Sugar Daddie Dating

Sugar Daddie Dating

SugarDaddie.com
In business since 2002, Sugardaddie is a niche dating site that caters to wealthy men who make more than $100,000 a year and the women wanting to be pampered by them. With a very high ratio of women to men, Sugardaddie prides itself on being one of the first millionaire dating sites. But will it offer the benefits, services and features you want, plus the type of partner you need? Read on for a full review, along with membership fees and policies.

Overview from the Sugardaddie Dating Site

"Sugardaddie.com is a high quality dating site for successful men who have financial security and confidence and attractive single women. Do you want to meet people and change your life for the better?"

What a Sugardaddie Membership Includes

Sugar Daddie is available to members in Canada, the US, UK and Australia only, and offers two relationship choices: strictly sugar daddie/sugar babe relationship, or not strictly sugar daddie/sugar babe relationship. All members must be 21 years of age to join, no matter where they live.

A free membership allows the user to sign up for the service, upload up to three photos, and search through the listings and replying to messages. A paid membership allows users to access the service freely, including contacting other members.

Most of the features at Sugar Daddie are standard, i.e. email, photos, hotlisting and basic searches, but their search feature is severely lacking in that users can only look at other members in a large geographic region and not their specific area. For instance, I was only able to see one state/province at a time when I reviewed the site, and had no idea how far away the members I viewed were from me as no one's city or town is listed on their profile.

Unique Features of Sugardaddie's Dating Site

Other than the unusual nature of the site itself and the media attention it has garnered for its members, Sugar Daddie does have a few benefits and features that are out of the ordinary:

  • No automatic billing, which is prominently advertised throughout the site;
  • One-click searches for new members and who has placed you on their hotlist.

Oddly, there is no income verification system on Sugar Daddie, so users can write in whatever income they please to self-designate the ability to be a sugar daddie. As well, the system seems skewed to only allow male sugar daddies and female sugar babes, with only heterosexual pairings.

Sugardaddie Membership Fees

Membership fees for Sugar Daddie Dating are as follows:

  • $21.99 for 1 month
  • $32.99 for 2 months or $19 per month
  • $43.99 for 3 months or $17 per month
  • $76.99 for 6 months or $15 per month
  • $109.99 for 12 months or $11 per month

All Sugar Daddie membership prices are in US dollars and can be paid by credit or debit card. There is no automatic billing with Sugar Daddy.

The Bottom Line

Sugar Daddie is one of the first wealthy men sites of its kind, as well as one of the largest. However, its lack of anything but the basic features and inability to seek out local partners are limiting. There are better options in the wealthy dating site category today.
