There is a lot of joy found in the simple things in life. Though it should be one of them, dating can come out as one of the more stressful experiences. That is why many people are realizing the simplicity that comes with using a sugar dating site.
These sites are primarily set up for older gentlemen to meet younger women for relationships, with the understanding they will get gifts and enjoy the finer things in life. However, the sugar dating scene has evolved to include almost any relationship that has some sort of arrangement.
If this sounds like it could be for you, then we can help. Read on as I provide my personal insights into the best sugar dating sites.
1. Seeking.com
Seeking.com is my favorite sugar dating website by a country mile. It stakes its claim as the original and best sugar dating site out there and you won’t be disappointed. It is THE meeting place for rich men and (youngish) beautiful women. The focus is definitely on beneficial relationships, so everyone knows where they stand. So, a word of warning, there’s no point in signing up unless you can walk walk as these chicks will expect you to be able to do that.
The site advertises itself as being woman-heavy, having four girls to each daddy. The sign-up is intuitive, allowing you to state your genre and what you are looking for in handy mouse click options. Despite being advertised for men seeking women, you can seek anything you like, including both.
The beauty of the site is its transparency. By not skirting around the issue of why people are there, the site benefits and work much better than others. It also means when you message someone, all of the cards are on the table.
The free profile is good, and lets you do a search of all profiles. You can also upload as many pictures as you like.
One downside is that it is one of the most expensive sites I have visited. A thirty-day subscription is just under $100 USD. In essence, this should seem to keep those out who are not the financial benefactors the site is seeking.
The site actually has excellent functionality. It is modern and up-to-date. Sliders and quick search bars can have you with matches in a few clicks.
However, the greatest feature of Seeking is its verification methods. People can connect their Facebook, Instagram and do background and photo verifications. All the ones they have completed are shown in handy badges on their profiles, so you can sort the time wasters and the genuine profiles.
This is a fantastic feature. A lot of the profiles have also been online recently. This means they are not profiles created years ago which fill up the numbers.
Seeking is the most expensive site I have visited. However, it is a definite contender for one of the best. If you don’t want your time wasted, pay the extra and go for this outstanding website.
2. Sugardaddymeet.com
Another great option is Sugardaddymeet. While Sugardaddymeet is not the cheapest website, it has one thing that makes it stand out. That is genuine profiles.
Sugardaddymeet is also transparent with its pricing system. You are either premium or not. They will not bother you and spam you to upgrade to higher memberships.
When you do upgrade, the pricing tiers are easy to understand. They let you communicate with others, pure and simple. They have no additional packages filled with extras you will never need.

What makes Sugardaddymeet stand out is its verification process. You can see who a paying member is, meaning you know who is taking the site seriously. A robust picture and income verification system means that everyone is who they say they are.
This results in a website filled with genuine profiles. Women come in all shapes and sizes, as do the men. In fact, it has something for everyone including LGBT dating. All of this is regardless of your location.
Surprisingly, not all the profiles were young girls in their twenties. Age brackets were also plentiful in the thirties age group and even higher. This is great news, as it allows people to choose more mature sugar partners with whom they may have more in common.
Searching on Sugardaddymeet is also a lot easier than other sites. It has modern sliders and easy-to-access side panels. This lets you perform searches in a few swift clicks.
The website actually cares. Besides its thorough verifications, it also has a database of over 1000 articles on dating advice. This shows they are willing to help and support the people paying for their service.
The downsides are that it is a little pricey. However, the service and quality of profiles are well worth it. If you sign up to any sugar dating site, you need to make it this one.
3. Whatsyourprice.com
Whatsyourprice.com calls itself a dating website. However, they spin it, you are here for a very well packaged escort service. And that is not a bad thing.
The concept is that you bid on first dates. It claims to have over 4 million members, over 7 and a half million bids that have taken place, and an average price of $125 per date.
The first thing that hits you when you visit is the site’s functionality. In fact, the home page is pretty basic and bare. It tells you it is the online dating shortcut and invites you inside.
It does not take long to be on the free membership, despite the lengthy privacy and email policy you have to accept. In fact, it is a few basic pieces of information and you are in.
Compared to many of these dating sites, Whatsyourprice did not give me an awful lot of matches. However, I am in quite a remote area at the moment. This actually gave me some confidence, much more than when a site presents an endless scroll of fake profiles.
Many of these profiles could be identified as genuine. They had pictures taken in places I recognized. I am also in an area where girls have quite distinctive names, and these matched. You would not know that unless you lived there.
So, what makes the site different? Well, you have to offer a first date incentive. This is like placing a bid on a date with the girl. You need to have completed your profile before you can do this.
The site monetizes itself through the use of credits. These let you send messages and place bids. Credits do not appear on your bill as the name of the website, but a less easy-to-identify company name.
Credits start at $50 for 100, excluding VAT. This price decreases the more you buy. It also has no information about how much each of these services costs per credit, so the company could put the price of messaging and bidding up at any point.
Whatsyourprice is a unique concept. It does not have lots of profiles, but the ones it does have are genuine. However, the site claims to make dating easy. By the time you have bought credits, bid on a girl’s time, and messaged backward and forward, could you not hire an escort instead?
4. Establishedmen.com
Established Men is for gentlemen who have a good career and some cash in the bank. In return, the website offers access to beautiful, hot women from around the world.
By that, we do mean women. The site only has options for men seeking women and vice versa, as the name would suggest. If you are looking for non-hetero relationships, then you would be better elsewhere.
However, for the heterosexual male, it has everything you need. The paid packages run on a credit system. These credits allow you to access live chat and messaging features.
One downfall is that this credit system can get confusing when you are signing up. Differently priced tiers give you various amounts of credits, and they run for different lengths of time. It would be nice to have a more simplified credit buying process.

The website does have a lot of profiles. They are in the twenty-something age group, with a few in their thirties, but are very responsive. While it does seem to be set up for US audiences in its search functions, you can find matches globally.
However, as you pay credits to send messages and chat, it can be hard to know how much the girls want to talk to you. I had lots of responses, but I was unsure if they were doing it to meet someone, or if some of them take a cut of the credits.
The good news is that the website is well maintained. It has an app that comes recommended on the Google Play Store. Following the Tinder/Messenger style interface, it is easy to get to grips with quickly.
A good site that has lots of profiles and a global audience. However, pricing can be complicated. A good choice for anyone who travels the US and has occasional trips abroad.
5. Sugardaddy.com
Sugardaddy.com is the original sugar daddy site. Its distinguished pedigree means that it has accumulated the largest database of members on the internet.
The website has a range of pricing systems. With the lowest package starting at around $40, it is a fairly priced website. The upper tiers have add ons that are not required, so I would suggest this entry package as the best value for money.
The site’s many profiles are mainly based in the US. This is great if you travel in and out of the country. For anyone based elsewhere, the profiles thin out and you may be better using a more international service.

Luckily, the profiles you do find seem to be genuine people. With a little work, I found some people who were definitely not chatbots or fake profiles. I got some great responses from the people I messaged.
What does bring the site down a little is its dated look and appearance. It works and functions fine but looks like it was created ten years ago and has not had an overhaul since. From a website charging high prices, you would expect a little more.
One sign of this is its app. While advertised on the Google Play Store, it is actually still in development. This shows that money is not currently being put into maintaining the site. However, with an active community and genuine profiles, if you only pay for the package for a short time, it does not matter.
In summary, the site is good value if you buy the basic entry package. It is not international, so only use it if you are in the US. With a little detective work, you can find some great matches.
