Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the website, encountering issues like error codes and a general feeling of sketchiness. Customers frequently report problems with the pricing structure, finding the site extremely expensive due to the credit system required for every interaction. Additionally, the payment process itself was a source of frustration, with unexpected charges and difficulties purchasing credits. Reviewers also expressed significant dissatisfaction with the response time from the company, often receiving no replies to their inquiries. However, some customers also noted that they had met genuine individuals through the site and believed some profiles were real. A few other people also felt that the site still had genuine members, and some had even made good connections, though they acknowledged that the percentage of real profiles seemed to be decreasing.

I met a great man on SB

Hiya. I would like to share that i signed up to secretbenefits based mostly on reading the positive feedback the service was getting. I'm a single college student looking for a relationship with a mature and supportive man.

total ripoff- the word is starting to get out

While you do get to open a free membership and browse profiles, that's just a tease. The responses will start coming at you which is what you pay for if you wish to respond or view the hidden pictures . I saw a similar review such as mine is going to be and it described exactly what was going to happen. The whole thing is a big scam. Okay, i did bite as the other reviews were so overwhelmingly positive that it seemed to outweigh the one negative outlier i came across. More of the same scam. As soon as you pay for your credits, the messages and permissions to view hidden pictures just pour in from all these beautiful women nearby. You spend 10 credits or so to see the message that was just sent and all they ever say is pretty much the same thing.- that is "Hey there" or" what's up?" or some derivative. Then you look at the permission pics and they are all basically G-rated bathing suits. You can go through a couple $100 in no time, maybe respond to 5 messages and 5 private pics and pretty soon you'll realize what's going on. everything here is a scam right down to the tons of positive ads in this review and everywhere else this site gets reviewed. Once your burn through your initial $200, the responses and pleadings turn up to full blast to try and lure you back for a renewal, but hopefully, you're a lot smarter by this point.

20% real, 80% inactive

I'm adding an update and revision to my review. While the below is still accurate in my opinion, the support crew behind the site itself have been both supportive and accommodating. This therefore increases the star rating from 1 to 3. They set a very good example for other sites to follow.

While there are a few genuine active female users on the site, there are a lot of fake or inactive ones too. Based on a few weeks of interacting with women on this site, I'd guess that around 20% are actually real active people. The rest are profiles that get you to spend credits. You'll get a single message from someone attractive or appealing (10 credits spent) and no matter how you handle your response, it ends there. Even though they don't reply to you, they still grant access to their private photos anyways, spending 10 more credits. I've also received messages from women that didn't even look at my profile at all. Possible bug? So while there are in fact some real people in the site, a vast majority are 'not there'. So 20% real yields a 20% grade: 1 out of 5 stars.

Happy to report that this site actually worked for me. Took me a couple of weeks searching, but I found a great match to see regularly.

Go for complete profiles for success

Yes, this site works for me as far as meeting women of interest.

My tip is don't bother with the basic profiles. If they serious about the platform, verified, full bio, blah, blah, they going to be more serious to meet you.

You can meet guys for dating

You can meet guys for dating, relationship, or friends.

I am only dating but get asked for a relationship a lot.

I feel this site can be good for anyone looking to establish a particular arrangement based on terms that suit them.

Signed up here after getting booted from Tinder for some untold reason (I heard it happens a lot to people on that site). So far, I’m super happy with my experience using secretbenefits. Chats are good, everything functions good, plenty of profiles.

Met someone on SB😍

hi. I hid my profile today because I met a super nice guy that I want to spend time with. I guess he can still see my profile because we were chatting on SB, but is there a way he can see I have my profile hidden?

I would like to also share that SB is an awesome online service to help guys that may need an edge in finding a beautiful match.
I have used the site twice before to find a suitable woman to compliment my life. I'm on again still working on finding the right one, but my spirits are always up with my many chats and consistent dates.

Dating site a complete scam

I have a profile but haven't writen anything other than a tag line. I don't even have a photo uploaded. It wasn't even a week before I started receiving messages and adding me as a favourite, by women, on the site. To me this is a redflag that the site is another complete dating scam. Since my profile is incomplete with no photo up so why would users contact me? You have to pay a lot to read the messages. There are plenty of these so-called dating sites with fake profiles out there and this appears to be another one of them. Even if they have videos of users claiming to be verified it doesn't exclude the speculation that they could be actors, paid employees or real profiles selected by the site to send you a message. It's very unfortunate that these types of sites are common and this is the way to cheat people.

Biggest scam and bot site there is

Biggest scam and bot site there is - I’ve been on there 9 months and you get daily messages from girls, but you use credits to open message, message them and no response - happened on at least 15 profiles - avoid this site - total scam - it’s also got the profiles linked to sugardaddy.com site to I think - so avoid that too

Although - just asked for refund of outstanding credit and they did it straight away - so that was a positive

I think it depends on exactly what kind of relationship you want but if you want to put it out there on this site, I think that there’s a decent chance you’ll find someone willing to take you up on that.
Personally, I went in looking for a travel companion and had no issue finding plenty of great people.

Good and Bad

Yes I have been Lucky enough to be with a very sexual young lady for a year. Its over between us. You just have to put up with extra needs. The girls will ask for money so they can get their nails and eyelashes done etc. lol. If you know what i mean. Don't give out to much money inbetween seeing them because you might not see them again. But they will hound you believe me. I learned a valuable lesson. Ahead of seeing this one snake seeing she was begging for $ for food for her kids and she was really in need of a drink. also needed $ for babysitter ahead of seeing me. Never seen her!
But once again searching and finding choices and some get back to you and some won't.. Be patience.

Site seems well put together

Site seems well put together. I have had a good amount of interaction and currently getting to know a couple of ladies.
I appreciate that the site has a light and modern feel and overall more upbeat compared to some dating sites that I’ve tried that comparatively seem a bit drab and serious.

A site where gents treat you like a lady? Why I wasted so much time on men who wants to split the cheque is sad but at least I found a site that caters to an older fashioned way of dating.

Total scam

Total scam. Pay all that money, respond to a message that was sent to me and just gets marked as read with no response. Most of the girls even unlocked their “Secret Photos” after reading my message, but don’t respond. I even reached out to their customer service and got totally ignored
