User Review #1 by S on October 10th, 2009 at 11:37 AM CDT

Name

I'm well off, but I wouldn't say *rich*. But I tried out Sugar Daddie just for the heck of it, creating a free user name there. I was surprised to find that I received quite a lot of first-contact messages from women. This was in contrast to most other sites I had tried, where I rarely if ever received a first-contact message (in the case of honest sites) or (in cases of scam sites) I received lots of messages that I could tell were auto-generated by signs like time stamps that were more recent than the user's last-login date. Besides the fact that I received a lot of first-contact messages from most or all were from women who ranged (according to my taste) from fairly attractive to fantastic-looking. And quite a few were not just beautiful but also attractive in other ways, not just the cranky desperate types one finds on some sites. I found that I couldn't reply to any of the messages without paying, but I could tell just from the diversity of wording in the subject lines that the messages were genuine, not auto-generated. That convinced me to pay up. I got the least-expensive option, a seven-day trial for I think $7. I don't know whether that is still available, but the regular rates are good too, particularly for someone who is supposed to be well off. Anyway, I received about 25 first contacts while I was active on the site. About eight led to continued communication; I'm sure I could have met any of them if I had remained actively dating. I even made tentative plans to meet two or three of them. I met one who was pleasant company, but we didn't have a real spark, in part because I was thinking of another woman I had by then only talked to by phone. But I didn't remain on the market long. Instead, a woman from two states away convinced me to meet her, in spite of the geographical inconvenience, while she was visiting my area. We got together, and fell for each other on the first date. She's a model, actress, and singer. She's had solid professional day jobs during lean times for the entertainment work, rather than the low-paying hourly jobs that are stereotypical for out-of-work actors. I think she's beautiful even compared to other models (and I've met several through her circle of friends). I love her voice and her personality too, not just her beauty, which I know will eventually fade. And not only do I think she's amazing, she loves me too. She appreciates my talents, likes my looks (in part because I went along with the makeover she suggested, but she still saw something she liked in my initially plain looks), and accepts a lot of my faults. And I'm reassured that she's not just acting interested in me for my money, because she's still with me after seeing a great deal of it dissipate into the Bush-hangover economy. I also enjoy the fact that she shows me off to her friends. Anyway, three months after we met, I moved to her state, and we moved in together. We're still together, and still on love. Obviously, one story is no proof that one can find true love on a site, but it certainly worked for us. I have only two complaints about the site. One, it's simply embarrassing to answer "Sugar Daddie" when people ask how we met, so we had to make up an alternate story for that. Two, I find the grammar slip of "daddie" in the site name irritating; it should be "daddy" or maybe "daddies", but not "daddie". Of the two, the embarrassing how-we-met point is more troublesome.
