Quick Summary:
Hookup potential: 4/5 Features: 4/5 Design: 3/5 Content: 4/5
- Excellent site for sugar daddies and sugar babes to get to know each other
- Complete suite of communication tools including email and live chat
- Good search and filtering features
- Lots of original content
- Does not filter out members of the gender which I am not looking for by default
The Full Story:
Sugar Daddy for Me is a great site where sugar daddies can look for their sugar babes and vice versa. Those these are the main sorts of relationships the site targets, other kinds of user are catered for, including sugary mommies, a gay sugar daddies, male sugar babies, men looking for extramarital affairs, and women looking for extramarital relationships.
The home page is quite simple but there are several particularly good features. A prominent one is the Control Panel where one can do various things like checking mail, saving search results, managing favorites, making changes to profile information, managing videos and pictures, previewing one’s gallery and profile, checking on who is online, and accessing the site through an iPhone.
Checking who is online is a very important feature because you are able to see those members whom you can chat with. One niggle I have with the site, though, is that I specifically indicated in my profile that I am looking for sugar babes–why then does it show me pictures of men in my search results when I have made it clear that I am looking for women? The site does explain that the first list is not filtered; I just don’t think this is a sensible default.
In the Quick Search feature, I can specify more details regarding the person whom I am looking for by indicating whether she is a sugar babe or a sugar mommy, an age range, and a location. I can also specify that the site will only show those members who have uploaded their photographs. In the Advanced Search feature, I can be more detailed in specifying other features, such as body type, marital status, and race. I agree that this functionality could be helpful but there are plenty of other features that could be added to permit me to further refine the search.
Another way to look for possible dates is through the Browse category in the menu bar on the top of the page. This category is divided into New Members, Most Viewed, In Your Area, and New Photos. If I want to search only among the newbies, I can click on New Members. (This time, it appeared that filtering has been conducted based on my preferences. Only sugar babes were shown.) The regretful aspect of the site I quickly realized by searching is that many of the new members do not have profile pictures. Possibly this is understandable–they are new to the site, but I do not believe that it would take a long time to get a digital photo and upload it to the Internet.
Another problem that I have with the Browse category is that there is no provision for instant messaging here even for those who are online. I have to click on the Online Now link on the upper right corner and then find the specific person again. This is very inconvenient. To add insult to injury, this particular tool shows all of those who are online and does not filter out members that should not be there (such as men) because I am looking for young sugar babes.
Anyway, you may also look for your date among the most popular members in the Most Viewed subsection of the Browse category. They are subdivided based on four age ranges. In the New Photos subsection, you are able to see the pictures that have been recently uploaded. The In Your Area subsection is for searching the membership database for a particular age range, Zip code, and gender. A map is shown and the locations of these members are tagged on the map.
Meanwhile, email messaging is also a great tool to use in looking for possible dates. The advantage of email is that even if a member is not online, you can still send a message to her. However, a more helpful feature here could have been the inclusion of the photo of the email sender.
All in all though, this is a great site for sugar daddies meeting sugar babes and vice versa. If it sounds like you, check it out.

Quick Summary:
Hookup potential: 3/5 Features: 3/5 Design: 3/5 Content: 3/5
- Simple layout with helpful features
- Good search functionality
- Minimal number of ads for other sites displayed
- Member’s Photo Gallery is difficult to navigate
- Some features transfer you to another site without warning
The Full Story:
The registration procedure for signing up with Red Personals is quite involved. You need to enter a variety of personal details–five pages of information in total.
The home page of Red Personals that you immediately see after logging in is simple but has a lot of helpful features for someone who is looking for a sexy date / one night stand. For example, it links to a page that provides all of the search features together. If you already know the nickname of a particular member you can simply type in the nickname to bring you to that member’s profile. The Simple Search feature lets you filter the ads made by members according to their gender, age, location and sexual preference. The other way to look for potential dates or sex partners is by browsing the Member’s Photo Gallery. Photographs of members are presented here, 30 photos per page. This is something Red Personals could afford to improve on. The only way to navigate this database of pictures is by clicking on the “Next Page” or “Previous Page” buttons. It can be clunky and frustrating.
For Gold Members, there are four additional ways of looking for a partner. One that is very convenient is one that shows a list of the profiles who are currently online. If you are in a hurry to get hooking up, this is a great feature! You can also filter the “who is online” results by choosing to show only couples, women or men. You can also sort the order of the photos shown by nickname or distance from your location.
Another advanced search feature for Gold Members is the Photo Browse, which is a slightly improved version of browsing the Member’s Photo Gallery. It shows the ads created by members that describe themselves and some photos of themselves. You can filter by gender, preference, age range, state, and country. The Profile Search will also let you search for certain keywords in the profiles or headline of members. The best search feature for Gold Members, however, is the Advanced Search tool. Here you can see the importance of those several pages of information that you needed to enter to sign up. Aside from the usual filtering criteria, you can also choose base on eye color, hair color, weight range, race, religion, drinks, smokes, marital status, number of kids, and education.
What is referred to as your “ad” within Red Personals is actually a compilation of your personal information that other members are able to see when they are browsing for potential dates. It contains information such as age, sex, location, distance, marital status, race, hair color, eye color, sexual preferences, AIM user name, self-description, photo, etc. A feature that I find interesting is the Purity Test because it lets you know how experienced a particular member is regarding sex with the opposite sex, sex with the same sex, use of drugs, exhibitionism, bondage, etc.
The Forums section is helpful because you can get a lot of information on dating, various kinds of sexual orientations, and associated information. You can make friends with other members who use this section through participating in discussions. If you want to know more about a particular person than what has been provided in the profile, the Forums section is the place to go.
Live Cams are available for viewing but they’ll cost you. A related section is the “Online Video Dating” which will bring you to a different site, one which is definitely there to make some money off of you.
My Mailbox is an important tool for sending and receiving personal messages within the site. This is part of the available communication system that will assist you in finding that perfect NSA partner.
Red Personals has enough of what you need to keep you satisfied. Just be wary of the upsells and grit your teeth and grind through the signup questionnaire; it’s really worth the time investment for the enhanced search capabilities that it ultimately facilitates.
