Sugardaddie.com, a dating site for classy, attractive, and affluent people, has certainly garnered the attention of the press, having been featured on Dr. Phil, Richard & Judy, and BBC Radio, and in The New York Post, The Sun, and News of the World, to name a few. Unlike other similar sites where the men are supposed to be the rich ones and the women are supposed to be the beautiful ones, Sugar Daddie is both for women seeking a “sugar daddy” as well as men seeking a “sugar babe”.

The result is a membership base that is at once wealthy and beautiful, regardless of gender. Sugardaddie.com also provides a huge library of articles, stories, tips, and advice on topics related to dating and wealth. Unfortunately, those articles seem to comprise the bulk of Sugar Daddie’scontent. It appears from the site that the folks at Sugardaddie.com seem more interested in producing a "sticky" (read: search engine optimized) site than providing a feature set as rich and abundant as the site's target members.

Ease of Use
Ease of Use

The Sugar Daddie site is as simple and straightforward to use as the average dating site. As for organization, Sugardaddie.com has too many links purporting to take visitors to a useful feature, but actually only lead to a half-baked article targeted more at the search engines than at the reader.
