I gave EstablishedMen a shot after hearing about it being a place where older, successful men could connect with younger women looking for that dynamic. I figured, why not? The idea sounded appealing, but my experience was a mixed bag.
Signing up was easy enough, but the site’s design feels a little outdated, especially compared to more modern dating platforms. It gets the job done, but it doesn’t exactly scream “luxury,” which is what you’d expect given the concept... The biggest issue I ran into was the amount of effort it takes to sift through profiles. There are definitely some legit users on there, but it felt like a lot of profiles weren’t active or were barely filled out. I did match with a couple of women, and the conversations were decent, but it felt like the platform relies too much on the whole “sugar daddy” angle without fostering real connections. It just seems like another one of those one-in-a-gazillion failed dating apps at this point. Also, the pricing wasn’t cheap. I had to upgrade to premium to actually get more out of it, and I did end up going on a few dates. But for what I paid, I expected better features and a more polished experience overall.
Anyway, if you’re patient and know what you’re looking for, it might work but I'm not convinced. I’d recommend it more for people who are very upfront about the dynamic they want, whether that’s mentorship, companionship, or something more romantic. For me it wasn’t exactly what I expected, and I can't see it being a decent fit for anyone really, there's way better platforms out there to find some sugar babies.
