Founders message
I created Pursuing Sugar because I was tired of the endless BS with other sites. The overuse of fantasy profiles, the endless list of rules and the threat of being banned for no reason, or one that makes zero sense. I wanted a place where I could go and find a sugar relationship without all the red tape. I want this site to be fun, friendly and encourage participation in the community. I know there will be abusers and the rules are spelled out in the TOS, but I kept them very simple and not a 100 page book of legal bs.
Fantasy Profiles
Let's talk about the endless use of fantasy profiles. There are several sites that use fantasy profiles and call them “for entertainment purposes.” My problem is that most of the time it is hard to tell that a profile is fake, and I feel like they trick you into signing up because you see a lot of profiles in your area but none of them are real. I don’t have any intention of using fantasy profiles as a way to boost the site numbers. This site is new so there are very few people here I'm not hiding that fact behind some fake profiles.
Things to do
Currently, there are many things to do on the site. There is of course messaging and search. You can favorite profiles and there is a evaluate photo, which is similar to tinder.
You can’t have a dating site without photos. Each member comes with three different image folders, public, private and storage. The public are for images that are visible to other members. Private is for those naughty photos or if you’re a little shy and want privacy to not have public photos. These private photos required access to be granted to the member and they have to pay credits to unlock them in order to view the images. Storage is just a place to keep a few photos to swap out with others or include them in your messages to other members. Oh, yes you can include photo attachments to your messages even from your private gallery or storage folders. These are free for the other member to view.
Free members
This is another pet peeve of mine. So many sites say they have free membership. Well, technically they do, you can create an account for free but not do anything on the site without paying for it. This is very annoying to me personally as that is never made clear when they coax you in to creating the account.
I wanted to have a real free option and there is technically a free membership like other sites as anyone can join for free. The site uses a credit system but has a membership option as well. You use credits to send messages, view private images, and a few other things - the complete list is farther down on this page. When you join you are granted an allowance of credits for free. This gives you the opportunity to check out the site and use the many features and it is completely free of charge. So, in this case there is a “real” free membership.
Several things are included and don't cost any credits, message read receipts and attaching images to messages, for example are included and do not cost extra credits to use.
As an added bonus, if you log in four days out of a month you are granted the allowance again the following month. I wanted to make this as cost friendly as possible but still hopefully make enough money to pay for the site’s cost.
Public search
There is no public accessible search option. You have to have an account to search profiles. This is done for privacy of the members and to prevent the many image grabbers out there from just ripping the images from the site.
Cut out scammers
I went back and forth giving ladies free memberships. I know this type of site will be nothing without the ladies, but at the same time I have had personal experience with a lot of scammers using those free accounts on other sites. The site has a free option for everyone, in the free credits that are given out each month and I would expect some of those to be used by scammers of both men and women. It is something that can’t be prevented.
To be fair to the real ladies, I needed something a scammer wouldn’t likely do. Scammers rarely pay for anything, so I’ve decided to do a one-time charge for ladies to upgrade their accounts to a non-credit non-expiring and everything is included membership. This one-time charge is only $10 which I believe is very low cost and I am sure most real ladies would be able to afford. I believe this would help cut down on the scammers using woman’s profiles but at the same time not be a real burden on a real lady seeking a sugar daddy.
I want to be open to all people regardless of their beliefs. I don’t care personally what your choices in life are in regard to who you believe you are or who you want to be in a relationship with. I do disagree with some of the word changes that are happening. Let’s make it clear the word gender means biological parts on the site, as the definition in the dictionary states. On the profiles there is the option to set a gender identity and a sexual preference if you choose to do that and those can be used in search as a search filter option. Also, I don’t have anything about pronouns as I didn’t see a place where they would come up.
Age Limit
This site is for adults. That being said the age range for what is considered an adult varies by country and culture. To be legal I have to state that this site is for those 18 years or older.
The definition for "gender" on this site is "either of the two divisions, designated female and male, by which most organisms are classified on the basis of their reproductive organs and functions; sex". (The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.) You are allowed to be any "gender identity" on the site, but not what biological parts you currently have. By registering you understand this distinction and agree to the usage.
We've got what you need!
Pursuing Arrangement offers the most commonly used features of a dating website with various payment plans to fit everyone's wallet. I decided to go with a credit system. Each month you get a set number of credits for free. You can use these on what features you want to. If you need more credits then you have the option to purchase credit packs. Everyone gets the same features at the same credit cost except for those with reoccuring memberships who get a discount.
Theses are some of the features being offered:
Feature | Members |
---|---|
Browse/Search | No credit cost. You can search base on location, gender, age range, seeking tags, and so much more. |
Note: In a members profile there is the option to set that you are
looking for a male, female or both
. As an example of this,
if you are guy and select that you are looking for women then you will
see profiles in search of women. Now the catch is the other members have
to have selected they are looking for guys or both for this to work.
So, if you are a female looking for a female then guys won’t see your
profile. The same for the other way around.

Photo Gallery | There are three sections for photo galleries, public, private and storage. Public images are viewable to other members. Private galleries are viewable by a member after they are allowed access and pay the credit cost to unlock the image or images.

Account deletion | There is the option to delete your account. This will remove all images, any private messages, and everything that the member has done on the site. You will lose any unused credits once the process is complete, however, the deletion can be stopped by logging in. It will be as if you were almost never here. The account will be retained for legal purposes for thirty days then it will be permanently deleted. |
