How SugarMatch works

SugarMatch is a dating site for adults who’d rather be direct about the relationship they want. It’s free to join, and here’s what to expect.

Join and confirm you’re 18 or over
Sign up with your email, then pass a quick age check run by AgeVerif, a separate age-checking service. We only keep the result (that you’re an adult), not your ID or a photo of your face. Members who pass show an Age verified badge.
Say what you’re looking for
Tell people about yourself and the kind of relationship you want, in your own words. Being upfront from the start saves everyone time, and it means the people who get in touch already know what you’re after.
Add photos, public or private
Every photo is looked at by a person on our team before anyone else sees it. You can keep any photo private and share it only with the members you choose, and stop sharing whenever you like.
Search, like and save your searches
Search by age, distance, what people are looking for and more. We only ever show a rounded distance, never an exact location. Save a search you use often and pick it again later. Liking someone is a low-pressure way to say hello, and if they like you back it’s a match.
Message people you’d like to meet
Chat privately on the site. Replying is always unlimited, and so is messaging a match. You can send a photo from your gallery in a chat, and block or report anyone from the menu in any conversation.
Grow with the community
There’s no paywall. Instead, members earn more room to start new conversations by being active, completing their profile and inviting friends who join. You can read exactly how on the levels page.

Built to be safe

Every member passes an age check before their profile goes live.
Photos are reviewed by a person before they appear.
You can block or report anyone, and our team looks at every report.
Anything that offers or asks for sexual services for payment isn’t allowed, and gets removed.
