For love or money? Once upon a time, this was the woman’s bind. But the times have changed and now many women make sufficient income on their own to be able to make their considerations solely based on love. Of course, if you can find love and money in one shot – someone to love spending time with and sharing a comfortable lifestyle with – why would you not? Yes, there are some women looking for Sugar Daddies to take care of them…but that’s a woman’s prerogative, right? Whatever your reasons, this online dating niche has materialized in polished, stylish sites including SugarDaddie.com and WealthyMen.com, that offer all of what you’re looking for amid an air of authenticity.

SugarDaddie.com was the first of a now half-dozen or so sites focused on the premise that wealthy men will use their wealth to attract arm candy, while women will capitalize on their beauty to meet rich men. While the premise has evolved as women’s income potential has increased, it hasn’t evolved enough yet as to where rich women are picking from men who make less than they do. As such, this site caters to the stereotypical “sugardaddy” and what he is looking for – usually sexy women, young, beautiful women, or just a woman who is looking to be pampered and spoiled by an affluent man. The requirements for salary start at $100,000 for the men, and the site does seek to verify these incomes, as well as pictures and employment information. These confirmations are not required, but those who provide them are noted as authentic on their profiles.

As such, there’s really very little to differentiate SugarDaddie from WealthyMen.com, which also provides verification procedures to provide some reassurance the 6-figure earner you’re meeting for dinner is being dropped off at the restaurant in his mother’s old Ford Escort. Verification differs slightly from SugarDaddie in that members MUST verify at least one of income, employment or photos before they can correspond with anybody. You also get a few added features, such as a “Network Center” to keep track of those you have added to your network.

In either case, if you limit yourself to the men whose wealth is actually verified, you should be able to find exactly what you’re looking for.
