For me, Seeking is still the most reliable, but only if you know how to filter aggressively. The difference between a good week and a total waste of time is all about screening. I’ve noticed fewer fake profiles this year, but more people fishing for free dinners and “vibes only.” Not bad, but you have to read between the lines.

SugarBook has been surprisingly good for me in 2025. They tightened their verification, and I’m seeing far fewer dead profiles. If you’re in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, or Manila, it’s probably the strongest platform right now. The biggest improvement is that conversations feel more direct and less like endless circles.

I think people underestimate What’s Your Price. It’s perfect for fast meetups because everything is transparent from the start. It’s not for long term arrangements, but if someone wants to skip the endless texting phase, it’s solid. It works best in big US cities.

The “elite” apps like Luxy, The League, and some invite only platforms are basically the new sugar dating hubs. They don’t call themselves sugar sites, but the dynamics are exactly the same. I’ve met more high quality matches there than on traditional sugar platforms. The downside is you need a polished profile and patience.

There’s a new trend in 2025: private Telegram and Discord groups. They’re curated, small, and usually run by influencers or local communities. The quality is shockingly good compared to the big platforms, but you must be careful about verification and privacy. Some are legit, some are total chaos.
