someone to talk to everyday and someone to vent to when needed.”Ī common misconception about sugar daddies is that their only motivation for taking on a role like this is sex. “I think some men use this app to just have company. “Most of the conversations I have are PG – we talk about our days, jobs, hobbies and pets,” she says.
So why are so many men investing serious money to message women on Meete? According to Megan, it’s not necessarily about forming romantic or sexual relationships. Despite this, it claims to have over 17 million users. In fact, if you came across Meete on the App Store, you’d have no idea that you could use it to make money. Unlike websites like Seeking Arrangement, which explicitly market themselves towards sugar daddies and sugar babies, Meete describes itself as a way to “start meaningful relationships and meet friends”. “I started using it because I found out you get paid to speak to men on the app,” she says. Like Megan, she also discovered the app through TikTok. Taylor, 23, who is also based in the UK, has been using the app for around two months and has already earned enough points to withdraw around £1,200. “I’ve learned about some guys’ past experiences with girlfriends/ex’s, jobs, pets, family and hobbies I keep it very generic. “The job I was previously at was only a Saturday job and I am saving up for a few things so the extra cash interested me,” she explains. She claims to have earned approximately £3,600 through talking to men on the app. Megan, 18, has been using Meete for just over six months – like all the people I interviewed for this piece, she is speaking anonymously to protect her privacy.
The more women interact with people on the app – through calls, messages and voice notes – the more points they receive. There are plenty of other ways for them to show their affection, with the option to send virtual gifts like flowers and teddy bears, which translate into points for the women who receive these gifts.Īfter a certain point – which could be after days, weeks or months of messaging men, depending on how consistent and popular you are on the app – women can convert these points into cold hard cash, transferrable directly to their bank account via Meete. So how does it work? The app is totally free for women to use, but the men using the app have to purchase “gems” in order to match and message women. What makes Meete different is that women can profit simply from engaging in conversations with the men they’ve matched with.
This exchange of messages, and the many more that followed, took place on an app called Meete, which functions, for the most part, like other dating apps: You create a profile, send likes to people of your choice and, if you match, you can start a conversation.
