Everything you need to know before you join, in plain English. If something isn’t covered here, the support team in your member area is there to help with anything about your account.
1. Create your free profile
Signing up takes about a minute. Tell us whether you’re a man looking for men, your age and your email address, and confirm that you’re an adult and accept the terms. That’s it: your account is open.
You’ll then be invited to add a profile picture. It doesn’t have to show your face. Plenty of members use a landscape, a pet or something that says a bit about them on their public profile, and keep their real photos for later.
After that, take your time with your profile. A few lines about who you are, what you enjoy and what kind of man you’d like to meet make a huge difference to the replies you’ll get.
2. Public photos and your private album
Every photo you upload is either public, visible on your profile, or private, kept in your private album. You decide which, picture by picture, and you can change your mind at any time.
Your private album is opened by you, to the members you choose, one at a time. It’s the simplest way to stay discreet while still showing the right man who you really are once you’re talking.
3. Find men near you
Search by age and distance, and the profiles closest to you appear first. Whether you’re looking for an older man or a younger one, set the range that suits you and start browsing. Main profile photos are visible to everyone, so you can see who’s around straight away.
4. Speedflirt: the quick way to match
Speedflirt shows you one profile at a time. Like the ones you fancy, skip the others. When a man you’ve liked likes you back, it’s a match, which makes starting a conversation much easier for both of you.
5. Snaps
Snaps are short photos or videos that disappear after 24 hours. They’re a nice way to keep your profile lively and give people a glimpse of your day: the view from your window, the dish you just cooked, your dog looking pleased with himself. You can also browse other members’ snaps.
6. Likes and visits
Liking a profile is the easiest way to show interest. The “My visits” section shows who has stopped by your profile, which is often a good hint about who might be interested in you.
7. Messages and video calls
When you’re ready to talk properly, a subscription opens messaging and the rest of the site, including likes without limits and the full search. Once you’ve matched with someone, you can also have a video call, a handy way to say hello face to face before meeting in person.
The current offers are always displayed clearly in your member area before you choose anything.
8. Discreet billing
Payments appear on your statement under a neutral name, with nothing that mentions dating. And because DaddiesBoySquare works in your browser on any phone, tablet or computer, there’s no app to install and no icon on your home screen.
9. Real profiles
New accounts go through automatic fake-profile detection. Members can report any profile in a couple of clicks, and every report is checked by a person. Subscribers are treated as confirmed real members. You never need to send us ID or a selfie.
A simple rule for anywhere online: nobody genuine will ever ask you for money, gift cards or bank details. If someone does, report him.
10. Managing your account
Change your username: Account › My info › Username.
Change your email address: Account › My info › Email address. Update it under Personal information, then confirm.
Didn’t get the confirmation email? Check your spam, junk and promotions folders first, then make sure the address in your account is spelled correctly.
Email address not accepted when signing up? Try another address. If you need one, creating a new one with Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo only takes a minute.
11. Cancelling and leaving
The subscription renews automatically until you cancel, and cancelling is done online: Account › My info › Subscription.
If you’d like to leave completely, cancel your subscription first, then delete your profile under Account › My info › Advanced. Doing it in that order matters: once your profile is deleted, you can no longer access your account to manage the subscription.
Ready?
That’s really all there is to it. The best way to see how it works is to try it, and creating your profile is free.
