Introduction

EliteMeetsBeauty claims to be a dating site that connects successful and beautiful people. As the site's name suggests, elite, successful men can meet and enter into relationships with beautiful women. The site is available globally but is reasonably small, averaging only 150,000 visits per month. The countries that use Elite Meets Beauty the most are Norway, Finland, and the US.

Launched in 2017 under the name Rich Meets Beautiful, the site was originally a sugar dating site. You may see older Elite Meets Beauty reviews that still refer to it that way, but since rebranding, it mentions in a few places on the site that it is not for sugar babies or sugar daddies. You might be wondering, is Elite Meets Beauty legit? Let's find out together.

This EliteMeetsBeauty review will research whether the site is living up to its claims. We will cover some pros and cons and explore the login and registration process. Next, the site's various features will be explained, as well as how much their memberships cost. We'll take a look at their safety features and any concerns you might have. See our final verdict on whether EliteMeets Beauty is worth your time in the conclusion, and find answers to some frequently asked questions at the end of the review.

Pros & Cons

• Registration is fast and easy.

• Relatively expensive premium, with many extra costs.

• No matchmaking service or algorithm.

EliteMeetsBeauty Login Process

The homepage gets the ball rolling on registration right away, with an EliteMeetsBeauty sign-up sheet being the first thing you'll see. It takes the form of a typical dating site registration by asking for your gender and the gender of the person you're looking for. This is followed by entering your email address, and it will also ask if you'd like marketing emails or not.

Remember that EliteMeetsBeauty will send you at least five emails daily, even when you opt out of the marketing emails. So, if you are someone who likes to keep their email inbox clean, definitely opt-out, but keep in mind that you'll get tons of emails no matter what. This is slightly annoying, but you can change your email preferences in your settings.

Clicking the 'Try free and anonymously' button will open a Create Your Profile page. This page has fields for you to enter your first name, date of birth, and location. You also create your password and confirm that you're not a robot with a recapture. Your email address and the password you create are your Elite Meets Beauty login details to use next time you sign in.

Next, you must add profile pictures. This step is not optional, so have your photo ready. You're given the option to crop or rotate your photo, and you can also set your picture as private if you want to. Turning on the private setting means members of the site can only see that photo if they send you a request to view it. You can grant them access by giving them a "private key". One photo is enough, but you are encouraged to add at least six.

You'll need to verify your contact details before accessing the site. You can do this by clicking the link that will first be sent to your email address and entering your cell phone number. You'll be sent an OTP, which you'll need to enter on Elite Meets Beauty. Next, you'll start completing your profile by describing yourself. Start by stating what kind of relationship you're seeking, your height, weight, hair, color, and body type, and write a little something about yourself.

You'll be able to access the site and start browsing once you've completed the above, but if you want to have a fully completed profile there are several additional fields. These include:

• Ethnicity and best feature

• Tattoos/piercings

• Smoking/drinking/exercise habits

• Education level, annual income, and net worth

• Your personality and interests

• A little about yourself and what you're looking for

Dating Features

Virtual Gifts

Members can use credits they receive when they purchase premium to send others Virtual Gifts. These are an image of a gift, like a rose, kiss, handcuffs, or a diamond ring, and you can add a custom message to be delivered with the gift.

While this is another way to show someone that you're interested in them, this is merely a moneymaking scheme for the site. Since these gifts do not benefit anyone in any real way, their purpose can also be achieved by sending the same emoji for free.

Real Gifts

EliteMeetsBeauty.com also allows female profiles to compile a Wish List from the Real Gifts page. Real Gifts indicates that it is a way for men to send real gifts to women on the site, anything from jewelry, lingerie, diamonds, and bedroom toys. Premium members can use this wish list to send attractive women an actual physical gift and pay for it.

The woman will get a notification and can enter her delivery address, which is not revealed to the sender. These can be a great way to catch someone's eye if you are otherwise going unnoticed. The gifts are all very expensive. This seems to be a remnant of the sugar-dating past of the site.

The Visits Tab

There's no need to wonder if people like your profile with the visits tab. Here, free and premium members can view a list of the people who have visited their profile. This can signify that someone wants to know more about you or finds you attractive.

Likes & The Likes Tab

While browsing Elite Meets Beauty, you will notice that the profiles have a 'chat' button to send them a message and a 'heart' button, which will send them a like, making them one of your favorites. Liking someone sends them a notification and is a way to flirt and catch someone's attention. You can like people with both a free and a premium account.

Similar to the visits tab, the Likes tab shows you a list of people who saw your profile and liked you so much that they clicked the heart to favorite you. This is a much more overt way of indicating your special interest in another person on the site. Only premium members can view this tab.

EliteMeetsBeauty App

There is a mobile app available for the site, which works the same way as the desktop version and allows you to keep looking for your partner while you're on the move. The app includes some features that aren't available on the desktop site, such as winks.

There also seems to be confusion about what you can and can't do between the site and the app since the app allows female profiles to view their favorites list (called the likes tab on the site) with a free membership while on desktop, you must have premium to view it.

Basic Search Criteria

The search page has a few basic criteria that you can use to find your perfect match. The filters available to free members are very simple – you can set a search radius of your match's distance from you. This can span from the 'whole country' down to 'within 10 miles' of yourself. You can also set an age range of potential partners, which is initially set to 18-100 years old.

You can choose to only view other members with photos or everyone. You can also search for members who've completed their profile with certain specific details. You can't specify, for example, what eye color you want them to have, but you can narrow down your search to folks who have completed the eye color on their profile. All details entered on your profile can be used for this search, but some criteria are reserved for premium members.

Advanced Search Criteria

There are also advanced search criteria that are only available to premium members. This includes criteria such as:

• Fellow premium users

• Users who have indicated their net worth or annual income

• Body type

• Ethnicity

Prices & Costs

The most important feature of premium is that you can message anyone on the site. Some of the secret benefits of premium memberships are viewing your likes tab, accessing advanced search filters, more privacy settings, priority listings, reading receipts for messages, and inbox filters. Also included are some credits used to send other members virtual gifts.

Premium membership costs different amounts for women, men, and mobile app users. This is another remnant of the days when the site was used for sugar dating. There are varying periods available for premium, and they cost the following: 

As is standard on most dating sites, you pay the full membership amount upfront, and your membership will automatically renew at the end of your chosen period. You can deactivate auto-renewal in your profile settings under 'My Membership'.

Men also have the option to add on the Standard Contacts feature. This costs $39.99 per month and will enable free members to reach out to you with a message or reply. If you don't add this, you can only talk to other premium members, which is essentially useless if there are few other premium members in your area. This is incredibly expensive for what it is and significantly increases the cost per month.

There is also the option to become a VIP member, boosting your profile in monthly search results. This costs $11 per month and will automatically renew. This is expensive and has very little benefit, so give it some thought if you're thinking of getting it.

How Safe Is EliteMeetsBeauty.com?

Profile Verification

Elite Meets Beauty offers a few different ways to verify your profile. When you register, you verify your email address and cell phone number by entering OTPs that are emailed and SMSed to you. This proves that you're a human being and not a bot. However, this is a weak form of verification because while it demonstrates that you're human, it doesn't prove that you are who you say you are.

The site incentivizes getting verified by offering you 150 free credits to verify your mobile (SMS) and profile with Windows or Google+. While normally incentivizing verification is a good thing, this seems to be aiming to create a false sense of security by upping the number of profiles with verified badges but using weak verification methods.

Photo Verification

You can also get photo verified, which involves submitting a selfie where you're copying a given pose in a sample photo. The moderation team will compare it to the sample photo, and you can get the photo-verified badge on your profile. This is a great one because, while still not foolproof, it's a much better way to ensure that the person you're talking to is who they claim to be.

While 70-80% of the profiles on EliteMeetsBeauty are verified, most are only SMS-verified, which is the weakest form. It's possible for someone using someone else's photos to get SMS-verified. This means that despite all the verified badges, we wouldn't recommend trusting that this badge ensures that those people are legitimate.

Your Personal Information

After thoroughly reading the terms of use and privacy policy, it seems that EliteMeetsBeauty takes reasonable precautions to keep your personal information safe. The only concerning part indicated that they use third parties to process payments and that those third parties are governed by their own separate privacy policies. While that sounds scary, this is a common clause on sites like this, and it is important to always exercise caution when entering your card details on any site.

The ability to send real gifts to ladies may be a cause of concern for some women because, with online dating, you do not want strangers to know your address. Real Gifts explains in their terms that if the sender does not know your address, you'll be able to enter your own. This information is only used to deliver your gift to you and will never be shared with the sender. This means that you are in control of your safety and can only share that information once you feel safe.

Report & Block Members

Elite Meets Beauty allows you to report users misbehaving by using the menu button next to their name on their profile or the menu button in the chatting interface. If you report someone, you'll enter a short message to explain your reasons, and EliteMeetsBeauty will investigate. If they're found to have contravened the terms of use, their account will be terminated.

You also have the option to block any profile on the site. Blocking someone will no longer allow them to see your profile or contact you on the site. This is a useful way to keep yourself safe if someone becomes abusive or if you suspect the person is scamming you.

Limited Privacy Settings

Elite Meets Beauty has minimal privacy settings, with the only option being to hide your profile from the search results. This means you're still visible to all the profiles you've already interacted with, but new people will not be able to find you while browsing profiles. Other sites have features that allow you to choose who can view you or allow you to browse anonymously without sending notifications about profile visits.

Conclusion

EliteMeetsBeauty.com is a site that needs to know what it is post-rebranding. As a sugar dating site, the different costs for men and women and the real, expensive gift list for women would make sense. But as a site that is very clear that it is Not For Sugar Dating, these things are confusing.

Any sign of a transactional relationship (e.g. giving gifts in exchange for dates) is grounds to terminate your profile. However, women are still encouraged to make wish lists of expensive jewelry they want strangers to gift them. The app and the desktop site are also curiously disconnected, with different subscription prices and features.

Subscriptions are expensive, and there's a new feature to pay for around every corner. While the feature of allowing free members to message you by adding an amount to your subscription solves a problem that many other dating sites have, it is very expensive. While profile verification exists and seems common, it is only a superficial verification level, leaving much to be desired.

As far as we can tell, there is no EliteMeetsBeauty scam, so we believe the site is reasonably legitimate. It went through a rebrand that mixed up its niche, and the site suffers from this lack of direction. For all these reasons, we give it a 2/10. There are better sites for dating, whether it is sugared or regular.
