This article is intended for adults (18+) and discusses consensual relationships from an educational and psychological perspective.
When I first heard the word “hypergamy,” I thought it meant being very sexual, but I was wrong. It turns out, Seeking.com is about this type of dating, and they define it like this:
“Hypergamy (hīˈpərɡəmē):
noun — Marrying or dating someone who has more money or belongs to a higher social group.”
In simple words, hypergamy is when people, mainly women, want to date someone who makes more money than they do. It’s kind of like a sugar daddy-sugar baby relationship, but there is more to it. People in this type of dating usually try to look their best, and they celebrate being rich and living a fancy life.
It’s not too hard to understand, but if you want to know more details, you should read the blog. Before you start, let’s see if the blog is worth reading in this review.
The Blog’s Regular Posts
I like the regular blog posts. A lot of the blog talks about how to use the tools that Seeking dating platform offers and understanding hypergamy. This is helpful if you’re on the site, but it could also be interesting if you want to learn about different kinds of relationships.
There are also posts useful to everyone, like reviews of other dating apps, dating tips, and advice on keeping a relationship strong. I’m not too interested in all the love stuff, but if you’re looking for a long-term partner, these posts might help.
The writing is fine. It’s not super exciting, but it’s easy to understand. I wish there were more posts each month, but the ones we have are good enough. Also, there are older posts that you can read if you want.
On a serious note, the blog also talks about human trafficking. If that’s something you care about, these posts are worth reading.
Blog Structure Needs Work
This is where things get annoying. The blog part of Seeking.com is not easy to use. It’s not impossible to find things, but it takes a lot of effort. There is a search function that works okay, but there’s no way to organise posts into categories or find similar articles easily.
There are no tags, and the only “related posts” feature shows just three suggestions. Since Seeking.com looks nice, this lack of organisation is very disappointing. Even worse, some important links are broken, including those to the “Community Guidelines” and the Reviews page.
Even though Seeking.com is available in many languages, the blog section isn’t. It should be, but it’s not.
The Lack of Writers’ Names
Another strange thing about the blog is that most of the posts are written by anonymous people. It would be fine if just a few posts didn’t have names, but almost all the posts are from writers with no names. What’s even stranger is that the blog isn’t looking for new writers, whether paid or not.
Final Thoughts
The site works fine on all browsers and devices, and there aren’t many ads, which is good. But the problems, like broken links and missing categories, should have been fixed a long time ago.
While Seeking.com’s main platform is good, the blog isn’t amazing. It’s okay, but not great. I’d give the main site five stars, but the blog only gets three stars.
