site reviews > Bears & Mature > Daddy Lover

Daddy Lover is a full blown community and dating site where you can meet either mature daddies or pick up a daddy lover of your own. There's also a collection of porn videos featuring older men. There is a lot to look at here, so I settled in for the long haul of seeing exactly what type of trouble I could get into.

The first place logging into the member area takes you is a central control panel. You can check your messages, edit your profile, see guestbook messages, take a look at your buddies, and go right to the chat rooms. There are also a few additional options on the top navigation bar: search, videos, DL Blog, favorites, and who's looked. Although this sounds like a ton of stuff, it is actually a very clean web 2.0-esque layout.

First things first - let's take a look at the profile offerings. There are 72,497 profiles currently on Daddy Lover, which is rather evenly divided between daddy lovers and daddies themselves. There are plenty of ways to search for exactly who you'd want to see - username, age, height, location, body type - lots and lots of options here. As far as real members, when I was logged in there were around 120 people logged in.

The webcam chat was next on my list. This is a combination of a regular chat room and a webcam chat. You can go webcam to webcam along with audio chat, or you can just sit in the text chat room. When I stopped by, it seemed pretty dead, so I didn't get a chance to see any of the webcams in action.

The videos section is more of an after-thought, but there is enough there to give you something to do while you're waiting for your daddy of the day to pop online. Although they say there are 363 videos in total, honestly only 72 of these are actually on the site itself. These all look to be licensed mature men videos that you might have seen before. The size for the latest videos is decent - 640x480 - but the bitrate is only 426 kbps and the quality seems on the lower side of amateur. Only the latest videos are this big - others are 480x360. Videos range in size from 1 minute to 22 minutes, with the vast majority averaging at the 20 minute mark. I'm not sure when these videos get updated, but if I had to guess I'd say it's around once a week.

The blog was the last section I checked out, and it actually seems to have a lot of commenting and participation. Judging from this, it seems like Daddy Lover really works on adding in new requested features. There are a few differences between the various levels of membership, with lower levels mostly just restrictingthe amount of PMs you can send and cams you can watch.

If you're looking for a good daddy dating site, or you're just looking for some fellow daddy lovers to hang out with, Daddy Lover is a solid site. There are a lot of user friendly features here that make it easy as pie to get in touch with everyone, between the many different chat options and the PM system. Plus you can't argue about the porn that is here - it might not be the best quality, but it's spot on the mature men niche and there's a decent collection of it.

Things we liked:

• Good Community Features
• Easy to Use
• Large Amount of Profiles
• Downloadable Videos
• No DRM used
• Webmaster seems very open to adding new features on request

Things we didn't like:

• Not much activity in chat / cams area
• Most promised video content is through feeds
• Quality on videos could be higher

Membership prices: ( billing by CCBill  )

  this membership includes chat, and messages
• Monhtly: $19.90 (recurring every 90 days)
