DaddyHunt

Founded in 2005, DaddyHunt is the web's most popular free social network and dating/hookup site for daddies, bears, and hunters (DaddyHunt's term for cubs.) DaddyHunt is friendly and inclusive, with very little attitude and it's much more than just a meat market. DaddyHunt offers a vibrant, diverse community with more than 220,000 members and you can usually find at least 10,000 of them online at any given time (and often many more.) As we're writing this on a Monday afternoon, there are over 11,000 guys online at the site.

The "free" accounts at many online dating communities are so gimped that they're almost unusable. However, DaddyHunt is different with a free membership that is actually viable for long-term use. If you like, you can also upgrade to "Supporter" status to get some premium features and benefits that are cool but not essential.

DaddyHunt's free and paid members can both send and receive messages, view profiles, add buddies, see who has checked out their profiles, upload profile photos (free members can upload 10 and paid members can upload 25), and save custom searches (free members can save 3 and paid members can save 25.)

So what are the fancy "Supporter" extras, you ask? Supporters can also view full-sized photos and adult photos, view their full message history, use advanced search, see who has "Favorited" them, save messages, see when their messages are read, and keep private notes on member profiles. They also get a small badge on their profiles, they can hide banner ads, and they have access to extra features on "Mister" DaddyHunt's mobile app for iOS and Android devices.

There are other hookup and dating communities for daddies and bears but none of them offer a large, active community like DaddyHunt. Upgrading to "Supporter" status is very affordable (about half of what most competing sites charge), so it's definitely worthwhile if you like the site.
