When people talk about sugar daddy, they probably think of a successful, suavely dressed middle-aged man with an unquenchable thirst for 20-somethings and an unlimited bank balance to spoil them in exchange for companionship and, sometimes, sex. That’s a fairly accurate stereotype, but it doesn’t describe everything about the arrangement.
Finding Your Ideal Sugar Daddy: Tips for Success
The truth is, for some women, being a sugar baby is actually quite beneficial. When women can auction themselves to wealthy men on sites like Seeking Arrangement, it frees them up to do things they wouldn’t have otherwise been able to do. They’re able to travel and shop at luxury stores without worrying about the cost, or skip out on bills. They can further their education, advance in their careers, or hone their genuine relationship skills.
But for other sugar babies, the lifestyle can be deceiving and ultimately unfulfilling. A recent study of 6.7 million users on Seeking Arrangement found that there are three sugar babies for every one sugar daddy. It’s no wonder these women can find themselves entangled in a web of increasingly depraved fantasies and scenarios that they’re drawn to simply because they want to feel something.
It’s important for sugar babies to be clear on their boundaries. What kinds of expenses do they want covered, and how much time are they willing to spend? And it’s equally important for sugar daddies to be clear on what kind of “sugar” they want. For instance, if they want a woman to spend their money on shopping and travel, but they don’t want sex, it’s important to make that very clear from the start.
