Seriously. Men have been disgusting for thousands of years. Not news. |
riiiigggght, because women have zero part to play in this. spare us the BS. |
What exactly is so disgusting about this? |
Who then go home. You left that part out. You aren’t paying for the sex and companionship. You’re paying them to leave after. |
| Women are more open, responsive and interested on sugar sites. On traditional dating apps they are way more flaky and inundated with attention from low value men, which means you don't get the best ROI on time invested. On a sugar site you are, presumably, pre-vetted as at least have something of "value" to offer, so women are on better behavior. |

There are way more women interested in this than men willing to pay
But the reason is simple economics. Men want sex a lot more than women. So they pay to make up the gap. No one gets hurt. If this is exploitive to you, I assume you buy nothing made in China |
Hahahahaha!! Money is DEFINITELY the goal. You think they 20 something just wants to spend time with you?! If money wasn’t the goal, she would just match with guys her dad’s age on the apps. |
DP, it's about the experiences that an older, more established guy can curate and provide for them. Those do require money to a certain extent, but it's not exclusively cold hard cash. It's status, access, experience and know how. |
| DH has a friend who does this. At one point, he made a small fortune on commercial real estate but had an expensive divorce and hasn’t made any money in years so he is not rich. We’ve been analyzing why he’d seek these types of “girlfriends” and have concluded that he wants to call the shots and doesn’t want a real relationship. He’s a good looking, single dad of two tweens. His ex-wife is crazy (likely undiagnosed BPD), cheated on him constantly, abandoned their kids and I suspect this has turned him off any real relationship. |
Money and the boost in knowing that some guy will pay to be with them, making them feel desirable. |

I've talked about this here before but I was a sugar baby briefly ~15 years ago. I never had sex or anything close to it, really. I think I made out with one of the guys but I probably would've done that even if he hadn't just taken me on a shopping spree.
Just to go on record, it's not always prostitution. One could argue that marriage is a form of enslaved prostitution. Point being, there's nuance in everything. |
| Sounds a lot like the Epstein/Ghilane trial I’ve been watching. |
Uh no one could not argue that lol. Sugar babies on the subreddit I shared earlier always make this argument to justify their trashy life choices. He married his wife, he pays you for sex. Y’all are not the same. |
| Found a few decent men to date off the sugar baby site. Pay to play but long term. |
+1 they want companionship on their terms. They don’t want a real relationship or to treat a woman as an equal. They also want dates and going places in public, or a travel partner to bring along, so more than just BJ’s from a prostitute. It seems incredibly sketchy and risky to me as a woman. |
