Sugar Babies; Does it lead to a happy life? I find the whole sugar daddy/baby situation...

I think there's a certain percentage of people who aren't even truly able to take care of themselves, grow on their own and create new valuable things in life. So their options are either slaving in a dead end low wage job or make themselves attractive enough to be able to attach themselves to someone else like a tick and if it's someone rich, they at least enjoy some luxuries in life.
I can't imagine taking such path myself but kind of understand why some women do that.
Living an honest, self-reliant life doesn't guarantee happiness and perhaps they are aware of that.

I know we're trying to normalize sex work and pretend it's fine, but I don't see men paying for attention as fine.

I know it's human nature. We've been doing it for hundreds of years. Beautiful daughters married off to an old crust flake who can provide handsomely.

All I can assume, as I don't understand, is that love doesn't need to be a factor to stay together. But isn't that many marriages anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️

I tried it once. It was mostly lonely, poor, desperate guys pretending to be rich so they could attract me and have someone to talk too. So no, not a good way to make money.

No it doesnt, at least not for the one I know. He supported her for years and when he died she got nothing. They met on sugardaddy.com.
The other one I know didn't meet that way. Not sure how they met. He was a married brain surgeon and got the girl I know pregnant. He gave her an awesome house, nice car, and her own credit cards. Thing I don't get is after she had the baby, his wife helping with raising the child. But years later my old friend still has nice house and all, but all her selfies she takes she's always alone and never looks genuinely happy.

more or less prostitution without actually calling it that. LOL

I've never been a sugar baby and don't plan on it. But from my understanding, most of them do it solely for the money. It's pretty easy money and life is tough without money. Also, most of them I'd say are doing other things like school or work and its just something on the side to do at nights or weekends for extra $$.

For those of us that are not in the third world it's easy to be cynical. What would you do in their situation? Why do you think prostitution exists? You're so spoiled. You have no idea what it's like.

I have to agree with you. Lack of self respect too.

Where I live it’s very common. The women usually have a crappy background and also want “stuff.” They are pretty shallow, but work is hard and doesn’t pay well.

I concur. Yikes. Seems so empty plus I couldn't give up my independence and individuality, let alone dignity, like that.

I’ve never given it any serious thought. It seems like a loose/loose situation.

I wasn’t exactly a sugar baby but before i had several men pay for the “girlfriend experience”.

No. I grew up poor and having access to that kind of money was great to me. I invested it into fixing up the house my grandparents left me and paid for beauty school out of pocket. I never liked people, so the lack of friends was something I dealt with since childhood.

Haven't had either one since I was a kid

Pimping is a depressing business

I think it’s hopelessness is all.

Some people would rather just have handouts instead of putting the hard work in
