Sugar Babies From Chéticamp, Nova Scotia

Sugar babies are women who provide intimate relationships or simple companionships to men in exchange for monetary favors or gifts. It is a mutually beneficial arrangement that can work for both those who need companionship and those who desire nice things or money. It is a type of relationship, not a business transaction, unlike other methods of garnering companionship in exchange for money. Sugar babies are not stereotypical "gold diggers." They come in all shapes and sizes and can be any type of woman in Chéticamp, Nova Scotia.

A sugar baby may be a college student who is paying her way through college, has some spare time to commit to a sugar baby/sugar daddy relationship and enjoys nice things. She may be intelligent, self-sufficient and classy. She may also be the opposite. The thing to remember is that sugar daddies are looking for different things. Therefore, sugar babies can be any combination of those things.

Sugar babies can also be independently successful women. They may have money of their own, spend time traveling as an executive for a big company, be a business owner or be perpetrator of any number of successful business endeavors. This type of sugar baby may find excitement in this sort of relationship. She may not need anything monetary or nice gifts from her partner. She may just enjoy having a man spend money on her, despite having plenty of money of her own. Many men find success attractive in a woman. Therefore, certain sugar daddies may have exactly this type of woman in mind when they seek to initiate a relationship with a sugar baby.

Monetary success and intelligence or lack thereof are not the only things in which sugar babies differ. A sugar baby's appearance is another area that may differ in Chéticamp, Nova Scotia due to cultural expectations or simply differ by personal preference. One sugar daddy may like a classic trophy girlfriend. He may want her to be young and very attentive to her looks on a superficial level. Another sugar daddy may not care how his sugar baby dresses but wants her to be athletic. Yet another sugar daddy may not care about looks at all and simply wants a woman who is entertaining.

When one envisions a sugar baby, the image of a young woman typically comes to mind. This is not always the case. Sugar babies may be older women because older and younger sugar daddies alike may prefer older women. Older women may also seek a life of relative luxury in their later years. It is a good way to have fun, receive gifts and take a break from the hustle of life.

The diversity in sugar babies also applies to ethnicity and weight. There is no set standard for any of these things when it comes to sugar babies. Any woman can strive to be a sugar baby and find the right sugar daddy for her. She can be tattooed and pierced or girl next door sweet. She can be funny or serious. She can be a lover of the arts or a computer geek. In short, sugar baby is as diverse a word as the word woman.

Economy

Apart from an important gypsum mine which operated off and on until the Second World War, the main industry in Chéticamp historically has been fishing. As fish stocks have declined, tourism has taken on more importance and is the largest industry at this time. Unfortunately the tourism industry has not been the success that many forecasted. The tourism industry is based on the scenery found in the coastal village at the entrance of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Chéticamp has also attempted to cash in on its traditional rug hookers ("tapis hookers"), Acadian music and food, with mixed results, and nowhere near the success that was once envisioned. Activities for visitors include whale watching and deep sea fishing. They also host an Internation Dance Festival, [2], and La fete National des Acadiens (August 15).

History

Chéticamp started as a fishing station used during the summer months by Charles Robin, a merchant from the island of Jersey and is considered one of the Acadian capitals of the world. In the years following the Great Expulsion many Acadians came to this area. The first permanent settlers, the families of Pierre Bois and Joseph Richard, came to the area in 1782. The settlement was established in 1785 by a grant of land to the 14 original settlers. Today the area, which is at the entrance of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, is a popular tourist spot.

Recreation

The local beach named La Plage St. Pierre [3] gives the locals as well as tourists a place for swimming, camping, and other recreational activities. The Northern Inverness Recreational Association also manages the local golf course.[4] is considered part of "Cape Breton's Fabulous Foursome"[5] and is renowned for the beautiful views and many rabbits.
