Sugar Daddy Relationships Gaining Respect, Drawing Envy

August 23rd, 2010

Sugar daddies have been receiving more recognition for their role in society than ever before, with more information about the real people who live the sugar lifestyle being shared and discussed online, in books, on TV, in the movies, and in hair salons and coffee shops.

It’s estimated that over 3 million sugar daddy and baby profiles have been created since 2007.

The fact that some women are seeking sugar daddies despite not having any financial need doesn’t come as a surprise to many here, but non-sugars are often unaware of how SD/SB relationships can be just as complex and varied as any other relationship configuration.

Why Sugar Daddies are ‘In’

Billionaire Heiress Paris Hilton with her Malaysian Billionaire Sugar Daddy Taek Jho Low (on his yacht).

Showing Off Sugar Daddies: Even ‘self-made’ millionaires like Paris Hilton are finding sugar daddies to help make life a little sweeter. Paris’ new sugar daddy  recently spent nearly $5 million on champagne for her and her friends.

College Degree’s Don’t Guarantee Financial Stability.  While having a college degree is still a definite advantage in today’s  workplace, it doesn’t always equate to a high paying job  (especially if your degree has anything to do with kids…)

Perhaps the underlying reason behind much of societies contempt for the sugar lifestyle is envy. Sugar relationships are constantly being  glamorized, vilified,  sugar-coated and scapegoated, but the sugar phenomena is no trivial matter.

Do you think society gives fair treatment to those in sugar daddy relationships?

How would people you know really feel about your sugar-life if they knew about it? Would some of them be jealous?

How is your sugar daddy dating going?

Shifting to Sugar Gear

August 9th, 2010

Many SD's say a smile can make all the difference when meeting a potential sugar baby. (Hillary Duff is NOT a member of SeekingArrangement)

Whether you meet your potential sugar daddy or sugar baby online, at the SA party, or somewhere outside of the Sugarbowl completely, it’s always important to have a sense of compatibility and genuine chemistry before planning an arrangement.

While it is possible to develop interest for a sugar overtime, many here have said that if there aren’t any ‘sparks’ on the 1st meet, it’s rare that they will develop later. Everyone has different rules for meeting potential SD’s or SB’s, but many here agree that 1st meets should be sober, at a public place, and with no obligations…

“Lamest date EVER with the sugar daddy from Saturday night. I have relearned my lesson about meeting guys while drinking.” - fabulous  anonymous sugar

Should 1st sugar meets be less casual than traditional 1st dates because of the negotiation/arrangement aspect?

Have you ever thought twice about the way you presented yourself to a potential sugar? Any regrets? Any success stories or tips?

How has your sugarlife been lately?

Trust In Arrangements

August 1st, 2010

Sugar Party NYC - Monday, August, 02, 2010

For many seeking arrangements, having a clear understanding of the benefits their partner will provide upfront is one of the main perks of being in the Sugarbowl.

Since arrangements are often shorter and faster than ‘conventional relationships’, a good deal of trust is required relatively soon.

What boosts your trust for a potential sugar daddy or sugar baby? What makes you skeptical?

How has the sugar been for you lately?

The Constant Sweetener

July 19th, 2010

Sugar daddies and sugar babies are having all kinds of fun in the hot summer of 2010. While this season has been sweet for many sugars, many have yet to experience their 1st sugar date, and many others are complaining of a sugar dry spell…

65% of sugars polled on this blog would prefer an arrangement to last less than 6 months, yet some have said that longer-term arrangements are harder to find but sweeter to have…

“I keep finding sugar daddies who want short term arrangements. I don’t mean to seem ungrateful for the sugar daddies I have met, but now that I’ve had a few different SD’s I’m ready for a long-term sugar daddy/friend. Why not keep an arrangement on hold instead of never returning to someone you know you can trust. But it seems like long-term arrangements are the hardest to find.” - MD SB

How long would your ideal arrangement last?

Here, There, Sugars Everywhere

July 11th, 2010

Lot’s of sugar daddies and sugar babies prefer certain areas for making arrangements more than others. One sugar baby says that after moving to LA from NYC, she noticed some differences between the women in both places:

“New York SB’s are much more sophisticated, wear darker clothes and usually have darker hair…” - Loni

While there are endless stereotypes about people in different places, there are certain places in Sugarworld with unique reputations…

Have you found a certain area/region where the sugar is sweeter?

What impressions do you get from sugars in different parts of the US or the word? Are you open to dating sugars outside of your country?

Tyra Banks Sugar Babies Reunion Stir

July 7th, 2010

Many here have noticed Tyra’s apparent infatuation with online sugar daddy dating, especially during her shows’ most recent and finale season. Here’s how one sugar baby described her discovery of the Sugarbowl through Tyra’s repeats:

“It’s funny to see how Tyra reacts to the sugar lifestyle. You would think she’d be more familiar with the concept considering her own lifestyle, spending so much time around older wealthy men and young beautiful women who have lived the life most sugar babies can only dream of. I just want to thank the people on this blog for proving to me that there are indeed real, and compassionate people in this sugar world… wouldn’t necessarily know that after watching Tyra…” - Sugarberry04

What sugar topics are you most curious about? How to negotiate an arrangement? Fake SD’s or SB’s?

Sugarpendence Day 2010!!!

July 2nd, 2010

Independence day has always resonated with sugars on this blog, spurring discussions about how sugar dating can effect one’s independence. Many sugar babies and sugar daddies have expressed how their independent lifestyle is naturally suited for sugar relationships as opposed to more traditional ones.

How independent are you? Have you ever been in a codependent romantic relationship?

Do you see yourself being happily independent or codependent in your ideal future relationship(s)?

Do you have any fun planned for your 4th of July weekend? Any sugar?
