It's weird how something like this is considered so shocking, but yet it's accepted as gospel truth that women won't date men who aren't successful.

That said, I find the entire sugar baby and even dating for money (not that there's really a difference between those two thing) both repulsive. The only thing money-wise that I took into consideration while dating was avoiding people with bad debt or bad credit. Because that **** would end up affecting me, too, if we married.

My husband and I aren't millionaires, but we don't have debt, and we do our best as a team. That's all I want (money-wise).

But it wouldn't be my life. If my daughter was over 18, then she's free to make whatever choice she wants. I'm not going to be her cheerleader about it or go pimping her out like some of these weirdos on this thread, but who am I to make judgments on what she values in a partner?

Of course I'm only 24 and I don't have kids yet, so ask me again in 20 years, lol.

Well I can honestly say that is very shallow of you. I was always into money and made finance my career, now a 31-year-old CFO at a corporation with a daughter of my own. Men aren't as stupid as women think we are. We can honestly tell whether she's in our bed for the Coach purses or because she likes our personality. Sex isn't any fun for us if we can tell by the woman's face that she is thinking "Is it over yet?" for someone to admit that they'd use someone for department store clothes really makes me lose hope in this generation's females. I'm sure that Gucci purse will really matter when you're pushing a Graco stroller into McDonald's at age 22.

thankfully I would say there is a large percentage of sweet, caring girls (such as my wife) that aren't into the money and amount of likes you get () on a Facebook post. Then there is the ultra-hot blonde who can't wait to score another BMW in exchange for giving an executive her "assets". to each their own but whoring yourself out to get Nordstrom clothes is quite pathetic. not to mention, if you do that, you'll be known as the university escort. who knows what kind of diseases those dudes might be carrying

LOL......yeah, your whole idea of things will change in 20 years....evne if you don't have kids......but ifyou do....you will make judgements....you might keep your mouth shut about most of them when they get that age (which is smart but damn hard)....but when sugar daddy gets controlling and doesn't let his bought and paid for 'consort' visit or have much contact...when your child gets a little too old and is left high and dry because 'daddy' can buy a new one......than yeah.....you are gonna speak up.....or at least you should....and hopefully be there to support them.

I would be really upset if my daughters did this. My goal as a parent has always been to raise daughters who have self respect/self esteem, who are accomplished, educated, kind, considerate, empathetic human beings who have zero need for financial dependence on anyone but themselves. If they took a path towards using someone for money well... I'd know I'd failed them. Epic fail on my part and poor judgement on theirs.
