I don't see how it isn't straight up on these sugardaddy sites. I have seen some profiles that made me think, WOW, no shame in her game. They will flat out tell you EXACTLY what they want.

If you want to know the truth about these sites, I'll tell you. I was on a couple of them.

1) There are actual prostitutes and johns there trying to skirt around the law.

2) There are golddiggers.

3) There are women (like me) who prefer a successful/financially stable man and want a real relationship with real chemistry, affection.......all the bells and whistles.

4) There are men who feel this is the only way they can find a woman.

5) There are men who don't want a full-blown relationship and feel the money will make up for the lack of committment.

6) There are married men looking for a mistress, again, the money making up for the lack of a future/commitment.

7) There are men who want to share their fortune and their lives with someone.

8) There are women who really just want someone to treat them to dinner and a movie. No allowance, no bill paying or any support whatsoever.

9) There are men who are just looking to take a woman out, wine them and dine them. No allowance, bill paying or any support whatsoever.

10) There are men who SAY they'll give you an allowance, but are really just looking for free hoo-hoo.

Those of you who call it sheer prostitution really know nothing about these relationships, in addition to the statement being patently false. There are all kinds. In addition, money and love are not mutually exclusive. There are too many women out there who are happy to date beneath their tax bracket. It could be said that they're settling, but if that's what they want, that's their deal.

Not necessarily. If it's a single-parent household because the father went to jail for being violent to his children, the children's subsequent propensity for violence likely stems from having been abused by him -- and certainly not from his absence.

Oh I see.

But the fact remains that 90% of men who are incarcerated come from broken homes. And mind you, incarcerated could mean being in jail for a NON violent offense.

University tracked a sample of 6,000 males aged 14-22 from 1979-93.
They found that those boys whose fathers were absent from the
household had double the odds of being incarcerated -

Money/resources has always been a big part in relationships. Around the Great Depression is when dating and marriage started to became about "love" and not about being a provider. Look at the history and role of marriage prior to that. And what is one of the top reasons for divorce? Financial issues.

I have no problems with the sites. If both parties are happy and are safe, more power to them. It's no one else business.

And I totally understand why regular women don't like strippers/prostitutes. You don't like them because they lower the market value for sex.
Just pointing out that when people advocate legalizing prostitution or talk about what a noble and honest profession it is, these are the women they are talking about. That's the reason I don't like prostitution.

This group will sort itself very quickly and effectively to reveal the women who are motivated by money, if that's the kind of woman he wants.

He's not on a stupid website shifting through fake pics and stat lies. He's not taking out 10 losers (lied about pic, lied about distance, no chemistry, etc) for coffee dates.

These websites exist to extract money from gold digger wannabes who aren't smart enough to realize they are getting ripped off. And men masquerading as being rich, all so they can get a lot of easy sex from dumb but attractive women.
Very true.
I often have young guys who I work with ask me “You have a life time of experience tell what I need to do to get this particular,hot girl”?
I always answer the same way “buy yourself a $ 50,000 watch”.
They always answer “but I cant afford that!”
My answer is “ That's not my problem!”

What you really have to look out for is the “Clever gold-diggers” masquerading as “dumb but attractive women”.

DomainTypeTTLAnswer gold-diggers.com.NS172800ns.buydomains.com. gold-diggers.com.NS172800this-domain-for-sale.com. gold-diggers.com.A360064.95.64.197

Now that this is a thread of catch-all topics, I'll sum it all up. As the computer in the 80s movie Wargames said at the end of the movie, when it ran nuclear war scenarios and found out neither side could win the war:

"What a strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess."
