If they were out "living their lives" then they would naturally meet women and create some semi-meaningful relationships most likely. These guys are not going to be the ones out enjoying life and the ones who try generally fail miserably.
Oh I agree that is the case the majority of the time but the OP's friends clearly are not after that particular type of sugar daddy.

I hate to break it to you, but there isn't a whole lot of variance in the sugar daddy types. Guys who actually have developed social skills don't need to use their money to get laid. Hell, they don't even need to have money for themselves.

Then they would do like me and countless other men have done...go out and find women who want the same thing and enjoy it. I'm just a few months shy of being 26 and have pulled more than my fair share of tail over the years, and I'm in college with barely enough money to live reasonably comfortably and come from a blue collar family. Granted I am pretty ****ing awesome, decently attractive and have really good social skills, but there are guys in far worse financial situations who do as good or better than me. My legitimate girlfriends not withstanding, I have never spent any money on women outside of drinks and maybe the occasional dinner.

I didn't bother reading all of the thread.

If I weren't feeling so lazy right now I'd do a search and re quote a few posters here (for obvious hypoc---err research reasons). A lot of the comments don't surprise me at all, it's like watching a bad after school special in a feedback loop...the saga of modern hypergamy continues (cue tampax ad here).

Women who entertain the thought of a sugar daddy aren't relationship material. That's why at the end of the day they settle for less than stellar results along with their 100 point bullet list (and that room full of cats).

Bosco is on point with his assessment, there's lots of simps out there who feel they have to pay for something that's quite easy to get for free. The sad thing is that there's an equal amount of socially inept men as there are women. The ratio is skewed a bit in this field because there's a higher percentage of women can coast off of their looks until they hit around 30. Once a woman start's to hit that over the hill range, that's when you can really gauge her personality (or lack thereof).

When men pay for dinner, gifts, accessories, it's no different than when they have to pay for child support, divorce fee's, alimony...(it's prostitution either way you look at it).

The ironic thing is that if you were to put a man in the position of a woman in this case, there would be a wave of shaming. If a man wrote this, this thread would have either been locked or deleted upon it's creation (classic example).

I think these three words sum everything up best:

spin hamster, spin.

Sounds like the perfect match-up for 2 very superficial people... one
figures the money will attract the partner while the other figures their
looks will attract the partner.

Ahh, but the woman who are going after these sugar daddies are NOT attracted to the man. They are attracted to the status and material things.



This is so off base I don't even know how to respond to it.
I have never looked for a "sugar daddy". I have never needed (or asked) a man to pay my bills, etc. I have never asked a man for money. But I have dated and been in relationships with men who loved to be generous (gifts, travel, etc)

So am I a "gold digger" because I expect the men in my life to be generous? Or if I require the men that I date to be as (or more) successful
than I am? I just do not see the point for women to date "down".

Again, there is a HUGE difference between having a legitimate relationship with someone who desires to be generous and being in a mutually exploitative relationship. This is a very simple concept, so the fact that I have to explain it speaks volumes.

Depends on what you mean by "generous" and how often you reciprocate.

I'd say that's pretty normal behavior for a woman from L.A.

Had offers lo those many years ago, turned them all down.

See, there was no Internet back then, or I could have beaten Washingtonienne to it.

(Yes, I'm kidding.)

There are a lot of young women with low self esteem who will do anything for male attention (even if it is from the most unsavory specimens)
