A 29-year-old woman met her 60-year-old sugar daddy on a website dedicated to these arrangements; that is, pairing up pretty young women with successful older men.
She first decided to sign up for the website after getting out of a relationship with someone who was her own age.
She felt that she had an embarrassing amount of boyfriends all throughout her twenties, yet three of the men she wound up dating she stayed with for three whole years.
Anyway, she has a wonderful career and spent a lot of her 20s pursuing various degrees, including one graduate degree, but although she’s highly educated it’s hard to afford to live well where she is in California.
Between paying the state tax and the federal tax, close to half of her whole paycheck goes just towards taxes.
“Inflation coupled with the housing market bubble- I could very well be homeless in 3-6 years,” she explained.
“My career/education falls within a very specialized and competitive scientific discipline. Not many people do what I do and people in my profession make the least among the natural sciences.”
“So I pursued the “Sugar Baby” lifestyle because I wanted to experience dating an older, successful man while also receiving some much-needed financial help.”
She was only on the website for about a week before she found her current Sugar Daddy, who she thinks is pretty much her soulmate.

He ticks off all the boxes of what she wants in a man and then some.
He’s obviously successful, he’s intelligent, and, well, she’s attracted to him despite the fact that he’s 31 years older than her and basically the same age as her dad.
Not only is she attracted to him, but she’s also beginning to fall in love with him. He makes her feel special and wanted, and he can provide the stability she craves.
He is extremely fit and looks to be about a decade younger than he actually is. She does not think her family will approve of the relationship at all if she moves forward with it though, and her dad will especially be upset by them being together.
“He told me that he was falling for me first,” she continued. “He’s been married three times before with no kids and I don’t want to get married or have kids so it seems right and sensible to us.”
The relationship she most recently had before she decided to explore the sugar daddy website ended over the fact that she does not want children, so clearly that wouldn’t be a dealbreaker here.
She feels as if all the men that have been in her life have simply let her down, and he doesn’t.
His money isn’t want makes him attractive to her, and she would be more than happy to sign a prenup if their relationship progressed past a standard sugar daddy and baby arrangement.
