Is It Just About The Money?
Many young girls who date older men are labeled gold diggers. Other people just can’t imagine that there would be any real attraction to someone old enough to be their father, so they assume that sugar babes are all about the money. While that’s true in some cases, most sugar babes are genuinely attracted to their sugar daddies. The money is a perk, nothing else.
The gifts that sugar daddies give their girls may be extravagant, but really, it’s much the same as when a younger man brings flowers to his girlfriend to show her his affection. There is a monetary difference, but the feeling behind it is the same. Sugar daddies want their girls to feel special and loved and they often show that by lavishing them with jewelry and other elegant gifts.
You can tell by the attitude of the sugar babe if she really is after just money. If that’s the case, she will be asking for more and more expensive items and demanding that her sugar daddy give her things like diamonds, cars, etc. Most sugar babes are just thrilled to be treated like queens and will be happy with any gift their man offers them, a sure sign that she’s not a gold digger.
Another common thought is that sugar daddy relationships are basically the man paying for favors from a young lady. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sugar daddies offer gifts to their sugar babes because they appreciate them and want to show their affection, not because they expect something in return.
There are many reasons a young woman would date an older man. These include the need for support and a mature relationship. Sugar daddies often have a better understanding of relationships and are willing to make one work. They will try a little harder than the average twenty-something who figures he is missing out by sticking with one woman. In the majority of cases, money isn’t even a factor when a girl chooses her sugar daddy. She’s looking for someone who attracts her, for whatever reason, not just the man with the fattest wallet.
That being said, finances can definitely figure into a relationship, however. While a man’s bank account may not be the deciding factor for a young lady, she does want a sugar daddy who is secure and that often means having the funds to support himself and a future family. So, to say that money isn’t important in a sugar daddy relationship would be false. It is definitely an important part, but not the only thing that matters.
Money is not the driving factor in the overwhelming majority of sugar daddy relationships. Gifts and trips are just perks, nothing more, signs of affection from a man enamored with his girl. Those who think differently have obviously never been in a true relationship of this type.

Ive dated a few wealthy guys and my feeling is there has to be more than money to keep the relationship alive. Its nice to be treated well and with respect as well as being spoilt by money.

Wealthy men can play the attraction game as well as anyone. However, too many never learned and they use their wealth as a substitute, a poor substitute at that.

I’ve dated a couple of older men and they have all had 2 things in common: wealthy and handsome. A man that is just wealthy may keep my attention for a little while, but there has to be real chemistry and attraction… With a couple of the men I’ve dated, I can honestly say that I loved them (and not just for their money).
