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.
Comment by Garry on 18 February 2008:
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.
Comment by Allie on 19 May 2008:
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).

I have been a Sugar Daddy for about 3 years. Within in the last 3 months this Sweetie is working me and working me. She is getting more and more money and the worst is she is not seeing me. I give more and more in hopes of seeing her but have not been successful. I keep giving because I think it cheaper than starting over. Everytime I stop giving, I get the hell kicked out of me via texts. But, now and hopefully now I am at the end of my rope and can muster up the strenght to stop the relationship.
Any Advise ????

Dear Mr.C,
I’m sorry to hear that you sugar babe is treating you badly. I would never treat a sugar daddy that way if I had one. I would rather have the company of a best friend instead of someone that just wanted something more. Break things off with her, a girl thats just after the money is no good sometimes. There has to be a give and take at all times and if she is being greedy then you need to cute her off and find a new baby girl.

Being a sugar baby,is definitely not all about the money. Its just an added benefit. I was in a relationship with an older, wealthy doctor. He would send and buy me a ton of things. I loved it, but I ended it for I wanted to spend more time with him. We are still good friends. I’m a full time college student with a part time job. I’m attractive and having a sugar daddy is not about being a gold digger, its just a smart move emotionally and financially.

Mr. C. - I know it is really unbelievably difficult to cut the cord when you find someone who meets so many of your needs. It is not just the financial cost - it is the emotional cost. I had a younger girl that I would done about anything for, and she started back up with her ex - a guy who emotionaly abused her before and was bound to do it again. We had four great years together, but then in the 5th year, she went back to him secretly - she thought - but I knew. She lied to me when she got back with him because she did not want me to criticize her decision. After the lies got worse and worse, we finally had it out. I felt awful. But eventually I got over it and moved on - I wish her the best, but she is so foolish. Mr. C, there are a lot of girls out there. A whole lot. And many of them are being mistreated and many of them need someone to care for them. The smarter girls have figured out that the guy they need may not be a handsome stud, and maybe they know they could just use some emotional and financial support while they ‘find themselves’ and while that is going on, they might be really glad to spend time with you. Or maybe they reset their goals and find stability and a loving man more important than being with the super-stud who looks like Brad Pitt. I suggest you forget the girl that is working you - and do not expect it to be an easy thing to do. I know. It is an awful thing to have to do. I put up with that for about 8 months before I finally had all I could take. And between you and me - I still love her anyway. Oh, well.

Maybe in time she will meet you. I wish I was this lady. She is a very lucky woman.
Comment by Paula on 18 June 2009:
OMG! I sure am feeling sorry for you dishing out this money to someone who is treating you this way. Please stop the relationship….well by now you probably have and if so, good for you. No one deserves to be treated that way. Obviously she is only with you for your money. Move on and find someone who will respect and care about you more then that.

Comment by Sugar daddy dater on 16 July 2010:
It’s really true that some are just after the money. But there are some young woman that are sincere with their feelings with their sugar daddies. It is just a coincidence that there partner is rich rather than the moderate guy.
