Seeking Arrangement: College Students Using 'Sugar Daddies'

Post Reply New Topic

Why does it matter if people do this? It's two consenting adults. It doesn't affect you. Unless you're sour grapes that they don't want you instead.

You have a point. Honestly both parties are happy, so it seems like a win win arrangement.

I would never date the Wall Street type independent of age, salary, looks, etc. They are just too high stress, high energy, overly competitive, and generally intense.
Ahhh, headache just thinking about it.

I agree, in part, with that assessment. The fact that most people interested in teaching seem to be women has changed the school system. Stuff like group work and essays is just not really very good for boys. We're better at "normal" learning.

But, still, based on my experiences at university and high school, girls are generally simply better students. They are more serious and easier to work together with because they plan better. It might be that this is only true in the Netherlands or even only true in my university, but it's still something I've observed.

All these women would do is turn their emotional side off. It's just business and must stay that way.

I can see the less emotionally-tough ones becoming unstuck, mind.

I think I can sum up all the this OP's posts by saying:

IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD, WOMEN WALK AROUND FREELY WITH VAGINAS! ISN'T THAT AWFUL!

All romantic relationships are "just business", even traditional (non-sugar daddy) ones. The difference is that instead of paying in cash and lavish outings, the guy/man pays in romance. This refers to things like compliments, gifts, candlelit dinners, thoughtful acts, etc. He, in turn, collects the sex and other pleasurable physical acts. "But it's more than that!", you might say. How so? If the girl never had sex with him, would the guy (unless he's asexual) still date her? If the guy never did anything romantic, would the girl date him? 'Nuff said.

Long story short, all romantic relationships are just a business arrangement, only instead of paying in cash like sugar daddies, the guy/man pays in romance.

Having children is a business arrangement, too. Having brothers and sisters is a business arrangement. Having a dog is a business arrangement. Breathing is a business arrangement. Taking a poop is a business arrangement. A business arrangement is a business arrangement.

The only things that a monogamous mutually equitable emotional relationship between two consenting adults has in common with an emotionless relationship with financial and physical terms outlined clearly between two consenting adults is that they both involve two consenting adults that they both are a matter of two people meeting each other's needs. When you consider the meeting of each other's needs to be the only qualification for what makes a business arrangement, you've just classified every relationship and interaction on earth as a business arrangement except in rare cases where one individual receives no benefit (not even the satisfaction of sacrificing for another) from the interaction.

So let's not get carried away.

And, by the way, the parade that I deserve for not tearing Aspie1 a new one for degrading all women into whores starts a mile down the road over there and commences at noon. Thank you.

I would like to be on one end of the banner, carrying, please.

I think Aspie1 made a great point that all relationships are business relationships in a way so I fail to comprehend why the one mentioned in this thread is considered taboo for being an obvious business arrangement. As long as it works for both the people involved; that's what counts. Society is to damned judgmental, intolerant & closed-minded sometimes

The flaw in Aspie1's post is that he took off on a tangent about romantic relationships being nothing more than women demanding romance and gifts as payment for sex. If you feel that is logical, allow me to present some additional mind-teasers for you:

A romantic relationship is a banana. There's stuff we see on the outside and there's stuff on the inside. It grows. And people can have them. All romantic relationships are bananas.

A romantic relationship is a television. We watch what's on it and it can be turned off and on. We can love it or become bored with it. All romantic relationships are televisions.

You can't do this and call it rational.

This post makes me want to have a relationship. Anything which is both a banana and a television must be awesome.

Oh come on.... Don't tell me you guidos don't strutt yourself for those old rich moguls.





Those sunglasses, sun tans, hair styles, eye brow waxings, clothes and bling-bling got to be like what? 10 grand or more?


And I bet they get a papa john's for free. Shameful.

Don't forget that bananas and televisions are business arrangements.

You completely missed the point of why I posted the article...

Is it that it's awful for guys because they waste their hard earned money on women due to feeling a strong urge to have sex What was the point of this

(sigh) This is to be expected, especially in our economic times. Even when the economy is strong, there will always be those who will sell their bodies for money. Prostitution (which is basically what 'Sugar daddies and babies' is) is one of the oldest 'professions' in human history, due to societal gender constructs. To me, though, this is just yet another way that the rich exploit the poor. College education is not entirely covered by the government, so people have to pay for it with grants, loans, etc. Lots of people can't even afford to go to college and thus repeat a generational cycle of having lousy jobs and remaining poor. Most who can have some form of debt, some larger then others depending on their family's prior economic status, what school they go to, and other factors. Even if one obtains a degree, it does not grantee a job, hence 'Sugar Babies'. Meanwhile, the rich 'Sugar Daddies' sit around in luxury and can afford the girls' 'services'. I could go on and on about why capitalism is evil and corrupt, but so is this 'Sugar Babies' business. I can understand a girl's reasons for wanting/needing to do this, but at the same time, I don't sympathesize. During the 'transaction', she is not only selling her body, but her human dignity as well and I hold such individuals in low regard. This wouldn't be an issue if college were free or at least reduced in cost where is was affordable to the common man (or woman in this case) but that's not going to happen. This is just another sad and pathetic aspect of American society.
