Tap forward to learn about my life with sugar daddies.

Sugar babies have an emotional connection to their sugar daddies, making it a less straightforward exchange.

I was so naive — I thought sugar daddies were older, but handsome and wealthy. I had been talking with this guy, and I was shocked when he sent me a photo. I told him I wasn’t interested, and then he got angry.

I went on dates with a lot of the men who didn’t want to give a monthly allowance. They basically want to give you money when you see them, but on a continuous basis. I wanted a sugar daddy who was like a boyfriend.

I probably have gotten at least $100,000 within four years. This past year alone, I got at least $40,000 or so.

They feel as though they don’t have to give you money or gifts because they’re more desirable that the older men on the sites.

It was a website, maybe SugarDaddyForMe.com. He was younger than the first man, maybe in his late 30s, and he was a lot of fun. He was very handsome. Our arrangement lasted two years.

I would ask him for money for specific things like my nails, my hair, shopping, my phone bill, and he wouldn’t want to give me money. I’d say, 'We met on a sugar daddy site. You’re supposed to give me money.' He probably gave me $500 every time I saw him.

It made me upset, actually, despite knowing he was married. Nothing made him satisfied. Not his wife, not me. I overanalyzed it a lot. What can you do, though? You just have to focus on the money aspect of it.

I met him on MissTravel.com, which was a site that’s for traveling together. He lived in Florida and we Skyped a few times. Our first meeting was in a penthouse suite. He gave me $1,200. I went to bed, and he was gone when I woke up in the morning.

Sugar daddies get to a point where they feel like we’re so deep into a relationship they shouldn’t have to give me money anymore, but I think the opposite. If you care about me, you’d want to take care of me.

Rinsers are girls who give men the expectation that they’re going to sleep with them, get everything they can out of the guys, and ghost them. I never do it, because it’s almost like scamming.

I just swiped right on older men. I swiped right on this doctor without having sugar expectations. But he kept telling me that he wanted to take care of me, and I was like, “Does he want a sugar relationship?”

After five dates, when he asked me to be monogamous with him, I asked him to give me an allowance. The first month I asked him for $5,000. We ended up being together for a year. He would just give me an envelope of money every month.

He was cheating on me. He basically wanted me to be his girlfriend and still take care of me, but I had to let him see other people. It was such a betrayal to me. That was my last sugar relationship.

I date regularly now. I don’t expect them to fully finance my life. I think for the sake of your mental health, you shouldn’t depend on someone financially and emotionally, so when things end, you’re not losing so much.
