Would you ever be a sugar baby?

[sweetsweepgirl]

Why or why not?

[skrogman]

No, and my reason is self-respect.

[KSimonetti92]

No.
I respect myself as an individual and am confident in my ability to provide for myself without handouts. To mooch off of someone is lowly.

That is a tough call but because I am somewhat independent I would probably decline unless I was truly in love with the person taking care of me.  Even something as simple and mundane as Fusion Cash provides a chance at success which might be frowned upon by someone who was taking care of my every need.  I always like to have several things going at once and getting acknowledged for my own success without the help from another person gives me a lot of pride.  My spouse makes a good sum of money but we aim to take care of all of our children's needs which is no small feat.  There is no 'I' or 'Me' in our conquests...we succeed together.

Hard to say. I never have been before, I have always been the one to "take care of" the other person and it has always come back to bite me later.

I have to say no.  That is because I have heard of horror stories related to being "someone's sugar baby".  I do know this; my late brother in-law didn't like me because there was a young lady he enamored that was using him.  I was dating his brother, now my husband.  He would get his check and it would disappear literally.  I recall that he got up, went with my cousin, the girl, and another person on check day.  When he came home, he was sloppy drunk, fell out of the bed, and my cousin tried to get my husband to come in the room so they would have a scapegoat.  I asked him why he was going in there when they are trying to have someone to pin it on, so he stayed in the room with me.  The next day, I heard that my brother in-law was accusing my husband and me of taking his money.  I got pissed, and rightly so.  I told them I had better things to do than to be taking money from him because, if I needed money, all I had to do was ask for it.  I know my cousin was there and the girl was too.  When my sisters in-law got involved in this mess, they threatened the girl.  The girl lied and said my husband and I did it to cover her butt.  I was mad about it because, if you are stealing money from a 60 year-old man, why would you talk about his performance in bed when you had his nose open to the point he would have given up his entire check to you.  I know she was his sugar baby because she would come by, get money from him and leave with a younger man.  I tell you, you lose your self-respect in doing this.

I would let a man I'm in a relationship take care of me but I wouldn't get with a guy for the sole reason of that he has money and would buy me things

I am a realist I don't live in a fantasy world. I don't want to be a prostitute that is what a sugar baby is. If you are married you have a mutual agreement and a responsibility to your mate. This is not that type of situation. This is exploitation. You are tied to someone by money, it's not worth it. Get a second job and keep your freedom and your self respect.

Too funny of a question.
DEFINE SUGAR BABY?

[sweetsweepgirl]

Interesting responses. I like reading them all.  I always like the opposing answers because often the same reason they would not enter this lifestyle is the same reason I did. Self respect. Men are ok but for me, their company alone is not compelling enough to spend time with them. I wouldn't respect myself if I spend time with them for free, but I don't project my line of thought on to other women.

I will say, there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the sugar baby lifestyle. For the life of me I will never understand how these men garner so much sympathy. They're not being exploited. They know precisely what they're getting into, especially with me as I'm so blunt. I have a job. I wear several hats actually. I'm not "mooching" off of anyone. A moocher goes against the original agreement. In a sugar relationship, dating in exchange for being spoiled IS the agreement. Understand the difference?

A lot of people wonder what attracts me to this admittedly unusual path, but honestly it feels natural for me. I am obsessed with both spending and saving money. That's why I'm here and a bunch of other sites. That's why I enter sweeps and contests daily. That's why I extreme coupon. That's why I do many of the things I do. Some people say money can't buy happiness but I find that to be untrue. The things that make me happy travel, furthering my education, providing for my family, and so on all require money.

DEFINE SUGAR BABY?

Yes I want to hear it also.

[kleenex40]

NO!I have alot of self respect for myself

[vickysue]

No way. I am too indepenent. Even now as a married woman i still do things my way. I have my own money even though everything now goes into the same pot. I buy, or do what i want. That does not mean i go to bars and or otherwise spend money on something that would hurt our marriage. But i earned everybit of it.
