I’ve heard the feedback from dating site users that there are a few real-life sugar babies anymore, and the majority of girls online just want to get money and never meet. Does it mean that being a sugar daddy is challenging if you have particular needs that women can’t meet? I’m here to show you that it’s more than possible. Being a sugar daddy can be a very positive and drama-free experience if you know how to do it right.
How to Become a Sugar Daddy?
It’s not rocket science. Becoming a sugar daddy takes less than five minutes, as well as visiting a dating site. All you need to do:
- Explore options at reputable sugar dating sites and pick the one you like the most.
- Create an eye-catching profile with a few photos and clear expectations from the sugar dating experience. I want to emphasize the importance of this step, as sugar babies are not just choosing based on the money you can offer.
- Browse the profiles on the site and pick the women you like the most. Approach potential SBs with your offer and negotiate an arrangement.
- Meet for your first date, aka Meet and Greet, to see if the spark you have IRL translates to real life.
- If you both match and are comfortable with each other, you can enjoy being a sugar daddy and spoiling your SB while receiving all the benefits you desire.
It’s so easy to become an SD, as sugar dating is really on trend right now. Many sites do a great job of catering to sugar daters and thus save a ton of time on sugar daddy-sugar baby matching.
Even 10-15 years ago, the process wasn’t that easy, but now you can find a perfect SB and have the fun you want in less than a week. But note that sugar scams have also become more popular, so you need to be extra careful and go only for trustworthy dating services. Better safe than sorry.
How to Be a Sugar Daddy If You Have No Experience?
You don’t need much experience to enjoy sugar dating on your first try. Believe me, it’s easier than it seems. Here are a few things you need to know:
- Check your balance. On average, a sugar daddy earns around $94,000 annually, but money is not the only thing that can make you an SD. Yet it’s quite an important one, as you need to afford a sugar dating lifestyle. But at the same time, though many SBs dream about crazy rich SDs, you need to be willing to help your SB financially. There are different “types” of SB, so to say, and you can find an arrangement that works for you.
- Be clear about what you want. Transparent communication about your wants and needs will save you a lot of time in searching for the right SB. Just be honest. If you joined a niche dating site; you don’t need to pretend that you are looking for someone in a traditional way. Be as straightforward as you want. Most people (and not only online) will appreciate that.
- Don’t settle for the first available, have your standard. A busy lifestyle makes it easy to rush into a relationship that might not be your optimal option. It’s always better to explore the sugar baby bowl in your area and take a little bit of time chatting with a few girls before “committing” to the one. Also, there are no rules that oblige or limit you to having just one SB, you know.
- If something feels off, you don’t owe an explanation—you can just move on to the next SB. Every sugar relationship has its own dynamic, but even in the initial stages of chatting or the first date, if there’s no spark or something just feels wrong, you should walk away. Don’t waste your time on someone who doesn’t bring you the level of pleasure and satisfaction you’re looking for.
Being an SD is a fun experience that allows you to be with a young, beautiful woman without the pressure of commitment or the typical dramas of traditional relationships. Everything in sugar dating is designed for you to enjoy—not stress about.
How to Be a Good Sugar Daddy?
It takes time, and if you want to become a good sugar daddy, it’s about more than just paying on time. Here are a few things you should know if you want to be a great SD and get the best experience out of it:
- Understand the vulnerability of SBs and make sure to build trust before meeting IRL. Meet in public places, take the time to get to know each other, avoid pushing for PDA, and show that you’re genuinely interested in a real, mutually beneficial relationship.
- Be honest and clear about all the details of your sugar arrangement. There is no need to hide your desires. There is an SB out there who will be pleased with all the things you like.
- Be respectful and discuss expectations and boundaries. While being a gentleman is a must in all situations, respecting your woman is key to a positive and lasting arrangement.
- During the first dates, make sure to pay earlier on the date (especially in PPM arrangements). Financial talks and the stress of being scammed put pressure on and often kill the mood.
- Treat your SB right and give her extra perks. SBs generally don’t expect more than you negotiate in your arrangement. But the more you invest in a relationship with a SB, the more you get in her company.
- Build an emotional connection to help the relationship feel less transactional. Many SBs seek not just financial support, but emotional support, guidance, advice, or even mentorship. So, I’d say, listen to your SB and share your experience and wisdom when needed.
No SD is perfect, and you don’t need to aspire to be. Yet, the better you are as an SD, the better the experience you get from the whole arrangement.
How Much Does it Cost to Be a Sugar Daddy?
I’ve already mentioned you don’t need to be super rich to be a sugar daddy.
The average amount that a sugar daddy spends strongly depends on the type of sugar relationship you have, the number of dates per week or month, and any additional expectations.
In a traditional sugar relationship in the US, a sugar baby gets around $3,000-$4,000 in allowance and $400-$500 per date. For smaller cities, both the allowance and PPM can be lower, and surely expect it to be bigger in huge cities. Also, remember that if you want to have a fully exclusive relationship where your SB doesn’t meet any other men or want your SB to spend more than an average of 3-5 hours on a date, be ready to pay extra.
From my experience chatting with tens of active SDs, it’s possible to find an SB having almost any budget (but well, remember that it is usually about at least hundreds of dollars per month). But as it’s luxurious dating, you can’t expect things to be very cheap.
Sugar Daddy Rules
These are 5 main rules of sugar dating for sugar daddies:
- NSA nature of sugar relationship. That’s one of the best sayings about being a sugar daddy: you don’t need to explain any of your other relationships to your SB. It’s easy, honest, and jealousy-free. You are there for each other to enjoy the world.
- Follow the rules of your agreement. First, you need to negotiate a clear arrangement between you and your SB where both parties agree on the type, regularity, compensation, and other nuances of SA. Then, both parties should just stick to the agreement.
- Don’t get too emotionally attached. Not being emotionally invoked doesn’t mean that you can’t care for your SB. I’d say that being in a relationship for some time is unavoidable. However, at the same time, it’s important to keep a distance and not let in jealousy and deeper emotions, as that’s when things get messy.
- Every relationship has an expiration date. Sugar relationships are not meant to be a forever thing. When you feel that it’s time to leave… Do that, politely.
I’d say that sugar dating is not that much about following the rules, but following the agreement you have with your SB. If you do that, you’ll be fine.
