Would you be a “Sugar Baby” ?

By britexpat

I’d heard of Sugar Daddies, but didn’t realise that Sugar babies are all the rage.

Perhaps there is hope for Timebandit and Me :O)

Tommy , 63 and Monte, 21, have been 'sugar dating' for two years during which time he has paid for her college tuition and bought her expensive clothes, while she has provided him with company and sexual favours.

After finding Monte on SeekingArrangement.com, Tommy now spends about $5,000 a month on her alone. In an interview with ABC, he compared walking into a room with Monte to pulling up in a really nice car.

For her part, the young student sees an unmissable opportunity to finish college debt-free while being treated to all the perks a girls loves such as free clothes and of course, a breast enhancement. Plus, she said, with Tommy's life experience and social smarts, she is fast becoming a more sophisticated and worldly woman than before she met him.

'It is what it is,' responded Monte. 'We all mature and I know I'm gonna be old one day and I hope I get lovin' too.'

'I've got my rent paid, I just got some brand new boobs... Life's great!'

For 24-year-old Olympia, who has been 'sugar dating' since she was 19. 'I've got my rent paid for up to a year,' she gushed. 'All the cars I've had, have been paid for by sugar daddies. I've gotten to go to the Caribbean.

'I've gotten to travel all across the nation. I just got some brand new boobs. Life's great.'

I didn't limit it to the Lebanese. I said let me tell that to my Lebanese neighbour who is living in a small 2 bedroom with his wife, two daughters and a maid and drives a VW and a BMW. He is most certainly not living within his means.

Neither are all the Qatari's who's debts are forgiven by the Emir every couple of years.

Neither are all the Indians who commit suicide over debt.

So I'm really not sure where you think Indians and Arabs are living within their means.

By Prism• 25 Jun 2012 08:23

Moza... Who started the oddity: “the Indians and Arabs pay the money in advance for the sex”? Why blame me now.

@ MM....why would you say “Indians and Arabs live within their means ROFLING” and then limit it to Lebanese? BTW why not, I am an Indian and live within my means and my Qatari colleague at work also is the same.

BRIFFAULT’S LAW:

The female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place.

----------------

sugar daddy / baby - this arrangement is not very different from marriage (except, you can walk out of it anytime).

marriage gave men some assurance that the children they were raising were their own and women some assurance that their husband would not leave them all destitute.

-----------

mozaismyhero - "Indians pay dowries to the men, Gulf Arabs have to pay it to the women.....

The answer is women cost money whatever culture you are in."

yes, and western men pay child support and alimony.

Personally I would never do it now, of course,because of my religious views and experiences, but years ago as a misguided and immature teen, who knows?

Women the world over do get married for various reasons. And some of them still do get married with financial security in mind. And I cannot say this is always a bad thing. I myself listed financial stability among other criterion when I chose a partner. And I had my reasons for this, and some people did perceive me then to be a bit of a gold digger though when I did explain to them my viewpoint they agreed!

IMO as long as the people in question are not hurting anybody, I would rather not try to play judge in this situation because frankly it's just one of those live and let live moments in life that calls for other people to just mind their own beeswax!

To be honest Brit, who cares. I'm not doing it and if they are both happy with the arrangement then let them get on with it. I think the only time to draw the line is if someone is forced into marriage becauase of a family arrangement.

I think this was happening long before the 21st Century. Do you honestly think a fat ginger with a seeping smelly leg wound managed 6 wives and hundreds of mistresses because he was sexy? (Talking about Henry the VIII)

Not to mention all the other rich and powerful men (and women) throughout history.

I would say this kind of relationship is as old as you can get.

When they see rich girls in college wearing expense clothes and shoes they get attracted to thier lifestyle and these try to act like them.. for that they do anything..

uniforms should be made mandatory in college...:)

I know this because, we used to have these poor girls(financially backward community) who come to our college with govt financial Aid..the money they get as stipend is just enough for their minimum requirements...they didn’t have good clothes or accessories like other girls….there was a nearby beauty parlor.. The lady there used to lure them to go out with men for one latest fashion dress or shoes..and finally …some of us took initiate to bring it to the attention of the college management and that beauty saloon was closed down..
