Have you ever been in a ''sugardaddy/sugarbabe'' type relationship?

    And no, Im not bieng sarcastic. (Though this bieng AH im probably opening myself up for a waterfall of it) ;) With the advent of le recession and losing our disposable incomes to splurge, how important is financal stability for you when looking for love?

    Have you ever been in a relationship with another half who spoiled you rotten with gifts, cash and nice things? What was the compromise you had to give back in return, or was it all handed to you on a silver platter without strings attached in return for companionship? Do you regret it now or would you do it all over again?

    I think its moraly bereft in the long run tbh. You might get some nice things and some material gratification but if the mastercard max's out and your left high and dry when your man/woman leaves you penniless, would the fur coat look just as good then as when you bought it?

    I haven't officially, but I have had a guy buy me drinks on nights out, pay for taxi's home. I never, ever asked for anything off him and never did anything durty in return for them. I actually told him off for it a few times

    No, but I like it when the women touch my sugardaddy. HI-OH


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,382 ✭✭✭Poor Craythur


    No, I haven't and wouldn't, I'd feel like a whore.

    I have two female acquaintances in my circle who want rich husbands. Problem is, if you want that, you need to bring the beauty. Hmmm.

    Interestingly, I have two male cousins who have ALWAYS chased money so it's not just the wimminz these days.

    I'm sorry but is this not essentially a euphemism for prostitution?!

    No. Probably because everyone is poor now. :pac:

    I'd feel pretty crappy sponging from someone. At the moment I'm absolutely flat broke doing a Masters and my boyfriend has a fairly decent job and I can't stand the disparity in our situations. He's really generous in general, and especially to me, and I feel awful that I don't have the means to be generous back. If he does treat me - e.g., cinema tickets, things like that - I can't even enjoy it because I feel wretched that I can't do that like I'd like to.

    So I don't see how anyone could be happy treating their partner like an ATM. Even if they have pots of money. It must be soul-destroying to rely on handouts, no matter how generous, no matter how willingly bestowed.

    Cheaper to rent a whore for the night.

    Awwhh, there there Silver, not all generosity needs to involve money you know, you can be nice back in so many ways, ahem, it sucks when you don't have the same income.

    Ah there's no reason to not enjoy the things he does for you. I'm sure he enjoys doing it, eat it up!


    And oh trust me, the women who do that stuff enjoy it very much. They're players. They want money, and they get it. And who knows, maybe they realize one day they're unhappy about the situation... but I've known a few and they seemed to be having a wonderful time of it. They look at it like a transaction. Rich guy gets a hot babe, and hot babe gets the lifestyle she wants. It's a step away from outright prostitution but all the parties involved seem to be happy about it so I don't know how it could be considered a problem.

    To be fair, what you're talking about is gold-digging - big difference between that and seeking financial stability for a long-term relationship. The only thing that would turn me personally off would be him not bothering to get a job, but in fairness, I very much doubt there are many people like that...

    No.

    Not yet.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,104 ✭✭✭easyeason3


    My fiance is only a couple of years older than me so I don't think he's in the sugardaddy category.

    He is however very generous. He may not be romantic but he's very decent when it comes to paying for meals out, a surprise holiday etc.

    I do know a girl that won't consider anyone who isn't extremely wealthy. They could be an absolute pr!ck but if the pockets are deep enough she's game enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,080 ✭✭✭✭Big Nasty


    I know a dude who has a fairly decent salary paid for a boob job for his girlfriend. She was already attractive but the enhancement made her incredibly hot (well I thought so anyways). I wasn't alone in my thoughts as she suddenly was getting lots more attention and a few months later dumped my friend for an ugly lookin' fcuk with shedloads of moola!

    Moral of story = boob job ain't always money well spent.

    I'll just leave that there.

    May I ask, why would you let an older man pay for these things for you, only for you to tell him off several times. I think it's quite clear what his intentions are.

    I've always said that I'd love to be in that kind of relationship. My bf knows this and always said "your love's for sale and I want it", don't know if that's a good or a bad thing!

    It mean's he thinks your easy and can be bought (kind of like a prostitute).

    Up to you if you think that's good or bad :pac:
