We don’t know everyone’s situation, maybe they don’t have anyone with whom talk about makeup and hair, maybe they want to learn, some people likes makeup and some others don’t and it is okay.

If you are a man on a dating app in the near future, allow me to inform you that C) the emotionally thoughtful, lengthy paragraph introduction is not always the best option. I’d rather get a B (“hi what’s up”) than be introduced to a man who needs to tell me his life story and everything else that led him to open OK

I really think you’re stuck on the idea that men do all the initial legwork. That just doesn’t hold true in my lived experience. I, for instance, literally networked among friends to meet my husband. He was at home gaming, feeling vaguely sad he hadn’t met anyone. Real life. I cannot think of many men who actually ask

I found it interesting and I’m glad that these women have found a comfortable way of living/being in a relationship/making money, but this is all just so incredibly sad.

Admission: I tried SA for a while when I was panicking about being unemployed and figured, hey, I’m a really progressive kind of woman, I have notches under my belt, I bet I could basically do this dating for money thing. Here’s my personal experience. It of course might not reflect others’.

As the mother of teenage girls, I can tell you that “beauty” anything is generally going to get their attention and interest. My future doctor/scientist is also crazy about make up and fashion. She taught herself to do a full face of makeup from youtube.

I don’t think that’s a bad thing. My husband started with negative dollars, but his career has done better than mine and both our lives profited. That’s what happens when you fall in love. In this case, both parties are being up front about what they can offer. When I was young and painfully broke, less broke dudes I

Ask a generous and trusted female friend to let you read some of her dating app messages and you will quickly see that most men do virtually no emotional labor. That’s why women are talking about this.

I use traditional dating apps. But, I’m seeking a traditional relationship. I just want to say, in the past eight months I’ve been on three lifetime destination trips, received $1000 shoes, jewelry, throw in a few fancy weekend trips as well as the big trips, and I’ve been offered some seed money for my advertising.

Um, what relationship isn’t transactional? I’m only being partially flippant. Many a long-term pairing has a financial component. Shit, my relationship with my newborn is transactional. I provide food and comfort, and get snuggles and heart-stopping smiles in return.

I feel like this would be fun but would have unintended long term consequences I couldn’t foresee. I thought about doing this but when I looked on various sites, they were full of guys wanting group sex or “open relationships” or old dudes you couldn’t pay me enough to pretend to be attracted to. Like a lot of women

Oh man, in a universe not too different from this one I would totally be a sugar mommy if I had the money.

This touches on so much of my own baggage. Like, it still takes a crapton of cash to look like the girl next door for most of us, ya know. We’re supposed to strive for the effortlessly beautiful vibe. Just the right amount of attractive. But, unless you are extremely genetically gifted, it costs a lot of money to get

Then, by this logic, every stay at home wife in the world is a sex worker.

I went through an excruciating break up last year with my long term boyfriend and had completely given up on the idea of dating/love. It sincerely exhausted me. After hearing some acquaintances stories about their SD’s I was intrigued. Extra $$, travel & a business mentor sounded excellent.

I have NO beef with this concept. We have a list of needs to be met, and we want someone to meet those needs. Knowing yourself well enough to define what that should look like is fine.

Totally agree, and that’s likely why I would consider it, but ultimately never do it. My concerns are safety, and also now being beholden to someone else’s time and expectations.

Here are the things that stuck out to me about this article:

The podcast “Death, Sex, Money” just yesterday published an episode about a woman who is a Sugar Baby to cover her college loans, and no lie...I’m kinda thinking about it...
