Sugar Daddy in the Society
Already a huge success in North America, dating websites which allow rich men to meet attractive younger women are now becoming more popular in Europe. The idea of a sugar daddy being able to make contact with a 'sugar baby' has been criticized in some quarters, but all that these sites are doing is bringing together consenting adults who wish to start a mutually satisfying relationship.
Love, Money and Sexy, Beautiful People
To be eligible to join such a dating site, the men must be very wealthy. Typically, they are middle-aged men who have been very successful in business or a profession such as the law. With little time available to get involved in a traditional kind of relationship, they simply want to meet and enjoy the company of an attractive younger woman, and they are prepared to provide them with lavish presents, meals in expensive restaurants and even holidays in far-flung destinations. Essentially, sugar daddies are just looking for uncomplicated and pleasurable relationships with attractive women. They don't want to have to commit themselves to anything more than that.
For the women who sign up for sites such as Sugar-daddy.ca, there are some real benefits. They might be tired of dating immature young men and prefer an older, more experienced partner. And they know that a rich man would be willing to spoil and pamper them. They get access to a world which is very different and they can enjoy the company of successful and interesting men who are happy to spend money on them.
This type of relationship is not new — sugar daddies have been showing younger women what a life of luxury is like for centuries. However, what is new is the phenomenon of the dating site which specifically caters to men and women interested in this type of arrangement. In the United States and Canada, the concept of the sugar-daddy website is well established. In Europe, though, it has been slower to catch on. In many ways, registering on a site such as Sugar-daddy.ca is much like it is on any other dating site. The main difference is that when men sign up, they have to give an indication of their income and how much they are prepared to spend on their sugar baby of choice. In this way, everything is clear from the start for all involved. It is an arrangement entered into by adults — both men and women — who know what they want. And in the current economic climate, dating sites for sugar daddies are likely to continue to provide a much-needed service.
