Not the lifestyle for me, but I don’t see how it hurts anybody.

Recent missing female and subsequently finding the corpus dilecti of the so-called sugar baby in Utah paints a different story.

Well, back in college I had bomb shell of a neighbor who was working her way through school with similar arrangements with what she termed “ several very rich and very married older gentlemen” . Nice girl - and nice guys too, BTW. Saw them around a lot ( lol) and got to know them pretty well.

Pretty sure the several older gentlemen were well aware of each other and were cool with it ( helped keep the overhead and maintenance costs down, kind of like fractional ownership of a biz jet) but I’m pretty sure none of them were aware of the not rich, not married young guy who was getting for free what they were paying lots of bucks for when they were not around.

Two things for certain - that girl sure knew how to manage a schedule and those guys were definitely getting their money’s worth. Probably the best return on investment they ever saw and they were very successful investors

The girl went on to a very successful business career too and her “gentlemen” did a lot to set her up on the right path. They really were nice guys. Worked for them, worked for her.

Most interesting of all, it worked for the wives of the men too. The wives of the men were completely aware of the arrangements and were totally cool with it because the husbands were just seeing her a few times a week and not running around with lots of strange women, hookers, or gold digger secretaries so the risks of STDs, divorce, arrest, stalkers or scandal were minimal.

It was all very civilized and so not only it did it work out for the wives too maybe even worked best of all for them. They are either all still married or stayed married until one or both passed away.

Always suspected the wives may have something similar going on for themselves on the side too.

Broken marriages, venereal disease, herpes, HIV, having your child find porn with you in it, not to mention claiming you have PTSD from having to be a Sugar Baby to survive

I'm inclined to agree.

Enjoy it while it lasts. 30 is coming.

“Not the lifestyle for me, but I don’t see how it hurts anybody.”

I saw the movie: Boys Night Out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys%27_Night_Out_(film)

Madcap humor but the arrangements didn’t work and, in the end, had to be abandoned for traditional, happy relationships.

Setting that aside, perhaps if more moms and dads would encourage their daughters to pursue this lifestyle Baltimore could be snapped out of the doldrums.
