What is a Sugar Daddy?

      The dictionary definition for sugar daddy is "a well-to-do usually older man who supports or spends lavishly on a mistress or girlfriend."  A slightly more modern version could also include "boyfriend" in the list.  But, in terms of the real world...what exactly is a sugar daddy?

      A sugar daddy is your average middle-aged man, not necessarily old and decrepit.  He is usually in his mid-40s.  Many times he is married, but he may be divorced or (rarely) a true bachelor.  A sugar daddy is looking for excitement and adventure.  He may be bored with his marriage or his wife doesn't give him the satisfaction he needs.  He may be beginning a mid-life crisis...or trying to avoid one.  Maybe he's bored.  Or lonely.  Maybe he doesn't want a traditional relationship because he works long, hard hours.  No matter the reason, he has chosen to pursue a sugar daddy relationship to fulfill his needs.

     Contrary to popular belief, a man does not have to be well-to-do in order to be a sugar daddy.  A sugar daddy can be anyone.  Rich or middle-class.  Young or old. Single or married.  Chiseled physique or Jabba the Hut (but usually in between).  He's the man you meet at the furniture store or the bar in your city's financial district.  He is the handsome man on the golf course or the entrepreneur.  More than anything, he is a man who enters a relationship knowing that he is expected to give financial help.  He knows that this is essential in maintaining the relationship.

     A sugar daddy is not expected to be your best friend, an accomplished lover, your husband-to-be (though it has been known to happen), a Hollywood hunk.  More likely, he is a workaholic, slightly dysfunctional, a white-collar professional.  When you do find a sugar daddy, you can expect him to be a financial advisor, a special friend, someone who pays for your car, tuition or rent, a "regular" guy.

    The lifespan of a sugar daddy ranges from a short couple of months to many years.  The average sugar daddy relationship lasts for about a year...not very long and certainly not secure.  Unfortunately, there is no crystal ball to predict how long your sugar daddy relationship will last.  The good news is that there are plenty of fish in the sugar daddy sea.  You just have to have to bait your hook with the right lures.
