Looking to find out more about sugar dating? Every relationship is different, but it’s always interesting to see what’s going on behind other people’s closed doors. Today we take a glimpse into the life of a man whose foray into being a sugar daddy came unexpectedly. Pull up a seat, grab a hot drink and take in this fascinating story from a real-life sugar daddy.

Thank you for joining us for this interview. What made you take the decision to become a sugar daddy?

No worries, it’s great to be here, thanks for having me. I think like most sugar daddies it wasn’t something I was necessarily actively seeking, just something that happened. I’d reached 40 and, spent so much time focused on work and my career. I’d never really taken the time to think about settling down with someone or finding the right person. I mostly floated between relationships when I had the time but never really met the one. One day I met online a girl working at the local coffee shop near my office. She mentioned she was studying and working as a barista to pay for her education but wasn’t enjoying it. We went on a few dates and discussed the idea of my helping her out financially. In return for a physical relationship, I’d cover the cost of her course, and the rest is history.

How has being a Sugar Daddy changed your life so far?

It’s been incredible. You get the benefits of a relationship with a beautiful woman, without feeling tied down or having to sacrifice work. It’s not something I ever expected to be involved in, but I’d never turn back the clock. If you have the freedom and the finances, I’d recommend anyone to try it at least once.

What do you search for in a Sugar Babe?

Someone who completely understands the lifestyle. It’s not always about jewelry and piles of cash. Sometimes it can be just looking for companionship in return for a little help in life, whatever that may be. I personally prefer someone who is relaxed and isn’t pushy. Open communication is always the best thing in any relationship, sugar or otherwise. The last thing you want is to find out your sugar baby wants something different later down the line.

How do you separate your personal life and Sugar life?

Whenever I start a new relationship, I always make it clear that nothing can come in the way of work. Most girls have their own things they want, so this is rarely a problem. But it’s mostly just about setting boundaries and rules to make it clear. If you have plans for a weekend together, a date night, or even just something physical, plan. That way you can avoid the pitfalls of a regular relationship and make it work for you.

How many sugaring relationships have you had so far?

Three in total. A few others started but sadly the chemistry was off, and we just weren’t a good fit. The first I previously mentioned. The second was a girl who used to work at my company. After she left, the job she took didn’t work out, but we always got on well and kept in touch. She mentioned she was down on her luck, and I explained about my last relationship. Also said she was interested and wanted to try it until she’d landed back on her feet. She enjoyed the freedom of not having to take the first job she found, and I really liked her company. Once the arrangement came to an end we stayed in touch, and we still get together every now and then.

The third one I met through Sugar.ie, and it was brilliant. We’re both really into traveling so, we go away as often as possible. Anytime I go away on a business trip she always comes with me, and it’s been fantastic. When we first met, she only lived a few minutes away from my office. It meant we could go out for dinners and dates without having to worry about the hassle of travel.

What was your best Sugar Daddy experience so far?

I’m really loving this one as I’ve traveled more with her than I think I ever have. We enjoy each other’s company so much, without any home life issues that usually plague a relationship. I would say the first one was special though as it felt so new and different from anything I’d ever experienced.

How do you rank Sugar.ie in comparison with other Sugar dating platforms you’ve used?

I was apprehensive at first but it’s so easy to use it almost feels effortless. The fact you can filter down your searches by location means it’s perfect if you aren’t looking to travel. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to get into this lifestyle without any previous experience. I’ve found it takes the worry out of the equation that you find with traditional dating. Leaving you to just enjoy the fun bit. Plus, the fact that profiles are verified means you don’t get your time wasted, which has happened on other sites.
