Top 10 Dating Tips For Online Sugar Daddy Dating


How do you meet someone on a sugar daddy dating site?

There are many ways to have success with meeting a quality sugar daddy or sugar baby. Sugar Daddy Dating is so popular now; just check out a Google Search and you will see what I mean! There are lots of sugar babies looking for rich men to take care of them and lost of sugar daddies looking for young, attractive women as girlfriends and companions. What once was taboo to talk about is being discusses on sugar daddy dating sites, blogs, and being featured on TV.

1. Research
If you are inexperienced it is okay if you are a little nervous if you are new to the sugar daddy lifestyle. So many people are interested in being a sugar daddy or sugar baby with the popularity of sugar daddies all over the TV and Internet. Read a beginners guide to learn the ins and outs of getting into the swing of things. Online dating and Sugar daddy dating go hand in hand. Currently there is the only book written to address this subject. Also, there are several TV interviews on YouTube and other websites that feature sugar daddy and sugar baby examples. Some of these people have appeared on 20/20, Dr. Phil show, the O' Reilly Factor, and other shows. Some of the examples are not realistic for the novice but will give you a good idea what the lifestyle has to offer.

2. Dating Profile Introductions
Your introduction should be friendly and grab the attention. Here is a good example: Hi, my name is Carrie, like Sex in the City (wink). This is good dating introduction. Its friendly, sexy, identifies with a popular show and movie, sounds confident, and will definitely attract a good guy online. Take a look at other sugar daddy dating profiles to get an idea of what people are saying. Be yourself and be interesting. Since this is not mainstream dating like on Match.com you can be sexy and more direct in saying what you like in a relationship. That doesn't mean for you to be pornographic and vulgar since that will turn off most people.

3. Be Safe When Dating Online
When sharing information online, do not give address or personal info. Get to know someone first before you date them and invite them to your home. Online dating is great for meeting people, but sometimes with sugar daddy dating, crazy people come out of the woodwork. Use common sense with online dating. You should be safe first before you give or receive the sugar!

4. Dating Profiles Should be Accurate
How many times have you clicked on a profile and seen a picture that was grainy and looked like it was an old snap shot from 1980's? Then when you meet a sugar daddy or sugar baby and they are 20 lbs. overweight, older than stated, ugly, no hair, looking nothing like the picture in the profile. I have even heard cases where people use another person's picture on their profile just to meet people! Use current pictures, NO Photoshop. Dating is hard enough as it is, don't fool your date into thinking you are Brad Pitt or Halle Berry. Men typically like to date attractive sugar babies. Ladies should look good and emphasize their other attributes, you don't have to look perfect but sugar daddies don't want someone obese either.

5. Respond to Ads The Right Way
When responding to dating ads make sure to be friendly and to personalize your responses based on the profile. Don't copy and paste a letter. Reference some information in the dating profile that appeals to you. If you share common interests then point that out, too. If a dating ad stands out then that means that sugar daddy or sugar baby is getting bombarded with lots of emails. You need to respond in a way to get their immediate attention.

6. Have Realistic Expectations
Competition is stiff to find a real sugar daddy or sugar baby. There are many time wasters, cyber pen pals that will come your way when using online dating. Know that if you are a guy and want a Playboy type model to be your sugar baby then she will not be cheap. She will want a large allowance, maybe $10,000 allowance plus shopping and trips. However, you can get a young college girl that will only expect help with books and paying her inexpensive rent. Ladies, if you are not a professional model or exceptionally beautiful, then do not expect to have the world handed to you on a silver platter. Be prepared to get some money for hair and nails, some gift certificates and a modest monthly allowance.

7. Don't be Flaky
Show up for dates on time, follow through on arrangements, don't be mean, set boundaries, and respect the other person's privacy. Nothing shows class better than a sugar baby and sugar daddy that dates in an upscale and worthy manner.

8. Realize That Many People Play Games
There are many people on sugar daddy sites that are not real so you have to be careful. It is common to have Nigerian scammers put up fake profiles seeking men to send money. There are also men that have no money wan to be fake sugar daddies to sugar babies. Ask questions to see if someone is real. Do they work? Are they reluctant to talk on the phone? Do they have excuses about not meeting right away? Does their information check out? If you get red flags just walk away and look for someone else to date. It may be a lot of sifting through dating sites and dating profiles, but you will get better results by being selective. Understand that in this type of dating it will attract tons of game players that have nothing better to do than to waste your time.

9. Know What You Want
If you are single and don't want something serious make that clear upfront. If you are married person let that be known right away because not everyone wants to date an attached person. If you want to date several people at one time then make that known since some in the sugar daddy lifestyle want one-on-one relationships.

10. Join a Support Group
There are many groups out there to share experiences in the sugar daddy lifestyle. It is great to be able to ask common dating questions, where to go meet sugar daddies and sugar babies, feedback on dating profiles, people to check on you when you go on dates, someone to be a sugar daddy buddy or sugar baby friend. You may even meet a sugar baby or sugar daddy in a sugar daddy support groups. Yahoo has several Yahoo groups dedicated to the sugar daddy lifestyle and there are many sugar baby blogs on Blogger and other blog sites. Also check for sugar groups on MySpace.

Sugar Babies VS The Media: A Study

Sugar Babies and Sugar Daddies tend to have a love/hate relationship with the media. We need the media to thrive, and Australiansugardaddy.com has been widely covered, with both positive and negative impressions left on audiences. Though we do our best to control the outcome of each segment or article that covers this website by attempting to cast only the best representation of the sugar world that we can, know that at the end of the day it is not up to us. There is only so much we can do to change the general perspective of what a sugar baby or a sugar daddy really is (or what it isn’t).



The thing to remember here is that the media is not usually interested in telling a story that has a happy ending. They want the dirty details. The controversy. They want the stereotypes. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter who we cast or what story is told, there will always be “experts” around to sway the perspective their way. So the overall public image of Sugar Babies and Sugar Daddies isn’t an accurate one, and more importantly, isn’t a positive one. It’s unfortunate really, because if you are a part of this world, you would know that having a little sugar, rarely has a negative impact on one’s life. But not everyone likes to see that perspective.

Some would wonder if the stigma placed on the sugar world has any negative affects on those who participate in it. More often than not, we struggle to cast with in the website because members are uncomfortable revealing their identities or talking openly about this lifestyle. The journalists and producers we work with see this as “shameful” behavior, but we know better. It has nothing to do with shame, but more of the ridicule they would likely receive when thrust into the spotlight. No one likes to be judged, whether they are proud of what they do or not. But does it stop there? Or are you harboring a secret life, or relationship, from everyone you know because of the stigma that has been initiated by the media?

One sugar baby is taking it upon herself to answer these questions, and find out the best way to overcome these obstacles. She is so passionate about this project, that she has taken it upon herself to dedicate her thesis and the next two years of grad school, to studying the adverse effects of media on sugar. If you are interested in helping her gather data and perspective on this subject, she is looking for volunteers. She is looking for people who are willing to share their experiences via phone or skype, and would love to have your valuable insight. We all know that not all sugar is created equal, and that many different stories can be told with in the sugar bowl.
