Millions of men are happy to support your women without demanding much in return. So, if you’d like to get in on the action and try to become a sugar baby, this beginner’s guide is for you. We’ll share the tried-and-true tips to get you set up for sugar dating success.
Where to Find a Sugar Daddy: Top 3 Options
Sugar dating is gaining popularity, so you’ll have your choice of ways to find a sugar daddy:
- Through other sugar babies. If there’s someone in your circle successfully dating a sugar daddy, ask them to make a reference. Wealthy guys mingle with their peers and might introduce you to acquaintances interested in compensated relationships. Similarly, once you’re in the sugar bowl, you’ll meet more affluent guys who might lure you away from your current SD.
- At offline haunts of the wealthy. If you can’t get into exclusive charity events, galas, or concerts, be creative. Instead of wasting time (and money) at upscale restaurants, check out coffee shops across the wealthiest neighborhoods. Business networking events are also a great option, as long as you avoid your colleagues. You can also check out seasonal attractions, like Aspen or Vail, but like joining country clubs, it will require an initial investment.
- On niche sugar dating platforms. Unlike the previous two options, sugar dating sites require zero investment, and you won’t have to rely on lucky coincidences. Instead, you have complete control over your sugar persona and profile, as well as the SDs who can contact you. Although there’s a risk of running into scammers and salt daddies, sugar dating platforms are the safest and most efficient way of scoring meet-and-greets.
Of course, you can run across your future sugar daddy at a gym or a grocery store, but combining the three approaches we listed above gives you the highest likelihood of finding an SD quickly.
How to Find a Sugar Daddy Online: Practical Tips
Once you choose a reputable sugar dating platform with a respectable dating pool, sign up and look around to decide if it fits your needs. After that, the real work begins.
Step 1. Fill Out Your Profile Gallery
Your profile photo is the hook to draw sugar daddies’ attention. But before you dive into your gallery or whip up your phone for a selfie, remember these basic rules:
- Use original photos that don’t appear on your social media or mainstream dating profiles.
- Skip filters and Photoshop (as well as old shots) that make you look younger or thinner than you are.
- Pick shots that showcase your best features and avoid group photos or blurry low-res images.
- Avoid explicit shots, but upload photos in fitting clothes that emphasize your body shape.
Your main profile picture should be the best of the bunch, but you’ll need at least half a dozen shots to show off your face and body in different outfits and locations. This should give potential sugar daddies a chance to decide if you fit their type.
Step 2. Create a Unique Value Proposition
Once your gallery is up, fill out the profile and write a compelling self-description. Instead of repeating standard fields or describing your looks (that’s what photos are for), focus on your unique value proposition.
Your goal is to set yourself apart from other sugar babies. So, focus on what you have to offer to sugar daddies. Perhaps you give killer shoulder rubs or know how to make a man feel ten feet tall. That’s what you should include in your description instead of your need to be spoiled or treated like a queen.
Step 3. Contact Potential Matches
Active sugar daddies are happy to take on the active role of seeking out sugar babies. But if you’re new, you need to get yourself noticed first. So, use the search filters to narrow down your choices and pick five or six SDs you want to contact first. Skim their profiles and craft personalized messages for each.
Ideally, you should mention something you’ve seen in an SD’s profile, add a complimentary comment, and ask a question to prompt a response. For example, “I’ve always wanted to try surfing, and you seem like a pro. Would you mind giving me a few pointers and maybe a hands-on lesson?”
Do not use stock messages, banal questions, or lame pick-up lines. Put yourself in sugar daddy’s shoes. If you wouldn’t respond to such lazy commons, why should SDs be any different?
Step 4. Set Up a Meet-and-Greet
Always arrange to meet in public, preferably in the afternoon before dark. To be on the safe side, share your phone’s location with your friends. You should also park somewhere your sugar daddy is unlikely to park, so he won’t follow you to your car.
Do not ask your SD to pay for the M&G. He’ll usually cover your order and maybe your gas or taxi, but since you don’t bring any value to the table, don’t expect to get paid. Consider it a job interview. If you make a good impression, you can discuss the terms of your arrangement and get paid the next time you meet.
How to Find a Sugar Daddy That Doesn’t Want to Meet
Cyber affairs and online-only sugar relationships are rare. You’ll have to go through a hundred potential SDs to find one or two who don’t want to meet. Besides, they won’t pay much for chatting and swapping a few nude photos. After all, there are cheaper ways to get sexual gratification online.
If you’re dead set on online sugar dating, try these tricks:
- Pick an international sugar dating platform or focus on guys who live halfway across the country to avoid awkward conversations about meeting IRL.
- List your online-only sugar dating status clearly in your profile to avoid wasting SDs’ time and money.
- Come up with a value offer to convince sugar daddies they’ll get their money’s worth without meeting.
- Keep searching for SDs after you’ve found one since cyber affairs don’t last long and can dissolve once a sugar daddy finds a local baby to spoil.
Most importantly, keep your expectations realistic. It’ll take a while to find a sugar daddy who doesn’t want to meet, and his contribution to your income will likely be much smaller than you expect.
How to Get a Sugar Daddy and Keep Him Interested?
The key to successful sugar dating is to focus on what your sugar daddy wants.
SDs have different needs. Some want sex, others need a plus-one to business events, while a few want to be your mentors. But they all have one thing in common—they want an instant relationship without the guessing game of wooing you. Sugar daddies are after the benefits of dating gorgeous young women without the obligations, responsibilities, and emotional roller-coasters.
That’s why you shouldn’t assume sex is all sugar daddies want. Nor should you expect to be treated like a spoiled princess if you have nothing to offer in return. Remember, most SDs are successful and experienced men. They won’t throw their money away on your whims just to get you into your pants. They can get sex much easier and cheaper.
To be a successful sugar baby, you need to understand sugar daddy’s needs and fulfill them. You must be present and attentive, listen and offer appropriate comments, and, most importantly, provide SDs with a guaranteed fix of positive emotions to get them hooked and crave more.
