Sugar Daddy 101

Especially now, with the economy in the tank, who says that Mr. Right can't also be Mr. Fabulously Rich? Read our dating guide for more dating tips and advice.

Sugar Daddy

1. Shop Where They Shop

New York's Upper East Side, LA's Bel Air, Chicago's Lincoln Park, Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square: all metro areas have a part of town where the wealthy cluster together. You may not be able to afford $200 dinners or to shop at Barneys (just yet,) but that doesn't mean you can't meet a guy who does. Start running your errands, buying your venti lattes and doing your grocery shopping in upscale neighborhoods. By frequenting the same spots as the rich, you will increase your chances of meeting them.

2. Attend Charity Events

One of the best places to meet someone who is both generous of heart (and of wallet) is at a charity event. Polo matches, galas, and anything involving a cultural institution are great places to start. Besides potentially meeting someone, you can also feel good that you're giving back and helping a charitable organization.

3. Volunteer

Like charity events, volunteering is a great way to meet quality and financially stable men. For example, volunteering at a hospital exposes you to a large pool of doctors and surgeons whom you might not otherwise meet. Political organizations also attract ambitious, successful men.

4. Take Up a New Hobby

Although you shouldn't take up any activity that you really hate just for the sake of meeting someone, luxury sports like golf, sailing, tennis, and scuba diving tend to attract the type of men who have disposable income to burn. Spending time on a golf course or at a marina can only increase your chances of meeting a successful man and, as a plus, gives you something to talk about when he asks you out on a date. Likewise, don't bother looking for your next boyfriend in places like bowling alleys, diners, and bars that offer two for one specials, unless you are okay with always going Dutch treat.

5. Check Out Specialty Dating Sites

There are numerous online dating websites that are specifically geared towards average-income women looking to meet high-income men. However, exercise caution when utilizing these services. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.

Lastly, even when you meet Mr. Fabulously Wealthy, you'll still experience the ups and downs of any normal relationship. At the end of the day, despite their financial security, rich men are still just men.

Sugar Babies October 24, 2011 | 6:13 AM

Sugar babies keep evolving. There are tons of educated college girls that fall under the sugar baby category. Many think this is due to the down economy - that's utter junk! There's a shift in our society in what we consider acceptable and sugar babies keep climbing up the list.

If you have dealt with bullshit relationships that weren't beneficial either emotionally or financially then why not try to find someone who can at least treat you to the better things...and for the men who are saying that women are pathetic...Yea when we deal with assholes who just want to USE us...So why not use you as well? I have been in relationships with people "for them and not what they have" and they have always been the type to make a come up and then forget who was there when they had nothing. I know I'm tired of it!

The reality is men look for beautiful women, and women look for wealthy powerful men. I have never heard one of my male friends say " I want to date her. Shes not very prety but shes really smart." I have also never heard any of my female friends say "I want to date him, he's a non-working loser and I'll have to support him the rest of my life, but hes cute.

www.babeescort.co.il is the best solution for rich men !!! I am a young beautiful girl. Sometimes wanting to escape from the tedium of everyday life and family life. Escort men for me as an airhole . At the time of escorting I become a beautiful queen excited passionate or wild cat . Hot Babe ! I love that man called me " Babe" , it excites me so ... I give myself entirely to this underworking . In real life, I work as a model . I have a good knowledge of English which allows me to make friends with English-speaking men . They are usually very courteous, trained, smell good and great lovers ! I am glad that I can communicate with such level of gentlemen , Instead, give them sexual pleasure and delighting them with my young body ! (+972)52-8047753

You women are pathetic. The only thing you care about is money. You don't even care about the men themselves, just the money they make. HA and you wonder why more and more men are treating women like sh*t

I think we all have our opinions o the opposite sex based on mostly past experiences, but as humans, I feel we all want basically the same thing...true genuine connections...to at least some extent...focus on attracting that my friends:)

I agree On meeting the sugar daddy's online

DJ from Chicago July 28, 2010 | 10:28 AM

Born and raised in Chicago here...there are NOOOOO rich men in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. Yes, the homes in Lincoln Park are expensive (rent too) but this place is full of college kids (DePaul University), young married couples, young families...and single broke job to job and need a roommate to afford rent in Lincoln Park people like myself. If you want a rich man in Chicago, shop on the Magnificent Mile (Michigan Avenue in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood). Eat at Signature Room (top of John Hancock building). Just play around the Gold Coast and River North neighborhoods in Chicago for rich singles NOT Lincoln Park which is full of married young people.

One overlooked meeting place is some of the online sugar daddy websites. I personally have not done any of the pay sites but have had some good luck on iCoddle (dot com) which is free (I am cheap).

Alex in MN August 11, 2009 | 11:45 AM

It goes to show, you can look like Quasimodo and have manners like an ape, but if you're rich enough some blond knock-out babe will marry you. It's just a business deal, a supply demand thing in a courtship market place.

So, then what's the difference between a housewife and a hooker? Could it be the hooker's more honest?

Gypsy June 11, 2009 | 12:09 PM

These days there are just as many men out there looking for SUGAR MAMAS AS WELL. BOTH DISGUSTING.

Paul February 15, 2009 | 3:58 PM

Disgusting, women are pirates! And you wonder why most men disrespect women and use them as sexual objects!
