Having a sugar daddy (sponsor) is typically done for financial benefit in our part of the world.
Although things might soon escalate, these relationships usually begin as transactional connections. These are the four realities of having sugar daddies that no one ever tells you.
He won’t buy you a car or a house: What we see every day is not all there is. If you come across a woman who seems to have received such expensive presents from her sugar daddy, take the time to talk to her and find out the whole story. Unless you have something on him, anything he provides you is likely to stay with him when the relationship ends and you will only have lessons to learn.
He won’t always assist you in finding employment: Some people engage in these types of relationships in anticipation of achieving financial independence before leaving. Your sugar daddy is certainly aware of this, it is a fact. He can pledge to use his contacts to help you get work, but that’s like chasing a mirage—every step you take appears to move the target further away. This never happens because he wouldn’t want to lose the opportunity to control you as he pleases if you become financially independent.
It goes beyond sex: Most girls mentally prepare for a relationship in which they will demand payment from their sponsors in exchange for sexual favors. Although it may appear that way at first, there is generally more to it. Whether you are comfortable with them or not, you’ll end up doing a lot of things you didn’t plan on, and you can’t whine about it because it might have an impact on your revenue.
There is nothing like freebies: He frequently offers you a place to stay because he wants to have sole access to you. Be mindful that there can be an expectation of repayment when he provides a favor. There’s an adage that goes, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” and in his situation, even the tiniest act of kindness can have conditions.
You can’t start a business with the money he gives you: Others believe they can conduct business with their money and depart when the business gets up, while some people form businesses with their sugar daddy. The money vanishes as easily as it comes, and you can’t build a business with it. You’ll start to wonder where all the money went until you settle down to account for it.
Of course, not everything is horrible and there are many benefits to having a sugar daddy despite the difficulties, such as political disagreements, age gaps, and all the baggage. Depending on your sugar daddy, it will differ, but ideally, it will also turn into a wonderful friendship or mentorship. Every relationship involves giving and receiving, but generally, a sugar relationship is worth the time and effort (at least for some ladies).
