Thoughts about mutually beneficial relationships
Posted: 11/7/2009 1:24:55 PM
I have considered this type of relationship recently and was wondering if you women would think a man who is willing to spoil or assist a girl financially is being foolish. I have contempleted this type of arrangement just because I think there won't be the drama and heartache of a more traditional relationship. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

So... would this be a sugar daddy thing or would she be your personal prostitute?

I would like to develop a genuine friendship so I guess it would be a sugar daddy thing. I'm not looking to meet someone and treat them poorly.

a lot of people do that. but they don't put a label on it so it doesn't sound as bad.
if i knew a man had intentions of that i wouldn't be for it

I can't say whether or not it is foolish. I can oly say that it wouldn't work for me. I want to be loved. If you don't mind paying for sex than I guess it could work for some. It doesn't seem like it would be very fulfilling. You could get hurt if/when she decides she wants a younger/hotter/richer sugar daddy and you have developed feelings for her.

Then it will fail. She'll eventually have all the trinkets and other accoutrements that she'll want from you and she'll move on to someone that wants a relationship based on mutual affection.

I'm not looking to meet someone and treat them poorly.
I take it that was in response to the prostitute comment... fyi, she'll still be prostituting herself to you, the sugar daddy, whether you treat her well or not. The difference is semantics... and I'm presuming that you'll want her to be faithful to you during the course of the arrangement...

Someone will get hurt... whether its you, her or both of you... these scenarios don't play out well in real life.

I think we all have different needs and desires at certain times in our life. This type of "relationship" is a business agreement. Money in exchange for companionship and sex. If you think that it is enough for you right now ... then what does it matter what anyone else thinks? Nobody else can tell you what is best for you .....

Most of the people here on POF are looking for a "traditional" relationship and that includes the drama and the heartache but also the connection and the love that is also apart of being a couple.

Good Luck ...

Peace .....the FairyHealer

Ummm yeah right, paying a woman to screw you would be so rewarding right. If that is what you think you want out of life, go for it, but you should also expect never to have a decent relationship where a woman loves you. Is that what you want, never to be loved?

Post a picture and get a profile review and try dating like the rest of us have, it works some times. Living without love is no life.

Why not just find someone you actually like who likes you too - and maybe it can grow into something meaningful, maybe not. It's a risk we all take. You can still treat someone where there's mutual affection well. I don't understand why you feel that you need to pay someone to sleep with you.

Is it really that bad out there that a 32 year old single man has to resort to this type of "relationship"? Please have some respect for yourself.

Go ahead, plenty of prostitutes in NYC. Good luck with that.

BTW wear a condom too b/c I guarantee she will be splitting the money with a boyfriend/pimp.

Are you serious OP? You are so wildy desperate you are going to pay someone for companionship? You have something wrong with you if you can't find someone in the biggest city in the world.

Stop with the pretense of 'helping a girl out' or being a patron or sugar daddy. Rent a whore. That's what you want anyways. Be careful you don't catch anything and your unit falls off!

OP: This scenario will work perfectly with a gold-digger.

I on the other hand, have no desire to be a kept woman. I have a good career, make great money and therefore I don't need/require to be assisted financially.

Keep clicking away on profiles, I'm sure there are many who would be willing.

Money can't buy love. Didn't you know?

I don't think the relationship you are talking about in this post is the sort of relationship you seem to be yearning for in your profile.

This type of woman is not as needy as you think cuz she probably has as much money and men that she can handle. Heck, she most likely has enough money to keep you in that type of arrangement like the lonely pool boy.

Well...a paid whore is kinda tough to slide into a resume....but it looks like your self-worth is pretty much non-existant....i was propsitioned when i moved here...politition wanted to set me up and attend political functions with him...and then someone told him...no-way...she's not from the south...she doesnt strive for that in life like most of the women here do...Ahhh...i was quite entertained....But...you know what your worth...make it count...

I think you are mistaken about being guaranteed from drama. Some people are just good at it.

Foolish? Why... people make their choises. As long as you're open to the idea that one day she might say "thank you for all the fish" and walk away to a better richer guy.

OP I find it funny that you have 'looking for true love' in your profile and that you're family oriented..

Are you going to tell your dates about your wish to pay them for sex?

I know a man who does this, then does not understand why his girlfriends leave him once they have the jewelry or the credit card is paid off or he has fixed whatever problem they had that they used him for.

There are exceptions to every rule, but generally speaking, I would regard a man like this as foolish. Especially if he's done it more than once and hasn't learned from it.
