It is no longer a secret that the ease of finding love online has, in no small part, played a significant role in normalising the practice of sugar dating. In the age where dating is fast, costs next to nothing, easily dismissed by a swipe, and real human personalities are reduced to a sort of superficial meat auction market, it is probably not unexpected that people are migrating to alternative dating platforms.
The providers, usually younger and more beautiful , get premium dating experiences, treatment, and even monetary payment that they would never get otherwise from the standard dating apps. Meanwhile, the procurers get a leg up and advantage over other competitors vying for the attention of the most beautiful specimens online.
Regardless of what society or individuals think of this practice, the rising trend of signups across sugar dating platforms, especially during the pandemic , confirms an undeniable fact of modern dating: sugar dating is here to stay and will become more ubiquitous in time to come.
As a retired sugar baby myself, I feel the calling to contribute to the trope of sugar dating stories in the hopes of shedding more light on this practice.
The world of sugaring can be treacherous and somewhat dangerous, and anyone who wishes to proceed must do so with well-informed caution. Researching real-life accounts of the veterans from the frontline will help one avoid pitfalls and set realistic expectations.
