The 6 fool-proof steps to snaring yo'self a Sugar Daddy.

Because girls just wanna have funds.

Last Friday while you were fast asleep in your bed, a group of far more ambitious young women were meeting in New York for the first annual Sugar Baby Summit.

A Sugar Baby is an attractive young lady (or lad) who has an appreciation for the finer things in life — like caviar face-cream and yachting.

Unfortunately they need someone to fund their absurdly OTT lifestyle choices and hence find themselves “seeking arrangements” with a presumably less attractive but far wealthier Sugar Daddy (or mummy). Sigh.

Needless to say snaring the perfect business mogul to keep you in the cosmos takes a very specific set of skills.

Hence, summit.

More than 100 young women attended the conference, which was sponsored by dating site SeekingArrangement.com, hoping to learn the secrets of turning a spoonful of sugar into a whole freaking cup.

Some lucky schmuck from New York Daily News drew the short straw of journalism that day and attended the event.

She also put together a handy list of Dos and Don’ts for dating gross, rich old men, which I’ve summarised below.

You can thank me later.

1. Never have sex with your Sugar Daddy (SD) on date numero one.

“Keep him wanting more,explained 25-year-old sugar baby Kristen J.

“That’s how you get more money.”

‘Sugar Baby 101’, mate.

2. Listen to what your SD has to say even if it is boring (which it will be because rich white men are boring). 

Look this one is tough. You can fake it, at the very least. Think of yourself as a “high-priced therapist,’ Kristen said. A hot one.

3. Make sure your profile photos actually look like you.

No catfish ever hooked a rich fisherman IF YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING. (I’m sorry that was nonsensical at best.)

4. Definitely DO NOT call him your ‘Sugar Daddy’, you f*cking amateur.

If anyone asks, he is just your wealthy boyfriend you met on a dating site who fuels your addiction to brunch. GET IT TOGETHER.

“The money comes in easy and it goes easy,” attendee Chelsea said. “When you get whatever you want whenever you want, it’s addicting.”

Here’s some the the gifts our Sugar Babies have been enjoying lately:

5. Always meet in public places and tell someone where you are going.

Because meeting up with strangers from the Internet is just not as safe as it used to be. Quel horreur.

6. Be aware that one-third of the site’s 800,000 male members (lol) ARE MARRIED.

One. Third.

Did you get all that? Then it’s time to jump online and join the 4.5 million people now using SeekingArrangement.com!

Oh and one more thing, CEO of the website Brandon Wade wants you to know Sugar Daddies ARE NOT CREEPS:

“A Sugar Daddy is not an old, lecherous, horny, old man,” Wade said. “That’s what people think he is. It’s a stereotype. Stereotypes die hard.”

No, they’re just wealthy — probably married — men who lavish gifts on a young woman in return for sexual favours.

NOT CREEPY AT ALL.
