Sorry, but there’s nothing you can do to find a sugar daddy. The tragic irony is sugar daddies only come to those who don’t want them. That’s not to say you could never have a meaningful relationship with a wealthy man, just that he wouldn’t be a sugar daddy. ---

hang out where upper middle class and rich married men congregate. seduce one, find his emotional buttons as well as sexual buttons and push them. eventually get him to set you up with an apartment and car. also make sure his current wife is a total ball buster, play the role of nurse to help him relax and destress after a fight. he can come to you after a fight or after work stress. learn active listening skills. men want sex and affection but we also want to be understood and accepted. cite: movies 101 ---

You could move to New Jersey, take a job as a cook in a rich old man’s home, then seduce him with your wiles and become the sole heir to his estate.

This board is all about everyone making their own choices about relationships, and as long as everyone is in agreement, no harm, no foul. If the OP wants a sugar daddy, and the sugar daddy wants a 25 year old, who am I to judge? ---

This is too funny. A while back I had thought about posting a “how do I find a sugar baby” thread. Trouble is, I don’t know what you call the female counterpart to sugar daddy. Is it “sugar baby”? Just “gold digger”? That sounds too insulting. Definitely not “prostitute”. I just want someone easy on the eyes to be nice to me and travel with on my dime. Doesn’t sound like too much to ask. And how rich does one have be to qualify to be a sugar daddy anyway? Does he have to be a millionaire? Hundred-thousand-aire? I suspect it’s more about his willingness to spend than about how much he has. That rules me out, I’m afraid. I’d gladly pay for someone to travel with me, but no way am I paying off your student loans. Regardless, I clearly need to spend more time on Craigslist. 😉 ---

A sugar daddy is paired with a sugar baby. You don’t have to be a millionaire but you do have to be at least financially comfortable. I am not a millionaire but I do all right. I have had a few offers and was really tempted once but have never gone through with it. What they want can range from they live with you expense free to they live on their own and get stipend. ---

Of course, they _are_ a species of prostitute.
