Sugar Daddy Parties!

Seems like a rather curious approach to me but if it's between two consenting adults (or more I suppose) then as far as I'm concerned that should be their business.

The point about it being about a "breadwinner" sounds somewhat like attempting to justify or rationalise it as being much the same as any "normal" relationship but if anything more honest in that the expectations are settled in advance. I'm not convinced by that or at least I hope it's not true as it's a very mercenary approach to relationships but who's to say that believing relationships should be about love is the only possible way or even more valid than this approach.

Really? You think people in this thread wish they were blowing hundreds of pounds, I'd imagine on top of the cost of the date, every time they went on a date with a not particularly attractive woman? :confused:
 
I heard about this on the radio yesterday. I think it's a tad disgraceful that some women will try and make a living off a wealthy man by simply "being with him". It's like it's a step back in time.
 
If I was an attractive, single, woman I'd be rushing to be one of those women. It provides you with money, opportunities (to eat at nice restaurants, do expensive things that you wouldn't have been able to and so on) meet interesting, different people and probably is a bit of fun.

As for the men, if they wish to spend their money treating these women to nice things and taking them along to events and so on then fine. Who are we to criticise? Perhaps because they work so hard for their money they don't actually have the time to develop an orthodox relationship with a lady so this seems perfect.
 
Because it's all so fake and hence I'm surprised they're not left feeling to utterly hollow and alone when the night is over. At least with a real gf it's a better more fore filling experience

It is, and I don't feel right about it, but you can't force a woman to be a feminist.

I know a few women who choose to be ladies of leisure, housewives or stay at home mums, the last one is obviously a bit different but I don't think the assumption should be there that it's the expected thing to happen.

It's not directly related, but I find it interesting that there's a real surge in traditionally housewifey type activities, baking, nitting, general crafty stuff, but usually from an independent woman direction, half the time it feels like a "taking it back" movement, and the other half just feels like women happy to be subservient.
 
This is symptomatic of our X-Factor and wannabe-WAG obsessed female population nowadays.

My main problem is that this, and also the above are giving females (I refuse to call them Women) massively unrealistic expectations for life and relationships, thereby ruining chances for guys who, while financially less well-endowed, have more personality in their little finger than a lot of these 'Sugar Daddies'.

As others in this thread have said it is borderline prostitution! The attitude of the girls in the article beggars belief; expecting guys to 'pay' to go on dates with them? It smacks of the stories you hear of the girls queueing up in nightclubs to 'bag a footballer' so he can keep her in fake tan, Jimmy Choos and Louis Vuitton.

Things like this sadden me greatly. I wonder what arch feminists such as Germaine Greer think about it!

Hahaaaaaaaaaaha. Do you get the stupidness of your post?

It's not right! It's awful, a feminist would resent your point.

They'd (at least radical feminists) probably embrace it and demonstrate how the power has shifted from the patrioachal system of before where men exploit women to the women who are now in control of their own career and are the ones who hold the power.

I don't agree with radical feminists, but it's a valid argument. Your apparent argument does nothing but further reinforces the divide between men and women and the roles that you expect them to play.

Not sure I want to know after the last time I saw her on QT and she was going on about how yound girls kissing their fathers goodnight was "teaching them to flirt" under a sexual nature :rolleyes:

I'd rather a woman/female (what is the difference politically speaking? :confused:) tried to get a proper career or family than simply leech of weather men. Would also apply the other way round too. If that makes me a bigot or something, then so be it :)


Edit: lol @ weather men. I'll keep it there for the lulz. PS it was supposed to be "wealthier men".
 
I suppose I should admint that I have a bit of bias here. I'm in no way "rich" but earn a pretty decent living and got burnt before with an ex who basically wanted to be a "kept woman". Yeah, more fool me but I learned my lesson (and at least in my case I was guaranteed snoo snoo). :p

But if one of these girls was my sister or daughter, for example, I'd feel pretty disgusted tbh.

What is a proper career though?
Why is it wrong that a woman doesn't wish to pursue a family life?

I'm not suggesting that you are a bigot, I'm curious as to why you (and society as a whole) places these 'normal' expectactions on a woman and when they don't follow these it's such a big deal.

Like someone else said, if it was the other way round and men were approaching rich women it would be appluaded (as has been the case with a member in motors, though I forget who it was).
