The Emotional Aspect of Being a Sugar Baby: Managing Expectations

Oct 26, 2023

Every relationship comes with its ups and downs, no matter if we are talking about a traditional type of relationship or about a sugar baby – sugar daddy one. There is no such thing as perfect, and as soon as we understand that and manage our expectations to meet the reality, we will start to enjoy ourselves more, and appreciate what we have.

Being a sugar baby is not as simple as it may seem from the outside. It’s not just fun and games, luxurious gifts and exotic travel destinations, fancy dinners, and elegant clothes. On the contrary, being in a sugar relationship, without being mentally prepared for what’s to come, can be emotionally draining.

So, ladies, don’t go into a sugar baby – sugar daddy relationship blindly, instead take your time to think things through. Read all the info you can find online on what means to be in a sugar relationship, choose your sugar dating platform wisely, and don’t be too eager to settle with the first sugar daddy that approaches you.

Remember, sugar dating is just like regular dating in this aspect – you need to meet a few “bad apples” until you find that one ideal sugar daddy for you. Another important thing is to know exactly what it is that you want from this relationship – it may be anything from shopping budget, monthly compensation, travelling around the world, indulging in the fine living, having the student loan/colleague tuition paid and so on.

When you enter the sugar dating world, staying flexible and constantly adjusting your expectations is vital for your mental state of mind. Everything is constantly changing, from people’s minds and desires to expectations regarding the relationship, and by being able to stay flexible and have realistic expectations, you can meet these changes without difficulty.

As a professional sugar baby, keep in mind in terms of expectations that:

The sugar daddy is not your “traditional” partner. Most sugar daddies are in this sugar dating thing because they don’t have the time nor the mood to face their partners tantrums, jealousies, need for attention, desire to gain recognition from relatives or friends and so on. So, have realistic expectations when it comes to the time and the level of interest the sugar daddy is eager to invest.

Do not expect your sugar daddy to call you often, to share his plans and his actions with you, to text you or call you “good night”. He may not say a single word for weeks and suddenly he may call you to meet in a couple of hours, or to ask you to pack your bags and meet him at the airport for a weekend trip.

The sugar lifestyle is not all about luxurious living. Not all sugar daddies are in Forbes top 100, and not all billionaires are eager to spend their money on luxurious gifts for their sugar babies. Discuss your expectations from the very beginning and you won’t end up being disappointed.

Also, some sugar relationships may not last for years, so there will be moments when you will not be able to count on the support of a sugar daddy, so make sure to always have a backup plan when it comes to your monthly income.

Sugar daddies are not all charming and sweet talkers, some may be rough, distant, and icy, with lots of sarcasm. Don’t expect a “fifty shades of grey scenario” and learn to “read” the man in front of you before committing to a sugar relationship.
