Set clear boundaries from the start. Make it known what you are and are not willing to do in the arrangement. And also have an exit strategy. If things start to go wrong, know how you can get out of the situation safely and without too much financial or emotional damage.
One horror story is when a sugar baby found out that the so - called 'sugar daddy' was actually married and his wife started harassing her. She had no idea and was suddenly in the middle of a very messy situation.
Sugar babies should always do their research. Check the person's background before getting involved. For example, look them up on social media, see if there are any red flags. If something seems off, don't proceed.
Do thorough background checks. Use whatever resources available to find out more about the person. You can look at their social media profiles, check if they have any business records if they claim to be in business. This way, you can avoid getting involved with someone who has a history of bad behavior. Also, set clear boundaries from the beginning. Let the sugar daddy know what you are comfortable with and what you are not. For instance, if you don't want him to interfere in your personal friendships, make it clear right away.
People should always do a background check. If possible, find out about the person's reputation in the community or online. This can give an indication of their character.
Sure. In some cases, sugar babies find out that their so - called sugar daddies are married. They get caught up in messy situations where the wife discovers the relationship. This leads to a lot of drama and sometimes even threats from the angry spouse.
First, always do your research. Check the person's background if possible. Second, trust your gut. If something feels off, don't ignore it. For example, if they seem too pushy or secretive, it's a red flag.
One common element is control. The so - called'sugar daddies' often try to control the sugar babies' lives, like dictating their schedules or who they can be friends with.
There was a case where a sugar baby met a man through a sugar dating site. At first, he seemed charming and generous. However, when she refused to do some inappropriate things he asked, he threatened to expose their relationship to her family and friends. She was in a state of panic, fearing the damage it could do to her reputation.
I heard of a case where a sugar glider got into the kitchen and knocked over a box of rat poison. The owner didn't know until they found the glider looking really ill. They rushed it to the vet but unfortunately, it was too late. It was a very scary situation as the owner didn't even think the glider could reach such a dangerous thing.
One horror story could be a sugar baby who thought she was in a relationship with a generous benefactor. But then he started to control every aspect of her life, like what she wore and who she could talk to. It was more like she became his possession rather than having a normal sugar baby - benefactor relationship.
