Search for and connect with potential sugar daddies on Seeking. Once your profile is approved, start searching for potential matches. View the different profiles and click the heart to favorite someone so you can return to their page later. Or message them immediately!^{[3]XResearch source}
- Send a short message that introduces yourself and expresses your interest in them.
- Try a simple message like “You look like the type of man I’d love to get to know…take a look at my profile and let me know if the feeling is mutual. Love, Mia.”
- If the user decides to respond, chat back and forth a few times before suggesting a video chat to scope each other out and discuss expectations in more depth.
- Before committing to a sugar daddy, research their background. Look at any reviews or testimonials they have so you can learn about their past experiences with sugar babies.^{[4]XResearch source}
- Consider whether their personality and attitude towards sugar dating align with your values, desires, and boundaries.
4
Look for high-value sugar daddies. If your main goal in becoming a sugar baby is to receive financial gifts and benefits, then you need a sugar daddy with those resources. View a sugar daddy’s profile to see information like his net worth and career background to gain insight into his financial profile. Look for other indications of high-value sugar daddies, such as:
- A high net worth.
- A home or property in a wealthy area.
- Professional success in high-income fields like finance and tech.
- Mentions of investment portfolios.
- Photos or anecdotes from extravagant vacations or dinners.
5
Negotiate your sugar baby arrangement. Be open about your needs and expectations with any potential sugar daddy. Be clear about what you’re willing to offer in return—whether that’s sexual relations, physical intimacy, emotional support, or platonic companionship and company.^{[5]XResearch source}
- Agree on what type and quantity of compensation you want to receive; some sugar daddies prefer to pay babies in cash or through direct deposit, while others give lavish gifts, pay off loans and tuition, or take their sugar baby on luxury vacations.
- Decide whether you want a PPM or allowance arrangement. For PPM, or “pay per meet,” the sugar daddy gives the baby a specified amount per date.
- In another type of sugar baby arrangement, the sugar daddy gives a weekly or monthly allowance through cash or payment apps like Venmo and Zelle.
- While negotiating some of these terms can be uncomfortable, being transparent and assertive at the beginning of this process will help you find the right person to fulfill your desires.
6
Go on dates with potential sugar daddies. For your first few dates, safely meet in a public space. A good potential sugar daddy would invite you to lunch or dinner in a public place and make an effort to get to know you platonically before committing to the relationship.^{[6]XResearch source}
- If a sugar daddy asks you to his house for a first meeting, take this as a warning sign.
- Tell your friends when you’re going on a date and share your live location with them.
- Trust your instincts while on the date. If something feels off or you feel unsafe with someone, remove yourself from the situation immediately.
- Once you’re on the date and feel secure, get to know the person opposite you! Make sure your sugar daddy is someone that you genuinely enjoy spending time with and getting to know.
7
Choose a sugar daddy that meets your needs. Consider whether you want a relationship that’s purely transactional, or that involves mentoring and emotional intimacy. Remember that sugaring should lead to a mutually beneficial relationship. You both should be getting what you need (and want) out of the sugar baby-sugar daddy arrangement.^{[7]XResearch source}
- Be patient while finding your ideal sugar daddy. It may take time to find the perfect match for you, so avoid rushing into an arrangement before you feel sure about liking or trusting the other person.
8
Set boundaries around respectful behavior with your sugar daddy. Negotiating your relationship doesn’t end once you meet in person. Continue to communicate your needs and desires to your sugar daddy. Maintain an open dialogue where you can express any concerns or discomforts you’re feeling. Address any potential issues as soon as they come up.^{[8]XResearch source}
- Sugaring can be an empowering experience, but if it’s not feeling that way for you, it’s always okay to take a break.
9
Take steps to keep yourself safe while sugaring. It’s easy to see sugaring as a completely glamorous lifestyle—while it can be, it also comes with risks. Your safety is the top priority as you navigate these relationships, and any sugar daddy worth of your time should understand that too. Follow these safety tips to stay safe as a sugar baby:^{[9]XResearch source}
- Research and run background checks on the people you match with to avoid any scams or bots on the Seeking site.
- Whenever possible, opt for users that have verified their profile and completed a background check.
- If you do decide to move the conversation off the site, use a Google Voice phone number instead of giving out your phone number.
- Don’t disclose personal details like your home address, phone number, or financial details until you’ve built trust with someone.
- Use a nickname or alias on your sugar baby profile and only share your real name if/when you feel comfortable.
- Always do a video call before meeting in person, then meet in a public place.
- Be skeptical of anyone offering “free money” or money without any expectations on your end.
- You should never have to pay someone or give them your credit card details.
- Remember that, at any point of the sugaring process or dates, you always have a right to say no to something you feel uncomfortable with.
10
Consider the legal and tax implications of being a sugar baby. Depending on your location and the nature of your arrangement with your sugar daddy, sugaring could cause issues with taxation or legal problems. Most sugar daddies are legal because they don’t make a specific, explicit agreement to exchange cash or material goods for sex.^{[10]XResearch source}
- That doesn’t mean that sexual activities aren’t an implicit part of some sugar baby agreements—but they don’t meet the legal standard of illegal prostitution.
- Being a sugar baby is technically “self-employment,” so you may have to include that income on your federal taxes each year. However, you can also write off deductible expenses like beauty supplies, photography, and travel.^{[11]XResearch source}
- Talk to a legal or financial expert if you’re concerned about the consequences of sugaring—they should be able to help you fully understand what it means to become a sugar baby.
11
Use the benefits of sugaring to enhance your life. Once you get a sugar daddy that you enjoy being around, feel safe with, and who meets your needs and desires, enjoy it!
- Enhance your personal development and joy—whether that means paying off your mortgage, going back to school, or fulfilling your lifelong dream of traveling the world.
- These relationships should be fun and fulfilling and give you an opportunity to invest in yourself.

Why People Become Sugar Babies

The primary reason for getting a sugar daddy is for financial support and stability. Many people struggle with financial strain that prevents them from meeting basic living expenses, let alone investing in their futures. Sugar daddies can provide support to help sugar babies achieve financial security and pay for rent, tuition fees, debt payments, and more.^{[12]XResearch source}
Being a sugar baby often opens doors to a lavish lifestyle. Sugar daddies will often take their sugar babies to luxurious vacation destinations, exclusive events, and fine-dining establishments. Some choose the sugar baby lifestyle in order to access these types of lifestyle perks.^{[13]XResearch source}
Many sugar daddies prefer to focus on mentorship—with financial assistance as a bonus. They may offer their sugar baby their wisdom and insight on career choices, personal growth, and romantic relationships. If mentorship is a sugar baby’s primary goal, it may be worth looking for a sugar daddy who works in their dream field.^{[14]XResearch source}
Dating a rich man often comes with opportunities to rub elbows with other wealthy and influential people. Sugar babies may leverage these relationships to build connections for job opportunities, internships, and professional advancement.^{[15]XResearch source}
With a combination of money, influence, and valuable connections, sugar daddies can help their sugar babies achieve their dreams. A sugar baby may have a goal to finish their degree, start their own business, or travel extensively. A sugar daddy can give them the financial resources necessary to achieve these dreams.^{[16]XResearch source}
Many people pursue sugaring for emotional support and companionship. For the sugar daddies, specifically, loneliness may play a factor in their decision to join Seeking. They may be struggling to find a genuinely caring relationship in their daily life so that they may seek out that kind of companionship in a sugar-baby arrangement.
7
Empowerment Sugar dating can make women feel more empowered and independent because, for many women, this may be the first time in their lives that they feel financially free. They don’t have to rely on familial support or a full-time job, and the relationship operates on their terms.^{[17]XResearch source}
- Plus, some sugar babies get a confidence boost from knowing that they are desirable and special enough to be paid for their time and company.
Some people explore sugaring simply out of curiosity and a drive to explore new experiences and relationship dynamics. Plus, being a sugar baby offers an opportunity to explore the world outside of your relationship, bringing a sense of excitement to their lives.^{[18]XResearch source}

Whatever you do with your body as part of this relationship is your choice. If any individual tries to pressure or force you into doing something you don’t want to do, contact your local law enforcement and report them to the Seeking site. Being a sugar baby does not mean someone can assault you or forgo consent.
