I don’t judge people for being sugar babies / having a sugar baby, so I can’t say anything negative about this man’s experience. However, what surprised me was his approach to this concept. He didn’t want to have a traditional, “free” relationship, because it required commitment and equal split from him — he would have to be accountable for the time he’s traveling for work, reply to the stressful texts, etc. But when he opted in for a sugar baby experience where he would pay for “service” in a form of companionship and intimacy, he all of a sudden wanted to have the emotional connection and the benefits from a relationship.

You can’t have it both ways. You either have to be involved emotionally and be an equal; or you way for a meaningless companionship where the other person doesn’t love you or care for you. The man from this story is simply selfish, self-centered and only wants his needs and wants to be accommodated. That’s not how the world works.
