How to Be a Sugar Daddy: The Complete Guide to Living the Sugar Daddy Lifestyle Without Going Broke or Insane Paperback – November 29, 2013

like many people it seems, i've become completely burned out by 'traditional' dating. but a while back, a close female friend of mine asked me if you could borrow some money from me and i realized i enjoyed the dynamic, so i started looking into sugar dating and came across this magnificent book.one thing i really like about this book is that not only does it teach you the ins and outs of sugar dating, but it also goes into different income brackets for sugar daddies. one reason i've been hesitant to really dive into sugar dating is because i never thought i was rich enough, especially since the media likes to focus solely on millionaires and billionaires doing this type of thing when there is a whole world out there with sugar babies not explicitly looking for an ultra rich man to provide for them 100% and not-so- wealthy men who'd be happy to provide for them (for example, my female friend only wanted 50-100 dollars to help pay for groceries and such, well within my price range lol) and i'm glad the book touches on that.if you are thinking about becoming a sugar daddy, this book is a must read. you really need to figure out what you are looking for and what you want, and this book can help guide you in that respect.

I had read this before and attempted to meet up with a couple of girls to see if we clicked. The first one I met at a coffee shop. When she arrived 45 minutes late, she had a smell of cigarettes, not mentioned on her profile. Needless to say we did not have a 2nd meeting. I met another young woman at her apartment. We had begun chatting on a secret benefits website. I made the mistake of sharing my real name with her. She found me on Facebook, when I showed up she took my picture, a picture of my car and attempted to try to hustle me for cash or she was going to contact my wife via Facebook and send her the pictures and a copy of our conversations. I stopped chasing after sugar babies, went home and confessed my wrong doing, spent about 9 months in therapy trying to gain an understanding of my unnatural desires to chase young women and have not done anything since. While I thoroughly enjoyed the book and the information it holds, especially about being honest and open with each other and knowing what your budget and expectations are. I urge anyone trying to do this to exercise caution about how much information you share with anyone on your journey. All it takes is one bitter person to mess up your life.

Interesting title to the book and it had an interesting cover, so I decided to give it a read. The book is very basic; somewhat of a beginner's guide to being a Sugar Daddy. I have not hit that point in my life, but for those who have, it could be a good book to get you started. The author covers various topics of how to meet that special lady (sugar babe), how to go into the negotiation process and finally how to end things when they get to that point. Again, very interesting read and for those who are ready to start their journey, it's a good reference guide. Good luck to you. YMMV.

Overall, this is a great short and to the point guide to sugar dating, from the daddy's side. The author, rightly, focuses on online search, then turning it into an IRL relationships. Most of the advice is solid and real world. (Some of his gimmicks are a little cheesy, but every man has his way of getting women's attention.)That said, a few warnings:1.) The book is a little dated. At a decade in the past, the monetary amounts he mentioned aren't even close to real world now.2.) For the love of God: proof-read! None of the typos, misspellings, and punctuation fails were a huge issue, but it is just sloppy and amateurish. (I've written and edited in my professional life, so this just drives me nuts.)3.) The author only really mentions one online community. He does mention there are others, but provides no detail. This one isn't a big show stopper because, imho, the one he mentioned works, while the rest are largely garbage.4.) While the author very accurately described the archetypes of the women you will encounter (e.g., college student, single mom, bored/lonely middle age woman, et al.), I feel he really should have devoted a little time to the category I call "train-wreck". I'm sure it varies depending on where one is, but there are legions of women who are in need of companionship and financial help simply because their life is a chaotic mess, generally of their own making. The gals with criminal records, substance abuse problems, and untreated mental health issues are a real downer, and potentially a serious problem. Many are obvious enough to avoid, while others less so. And they present, at best, a waste of time, and, at worst, some real ugliness.All and all, good intro, but the book needs to be updated and tightened up. And, naturally, a little forewarning to would be suitors to darker side of this scene would help.

This book answered all my questions about being a sugar daddy, a must read for all interested in becoming a sugar daddy

Excellent book. I learned something in every chapter. It has narrowed my focus and made me more confident. The recommendation about 21 as a minimum age resonates. Perhaps there can be more on the ways to make arrangements and negotiate. The book also could use a copy editor -- there are missing words and other issues. But I've learned a lot here that is now part of my strategy from the first e-mail to the first meeting to the first sign things have stopped going well.

I liked how the author broke down sugaring to a science. I’m a younger guy who also is going through a divorce and just have 0 interest in trying the ordinary dating life again and this spoke to me. I chose this rating because I couldn’t put the read down. It was easy to follow, not too long and not too short. Worth the money spent!

Having had some experience in the sugar bowl myself, I must say that William Richardson has covered all of the basics and then some. I'd love to see a follow-up book that details some of his great (and not so great) experiences.
