The romanticized image of the endlessly wealthy sugar daddy showering his companion with private jets and designer bags is fading in the face of harsh economic realities. A broad economic squeeze is impacting benefactors, who are increasingly mid-career professionals rather than just the ultra-rich, and they are finding it difficult to maintain the "G6 lifestyle."
As one article highlights, these men are now skipping their own meals to cover a sugar baby's nail appointment and lamenting that they can only afford "Delta Economy Class." This financial strain has given rise to "Splenda daddies" and "salt daddies," men who can no longer be as generous as they once were, leading to disappointment and conflict within these transactional relationships.
Sugar babies are feeling the pinch as well, with one complaining her lavish birthday expectations of a trip to the Philippines were dashed when she received a pair of headphones. This new dynamic, where "prices are getting higher, and sex is getting cheaper," has intensified the "hustle" for sugar babies. Finding a viable benefactor has become a tactical operation, with guides suggesting potential babies strategically position themselves in specific high-end locales.
These include exclusive hotel bars, the service centers of luxury car dealerships, private airport terminals, and specific seating levels at major sporting events, all in a calculated effort to "meet their next benefactor out in the wild."
However, this increased financial pressure and the inherent nature of the arrangements can lead to far more extreme and manipulative behaviors. When these "mutually beneficial" relationships break down, some sugar babies have resorted to criminal extortion and fraud.
A legal analysis of sugar dating in Singapore highlights several court cases where these tactics were employed. In one instance, a 23-year-old woman was jailed for cheating a man out of over S$8,000 after pretending to be underage. In another case, a woman filed a false rape report against her sugar daddy following a dispute over payment. Other common manipulative tactics include catfishing, lying about one's age, and, most notably, extortion by threatening to expose intimate materials or the nature of the relationship itself.
