I’ve been involved in sugar dating, it has allowed me have 3 previous relationships that worked out well. It often goes beyond just cash allowance, it’s mostly about mentorship, travel, and often a car or other things. 

My first sugar baby was 23. He was unemployed and struggling such school. I gave him $1000 a month and the use of a decent car. I saw him for about a year but he wisely used that time to get a job and eventually his own car.
