Reacting to Sugar Haters

You may have heard someone say, haters gonna hate. Is it so easy to not react when someone slams the sugar way of life you have come to enjoy? Probably not, but you don’t have to let it hurt you, either.  Some individuals come at the sugar lifestyle, and individuals associated with it, without understanding they are harming anyone. Sometimes it may be somebody who has the security of voicing their idiocy fromthe security of the Internet. Other times, it might be a guy who is salty about the fact that he can’t be a Sugar Daddy. Or it could simply be somebody who is jealous of you. It might be simpler said than done to inform you to not let it get to you. At the end of the day, the only individual whose opinion matters is your very own (not even your Sugar Daddy’s opinion is as important as yours!). Regardless of whether you are just dipping your toe in the sugar bowl, or have actually been in the life a while, understanding how to deal with things that we hear often can be helpful.

Gold Digger

One of the most common things we hear is that Sugar Babies only care about the money. If it were just about getting cash, you probably wouldn’t be considering being in the sugar bowl. Think of a Sugar Daddy (or possible Sugar Daddy) – is cash the only enticing element?  For most of us, it’s about security and having a better lifestyle than we could achieve alone.

Young and Dumb

There are those that assume a Sugar Baby is just not smart enough to earn money the traditional way with a job or can’t hold a job.  However, there are many Sugar Babies who, also, pursue a career.  Being a Sugar Baby isn’t minimizing your intelligence – it’s genuinely about knowing how to value yourself as a person. Instead, being a Sugar Baby is a quite wise move! Being a Sugar Baby isn’t just about looks, either – it takes a smart, creative, and amusing lady to do this, one simply like you.

Simply a High-Class Hooker

Something I heard often when I first started out as a Sugar Baby was that I was various words for a woman of the street. If someone tries relating what you do as a Sugar Baby with prostitution, try to not get mad (in truth, your anger may be precisely the response that they are looking for – so, attempt to remain level headed if you experience this type of action from someone). Don’t shame somebody for their choice, if they pick the path of a prostitute.  But you should hold your head high, smile, and either ignore them or gently correct their assumptions.  You don’t owe anyone any explanations, though.


Another common misunderstanding is that Sugar Babies put on an act and don’tactually care about their Sugar Daddies. Does that mean that it’s a failing if you aren’t in love with your Sugar Daddy? What feelings are going on in your relationship is for you and your Sugar Daddy to decide – if anybody else wants to understand, you can merely smile and ask, why is that so crucial to understand?

Just get a Job.

Now, what do you say if somebody rolls their eyes at you and suggests that rather of being a Sugar Baby, you get a real job? Maybe react and ask them to define exactly what a genuine job is. Again, you are totally free to inquire why this is so crucial to them to know. You may ask if they enjoy their own job. Usually, when people discuss a job, they aren’t talking about something they delight in doing. A career is another matter. There are various types of jobs that individuals hold – some individuals like to work 60 hours a week, while others are straight 9-5ers, and yet others prefer the independent life. What is important is that you enjoy life, more than just being happy, and are getting your costs paid – besides that, what do they have to understand (and rather frankly, they don t even have to understand that!)? Probably, they see you living the way of life and the freedom they wish they had and want to bring you down to their level.

Bad Example for other Women

Among the most disturbing things for me to hear, as someone with an extensive background in women’s studies, was that by being a Sugar Baby I wasn’t a feminist. Now, if anyone states that to you, please feel free to shut them down. Actually, do not hesitate to ask them exactly what they think makes a feminist.  They probably have a misguided notion of what being a feminist means.  As women, we’re often judged for what we do and what we don’t do, and it can seem like there’s no way to win because there’s always someone ready to criticize you. Remember, at the end of the day, the only person that you have toplease is yourself; you aren’t living your life for somebody else. Feminism for me has a lot to do with empowerment and being a Sugar Baby empowered me in more methods than I can count. Plus, somebody knocking me for my options is very anti-feminist.

You may hear all sorts of other things – some horrible, and some will be empowering and wonderful. You may end up hearing good friends who tell you that they wish they could do this. You can decide with time who you wish to tell and who you don t. If you’re anything like me, you will end up with good friends who ask you with wide-eyed looks about exactly what it’s like (I recommend just answer what you are comfortable with others understanding). You may also wind up learning that other friends of yours are associated with the sugar life too! Keep in mind, as long as what you are doing is safe and makes you happy, it shouldn’t matter to anybody else what you are doing.
