TheSugarBook, Asia’s First Sugar Dating Site Has Launched Its Mobile App

If the term sugar dating still sounds a little Greek to you, then allow me to explain.

To put it simply, a sugar relationship is one where a sugar daddy (typically a rich, older man) offers financial support and pampers a younger companion.

Sugar dating 101 sites usually refer this type of relationship as a casual, no strings attached one.

It is common knowledge that most sugar daddies are usually looking for temporary, fuss-free companionship with compatible, good looking women

However, a common misconception about sugar daddies is that they’re mostly old, unattractive rich men. The truth, however, might be far from it. A quick check on most sugar dating apps will have you know that a large number of sugar daddies are usually pretty decent looking men in their 30s and 40s – if the term silver fox rings a bell!TheSugarBook says that men must fulfil these two important criteria if they want to be sugar daddies:

Meanwhile, a sugar baby, who is most often on the receiving end of the material benefits, is defined as someone who has clear goals (money, companionship, connections, etc.) and knows how to communicate it well

While many may say that sugar babies are just gold digging divas who want easy money, most sugar dating apps stress that those qualities are the exact opposite of what a sugar baby is.Here’s what it takes to be a sugar baby, according to TheSugarBook:

TheSugarBook provided us with some interesting statistics about the users on the app. This is basically the gist of it:

The thing is, there’s a lot of stigma tied to sugar dating and most people will shun the idea of it ever being equated to a normal, healthy relationship, but one of the sugar daddies on TheSugarBook says it’s a lot like regular dating

“I guess there are many similarities. In my previous relationship, I paid for everything – from dining out to holidays and even our rent. We were together for five years and talking about marriage before she cheated on me.“The only difference between sugar dating and regular dating would be that my emotions are not invested in sugar dating. When my ex cheated on me, I was too damaged emotionally to care about how much money I’ve spent on her,” said *Dan, a 38-year-old who runs a startup.

However, things are a little different for *Aaron, a 50-year-old widower. He was married to his high school sweetheart who died of cancer about five years ago before turning to sugar dating.

He tried seeking for companionship from regular dating apps like Tinder, but soon realised that he’s basically at the “bottom of the dating barrel” due to his age.Ever since my wife passed away, I’m finding it quite lonely as we used to do everything together.“Other dating sites or apps make me feel like a dirty old man for trying but on TheSugarBook, the sugar babies I have met are very courteous and accommodating, I suppose due to the nature of sugar dating.

Another sugar daddy, *Calvin, says sugar dating works perfectly for him because he’s always liked younger women

“Everyone on TheSugarBook is there for the same reason – girls to get financial and emotional support as well as networking opportunities, while men seek younger women, fun, and dating with no strings attached.a committed sugar relationship or normal relationship or whatever society cares to label it,” said the 40-year-old entrepreneur in the hospitality and luxury cars dealership industry.Note: All names have been changed to protect the privacy of the individuals.
