To think that this is deeply dodgy?

sugar daddy parties

I'd rather have a doughnut, tbh.

Why the assumption that this event is for people who are single? I would imagine at least some of the men aren't. So "nice couples" may be ruined.

Who cares? If "nice couples" are ruined because one or both parties attending are already in relationships, it's hardly the fault of the event organisers.

Event organisers being brothel madams?!

Abs seems to.

I would say so breathes - if you're a SAHP being supported by the other parent, to provide childcare etc., then yes. that is hugely different to dating someone purely because you want to spend their cash.

Relationships are often transactions of some sort, though. Nothing wrong with that as long as all concerned are clear about what they are offering and what they expect in return (social credibility in return for ego-stroking/sex and physical beauty in exchange for financial support/children and the means to support them in exchange for domestic service).

Cuntry - do you really think you are incognito with that new monikker? Spotted you days ago!

To be honest, if the men are stupid enough to go along and be used for their money, then more fool them.

The women are laughing all the way to the bank - and only doing for money what some do for free

My problem with this would be that the a percentage of men attending would undoubtedly be married and cheating.

Other than that they all are just shallow users really....

If a girl settled with one of these men, the paranoia of being replaced in time by a younger fitter model would be extremely stressful....

It's not as if any of these men are the types you could sit unfront of the telly with in your pants, picking your feet...you'd spend life in a state of constant pretence.

I'd shudder if I caught my niece here....

If I'm honest I find it depressing

Why bother filling our dds heads with education and tell them if you work hard you can achieve your goals- personally and financially. While the media/ society is busy telling them- nah, you'll do better, quicker if you just hook up with a rich bloke. It all seems sordid and sad to me, and an indictment of how grabby and shallow things have become.

YY, jooly - it's like some kind of social regression - sod all this emancipation of women business, just find a rich bloke to take care of you and you'll be fine.
