The 7 Types of Sugar Babies

In a huge community like the bowl, it’s no wonder that there are many different sugar baby types. And that’s great news for all the sugar daddies out there: it means you’re sure to find your perfect match!

In this article, we’ll talk about 7 common types of people you’re likely to meet in the bowl. It goes without saying that there’s no way to cover all of the sugar partner types in one article. But it will give you a good sense of the amazing people you’re likely to meet as you start sugar dating.

1: The classic sugar baby

We’ve got to start with the classics! This is a sugar baby who is likely to meet all your expectations for a sugar arrangement. Here’s what we mean by that:

• They’ll show up dressed to the nines for your dates. A sugar baby knows how to wow you from the very first impression. So, they’ll always dress up for your dates, on time and ready for an engaging conversation.
• They may want to keep your relationship surface-level. Don’t be offended if it seems that your sugar baby doesn’t want to share personal details about their life. They’re here because they want the freedom and flexibility of a relationship, not a traditional partner.
• They will expect to be pampered. This is where the sugar comes in! A classic sugar baby will appreciate being treated to the finest restaurants, wines, and luxury experiences. They’ll also accept gifts in the form of spa days and high-end fashion pieces. These sugar baby types know their worth, and they’ll be loyal to any partner who meets or exceeds their expectations.
• They know how to be discreet. Experienced sugar babies are excellent at discretion. You don’t have to worry about them sharing your information online or with their social circle. To be sure, there are ways to protect yourself from having your relationship made public, but with this kind of sugar baby, you’ll have an extra layer of anonymity to count on.
• They have their own life to live, but will always make time for their sugar daddy. A classic sugar baby is independent enough not to make you feel obligated to care for them. They’re reliable, self-sufficient, and just looking for a little extra flair in their life.

2: The ambitious career builder

Many sugar babies are putting themselves through college or a graduate program like law or business school. Others are committed to climbing the ranks in their current field. These are one of the sugar baby types that are most interesting to have in your life as a businessperson or entrepreneur, yourself. They’ll be able to appreciate how much you’ve accomplished in your own line of work. And, they’ll welcome any kind of advice you can offer them about how they can make a name for themselves in their field.

If you’re able to put this kind of sugar baby in contact with important people in their career path, they’ll be eternally grateful. Keep them in mind the next time you have a work event that comes with a “Plus One.”

3: The sophisticated socialite

Some sugar babies know exactly how to turn heads when they walk into a room. It’s not just their amazing fashion sense and good looks. They also have the charm and je ne sais quoi that makes everyone gravitate towards them.

If you’re the kind of person who spends a lot of time in social settings, this is a partner who will make every event more enjoyable. Not only will you have someone engaging to talk to all evening, but they’ll also know how to put in a good word for you when they go off on their own to mingle and network.

4: The adventurous traveler

If you travel often for work, or you’re simply an avid adventurer, you’ll love getting to know sugar babies who also have the travel bug. Whether you whisk them off to a week in the Maldives, or need someone to keep you company for a weekend trip to New York, they’ll be ready with a bag packed and maybe even some snacks for the plane.

Finding a travel companion is the perfect way to revive your love for exploring while also making those work trips exciting again. Your sugar baby might even introduce you to new experiences and perspectives while traveling together!

5: The sugar baby scammer (beware!)

Unfortunately, not all the sugar baby types that exist are people you want to spend time with. And, the fact is, there are some who are out to take advantage of you.

Here are a few red flags to be aware of:

• There’s something off about their profile. Fake sugar baby profiles are likely to use stock images and information that sounds fishy. When you do start chatting with them, it will become immediately obvious that you’re talking with a bot. If this happens, it’s always a good idea to stop communication immediately and report the profile.
• They don’t seem interested in meeting you in person. Sure, it’s reasonable for a sugar baby to want to get to know you a bit before meeting you in person. This can be a way for them to verify if you’re real and serious about building a relationship. But, if your sugar baby seems more invested in chatting with you instead of arranging a meet & greet, take it as a red flag. You should also be suspicious of a sugar baby who asks for gifts before meeting you.
• They ask for personal information. There’s no legitimate reason why a sugar baby should want your personal information. They may be interested in using this info to steal your identity or blackmail you. So, if a potential partner starts asking you questions that make you uncomfortable, don’t feel obligated to move forward with a relationship.

6: The good listener

You might meet quite a few sugar babies who are good at carrying on a conversation, making you laugh, and learning about your life. But the Good Listener Partner takes this to the next level. Every time you see them, you feel like you’re able to speak without judgment or fear of rejection. And they always seem to know just the right questions to ask to help you dig a little deeper.

Spending time with a good listener will make you feel understood and validated, which is a powerful thing! It’s also common for these types of sugar relationships to be platonic so that you can focus more on the companionship aspect. After pouring your heart out to this kind of partner, you may not have the energy for other aspects of an arrangement!

7: The friend with benefits

This type of sugar partner is all about ease and a good time. They’re casual enough that you don’t have to worry about either of you developing feelings for one another. But, they won’t shy away from building a genuine friendship that makes you feel connected. Friends with benefits arrangements can be more sporadic than a classic sugar baby arrangement. And this can give you the flexibility to spend time with other partners or dedicate the time you need to your job and other responsibilities. At the same time, a friends-with-benefits baby may occasionally check in to see how you’re doing, and they may know more about you than other types of sugar partners.

One thing to keep in mind is that even though a friends-with-benefits partner feels like your pal, they are your sugar baby. So, they should always feel pampered and cared for just like any other type of partner.
