There are all sorts of relationships in the world, with big age gaps becoming common in today’s society. However, one woman has said that, even though she’s only 22, the best man who ever paid to date her was in his 60s.
Skylar Mae, from Scottsdale, Arizona, worked with sugar daddies when she was 18 to help raise extra cash. At the time, she was at dental school, and she was working towards developing a career in the field, but things soon changed when she started making saucy content online.
What started out as a side hustle ended up taking off for her so much that she turned it into a career, and she eventually left dental school to make the most of it. Now, she’s opened up about how it all changed as, prior to her recent role, she was paid to date men who were sometimes decades older.
Skylar, who boasts over four million followers on Instagram, said: “I always say there are two different types of sugar daddies. There are the cool ones who just want you as arm candy, to take you out to dinner or coffee or have you riding passenger with them.
“Then there’s the other kind that’s more on the creepy side, who obviously want sexual favours. I thought being a sugar baby was fun, but I didn’t like having a man so in control of my money, depending on whether I went to see him or not.”
However, now she’s in more control of what she does, as she’s changed direction and moved to content creation. She explained: “Overall, having a sugar daddy isn’t bad, it just really depends on who it is.”
In her opinion, some of the older men who she saw were “the best”, even though they may have been more than three times her age. The oldest man she ever worked with was decades older than her.
Skylar explained: “He was in his mid-60s, and he was actually really cool. He was probably my favourite because he wasn’t looking for anything sexual.
“He just wanted company, someone to spend time with. I honestly felt really bad for him. I really did.
“But he was such a good time, and there was nothing weird towards me at all. He made me feel so comfortable, and we still chat back and forth to this day.”
Even though the arrangement may surprise some, Skylar said people can stereotype sugar babies – who are people, typically younger, who receive money, gifts, mentorship or lifestyle benefits from older, wealthier partners – in the wrong way. In her opinion, it all comes down to the situation you want to be in, as she was never prepared to be intimate.
“Some girls want to get paid just for hooking up, and I can see why people look at that and think of it as prostitution, yes,” she explained. “But there are also sugar babies who build real relationships with someone, where it turns into more of a boyfriend and girlfriend dynamic, and he takes care of you.
“I don’t see anything wrong with that, but I also understand why people might think it’s wrong when it’s more like meeting up with someone for one night and getting paid. I think the stereotype gets blown out of proportion, and it really just depends on how you look at it.”
While she admits some men offer money to have sex, which is something she would never do, there are others who will pay hundreds of pounds just to meet for a coffee and get to know you. From there, it can progress to going out for dinner and, if you really like them, it can turn into more of a “dating situation”.
“It becomes more like a boyfriend and girlfriend experience,” she added. “With benefits and financial support but, again, there are sugar daddies who just pay for sex, which is a very different situation.
“I’ve also gone on dates where we just get coffee, hang out and they pay me for my time.” However, she said you do have to be cautious when working in the field.
She added: “You don’t always know what you’re walking into. I think meeting someone more organically is safer, because you can actually assess them and ask yourself ‘why is this man still single at this age?’ That tells you a lot.”
Skylar said, when it comes to her personal dating preferences, she has always been drawn to older men over those her own age though.
“I would never date a guy my age, they’re just too immature mentally,” she added. “I’m way more attracted to older men who know what they want and take the lead.”
