Most guys have often fantasized about living the life enjoyed by the likes of Hugh Hefner. Who wouldn?t want to be like Hugh, possessing the charms to attract and date beautiful young girls? In fact, a whole multi-billion dollar industry consisting of entertainment companies are fueled by such fantasies, be it publishers such as Playboy, Hustler or Penthouse, or perhaps the overnight success of the ?Girls Gone Wild? empire? While such entertainment companies profit from fantasies and desires of men, it is only recently that a new type of business have emerged to help men become just like Hugh!

In the past, those who wanted to be or to meet a Sugar Daddy had to use traditional social channels such as classifieds, personals or the usual social scenes. It is obviously not easy to walk up to someone and ask them if they?d be interested in having a sugar daddy lifestyle. Enter the new age of online dating, and not just any type of online dating, but the very specific sort that matches successful and generous Sugar Daddies with young and beautiful Playmates. Through a service such as that provided by SeekingArrangement.com, fantasies about living the Hugh Hefner lifestyle can finally become a reality.

But what does it take to becoming a successful Sugar Daddy? Is dating a playmate or sugar baby girlfriend the same as any other dating relationships? Obviously not! In fact, Sugar Daddy dating is very different. Since money is likely involved, the sugar daddy dating game is potentially full of pitfalls and landmines. After surveying hundreds of successful sugar daddies, we summarize the art of being a successful sugar daddy into four simple rules.

Rule 1: Understand what you are looking for and what you can afford.

Before jumping into the Sugar Daddy lifestyle, one must understand what they are looking for. Are you looking for just companionship and friendship, or do you expect something more? Are you just bored with the regular dating scene, and want something a little more exciting? No matter what it is you want, you need to be clear about what you are looking for and how much disposable income you have to spend on this type of lifestyle. Write down your goals and be realistic!

Rule 2: Clearly communicate what you have to offer and what you seek

Once you have figured out what you are looking for, write a good description of yourself and communicate clearly the type of relationship or arrangement you are seeking. Put on your marketing hat and think of everything good about yourself and what you have to offer ? are you charming, funny, caring, understanding, or generous? What are your hobbies, likes and dislikes? Be specific about your budget ? if you don?t have a lot to spend say so, that way you won?t attract Sugar Babies who expect too much, and if you are filthy rich, you may want to use that to attract the super gorgeous! Getting to know a person takes time, and by communicating specifically about what you are looking for and what you expect, you will save precious time which may otherwise be wasted.

Rule 3: Be honest, but careful

The internet is full of people who play games, but for the serious sugar daddy this rule says that you can lie but the truth will always reveal itself in the end. Being honest and truthful is the best way to go ? i.e., post a real and current picture of yourself instead of your picture from 20 years ago, be honest about your age, your marital status and what you are looking for. Most women are attracted to men who are truthful and honest, and for those who do not like you for who you are, lying won?t change a thing except to waste everyone?s time.

Being honest does not necessarily mean you should offer all kinds of information about yourself to a stranger. Contrary to that, we urge all serious Sugar Daddies to be cautious when sharing information that may be used against them by unscrupulous players. Those who do not heed this advice risk losing money, reputation and possibly their marriage when vengeful lovers turn against them. Trust must be earned, and as such, do not trust someone until they have proven they deserve your trust. Be certain to exercise caution and protect your privacy at all costs.

Rule 4: Don?t be manipulated, and don?t send money to strangers

Where wealthy men and women gather, so do scammers! Since sugar daddy dating normally involves money or gifts, it is important to remember never to send money to strangers and people you have not met in person. Online scammers come in many shapes and forms. The most commonly encountered are users from Russia, Nigeria, Ghana or the Philippines masking as beautiful females looking for help. There are also many local scammers, girls who pretend to be damsel in distress, asking for travel money only never to be heard from again once they receive their payoff. No matter how genuine the story may sound, the most important rule to remember is never send money to anyone you have never met!

Conclusion

Sugar daddy dating can be lots of fun! Imagine finally being just like Hugh Hefner, having sexy, gorgeous and beautiful women who genuinely want to spend time with you. But being a sugar daddy is more than about being with beautiful women? its also about having fun and enjoying all that life has to offer. Since life is short, the time to have fun and enjoy life is now. The rules laid out in this article is a good place to start, but being a successful sugar daddy takes more than just following rules ? it?s more an art than a science. Good luck in your search.
