Sugar Daddy dating services are springing up all over the internet. They connect middle age (or older) men with young women who are looking for a “Sugar Daddy.” GLBT versions of these websites are also thriving. Some “Sugar Daddy” services are only available to Daddies who are willing to verify their income and pay high prices for listings, while others cater to people of all income levels.
This week, Dr Kevin and love coach Mark Berry discuss the subjects of love, money, and Sugar Daddies. What role should money play in love relationships? And are these “Sugar Daddy” dating services helping people to find love matches, or giving prostitution a new high-tech outlet?
The statement this week is: Sugar Daddy Dating Services are another form of prostitution.
Is that statement a diamond in the rough, fertilizer with which to grow, or a load of crap? Listen to the podcast, then vote!

Prostitution always has, and probably always will, be a part of our culture. And no doubt, a certain amount of prostitution is happening with the Sugar Daddy websites.
The idea of dating websites in general has never appealed to me, as there is so much of an energy of neediness and desperation there. Not that everyone who lists themselves there is in desperation mode, but that certainly seems to be the prevailing energy. Everyone I know that has tried the Matchmaker – type sites registered out of desperation of not finding anyone they wanted to date in their own circle, and ended up with a major life lesson to untangle when the excitement of being in love faded away.
One person I know had been “putting it out to the universe” that she wanted a partner that was not bossy like her previous partner and shared her interests in metaphysics and spiritualism. She told everyone she knew. But when things didn’t happen as quickly as she hoped, she signed up with an internet dating service. And while the Universe was working as hard as it could to bring the partner she had requested into her life, she became so desperate to have a partner that she got involved with a woman from the dating service who had no interest in spiritualism, had a nasty personality, and lived over 2 hours away. This woman convinced her to pack up and move, leaving her friends, family, and church obligations in the dust. Within a few weeks after she left, I met two ladies about her age that were looking for a partner with exactly the same interest as she had. Who knows how many more potential partners the Universe was sending her direction via other friends? If she could have just been patient for a little bit longer, she most likely could have had exactly what she wanted.
So in my opinion, it’s much better to allow the Universe to bring the right person into your life at the right time than to “push the river” by using dating services to try and make things happen when you think they should instead of allowing love to happen when the timing is in everyone’s best interest.
Besides, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being single!
