prostitution
I'm getting to the age now where, being single, I'm starting to receive offers to be a "sugar daddy". Much like regular prostitution, I think whatever consenting adults do in private is fine, but the arrangement is simply not for me.
However, it has led me to wonder.... what happens to "sugar babies" when they age out? They'd presumably be approaching age 30 with zero job experience. How do they survive?

Nothing wrong with a prostitute if its all consenting adults, I do agree. And nothing wrong with a sugardaddy either. But yea, do whats right you thats all that matters.
Sugar babies dont necceseraly not work, though many dont. I know quite a few hookers from the netherlands as friends (its more normalized there to an extent) and many of them do it as a side job just out of love of the job. For example my one prostitute friend is a lawyer for her main job and largely does prostitution for some extra money for her hobby (ironically horse back riding, lol).
@freemo Okay, I could see that, but the "sugar" relationship tends to specifically be about a "kept" man/woman who doesn't have to work and gets bought nice things. I think a "sugar baby" having a job on the side would kind of defeat the purpose. So, I'd still be very curious to see some statistics on where they go when they age out.
Yea sugar babies/dadies are a bit different. Those are far more common to have a more feeloading kind of a scenario I agree.
Honestly in that case a person who is a sugar baby, not married, and in no way perusing a career.. yea they are kinda fucked. But if im being honest, the sort of person who would want that arrangement likely wouldnt be very good at creating a career anyway since they likely arent a very motivated person or very career oriented even without a sugar daddy.
I suspect the evolution is more like, they try to be a success in some really silly way (like influencer), everything they try fails (Cause its all stupid) and then resort to a sugar daddy out of necessity. Very few people want to be in a position that they are beholden to the generosity of another.
@louis yea i think there are people who plan ahead and do well, and those that dont. Largely these two groups are the same even if they were behaving like a sugar baby.
@freemo Or maybe, if they're smart, they *know* it's temporary and use it to fund their way through college and to build up a cash reserve for when they leave the sugar daddy.
I could easily see it go either way.
