The Sugar Mommy is defined as rich women who are older than 35 and like dating younger men. In my opinion, being a sugar mommy is a lifestyle.
The most perceived reasons for young men to go into “sugar mommy” relationships are for acceptability (wants to be accepted), love and survival.
For some, dating someone who is considerably older or younger is not out of the question. A woman who gravitates to older men, may find them more attractive, mature, and stable. She may think an older man is well suited to her tastes because she wants to be cared for in a style she imagines she deserves. An older man on the other hand, may like the way he feels with a young girl on his arm (ego booster), considering himself her mentor and willing to father her along until she reaches the age of reason. An older woman dating a young man 15 years her junior may not see a problem, until the gossip from her circle of friends comes along: “She’s found a new toy boy.”
Honestly sometimes its genuine love with no expectations at all. Sometimes older women tend to be bossy, especially when faced with the immaturity of her partner she will slip into the role of a Diva, giving orders, scheduling his day, or even dressing him to complement her outfits.
While age gaps of five to eight years may not prove to too big to have a successful relationship, especially for those over the age of 30, age gaps of fifteen years or more present a very real psychological dilemma, one of inequality. It will be obvious to those on the outside looking in that the relationship is out of balance and socially inappropriate, but for a couple who has fallen in love they may lack the insight and maturity to foresee the problems ahead.
Here’s one couple that fell inlove and even got married.
