Young women have more to offer older men besides looks alone. Many men love the energy they have, the fun liveliness that is usually lacking in their own lives. Even a young girls naive nature can prove very attractive when compared with the cynicism often found in older women. There's a playfulness — a lack of the seriousness that can sometimes accompany being an adult and having responsibility. And, for some men, there's the fact that these young girls look up to them — as father figures and as mentors. That, in and of itself, is very attractive.



For her, older men can offer a more worldly view of life that she can learn from, a chance to discuss issues that her generation are not interested in.

With this sugar daddy relationship, with the man acting as a sort of father or mentor figure, the relationship may eventually go different directions. She may want to establish a more independant life and find less need to depend on him as time goes by.

This is not really the only type of sugar daddy stereotype. Many women who are independant, have their lives and careers well planned out, and while not needing or wanting a father figure, still find the stability, wisdom, and maturity of an older man attractive. This type of sugar daddy relationship will have more potential to be longer term.

There is more compatibility in this type of relationship, as the dependance by the woman is less, they are more likely to have shared interests and probably have more commitment to making it work.

Obviously with any sugar daddy relationship, the focus is on mutual benefit. When both parties are able to alter these as their relationship grows and changes, then the potential is for a rewarding and long-term partnership. Both just need to be aware of the issues that can arise and threaten the balanced relationship they currently enjoy.
