The cold mathematics of sugar daddy dating.

Quote:

Like many men who fall short of Jude Law handsome, Bruce Boston struggles on OkCupid. It probably doesn’t help that his profile describes him as a “somewhat socially awkward introvert,” his teeth as “crooked,” and his tastes as kinky and nonmonogamous. In real life, too, the 44-year-old data analyst would have a hard time competing with the other guys at this midweek house party in the Mission...

Yet Boston, sitting on the couch in the living room and nursing a ginger ale, has an advantage over most of his younger, svelter counterparts...

Boston is one of a growing number of 21st-century sugar daddies: well-off men who unabashedly pay for female companionship, friendship, and sex. And he’s probably getting more of the latter than most of the other men here.

I detest - on several levels - the "Sugar Daddy" and "Sugar Baby" terminology, but this is a really excellent read if you have a few minutes.

And it mentions Celeste and Danielle, my absolute heroes :love5::love5:
