The Sugar Daddy Dialogue
So I had a conversation today with a male friend of mine, a facebook chat so not face to face, and I’ll say he’s not someone who knows me too well, certainly not the full idealistic, puritanical, pedantic side…. but anyway when we got to discusses the excruciatingly extortionate cost of carnival costumes this year, and the fact that feathers in a band with the theme of wings, are now at a premium, he suggested finding me a ‘Sugar Daddy’.
Needless
to say my independent feminist side was aghast, and my initial response was ‘no
way’! But then I got to thinking, ‘what
if he has a friend or acquaintance who’d be my perfect match?’ (Did I mention
my high level of optimisim??)
So I
laid out my requirements…usual things…age, fitness, attractiveness, sense of
humour…so he asked ‘married or single, or doesn’t it matter?’ I stipulated ‘single’ in no uncertain terms
and he seemed to get a bit pensive, then he said, “Do u really expect to find that kinda guy in this day and age?” and from
then on the conversation was pretty much over, with expressions of ‘good luck’ etc.
thrown in. He clearly thought I was bordering
on insanity to even expect to meet someone prepared to have an exclusive
relationship, and we didn’t even get to the ‘L’ word.
So that is apparently where we’ve reached. A woman over forty, or I suspect even over thirty, should expect to share a man with goodness only knows how many other women in
exchange for monetary gain, if she’s really lucky….and if she’s not so fortunate... in exchange
for occasional ahem 'love making' (and I’m assuming the added bonus of STDs)! Expecting any more appears to be considered
almost certifiable.
Fortunately, in my case I’m armed with eternal optimism. I do also know of a number of men who I have
on good authority, are actually absolutely single (for now) and have a number
of admirable qualities. I am pretty
content being single; however, at times I do crave the comfort of a
relationship. So I will retain my high
hopes for humanity and believe that the next man I start a relationship with
will, in fact, be single, available and have some truly loveable qualities.
At the end of the idea a Sugar Daddy as a financier is as abhorrent to me as becoming a prostitute!
