In today's economy, many women are turning to side hustles to make ends meet. Some are driving for Uber, others are selling their crafts on Etsy. But a growing number of women are finding a more unconventional way to supplement their income: sugar daddies.
A recent article in Refinery29 tells the story of a 32-year-old freelance journalist who has been using a sugar daddy to help her pay the bills. She's not alone. According to a recent survey, more than 1 million women in the United States are currently using sugar daddy websites.
For many women, the appeal of a sugar daddy is obvious. They can provide financial stability and support, without the demands of a traditional relationship. This can be especially attractive to women who are struggling to make ends meet in the gig economy.
"I'm a freelance journalist, so my income is unpredictable," says the woman in the Refinery29 article. "Having a sugar daddy means I don't have to worry about paying my rent or buying groceries."
But there are also risks associated with using a sugar daddy. Some women find themselves feeling exploited or used. Others worry about the stigma associated with this type of relationship.
Despite the risks, many women are finding that sugar daddies are a viable way to supplement their income. In a world where the gig economy is becoming increasingly precarious, sugar daddies offer a sense of security and stability.
