I hated men at the time, so I thought, "I'll just get paid to be gorgeous."
When we're young, broke, and in college, there are very few things that we aren't willing to do for a little extra beer money. Livi, a post-collegiate podcaster who lives in NYC was no exception when she was a fresh young 18 year old in the city. Like every other college freshman, she took on a side hustle in order to bring in some extra dough, however, for Livi, that involved going on dates with rich men for money. Yes, she was a sugar baby.
While doing her extensive makeup routine, Livi released a video rehashing the details of her sugar baby years and the details are infuriating for many reasons, but not at all what you would think. Livi actually enjoyed being a sugar baby and the money was insanely good for a kid her age, however, her man at the time, a toxic, on-again-off-again boyfriend, became an obstacle to her financial climb. In fact, this same ex boyfriend was the reason she sought out sugar-babydom in the first place! While on a break with her toxic ex, she started going on dates with men for money.
Because she was supporting herself financially through college, Livi took on dating men for money through a website along with some of her other broke friends and made a decent living out of it. She went on a couple nice dates per week with a man who was kind, not creepy, and truly seemed like a lonely person who just wanted female company every now and then. Disclaimer: Livi says she never slept with anybody or did anything physical with any of these men, she simply got paid $500 for a free meal and conversation with a guy. WOW.
Some of the guys she dated were quirky and odd— one man even did a quick palm reading for her that told an eerily accurate future.
The second Livi starts making some real money, things with her boyfriend got complicated.
Livi runs into a problem with the boyfriend— he didn't take it well and couldn't believe she was already being a sugar baby on the side before they'd gotten back together. DRAMA. Sure the boyfriend is possessive, but it's not like he was making money for the two of them either, so in Livi's mind, she was being the provider for both of them.
Finally, Livi decided to give up her sugar baby days in order to preserve her relationship with this boyfriend. Years later, things are a bit more obvious in Livi's eyes since she's no longer dating a toxic controlling guy (was he toxic for not wanting her to be a sugar baby or for several other reasons?). Livi is not remorseful at all about her sugar baby years, but it seems like she regrets dating that guy for as long as she was, especially since she made so many life decisions on his terms and for his benefit.
