Women sometimes wonder what makes a man turn to the sugar lifestyle, especially when they see or regard him as successful and attractive. Why would he want to spend his money on sugar dating? The answer is simple: it shortcuts the bullshit that comes with vanilla dating. You know what she wants. She knows what I want. Both sides are just trying to see if we like each other and can come to an agreement
I think you are mistaken here. In Ukraine and Israel, there is immense interest, and there was significant concern about the election results (though from different perspectives). In these places, people have a very high level of 'skin in the game' — I would dare to say almost as much as U.S. citizens. In Israel, there is a widespread belief, and I think it’s correct in this case, that the continued rule of progressive Democrats could lead to the very destruction of the State of Israel. In Ukraine, the position is the opposite, or at least different. Anyone in Ukraine who wants the war against Russia to continue — even if it’s a crazy and futile war (in my opinion) — prayed for the Democrats to win
In the sugar world, the narrative often revolves around young, single college students, but the reality is much more nuanced. Women in their 30s and early 40s—divorcees or even married mothers—find their place in these arrangements, balancing family, work, and self-care with the connection and stability an SD offers.
I once had a benefactor-mistress relationship with a remarkable woman in her mid-30s. She shared her journey into this world, entering after years in a draining marriage where her sacrifices were taken for granted. Caring for three traumatized children from her ex-husband’s prior relationship had left her feeling invisible and undervalued. Stepping into an arrangement didn’t just ease her financial burdens—it reignited her confidence, made her a more patient mother, and gave her space to rediscover her own worth.
Her story mirrored that of others I’ve encountered. Another woman, nervous yet curious, confided in me about juggling motherhood with an arrangement. The need for discretion, societal judgment, and the challenge of balancing these worlds weighed on her. But the results? A happier, more fulfilled version of herself.
The truth is, the best SBs aren’t necessarily young and carefree. Life experience, emotional intelligence, and the maturity of motherhood can add unmatched depth to these relationships. In a world obsessed with stereotypes, these women redefine the narrative. They prove that age and circumstance don’t disqualify you—they often make you better.
Sanctuary cities are a direct affront to federal law. Remember that Biden actually tried to prevent Texas from enforcing immigration law - arguing only the feds could do it.
So ‘sanctuary’ cities preventing enforcement of federal law should be sidelined with force.
@FischerKing64 You're looking at this, in my view, from the wrong angle. The reason we've reached this point—with unchecked progressivism permeating everywhere—is rooted in the inherent weakness of the American white male. Let's not forget, in 2008, Obama won the majority among white voters
The United States is about to become a vastly superior place to do business. We are already the safest and most militarily capable country in the world making us an extremely attractive place to live and raise a family in an increasingly dangerous world.
These facts have not gone unnoticed by successful people around the world who are not happy with what their own countries have become, and how their governments have turned against their hardest working and most successful citizens.
The problem with our immigration system is that it takes years for the talented, hard-working, successful, law-abiding immigrants to get in, and it takes only days for illegal migrants to cross the border and enter the country. We need to reverse this absurdity.
Imagine if we could vet applicants who wanted to bring their talents and resources here in a 45-60 day process as long as they met certain standards for excellence and character. This is not a particularly challenging problem and that’s before comparing it with catching a Super Heavy rocket with chopsticks.
We could open the floodgates for entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, makers, designers and more who could replace the illegal migrants and those who have been consuming resources and bringing crime to our cities and towns.
The new immigrants would be force multipliers, bringing and building businesses which will drive our economy and employment. Consider the impact of deporting one criminal migrant and replacing him with a technology engineer and then do the multiplication.
The positive impact on our economy and growth rate would be extraordinary. Think Israel after its Russian migration when the best and brightest scientists and engineers left oppression and helped to build start up nation.
Think the United States in the 1930s when German scientists came and enabled our rocket, missile and atomic capabilities that helped win the war and build industries thereafter.
The time has come.
Last post from the very interesting Rogan/Elon eve of election podcast. Elon explains that building things is hard. It’s intelligent teams working together solving problems - it’s not magic, or numbers on spreadsheets that academics trot out. Easy to forget this:
Fascinating analysis, yet I’m not convinced. There remains a profound difference between the United States and China—vast distinctions in culture, history (China’s long legacy), and racial homogeneity. The historical consciousness in both nations diverges sharply. True, there are deep economic ties and extensive trade links, but it’s questionable whether these aren’t part of a broader struggle: an emerging superpower with an intense historical awareness facing the U.S. It’s entirely possible that these aspects are part of a larger strategy of patient conflict, not unlike the issue of drug flow, including fentanyl, crossing into America—perhaps even with indirect encouragement from China.
Comparing the U.S.-China dynamic with Britain and Germany is not quite the same. Britain long held a clear stance against allowing any European power to dominate the continent—first with France, then with Germany. Culturally, European monarchies shared ties and bloodlines. China, however, would only launch a confrontation if and when it determines that the time has come, based on its historical perspective. If China hasn’t yet reached that decision, it’s solely because it believes the moment isn’t right. And let’s hope that moment never arrives; it’s less about a random spark and more about deliberate timing
Oil prices are dipping again, with whispers of optimism that the Israel-Iran conflict might be winding down in the Middle East. But let’s hold off on any wild conclusions. Sure, prices are cooling for now, but oil’s story is far from over. This market isn’t going anywhere. Known supplies keep dropping, and demand isn’t exactly falling off a cliff. I’m not buying at the moment, but I’ll jump in on another dip soon
I’ll be frank: I love watching my SBs grow up, finish their studies, and secure their careers. Yes, they eventually move on, but they’ll always be my SBs, and I’ll always be their mentor or benefactor.
Typically, my SBs are in the age range of 24-30, and I’m 53 now. Before people rush to judge, the context behind 'growing up' usually involves overcoming personal challenges they’ve faced, most commonly with mental health, lack of confidence, or simply a lack of opportunity. 'Finishing studies' refers to completing a university course they had already started or returning to education, which I sponsor.
IQ is maybe half the game. Super high IQ folks often lose themselves in nonsense, or they are successful as tax lawyers who are otherwise fat and ugly, or finance or entertainment guys same thing. They burn out, or just do nothing but pile up cash that they spend badly.
They forget the backbone is connected to the neck bone - and all that.
Aggressive physical fitness coupled with intellectual activity is paramount.
Many have said this in one way or another, but here is what I don’t see much - you also have to be socially acceptable. You have to temper eccentricity, know how to get along with a lot of different kinds of people, not antagonize people unnecessarily. This is the part of the dissident that is really lacking. Trashing people all day long for jokes is a lot of fun, and good even, but not enough.
Over the years, one truth has become obvious to me: yes, money, financial ability, and influence bring privileges. I admit it. I enjoy it.
There’s no difference between getting pussy and getting better interest rates or being able to fly anywhere whenever you want. Have financial power, and banks give you better deals, incredible offers flood your inbox weekly (the real struggle is rejecting most), and yes, you get a lot of bullshit too.
What many men won’t admit is that they’re drawn to women and love pussy. Even after they get married, year after year. They watch porn, secretly lust after the waitress or barista, whether they're 25 or 55. Many would, if given the chance, take that barista out, end up in her bed. It distracts them at work and wrecks their focus. They're employees, frustrated by life.
Early on, I was laser-focused. I knew chasing pussy would derail everything. Until I hit my first $5M, I knew nothing about sugar dating or being a benefactor. Then I discovered it. It’s a perfect solution. It helped me stay even more focused on business.
Work was relentless, traveling constantly between cities. When I lived in Dallas with a project in Boston, and most of my time was spent in another large NYC initiative. Brutal workload. But as a man, I had needs. Not just to get released, but to be with someone, go out, even when being in long-term relationships.
When I moved to NYC, still with a huge project in Houston, I spent several days each month there (Houston). I had someone—she was a grad student. I’d work 15-hour days in meetings and stuff, then evenings were spent with her. Amazing dinners, pressure released. Focused in the morning after.
You don’t need to chase. You’re not lusting after every other woman. The relationship dynamics are clear. While most men fantasize about the bartender or barista, I knew I could easily have her. And that kind of power—it frees up so much mental space to stay sharp in business.
Women love it. The power. The fact that, yes, you "use" them, but at the same time, you open up a new world for them. They get access to things they’ve never experienced.
