If you read the article carefully you only see deep Blue Pill Betas mentioned.
There are however other groups who have those arrangements:
1)
Very busy successful men - having such a girl on standby at a place you pay for her is convenient. Sometimes those girls even fall in love with the guys if the men are more Alpha-ish. Sugar babies actually told me so and you can read it as well on their blogs. Hoes generally don't fall for their johns, but sugar daddy stuff reaches into provider/boyfriend mode if the guy is actually attractive to her.
2)
Very old men: https://twitter.com/Tagthesponsor/status...72/video/1
If you look like this guy and are in your 70s - sexual attraction is not going to run deep. Paying for it is the only way to fuck girls like that. In my opinion in combo with diet, supplements, TRT shots, exercise & some minor beauty ops later on - a man can be seriously attractive to hot women up to age 65. Sure - you would want to make concessions and get with cougars instead of 18 year olds, but a fit 50 is still possible for a girl in her prime. But of course - nothing lasts forever.
3)
Blue Pill Beta - does not matter whether you are worth 50k or 50 mio. $ in that state. You will lead with your wallet & your Nice Guy Game and we all know how this ends. That is why the IT consultant said how disappointed he is with the experiences with women.
This stuff will likely become more common in the future as the income divide deepens and even college might only produce working poor.
And yes - the article is obviously casting a light on the girls of being extremely sympathetic and caring for their Beta simps. Reads more like an ad like a real story. But what can you expect in our times....
