This isn't going to be a post about my exploits in the sugar dating world. Instead, I want to take this opportunity to highlight a couple of SBs who leveraged my $$, experience, and mentorship to better themselves. I'm proud of their accomplishments, and grateful that I played a role in their success. "Leave someone better than you found them" is something I strive for, although I don't bat anywhere near 1.000 in this regard.  

Feel free to add your success stories to the thread.

SB#1
I met SB#1 a few months after she graduated from college in SoCal. She had a degree in psychology, a love for animals, and no job prospects. She was also carrying a lot of mental baggage. It stemmed from being adopted at 1 years old from an orphanage in China, enduring catty remarks about her parentage (or lack thereof) in middle school and high school, reduced self-esteem from participating in a MFM threesome with her college bf and his cousin (she pleaded cognitive dissonance when I asked why she didn't say no), and being confused about whether she was asian or white on the inside (I observed she was pink inside). In short, a perfect candidate for the sugar bowl.  

I engaged in considerable mental and physical therapy with her during weekly 1-1s over a period of 6 months. This helped her realize her true calling as a people person, not an animal person. She attended sales training courses with my monetary assistance. Fast forward 6 years later, she's a successful AE (account executive) at a well-known enterprise software company. Her total comp is well into the multiple six-figures range.  

SB#2
She graduated from college with an architecture degree two months after the COVID-19 lockdown started. The economy hadn't started recovering yet, toilet paper was in short supply, and no one knew for sure that the world wasn't going to end. Unable to get a job that covered her rent payment and living expenses in the Bay Area, she turned to the bowl. I was happy to connect with her, and fulfill her material and physical needs for almost a year. During this time, she attended a software development bootcamp at my expense. She landed a job as an apprentice software engineer shortly after graduation from the bootcamp. With my corporate ladder climbing expertise, I was able to help her land a six-figure permanent role soon after. She remains employed in that role according to LinkedIn. Unfortunately, she stopped communicating with me a few months after landing the permanent role. Assuming it's because of embarrassment at being an SB. She'd mentioned how being in an SB/SD relationship messed with her self-esteem.

The one sure thing I can point to is meeting a woman who, over the course of our relationship, was fired unjustly and won a fairly large settlement after her employer.  After many long discussions about not touching the money for 20 years, she invested $100,000 in a Schwab Index fund with reinvested dividends in around 2021.  So far she has kept her promise. If she continues, she’ll never have to worry about money again.

I can understand a SB not wanting to dwell on a relationship with a SD, but privately, what is your sense of how the SB's you've helped value you and your contributions to their lives?  Do you think they see it the same way you do?  Or, do you think they see you as a "mark" of sorts?  I ask because helping a young lady find their way and thrive in life is a strong motivator for me as well.

Kudos to you for living up to your screen name. It's further evidence that these relationships are not exploitative and can be beneficial for both sides in various ways.

Obviously there will be other stories of gals who blow the money on drugs and Jimmy Choos, but we can't win them all.

SB#1 genuinely cared for me and appreciated what I did for her. She wanted to switch to a vanilla relationship, even brought up the marriage word a couple times. Not sure about SB#2. A detail I forgot to mention is that SB#2 had an 18 month SB/SD relationship prior to me entering the picture. I suspect she was jaded and saw me as a "mark" of sorts. My gut instinct is that a first time SB has a higher likelihood of appreciating your help in finding her way in life.
