Michael Daly of the New York Daily News writes how hard economic times have affected the 'high end girlfriend' and their rich schlubs. It's all true, and more.
rich schlub: guy who couldn't get noticed in high school, but is, shall we say, now financially endowed
high end girlfriend: high quality girlfriend but who must be affordable and who is sometimes really a homecoming queen with no father, and trying hard to stay in grad school
high end girlfriend index: chart measuring hard times for high end girlfriends
sugar daddy: guy who doesn't mind paying for a particular relationship
sugar baby: girl who has a sugar daddy
Daly writes that hard economic times mean romantic interludes may be too costly even for many rich schlubs. There's actually a person (a lawyer, of course) who Daly says has become the go-to guy about these 'special' relationships, especially when they encounter problems. Usually it is the high end girlfriend who has been promised certain things, relied on them, and she contacts her attorney, Edward Hayes, a former Bronx homicide prosecutor, when those promises are broken. The attorney/sometimes actor charts what he calls the High End Girlfriend Index. He is said to be an astute observer of social archetypes, including a particular sort of schlub who was invisible to girls in high school but became a magnetic figure thanks to the magic of millions - and reports that the index is off the charts.
While the rest of the world is married, calling family meetings to discuss tightening the family belts, we're seeing some short, ugly 40-year-old guys throwing over their high-quality girlfriends, because they can't afford them anymore.
I've known all about the high end girlfriend. These girls have doors opened for them that the rest of us can enter only through hard work. Society has created this - studies have shown that prettier women get favored treatment. The high end girlfriend relies on this, knows it to be her lifestyle.
Some of these girls are combining their smarts and their good looks, the strippers resorting to selling their favors as they pursue their law degree. Really.
Some of these girls are regular women otherwise but economic times have them putting ads in internet sites that help them connect with 'sugar daddys'.
I personally know a Florida woman who negotiated a sugar daddy relationship involving $5,000 a month/three to four visits a week. It was a positive situation for both of the people evidently, and she ended it after two and a half months, once she was caught up with her bills. She says she'd do it again, if she had to, but knows she was lucky in her results. She also says she hopes she never has to do it again. (Yes, I was aghast that someone would pay this! Yes, I asked every question you could think of; it was a source of great interest for me. Yes, it is exactly what you think it is, sex but it is also, a friend to hang with, to do things with, with a price tag attached.)
Times are tough for all of us, evidently, even high end girlfriends and their rich schlub boyfriends. I'm awkward at a guy buying me dinner, but that is probably because I was married for 26 years and still feel like I'm cheating on my husband.
The benefit for me about all of this knowledge is to use the quirky sexy overtones and try to integrate them into my love life, enjoying my partner as if it were more of a 'special' relationship, if you get my drift. Have fun in life with your loved one, treat them as if they are your 'sugar daddy' and you are the 'sugar baby' from time to time. Seeing ourselves through a different lens can be most fun. Enjoy!
