10 Questions to Ask a Pot, BEFORE Starting an Arrangement:
Its more common than we admit, that when we first begin to communicate with a ârich and generousâ Pot, that we tend to tread lightly as we donât want to (or are scared to) rock the boat. In my opinion, thats just bullshit. If Iâm putting my time, my body, safety, energy, goals and dreams, plus my physical and mental health on the line, you better believe I want some answers first before crossing any lines and agreeing to any arrangement.
Itâs important to ask thought provoking questions (not just the make-us-look-cute-small-talk kinda questions) and to really pay attention to their responses. Are they sincere, well thought out and organized answers or are they taking pick-up lines straight out of a book that could possibly be called âHow To Get Laid For Freeâ
If I was talking to a Pot (or any man or woman at any stage) and they were offended/outraged or even hesitant to answer any of the questions listed belowâŚthat would give me something to think about. After-all, its not like I would be asking them to start a formal judicial hearingâŚI just want to know what Iâd be getting myself into. Plain and simple.
1) Why are you looking for a Sugar Baby, and not a girlfriend?
* Maybe he doesnât fully realize what a Sugar Baby is, and just thinks youâll be a girlfriend that he has to pay for all your dinners together and get the popcorn while youâre out at the movies? Itâs happened before. This is a simple way to put it out there, that there is going to be a definite difference between you and a girlfriend.
2) So far, (because its still new) what is your favourite aspect about me?
* This is important. If he is blunt and says âits your intelligenceâ, then go get some current news articles, or popular and classic books and stay informed my friend! If he says âits your athletic abilityâ, take him out to play beach volleyball on a nice day, or go to the gym together for a date. If he says âits your chestââŚwell then, thatâs up to you to either play it up or smack him. In my opinion, I would do whatever I felt worked to keep him hookedâŚbut without affecting my self esteem or self worth. His role is to help lift you up in life, not hold you down.
3) What are 3 passions that you used to enjoy and what are some new ones that you currently do?
* This will give you an opportunity to enliven some of your dates by sharing his past passions with him, and by making sure that even if you donât enjoy his current onesâŚthat you make the effort to either watch or participate in them for him. He will feel valued and itâll help strengthen your bond if you can connect with things that he enjoys. Who knows, maybe he has given up on certain passions in life because his wife or current girlfriend hates them. Itâs an easy and fun âinâ for you.
4) What goals are you working towards now?
* A man without a goal(s) is a scary thing. There is not one person in this world who can honestly say that they have completed all of their lifeâs goals and can now sit on their butt, twiddling their thumbs for the rest of their life. Goals do not need to glamorous, extensive or expensive. They can be the very smallest of things, but to me, a person without a goal has no drive, lacks motivation and doesnât have that âgustoâ in life that Iâm looking for. PLUS, if someone has no goals or lacks the desire to create oneâŚhow can I expect them to be understanding of, and to support me in achieving mine?
5) If we were ever seen out in public together, how would you want me to handle the situation. What could I expect from you?
* I have had this talk before with my SD, and thankfully so! There have been times where we have been out together and we have run into (or close to it) someone that we knew. Thankfully we donât play in the same social circles, so it helps to limit our chances. One of our easiest âcover storiesâ is manageable because I am his daughters age. If someone comes up to us, I politely say something like this âOh, Iâve kept you long enough. Please tell Tina that I said hi, and it was nice running into you!â And then I politely make my way somewhere else and just send him a text of where I am or whatever it is that Iâll be doing to keep me busy until he is in the clear. And I wait patiently. I do not send 20 texts and carry on a conversation with him. At this point in the game of privacyâŚI no longer exist, right ladies?
6) If we were to have a âsleep overâ, would you be ok with me taking some time to myself? What do you feel would be an appropriate amount of time to ourselves before coming back together?
* Trust me, if youâre like me, youâll want your own space so that you have time to relax, unwind, clean up, catch up on texts/messages, have a nap, enjoy a tea etc. He may be the type of person who doesnât want or need to have time apart, but that doesnât mean that you should hide/ignore your need for some space. If you do not have some sort of understanding beforehand, it could get ugly if you begin to get annoyed at or with him. I most definitely need my âmeâ time and Iâm very upfront about it. Its simply easier to have the conversation and expectations agreed to BEFORE you decide to spend 24 hours together.
7) When we text, are there certain words/language/innuendos that youâd prefer to avoid?
* If he is the ânervous first time SDâ or if he has a curious wife/spouse, you may need to help him feel at ease, by stating that you respect this part of your arrangement and that you want to work with him to keep any suspicions to a minimum. It could help to relax you and him, if you both know what the rules and expectations are when communicating. You donât want to be saying things like âOk sweetie, Iâll see you tomorrow and Iâll wear the red dress you bought me. XOââŚand his wife has access to his phone. That could back fire on you both, not just him. Itâs simple and easy to create code words/sentences. For example: if you want to say âThinking of you, good nightâ, you could say something like âIâll see what Jackson says tomorrowâ. And youâll both know what it really means, and if anyone happens to pick up his phone and read it, its harmless and safer to cover/explain.
Remember not to take it personal that you are a hidden aspect to his life, that sometimes youâre simply not allowed to exist, that you are a âsecretââŚbecause you are. Do you want him as an SD or not? There are just some things that we need to put our pride aside for and do to keep their lives running smoothly, so that our lives do as well.
8) If I ever needed extra financial help, for whatever reason, and I felt that I wanted/needed to ask you for your assistance, how would you prefer me to ask? Subtly or straight to the point?
* Some men are turned off by feeling like a bank machine, while others get turned on by it. Itâs important to know which kind of response you could expect from him by asking for extra help. This way, youâll have a better idea of how best to use your allowance when you get it. If heâs not the easy going-extra-help-kinda-guy, there is nothing wrong with that at allâŚit simply means that you need to prioritize your wants over needs and use your allowance, or money that he does give to you, responsibly.
Some arrangements have more wiggle room for âextrasâ while others are based on strict numbers and rules. If you do feel that you are going to ask for extra supportâŚstart small and assess his responses/reactions to you. Youâll get a feel of whether you should push the boundaries or simply enjoy the benefits of what you already share with him. âDonât throw away a dime in search of 10 penniesâ.
9) What is the safest way for you to give me my allowance, so that you donât feel stressed each month in trying to hide it from your wife/girlfriend?
* If he doesnât know whatâs the safest way, he may be a ping-pong ball while he uses/tries different methods and amounts, until he can get it all figured out. This actually does take some time to plan safely and effectively, and most new SDâs donât give it the due planning that it requires. Are you going to be patient and understanding with him? Or are you going to start heckling him and demanding quicker transactions? Either way, itâs best to have a conversation about it, and get it all sorted out before your allowance day arrives, and you have 3 bills to payâŚwhile youâre waiting for him to do a google search on âemail transfersâ.
10) I recently watched a documentary on the Sex Industry and Iâd like to hear your thoughts and opinions on both those who offer their services and on those who seek them?
* This is an easy opener to get the ball rolling for more questions on this topic. It will also give you some insight into his biases, narcissism and his general opinion on where you stand in your âarrangementâ with him. Is he negative towards the Sex Industry or is he a whatever floats your boat kinda guy?
SoâŚthat about sums it up for today!
Of course, I realize that there are a ton of other questions that you could ask a Pot/SD etc, that all relate to things like allowance amount, allowance frequency, sexual expectations, gifts or no gifts, sexual health history, previous Sugar arrangements, any marital issues that he is seeking your comfort/assistance for etc etc, but at some point I need to stop today lol. Iâm actually missing one of my favourite shows to write this. So, I hope that this list helps in some teeny-tiny way, and if anything, it gets your mind thinking of other possible scenarios that you may want to consider before agreeing to an arrangement with anyone.
