Sugar baby student, 18, reveals she gets paid to date older men… and her boyfriend doesn’t mind
Winnie Mei rakes in cash and lavish gifts including designer watches to supplement income from McDonald's
AN 18-YEAR-OLD student has made thousands of pounds by charging wealthy older men to date her, despite having a boyfriend.
Winnie Mei has earned around £2,000 in four months by becoming a sugar baby - a woman who receives cash and lavish gifts in exchange for her company.
She has also been bought designer good and gadgets and enjoyed luxury breaks by the men, some of whom are married.
But her boyfriend of three years, restaurant worker Mason Chilton, 19, claims he has no problem with the way she makes money.
Winnie, who lives in Toronto, Canada, said: “I was really nervous to tell Mason. At first, he was so against it – but now he jokes that I’m an expensive girl, so at least I’m getting myself some money.”
Mason has even considered meeting her dates.
He said: “I didn’t like the idea of my girlfriend going out with other guys, but that stemmed from jealousy.
“Now Winnie has told me about the dates, I can see that these men are good people and treat her well. I’d even be willing to meet them myself if she wanted me to.
“It took me a while to appreciate and understand the art of it, but now I know if anything did go wrong she’d tell me immediately.”
McDonald’s worker Winnie first heard of sugar babies in September 2016, after a co-worker confessed to being one.
Intrigued, she signed up to Seeking Arrangement, a website which links successful men and women to attractive, younger dates who enjoy the finer things in life.
And, within minutes, messages began to trickle in.
“All I could hear was the message tone on my phone going off again and again,” said Winnie. “I was surprised I got so many messages.”
Aside from a few approaches from “creeps,” who she has promptly blocked, Winnie has never had a bad experience on a date.
In total, she’s met up with ten men – even holidaying at Niagara Falls with a man in his fifties, although she broke things off with him shortly afterwards, saying he was “too clingy”.
As well as being given a total of around £1,870 she has also received handbags, designer jewellery, clothes and a brand new iPhone from her dates.
The most she has been offered for a single date is £470.
Winnie is saving up so she can complete an engineering degree.
She also buys gifts for her family, friends and boyfriend.
And, whilst her sugar daddies allow her access to the high life, she is adamant that she would never cheat on Mason with them.
“I don’t think I’d fall for them. I see them more as friends or mentors who, at the end of the day, are mainly financial support.
“Mason trusts me and besides, it’s usually such a big age gap between us that he really doesn’t need to worry.”
Whilst she has no plans to stop being a sugar baby in the near future, she gets disillusioned by the fact a lot of the men she dates are married.
She continued: “It does jade my impression of guys. A lot of them try to explain themselves, but I don’t buy their excuses.
“I don’t like it when they talk about their wives and children. I try to just put it out of my mind.
“It sometimes makes me worry for the future. I think, ‘Is this what all guys do?’
“Some of them have had sugar babies for years and spend thousands on them. I wonder how they cover up that amount of money, but they usually have high-flying jobs so maybe a few grand is small change to them.”
Earlier this month sugar baby Jeanemarie Almulla claimed she was using her lifestyle to empower young women.
