I actually had a "sugar daddy" for a bit about a year ago (I have my moments) he had bought me clothes and paid for me to go on a vacation under the condition that I'd see him for a month (he wanted company and sex), and I was intent on following through with it at first but then I just couldn't pull myself to do it.. I had zero physical and very little mental attraction towards him, he was also a lot older than me and it was very weird.. the whole thing felt weird and I felt kind of trapped and almost claustrophobic, like he spent all this money on me and now I owed him something. I also felt very cheap and guilty because I was clearly taking advantage of him and I had little respect for him because I knew he knew that I was taking advantage of him and he was okay with it.. it's not very admirable, I think it might have actually put me off even more. I wound up ending the arrangement and offered to pay him back but he didn't want any money.. although he was very upset and attached and I think I stomped on his pride and he wouldn't leave me alone or let go for a while. But yeah that was a big mistake on my part. It was not a fun experience for either of us.

So yeah, I don't recommend such an arrangement.. nothing good can come out of it I don't think, if someone was totally okay with that then they must be emotionally dead. Nothing beats genuine feelings/attraction.

Attraction for me is based mostly on personality and also a bit on looks, I also find intelligence, talent, creativity, and success in a career to be attractive.

Just know where you stand in the world and set reasonable expectations and get out and meet someone! Not to sound rude or anything, I just have a very realistic mind-set when it comes to dating.. I haven't been dealt a perfect hand either.
