Want to Be a Sugar Baby? Know How to Stay Safe
For anyone who is thinking of sugaring, here are some steps you can take to mitigate risk and maintain privacy. The profile refers to your profile on Seeking Arrangement, which tends to be the preferred site for finding people interested in these kinds of relationships.
Before Setting Up Your Profile
Set up a new email address. Connect as little of your personal information (phone number, etc) to it as possible. Do not use your real name in this email address. Use this to set up your online profile.
Get a kik account. Set it up using aforementioned email address. If you find someone you like on the site, you can chat with them via kik and not have to give out your phone number. If someone you’re really interested in doesn’t want to use kik….
Get a Google Voice phone number. This is super easy to do with a Gmail account. With the associated app, you can text and call people (if you make it to that step) without having to give out your real phone number. Much easier to maintain your privacy and avoid unwanted suitors when they don’t have your real phone number.
Do not, under any circumstances, disclose personal, identifying information to someone over the internet.
