Sugar dating or sugaring is a type of pseudoromantic interpersonal relationship where one person receives money or gifts in exchange for intimacy or companionship. The provider is typically older and wealthier, while the recipient is typically younger, attractive, and interested in improving their quality of life. The recipient obtains gifts such as jewelry, luxury goods, leisure outings, vacations, fine dining, financial support, or mentorship, and offers social benefits such as companionship, devotion, affection, dating or intimacy.
