In sugar dating, a woman's opinion of you is largely determined by the content of the first few messages.

On sugar daddy apps, you send a "like" to someone you're interested in after viewing their profile, and once a match is made, you begin exchanging messages.

Whether or not you'll get to the point of meeting in person is largely determined by the first few messages you exchange.

Even if a man believes he is on par with other men in terms of qualifications and annual income, it's not uncommon for him to be eliminated from consideration simply because of the way he sends messages.

Conversely, this means there is still plenty of room to improve results simply by changing the way you send them.

After matching, women compare multiple men simultaneously.

Many female members are not communicating with just one man.

I compare several people I matched with around the same time and choose who I want to spend my time with.

It's best to consider the order in which replies are received as a form of selection process.

What women seek in men's messages is a sense of security.

When women read messages, they look for reassurance—whether it's safe to meet this person—more than just good qualities. They infer a person's character from details such as whether they use polite language, the length of their messages, and the way they ask questions.

No matter how well you prepare the conditions, if the written communication gives off an uneasy feeling, it won't lead to any further discussion.

The reason why calm and composed language tends to create a better impression than flashy self-promotion is because it builds up a sense of reassurance.

Basic flow from messaging to meeting in person

There's a general pattern to messages used in sugar dating. Knowing this flow will make it easier to decide what to send next.

• First greeting after matching
• I confirmed their character through several exchanges.
• Negotiating the terms (compensation, details of the meeting)
• Scheduling a meeting

Many men stumble during this process, particularly at the initial greeting and when discussing terms and conditions. A common pitfall is skipping the stage of assessing the woman's personality and rushing straight to discussing terms and conditions.

We will examine how women actually feel, along with specific examples of what not to do.

There are several common patterns in messages that make women truly want to stop replying.

This article reveals the true feelings of women who receive messages, which are often overlooked by the sender. It's not uncommon for messages sent with no ill intent to actually be the reason for being disliked.

The very first message asks, "Can adults do this?"

Many women become wary when asked directly about the nature of their relationship before even meeting in person. This is because they feel pressured to focus only on the requirements before they can assess the person's character.

Informal language, old-fashioned speech patterns, and excessive use of emojis.

Using informal language in a first message can come across as overly familiar and fail to convey politeness. Long preambles and excessive use of emojis can also highlight the age gap.

Short, well-structured sentences tend to leave a more positive impression.

The text is long-winded and full of questions.

Messages that are long and contain lengthy self-introductions and updates can be a burden to read. Conversely, some women feel like they are being interrogated if they receive a barrage of questions.

For each exchange, it's ideal to limit yourself to one main point you want to convey and one question you want to ask.

They unilaterally impose their own prices and conditions.

A message that unilaterally states the amount of compensation before even meeting will be perceived as a notification rather than a negotiation.

Thinking of the terms and conditions as something that should be agreed upon while also taking the other party's wishes into consideration will significantly change the impression you make.

Let's organize how women perceive this, as changes in their impressions.

Message from a man	An impression that is easily accepted by women
Asking about adult relationships from the very first message.	I get the impression that I'm being judged.
Informal language and excessive emojis	The impression is that they are overly familiar.
He talks about himself for too long.	It gives the impression of being one-sided and burdensome.
The amount was presented unilaterally.	It felt more like a notification than a negotiation.

Even when conveying the same information, simply changing the way it's asked or the order in which it's presented can drastically alter how it's received.

If you can avoid making people doubt your character, then all that's left is to build up a system of sending messages that will lead to replies.

Three principles for men to increase their message response rate

Now that we've looked at the reasons why women might lose interest, let's move on to the principles of messages that actually get replies. These aren't difficult techniques; they're things you can change just by being mindful of them.

Using polite language and short sentences conveys politeness and composure.

For your first few letters, maintain polite language and keep your sentences short. Overly long letters can cause recipients to avoid reading them altogether.

Shorter messages are easier to reply to even during busy times, and tend to keep the conversation going. Remember to use line breaks appropriately to make the text easy to read on a smartphone screen.

Mentioning the profile adds a special touch.

Using only generic phrases like "Nice to meet you, please to meet you" will make you seem like just another guy. Simply mentioning something about their profile will give the impression that you've read it carefully.

Instead of sending a generic message to anyone, including a sentence that's specifically for that person adds a special touch.

Match the frequency of your replies to the woman's pace.

Sending multiple messages before receiving a reply can come across as pushy. Please adjust your message frequency to match the recipient's response speed.

Taking a patient approach tends to lead to longer-lasting relationships. If the other person is slow to respond, maintaining a pace of about one exchange per day is probably ideal.

How to recover when a message is marked as read but no reply is received.

If several days pass with your message still showing as read, you might feel anxious and want to send a follow-up message. However, if you press the issue at this point, you'll only push them further away.

A gentle way to mend the relationship is to wait a few days and then send a short message that briefly touches on your previous exchange.

A casual tone like, "Thank you for the other day. I apologize for bothering you during your busy schedule, but I would be happy to speak with you again," is a good guideline.

If you don't receive a reply, assume that it wasn't meant to be and move on to interacting with the next person.

[By Situation] Ready-to-Use Message Examples for Men

Rather than simply copying the example sentences, you'll likely create a more natural impression if you slightly rephrase them in your own words.

First greeting immediately after matching

The first letter should ideally be short and concise.

Please show a willingness to first assess their character without mentioning the terms and conditions.

Discreetly check the conditions and compensation.

After several exchanges, we will confirm the terms.

Instead of unilaterally deciding on the amount, asking about the other party's preferences will soften the impression they receive.

Invite them to meet and set a date.

Once we've agreed on the terms and conditions, we'll move on to proposing a meeting.

Instead of unilaterally specifying a date and time, please ask about the other party's availability first.

Thank you message after meeting

After the initial meeting, I will send a thank-you message on the same day or the following day.

Adding a brief, specific comment can leave a different impression than a standard template. Slightly adjusting your wording to suit the recipient's age and personality will result in a more natural-sounding message.

Tips for bringing up conditions and "adult relationships" in messages

Sensible conditions such as compensation and the nature of the relationship can be greatly affected by how you bring them up. This article, along with actual data, will introduce ways to communicate these topics smoothly and appropriately.

It's common practice to confirm the terms of compensation before meeting.

In a survey conducted by UNIVERSE GROUP among 318 women, 42.1% responded that they "negotiate before meeting" when it comes to the timing of negotiating compensation, making it the most common answer.

It's more natural for both parties to agree on the price beforehand rather than bringing it up after meeting in person.

The going rate for compensation varies depending on the type of meeting and the age group. If you want to know the going rate beforehand,List of typical rates for "sugar daddy" relationshipsChecking this information as well will help you avoid confusion when presented with a price quote.

Adults don't bring it up abruptly in messages.

While it's said that many men desire a more intimate relationship, whether or not a woman actually agrees is up to her own judgment. Bringing it up abruptly during the messaging stage before meeting can make her wary and cause her to stop contacting you.

It's best for both parties to first meet to get to know each other's personalities and then discuss their expectations for the relationship. If you'd like to know more about the nature of the relationship,How to communicate your terms during negotiationsPlease also refer to.

When stating an amount, combine the number with a softening phrase.

Sending only the amount in a single sentence can give a purely businesslike impression.

Adding phrases like "If you don't mind" or "I'd also like to hear your opinion, Mr./Ms. XX" makes it easier for the conversation to be perceived as a consultation rather than a negotiation.

Having to go through this kind of exchange every time you message someone can easily become a burden for men as well.

If there was a system in place to confirm the allowance and type of relationship before meeting, the amount of communication regarding terms and conditions could be reduced.

In fact, signs of a scammer or fraudulent activity can already be seen from the initial message exchange stage.

On sugar daddy apps, there are sometimes scammers and fraudulent users who blend in with regular members. Knowing the distinguishing features of these individuals during the messaging stage will help you avoid becoming a victim.

A honeytrap is a crime that may constitute extortion or blackmail, involving threats by an accomplice or luring the victim to an overpriced establishment.

Be wary of people who respond to your questions using canned, formulaic phrases, or who suggest meeting in private rooms or their homes from the very first meeting.

If they quote a price that is extremely high compared to the market rate from the start, that's one sign you should be wary of.

Someone who immediately tries to redirect you to an external app.

Be wary of people who rush to exchange LINE IDs or phone numbers immediately after matching. If the conversation moves to a place where the app's monitoring and reporting mechanisms are not in place, it becomes difficult to deal with problems if they arise.

If you feel uncomfortable with the interaction, do not force yourself to comply, and use the in-app functions to block or report the user.

Strategies for creating messages that reduce photo scams and last-minute cancellations.

There have been reports of so-called "photo fraud," where the profile picture differs significantly from the actual person. Simply asking for a recent photo before meeting can reduce discrepancies on the day.

If you feel increasingly uneasy about someone during your interactions, it's important to decide against forcing a meeting. Here are some signs to watch out for during the messaging stage:

Check item	Signs to be wary of
Message	There are many canned responses, and the answers to questions don't make sense.
Contact information	They ask for your LINE ID or phone number immediately after matching.
Price offer	They quote an extremely high price from the start, far above the market rate.
Meeting location	They specify locations that are easily enclosed, such as private rooms, homes, or cars.

If you're seeing multiple signs of unease from someone, there's no need to force yourself to continue interacting with them. Deciding to distance yourself when you feel something is off is one way to protect yourself.

Options to know when you're tired of exchanging messages

Even if you are mindful of the principles of sending messages, negotiating terms and assessing the recipient solely through messages is a time-consuming task for men.

If you can confirm the terms before meeting, you can reduce the number of negotiation messages.

Frequently Asked Questions about "Sugar Daddy" Messages (For Men)

Here are answers to frequently asked questions about messaging from male members.

Should I wait for the woman to send the first message?

There's no need to wait. After matching, it's better for the man to send the first greeting to start the conversation more naturally. A short, polite message is fine.

If you don't receive a reply, don't worry too much about it; it's more of a matter of compatibility. This is key to maintaining a long-term relationship.

Is it okay to send a follow-up message if I don't receive a reply?

Avoid sending messages every few hours. Wait a few days, then send a brief message that briefly touches on a previous topic. If there's still no response, move on to the next person.

Many reasons for not receiving a reply are simply that the person is busy or communicating with someone else, and it doesn't necessarily mean you've done anything wrong.

How many messages should I exchange before inviting someone to meet in person?

There's no set number of exchanges, but as a guideline, if you've made progress in understanding each other's personalities and conditions after about 5 to 10 exchanges, it's a natural time to suggest a face-to-face meeting.

If the back-and-forth continues for too long, the enthusiasm might wane before you actually meet.

Should I answer honestly if a woman asks me my age or occupation?

To the extent that it doesn't cause significant harm, being honest will build trust. If you don't want to answer, simply tell them what you are comfortable sharing without forcing yourself to go into detail.

Is it okay to promise an adult relationship through messages alone?

Avoid asking for commitments during the messaging stage before meeting in person. Relationship expectations should be discussed and agreed upon by both parties after getting to know each other's personalities during the face-to-face meeting.
