💰 What is PPM (Pay Per Meet)?
Definition
PPM stands for "Pay Per Meet" - a sugar dating arrangement where the sugar daddy provides a predetermined amount of money for each date or meeting with a sugar baby. Unlike monthly allowances, PPM is transaction-based and occurs after each successful encounter.

How PPM Works
- Agreement: Both parties discuss and agree on a PPM amount

- Repeat: Process continues for subsequent meetings
When PPM is Used
- New sugar relationships (building trust)
- Casual or infrequent arrangements
- Traveling sugar daddies with irregular schedules
- Trial periods before committing to monthly allowances
- Short-term arrangements
