PPM
PPM stands for Pay Per Meet, a sugar dating arrangement in which payment is made per date rather than a recurring allowance.
Within sugar dating, PPM describes a compensation structure in which a sugar daddy or sugar mommy pays an agreed sum to a sugar baby for each individual meeting, rather than providing a fixed weekly or monthly allowance. The amount is typically negotiated in advance of a date and can vary based on factors such as duration and expectations for the meeting, including whether it includes physical intimacy. PPM is commonly contrasted with allowance-based arrangements, in which a sugar daddy or sugar mommy pays a set amount on a weekly or monthly schedule regardless of how many meetings occur in that period. PPM is generally described as the more flexible, lower-commitment structure: it lets both parties assess compatibility before moving to a longer-term allowance arrangement, and it limits a sugar daddy's or sugar mommy's financial exposure if the arrangement does not continue. The term is standard shorthand across sugar dating forums, glossary pages, and platforms oriented around arrangement-based relationships, where it is used interchangeably with the spelled-out phrase "pay per meet." It is specific to the sugar dating subculture rather than mainstream dating app terminology, and it describes a payment mechanic rather than an emotional or romantic relationship style.
