In a news release, the site's founder and CEO Brandon Wade said "the growth of southern female co-eds seeking the Sugar Lifestyle is a move in the right direction to bring back Southern charm."
When asked what he meant by that, Gwynn said she believes being involved with a "sugar daddy" is a way that "people are cultivating these girls to become more successful later in life."
"You have these southern gentlemen helping [sugar babies] find their way in life, as well as financially," she said.

Granted, he's getting plenty of help from his clients, but were I a proud Southern father of daughters I'd kick Brandon Wade's ass for making my home and family and people look dysfunctional.

A savvy entrepeneur  with an obvious supply and demand? Some of these girls would do this on their own, this man may be making safer and more suitable arrangements.

Females only, eh?  Don't want to help young men become "gentlemen" in your back-to-southern-charm fantasy?

The site offers its services to young women and men, as well as "sugar daddies" and "sugar mommies" - though they do warn you that "daddies" outnumber "mommies" by about 100-1. So, young men probably aren't going to get very far seeking out women only.

So, yeah, totally not prostitution. WAY different... somehow.

What needy girl might look like.

"We are very, very strict about escorts," she says. "If language on someone's profile is talking about selling their body, they're kicked off immediately. That's not what our site is really about."


Seems legit.

Gator's biatches better be wearin' jimmies!!!

It does kinda sound hypocritical.

Meet a woman in a bar, buy her dinner & drink and wind up "back at your place" = Legal. (Lose morals, but legal).
Meet a woman in a bar, give her the money you WOULD have spent on dinner & a drink and wind up "back at your place" = Illegal.

What's the difference? In scenario one, the bar/restaurant gets the money. In the other, the woman gets the money.

Heck, lets go back to the time of the Crusades and make women wear chastity belts until they're married. Any sex outside of marriage = death penalty. Women of legal age obviously aren't allowed to have any say over what they do with their bodies, so lets leave it up to the government.

*grumbles* We'll fight for the right for people to smoke dope (legally), but not for women to decide what to do with their own bodies. We're a bunch of hypocrites.

//Oh yeah, and stay off my damn lawn.

This system has been a common and open tradition in France for decades, if not longer. It is seen there as just one more valid way for a poor young student with no money to afford university. It may not be as common as it once was, but its still flourishing, and its not exactly hidden, either.

Don't see why this is so shocking. Our culture has been drifting back strongly toward a class system for some time, and this is historically one way the ambitious have-nots have always been able to get something from the aristocracy to improve their lot.

Beats stripping, but who am I kidding the type of chicks that sign up for this type of program are already strippers.

Preferable to go to travelgirls dot com and get a hot young Estonian chick who will provide you with LOTS more kinky for the buck. Go East young lad, go East.

"Who in the hell would try pairing financially needy college students with sugar daddies in need of "companionship"?"

financially needy college students

/The answer is in the question
//Poverty is a hell of a drug
///Slashies

dbirchall: FTFA: If college students register with a ".edu" email address, they are automatically given "premium" status on their profiles, which gives them privileges users typically have to pay to use such as reaching out to a prospective sugar daddy.

How do they screen for people being students, at schools where faculty, staff and students are all in the same domain?

Right off the top of my head, I've got .edu accounts at three US universities, none of which I've ever attended.  One I work for, one I used to work for, and one I have absolutely no formal affiliation with at all.  Two of them show no directory results for me, and the third one lets me edit my directory entry to have it say anything I want.

I  havetaken classes in the last few years at a fourth school, and am only on hiatus until I save up the tuition for a higher-level graduate degree...

Are you a hot young coed?

... wonder how many "sugar mommies" out there are looking for sexless "arrangements" with fortysomethings? ;)

No. Well, there you go. The .edu discount isn't going to do you any good.

"Four Florida universities - Florida International University in Miami-Dade, the University of Central Florida in Orlando, the University of South Florida in Tampa, and Florida State University in Tallahassee - made the Top 20 list of fastest-growing "sugar baby" memberships for SeekingArrangement.com, a website with more than two million users worldwide."

So these dirty old men are paying the junior college tuition for dumb girls? Win-Win in my opinion: dumb girls get their "degree" from a terrible university paid for and some old man gets his wrinkly dick wet.

Yeah, I don't have enough money to get myself a sugar baby. Nor do I want one.

Besides, you might be the lucky person who gets the weirdo who want you to help clean his 18th century Russian porcelain doll collection.

I checked the website. There's "male sugar babies" available. Unfortunately, the "sugar mama" selection seems to be nothing but couples looking to buy a coed babysitter to nail.

back! back to reddit with you!

Did I do something to your cornflakes?

I'm guessing the intersection of Need Money and Don't Care How I Get Said Money.

after you whore yourself out, you have a degree from a florida university. up sh creek without a paddle, basically.

mbillips: This is what a government small enough to drown in a bathtub looks like. In civilized countries, college is basically cheap/free for those with good grades, and disgusting old moneybags creepers have to fark lower-quality prostitutes.

This.  College for the Baby Boomers was free or very low priced, like $100 - $500 a semester.  For people my age, it was still in the $2000 - $8000 a year range.

Now, you know what it costs, $20,000 - $50,000 a year.  Only the wealthy from overseas, or our own wealthy, can afford this.

We're on a 40 year track to pull the rug out from under our young people.  I hold the Boomer generation responsible the most, they're the ones that typically were gimme gimme for themselves them eff u to everyone else.

America needs to invest in its  young people with as much or money as it invests in the military.  Education should be free or affordable.

The economic need for "Seeking Arrangement" should not exist in a free society, and we're more or less doomed if we keep encouraging this kind of "rich people need only apply" to higher ed.

Good luck with those STD's, rich lonely guys!
