It’s the same with sugar babies, it’s not all about the monetary allowances. SeekingArrangement is a niche dating site that targets specific users. Since it is not a general dating site, some people who stumble upon it accidentally might be put off by its concept.

The site is a platform where young men and women can meet sugar daddies and mommas who can provide them with financial help and mentoring. In return, sugar babies shall provide companionship and long-term relationships.

Arrangement Seekers get to share their aspirations and expectations of their ideal sugar romance with ease in their online profiles on modern Sugar Daddy/Sugar Baby/Sugar Mommy sites. Sugar babies are not standing in a sketchy alley at 2am surrounded by drug dealers and petty criminals risking their safety.

But actually talking about money can be taboo. In many arrangements, money is discussed once and not brought up again.

Is there a Seeking Arrangement app?

Three-month of premium membership cost $44.85, which reduces the monthly cost to $14.95. And finally, if you pay for a six-month subscription, one month will only cost you $9.95. So, we can safely state that SeekingArrangement services cost less than average in the market.

Seeking Arrangement spokeswoman Kimberly De La Cruz told news.com.au that a third of the website’s “sugar babies” are students. “Bills never get in the way for College Sugar Babies. The value of a degree cannot be underestimated.

• It allows you a little privacy during your search.
• And after graduating in May with $30,000 in student loan debt and another $10,000 in credit card debt, she grew increasingly desperate.
• Ava, 24, expects a monthly allowance “around $2,000, depending” for an ongoing, intimate relationship.

As a mother of a freshman daughter at Tulane, I find the publication of this article disturbing. These sugar daddy arrangements are tantamount to prostitution. It’s sex work, plain and simple.

How long does it take to be approved on Seeking Arrangement?

They quickly found that the man had been an employee of City Hall and was now a student in a New York University program that is in Brooklyn, near the Jay Street-MetroTech subway stop. He’s married with children. He is not an investment banker (nor does he work at Bain, the management consultant firm). After discussing the drama, the two women decided to take advantage of the unusual circumstance.

A year ago, Dayanara started dating an older, married executive while working as a summer intern at an investment bank in New York. The relationship quickly blossomed into a sugar daddy relationship, with him sending her a monthly allowance of $5,000 when she returned to Florida International University in the fall. The two would meet up once every few weeks, for a night out in Miami or a romantic weekend in the Caribbean. For some women, rubbing shoulders with powerful and successful men is an education unto itself.

How long does it take for my profile to be approved? Please be patient, photos and profiles enter the approval process in the order they were received. This usually takes 24-48 hours, however if the site is experiencing a high volume, this process may take longer.

Though the phrase never went away, the rise of sugar daddy/sugar baby relationships took a spike when Brandon Wade created the SeekingArrangement website in 2006. Since its founding, the website has boasted over 10 million active members, with four sugar babies for every one sugar daddy or mama.

Not to say I believe this to be true or want it to be, simply that the rapid rise of sugar dating and the millions of women voluntarily engaging in it raise many compelling points that might suggest this. Millennial women are becoming increasingly comfortable monetizing their sexuality, both inside and outside of the sugar dating world. The plight of the middle class—budgeting, saving, learning, investing, working hard to get ahead, spending most of your money on bills, rejecting mindless consumerism, embracing minimalism, overcoming struggle—these were all trivial matters that the sugar baby could avoid by auctioning herself to a sugar daddy. To the outside observer, sugar dating, especially for women, seems like something of a fantasy. Yet, don’t get me wrong, half of the women I met on Seeking Arrangement strictly wanted an exchange of cash for sexual intimacy.

With the whole process going digital, women passing through a system of higher education that fosters indebtedness are using the anonymity of the web to sell their wares and pay down their college loans. I don’t necessarily know that it’s fair, honestly. I think the dynamic of a website like Seeking Arrangement is, you have to assume that whoever you meet on that site is going to say whatever they can say to accomplish whatever goal they might have. And that goal is getting money.
