Brits Turn To "Sugar Daddy" To 'Date' Their Way Out Of Student Debt

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While record numbers of indebted Americans are increasingly turning to exchanging bodily fluids directly for cash, it appears (by implication) British students are taking a similar (but indirect) path to reducing their debt loads. As Sky News reports, thousands of British students are funding their way through university on so-called "Sugar Daddy" websites. One site, SeekingArrangement.com, claims 12,600 UK students have signed up with proof of university enrolment, with some making over $3,000 per month for her 'arrangement' enabling her to pay off her student loan and travel more. While sex is not 'expected', as one female student explained, "there's a fine line between being a 'sugar baby' and prostitution."

Well, not really...

The sites advertise themselves as a way for "beautiful, ambitious people to graduate debt free" through "arrangements" with older "sponsors"...

"Attending college means you have a choice: take out loans and eat ramen, or get a Sugar Daddy and live the life you always wanted." (on your back?)

All seems above board?!??

In an interview with Sky News, Brandon Wade, the founder of SeekingArrangement.com denied it was an escort site but that it enabled "sugar babies" to "upgrade their lifestyle".

He said sex was never expected, but it is aspired to and that the website had led to countless marriages worldwide.

"You want to find somebody who is well educated, who can provide for you financially, you know it's sort of the Disney dream so to say," said Mr Wade.

However, a married 62-year-old sugar daddy who is currently seeing four sugar babies told Sky News:

"I wouldn't be able to meet girls as young and as beautiful as this through an ordinary dating website".

 

He also said that "sex is an integral part of the site".

 

He believed consensual relationships were "really appropriate for students" looking to supplement their bank accounts.

 

"What a great way to get a little bit of extra pocket money and much better than having to spend eight hours slogging in a bar earning the minimum wage," he added.

What better way indeed...

In any form of government, finance always comes first.  Once the money runs out, morals are thrown out the window.

Years ago, gambling and the numbers racket were illegal.  As soon as states ran out of money the first thing they did was legalize casinos and start the lottery.

This is the fate of western civilization

This is the fate of capitalism

This is the fate of materialism

This is the fate of modern education

This is the fate of humanity

Debtocracy at its worst

Btw the student themselves get spoilt in the 'modern' universities , lose their 'humane' part of soul when they learn to do drugs & sex & also perverted sex & become spiritually dead. Human being who has to potential to [spiritually] touch the inifnite. Holiness, celibacy, spiritual awakening , these things have no meaning to modern students. So they get hooked to sex & drugs . This is hidden part of costly modern education. 

Education is most basic thingy for human being. Education should be at very low cost. It is the most fundamental for human development. 

However, in times of crony capitalism , all moral values go to dust.

Satan rules the west

To help connect a few more of the dots, here is the competition with those well off older men. It is the other ZH article today; 50% of 25 year olds live in their parent's basement. I am assuming that is both men and women. What an awful lifestyle for courting, dating experimentation and mating. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-10-27/why-are-half-all-25-year-olds-s...

Humankind has forgotten that there are better alternatives to sex & drugs.

Intense pleasure more than even sex, could it be possible? , yes , it is in spirituality & religion , there are systematic procedures to awaken in happy trance states, provided you agree to pay the price - lifetime & abstinence from sex, drugs & material pleasures.

Yes there is a way , remember we all are standing over the waiting burning hell below which is a material fact.

If everyone followed your idiotic advice, there'd be no next generation of humans. Is that why your avatar is a skull? You think humanity should die off?

I'm 60 and sex with my 55-year old GF is the best I've ever had because there's no BS in our relationship - we like each other, we love each other, and we lust for each other. We are both happier, healthier, and wealthier because of our sex life, so you can take your virtue of celibacy and cram it.

This article is a load of sensationalist bollocks. It's surprising that ZH has been taken in by this blatant PR puff piece. Just over a year ago the same website pulled the same stunt except that it was about the 1,000s of Irish students who had signed up.

These female students are about as real as the female members on Ashley Madison.

Bullshit.

I studied this in detail two years ago, had an account on SeekingArrangement for a year and went on many ... 'dates.'  (Never partook in any 'arrangement', however - can't do it.  I'm fortunate in that department. Something about ethics and trust...)  I have the resources to look the part and had countless conversations picking the brains of the many girls I met with.  I even got a clique of lesbians infighting over me. My girlfriend made an account so I could see the gents and saw one of my attorneys. Good guy - I talked to him about it.  Turns out he did a lot of ... dates ... and his wife had no problem with it.  Go figure.  Cha ching indeed. Oh, the war stories...

I live in a US city which is home to one of the largest universities in the country with 28 colleges in the area.  I can attest that a huge percentage of the college females (most of the hot ones) are sugar babies.  Strip clups are dying - the VIP areas have become ghost towns over the last 10 years due to this, hence my prying into it (I like strip clubs. Something about boobs.)  I get very curious about fascinating changes like this. I correlated increased female college attendance, increasing popularity of sugar baby websites and reduction in strip club VIP attendance.  This explained all three very accurately. All dancers and waitresses I've talked to (a lot) verified that huge numbers of girls in those cliques are sugar babies - most are out of the dating pool completely.

Go ahead and deny it. This is real. My estimates of the ratios of girls in college who are sugar babies (at least around here) fairly closely explains the relatively recent lopsided increase in female university attendance.  I'd say about 20%-25% (or more?) of the females in college in the US have some form of arrangement just to help with their bills.  Keep in mind, an arrangement doesn't have all of the time overhead of a real relationship.  Some of these girls have 2-3 guys they ... humor.

I'm looking forward to the snap back to reality that will happen when these bubbles burst. The markets are breathtakingly distorted. It will be raining desperate young hotties soon. When it does, expect dating to get much easier.  It has sucked air for a few years now, which chaps my ass because my girlfriend needs a girlfriend.  My life sucks.

Before spouting about how it isn't happening, spend a few months going and spending countless nights (and money) talking to real people and finding out what is actually going on.  It is hard, but it works.  Science, bitches...

I agree.

My ex-wife was a high priced call girl. Worked during our marriage. I learned a lot from running a stable of women for a year with her - outcall.

One key factor is hotness. A hot co-ed is 50% likely to be a hooker/prostitiute/escort - whatever - for money during college years. A perfect scenario; she's away from home. and is sexually at her peak. She also knows how to get money out of men.

I could go on....but I have work....and not with a boner can I concentrate. Great post sapio!

Now, the, uhmm, ladies have monetized it. Understandable for a society where anything goes.

Those with twisted minds are detestable to the Lord, but those with blameless conduct are His delight. Be assured that the wicked will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will escape.  A beautiful woman who rejects good sense is like a gold ring in a pig's snout.

 

  Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.

 

The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will stand.  There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

There are two reasons why women expect financial support in exchange for sexual favors and/or "relationship status" (including marriage).

Firstly, this is because it is pretty much the natural order of things. Life is a reproductive cycle in which women do the reproducting--and function that has very high overhead costs (pregnancy, child care, providing a home). In order to reproduce successfully, women will require a lot of help paying these overhead costs. This is the male role: to provide for the reproductive overhead costs that, when women must bear them alone, can often lead to unsuccessful reproduction. Women instinctively feel that if you wish to engage in reproductive activity (sex) with them, you are (tacitly) contracting to pay for this. They will tend to feel betrayed if you seek to engage in reproductive activity with them without the intention of of providing the support structure needed for successful pregancy, lactation, child rearing, and home. Back in the day, the intention to provide such support was known as "honorable intentions."

Since the "honorable intentions" concept has largely disappeared among the male race, we have seen the "installment plan" emerge--in which women will sometimes accept something less than the customary life-long contract to provide for them and your/their offspring (marriage) meant by "honorable intentions."

Reason number two: What women seek in a relationship is affection, warmth, humor, companionship, intelligence, wit, a person who is fun-loving and whom they can confide in, and who shares at least some interests. (Youth, fitness, and physical attractiveness are also desireable.) Men should ask themselves if they have some of these things going for them.

In the absence of these desired traits--all of which are almost uniformly absent in the male sex--many women find that if they wish to engage in reproductive activity (sex) and have the opportunity to reproduce, they will have to "settle." What they will have to "settle" for is money.

Women would probably, in most cases, prefer a man with the desired personal qualities, who also had "honorable intentions." It seems to me that most women would consider a reltionship with such a man to be highly preferable to a "sugar daddy" and would provide for such a man in all the traditional female ways (providing home, children, comfort, and care), and even go the extra mile for him. 

The reason women settle for less (sugar daddies and various other types of short-term financial compensation) is because the desired type of man is in vanishingly short supply.

Not so for the Christian's spouse; great to be redeemed.  Circumstances matter not, for the relationship is ordained by God.  All the world attacks the very things God has ordained for our good, which is why you see attacks on family and marriage (traditional).  It is why we see the whole world built upon lies, for God hates lies and liars because it is the gateway to almost all other sin.

 

For those that would say divorce is the same among the Christian population; I would say to those; show me the study and I'll show you the flaws.

 

The best thing you can do for your kids apart from leading them to the Lord is to give them a strong aversion to lying and set the example as parents.

Been doing the expat thing in West Africa for 4 years now. Was in a relationship for 2 out of the 4, but have been free willy for a year now. IT'S GREAT. Want to know what it's like to be a professional athlete or semi-famous actor in the West? Go to a developing country as an expat (or not, as long as you've got $$$). The type of university students you get access to are in the 9 and 10 range, aged 18 to 24 and the pussy is GREAT. And you're doing so much for their lives it is almost guilt-inducing. This one petite dread-locked cutie I met outside her University had me in a daze for half a year. I paid for her hostel apartment (literally $30 a month) and put money in her pocket. Her parents (or some other dude?) were paying her school fees. I used to stop by two or three times a weeka fter work, she would suck me, fuck me, repeat the process and then offer me a just-cooked meal. I used to do porno stuff to this girl, it was bananas. After a few semesters I cut the cord, didn't want the baggage. Plus her friends wre paying close attention and two of them decided to jump on my cock the first chance they got... still piping one of them.

Gotta be a former or current player to survive this game though. It takes physical fortitude and stamina to be able to pipe these young broads consistently (I played football, ran track, still stay in shape) and you HAVE to be a litttle ruthless at times or these girls will smell weakness and employ any and all sorts of crazy tricks. Milk you using lies, steal from you, set you up to get robbed, blackmail you, on the list goes....  I'm slowing down now though because I'm looking to settle down. It was fun while it lasted but can't make it a permanent tactic to troll university campuses looking for soft fertile young babes because it ruins your moral and physical compass. The sex is EMPTY and purely for pleasure. Enough of that and you will come to recognize the value in a truly loving and long lasting relationship. 

Best part? I've had tall, short, skinny, chubby light dark.... Put any woman in front of me and I can tell you what sex with her will be like. Helps with the crazy games women try to play by using the HINT of pussy to manipulate you. Just doesn't work on me anymore.
