It was never something I took too seriously, until I started to research these websites myself. I came across several websites geared toward matching up sugar daddies and sugar babies. The most popular was SeekingArrangement. SeekingArrangement was created by Brandon Wade , a prominent internet entrepreneur, in The website now boasts more than 3. According to the site, college students make up the vast majority of sugar babies.
On SeekingArrangement. I was shocked, but at the same time it made complete sense. At the same time, I had so many questions. How exactly did these relationships work? Could this be considered prostitution?
What kinds of men were using this site in the small town of State College? I decided to use my status as a young blonde college student to go undercover as a sugar baby. The site required a brief physical description of myself β my height, body type, hair color β and a description of what I was looking for in my potential sugar daddy. You could narrow your search of sugar daddy profiles based on income, age, and location.
Within two days, I had over a dozen messages. They came from men of all walks of life. Married men looking for a fling on the side, New York City real estate brokers, businessmen visiting town for the weekend, and young entrepreneurs. Ages ranged from mids all the way to the lates. Some asked for dates and some outright asked for sex. Some offered contracts for long-term relationships and others just wanted to spend a day with me.
Many of their messages emphasized discretion, and most of them were married. They all had one thing in common β they were willing to pay me just for my company. I felt like I had uncovered some sort of secret sex ring in small-town Pennsylvania. Many of the men were pretty direct with their desiresβ¦some would say sleazy. That was the creepiest end of the spectrum. But for the most part, the men were pretty polite. I sorted through each of their profiles extensively, making sure I picked one that would clearly respect my boundaries.
