Even with the safety risks and emotional toll that can result from being a sugar baby, the number of students using the service is on the rise. Teela Sanders, research director and professor of criminology at the University of Leicester in England, said young women work through services like SeekingArrangement in total isolation because they fear judgement, which can lead to negative mental health effects. She said she had consistent arrangements with several sugar daddies over summer break while at home in Minneapolis. While she enjoyed the consistency and felt trusted and respected in these arrangements, using SeekingArrangement sometimes negatively affected her mental health.

In her encounters, Emily has found that money is a way for sugar daddies to feel like they’re helping someone young to better their life — a kind of noble, philanthropic justification that eagerly anticipates the future success of the sugar baby they invested in. That’s the reason, she said, that sugar daddies are particularly interested in college students. When I started dating through Seeking Arrangement, I thought I was someone who could enter into a relationship for financial reasons and not feel cheapened by it. Ultimately, I realized that I’m not that progressive, or that, for whatever reason, being financially independent means something to me.

At the start of the month, the men pay her. She’s able to stay on top of her bills and ensure the men requesting her time will have it. While at UNC, Anna was a Carolina Covenant scholar, which promises a graduation free of student loans through grants, scholarships and work-study jobs. Hailing from a low-income background is a necessity to be a Carolina Covenant scholar, but expenses piled on top of tuition, and Anna found herself relying on the “allowance” from sugar daddies. Anna, as she’s known on the site, wanted to be a congressional staffer in Washington, D.C. She thought she would be a sugar baby until she found internships, but said this career was something she “fell in love with” throughout her college and post-grad years.

«I have one year left and I’ve already paid the full tuition on one of those semesters.» That benefactor has since passed away, but thanks to her other arrangements, she’ll be graduating debt-free. Sugar Babies join SeekingArrangement for a plethora of reasons — not just to fund a move, like in Anna’s case.

SeekingArrangement is an online companionship service, which markets itself to college students as a way to make money and mitigate student debt. Many students like Ava have used the service to connect with men and women by exchanging companionship, intimacy and often sex for fancy dinners, money and gifts. In the past, we’ve interviewed several sugar babies (both men and women) as well as sugar mammas to chat about their experiences with sites like Seeking Arrangement, where men and women get paid to date, and find people willing to pay them.

• Often times, money is paid electronically or presented in the form of a gift, creating the illusion that it’s not really there.
• SeekingArrangement’s “sugar baby university” campaign encourages college students to join the service as a way of combating student debt.
• For many sugar babies, and for many college students like Brian and Emily, Seeking Arrangement is a way to provide a steady flow of financial income when other options have proven insufficient.

Sarah Polowin, a graduate of Carleton University in Canada who wrote her doctoral thesis on SeekingArrangement in 2017, found that money is the primary motivating factor for college students using the service. “We wanted to be able to offer [students] one less burden associated with the cost of college, and encourage them to find relationships that would help them elevate their lifestyle,” SeekingArrangement spokesperson Kimberly De La Cruz said in an email. Students are offered free memberships when they join the service using their university emails. A growing number of college students are using the service SeekingArrangement to meet sugar daddies and mommies, who financially support them. The next few people who reached out to me through Seeking Arrangement were not up my alley.

The site he was referring to was Seeking Arrangement, an online network that pairs people possessing resources (“sugar daddies” and “sugar mommies”) with those, usually much younger, seeking them (“sugar babies”). I had become a member a few weeks earlier, partly as a social experiment and partly out of genuine desperation. I was frustrated with my job, which offered little upward mobility, and was thinking about quitting it to pursue my goal of becoming a full-time freelance writer. Holding me back were my lack of savings and my fear of sacrificing a regular paycheck.
