In the online dating world, many know about the apps and websites that people mostly call "sex apps," because most of the time, people turn to these options for... you got it, sex. If anyone has ever attempted the vicious online dating world, many would conclude that this romantic-less, sex driven world is not beneficial because of how these websites and apps are set up. From the article read for class, there is the appearance selection with people making snap judgements based on looks with (or with out) a small bio, every app and website has this. Many may not know about the fairly new "dating website," which is not a common topic of discussion, but this new one shows more than a quick bio, like net worth, annual income... prices... it deals more with Sugar Daddies and Sugar Babies than an random couple...
Seeking Arrangement is a new website for people of all ages looking for someone of a different age to exchange favors with... with more palpable variations of rewards... known as payments. There are articles all over the internet about experiences, from all sides, of these relationships. These relationship titles being Sugar Daddy, Sugar Mommy, and Sugar Baby.
Many people find this new trend to be quite controversial, somewhere along the lines of prostitution, but what many don't know, is that it's not just sex.
"Unlike other dating websites, it's my
commitment to operate our business ethically. This means caring about
your privacy, encrypting identifiable data, and never employing fake
profiles or software bots. When we say there are more women than men, we
guarantee it."

Sex, obviously is an option.
But the main point is that there is way more out there than Tinder, Christian Mingle, Hot or Not, and so many more.The difference between these and Seeking Arrangement is that instead of a STD as payment, some get bills covered.
Apparently there are even wrong ways to attract a SD/SB (Sugar Daddy/Sugar Baby). The website has a separate blog with ways to deal with, and handle, different situations and people. There are actual articles for Daddies on how to properly "judge" a woman by what she drinks or what a few words in her biography "actually mean." Still just as judgmental and fast paced as other dating sites.
If you're interested, there are personal interviews and stories. Some articles encourage sugar Daddy relationships and others disapprove of it. If you find these stories interesting, simply Google "sugar daddy stories." There are two sides to every story, but the point of view from the female Sugar Baby is the most interesting or exciting.
There is such a burst of this hidden, underground economy, that it is said to accumulate to about $2 trillion of untaxed money that simply "disappears," most is actually from the SD/SB industry. Check it out.
I would think that these kinds of apps would have popped up prior to dating apps only because of the prostitution connection which is one of the oldest jobs in the books. I am however, surprised about the amount of money that is going into this, uh job. I've talked to a few people who have tried this out, and they said that if you are interested best way to find a sugar ma or pop is to find them in person. This way you can understand who they are before you start doing business. When you contact each other online, that first 'date' has got to be nerve racking even if you're just meeting up to talk rules and restrictions. But for those who can't find these rich men and women just on the street then I suppose this app sure does help out a lot of broke people.
ReplyDeleteThere is another interesting site that is almost like seeking arrangements accept instead of just meeting up to have sex, the rich man or women takes you on a vacation. You basically get to go on a trip, while you keep your sugar parent sexually stimulated throughout it. For people who are really into this kind of thing, they must be exceptionally happy for the internet because it is now bringing all connections together. People can now enter into a social realm where everyone has the same interests before even meeting them. I do believe that to be a big bright side to this online dating phenomenon.
Great article!
