SeekingArrangement Hosted “Sugar Baby Summit”

Posted on May 9, 2018

Seekingarrangement logo 2017BUSINESS INSIDER – May 9 – SeekingArrangement, an online dating service for sugar babies and daddies, hosted a conference in New York City. One of the panels focused on money in sugar dating. According to the panelists, sugar dating isn't just about money – it's about developing a relationship and respecting each other's feelings. In fact, it's generally considered a faux pas to ask for money right off the bat. "The financial aspect of the relationship is something that can be brought up once a level of trust has been built. Anyone asking for money upfront is treating the situation as a job, and Sugar dating is not a job, it's a lifestyle choice," according to the website.

Canadian University Students Find Sugar Daddies Online

Posted on January 17, 2017

Seeking arrangement logoNATIONAL POST – Jan 17 – According to Statistics Canada, the average tuition fees for an undergraduate student in Alberta were $5,730 in 2015. Alexis German, a spokeswoman for Seeking Arrangement, noted the average monthly "allowance" agreed upon by clients is ~$2,700, not including gifts or other boons. German said the dating service, which has 631,678 registered users in Canada (of which 412,528 are female "sugar babies"), has been successful because it allows users to transparently and explicitly outline their expectations in advance, minimizing unexpected assumptions about the relationship in the future. About one-third of those users are post-secondary students, which German said is a reflection of the financial difficulty facing those attending colleges and universities.
