The sugar daddy/sugar baby dating site says six Ohio colleges are among its “Top Fastest Growing Sugar Baby Schools.”
Kent State University comes in seventh place on the site’s list of schools “where female co-eds use Sugar Daddies to pay for their education.”
Ohio University lands in 22nd, Ohio State University 28th place, University of Cincinnati 45th place, the University of Akron 54th place and Miami University 75th place.
The Top 20 Fastest Growing Sugar Baby Schools Based on Number of New Sign-Ups:
1. University of Central Florida - 474
2. Arizona State University - 409
3. New York University - 347
4. Georgia State University - 269
5. Temple University - 251
6. University of Colorado - 232
7. Kent State University - 219
8. University of Southern California - 211
9. University of California, Davis - 192
10. Texas State University - 189
The creepy website says the average sugar baby receives $3,000 per month.
I am not sure what these so-called co-eds do for that $3,000. I am betting ‘it’ is more labor intensive than getting an ‘A’ in calculus.
SeekingArrangement.com says that college students represent its largest ‘sugar baby’ demographic, more than 42 percent of total babies.
First thing’s first; it is gross that women on the site are called babies and the men are called daddies.
‘Sugar baby’ and sugar daddy are old terms, but that doesn’t mean they are not gross.
They conjure up thoughts of slime ball old dudes pawing over bubby-headed youth.
People have every right to sign up for the site if they so choose, but lets call creepy ‘creepy.’
Even at its most innocent level, this thing sends a horrible message to young, bright women.
Need help paying for the semester? Flirt with some guy old enough to be your dad or grandpa.
Sexist anyone?
SeekingArrangement.com knows the power of a PYT (pretty young thing).
“As an incentive, SeekingArrangement offers free premium memberships to students who register using their .edu email accounts,” the company’s press release announcing the list says.
Oh, goody.
