The “lifestyle expectation” component of Seeking Arrangement is what makes it different from other dating websites, and where the company draws the thin line between prostitution and “sugar.” Expectations for compensation range from “negotiable” to “high,” or a monthly allowance of $10,000. Most "sugar babies" have “moderate” lifestyle expectations – $3,000 to $5,000 monthly.
Carolyn has gone on dates with about 15 men from the site. She’s slept with three.
“I was attracted to the guys I met. They were gentlemen, they were smart, educated and they had good jobs and wore nice clothes,” she said.
The website, which launched in 2005, is growing in popularity on college campuses. One million students have signed up for the site with .edu email addresses, representing 42 percent of users.
At GW, 129 students have used their GW email addresses to connect with wealthy men who are interested in paying for luxurious dates or making calls to connect women with jobs, said Angela Bermudo, a spokeswoman for Seeking Arrangement.
