In the documentary, BBC journalist Tiffany Sweeney creates a profile on Seeking Arrangement’s U.K. One UK student talks about the temptation of sugar dating.Īccording to Seeking Arrangement, the University of Toronto, York University, University of Waterloo, McGill University and Carleton University are the top 5 ‘fastest growing sugar baby schools of 2019’ The Canadian version of the platform claims that more than 300,000 Canadian students use its services to meet “sugar daddies” or “sugar mommies.” Seeking Arrangement has dedicated a section of its website to “Sugar Baby University,” positioning sugar dating as a fun, lucrative way to avoid student debt and boost career opportunities. One such website specifically markets to teens and young adults in college. And sometimes, those people are cash-strapped students. The very nature of a so-called sugar arrangement, however, brings together the worlds of money and intimacy - opening up a grey area between dating and sex work that can lure young people in financially precarious situations. To stay on the right side of the law, the sites often say that they prohibit prostitution and escorting. What is sugar dating, exactly? Secrets of Sugar Baby Dating, a new documentary presented by The Passionate Eye, explores online platforms aiming to connect high-net-worth individuals and young, attractive people.
It’s an “arrangement.” It’s a form of “networking.” It’s definitely not cash for sex, the websites say - instead, it’s a “mutually beneficial relationship.”
