SeekingArrangement.com, "where beautiful people, successful people fuel mutually beneficial relationships," is launching a Chinese version of its website to connect sugar daddies and (potentially though not probably) sugar mommas with young students looking to pay off their college debts, says Duowei News, a US-based outlet operated by overseas Chinese.
The website already has users from the US, Ukraine and Singapore is now is hoping to see find more "sugar daddies and sugar babies" in China.
An ad on the website suggests the pejorative stereotype of the "gold digger" should be discarded, as "You + SeekingArrangement = No College Debt."
A new member of the website undergoes a lecture course from dating professionals and senior website members to their dating career on the website, first identifying themselves as a sugar daddy (financial provider) or a sugar baby (recipient) when they register an account. Disclosure of personal income is required. According to an incomplete statistics, the average income of a sugar daddy or momma on the website is around €170,000 (US$188,000). The website claims the male-female gender ratio of the website's users is 1:8, though the recent hacking of the Ashley Madison dating website might cast doubt on such a claim.
SeekingArrangement.com was founded by the Singapore-born Brandon Wade, who holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and the view that love is a concept created by the poor.
