She believes the site is successful because people are more upfront and honest about what they are looking for in a partner. She equates this to other, more traditional relationships where the lesser-earning partner benefits from the finances of the other. The website offers a variety of filters for sugar babies to be able to sort through, including salary.
The website also boasts about having a high student population with its sugar baby university. She believes one of the benefits of dating someone who is further along in their career is that students get to connect with someone who is already established. In some cases, De LA Cruz says students have been able to connect with people who help them get internships or even jobs. With every dating website, however, there are always bad actors. Seeking Arrangements says it uses artificial intelligence to search messages and profiles for transactional language that would be used in prostitution and escort cases.
If found, the user would be banned from the site. Seeking Arrangement says it is not about how wealthy some of the men and women are but rather how generous they are.
Let me take care of the rent this month. At first, Jones tried going a more traditional college route by taking out loans and working part-time jobs in a restaurants and hotels. So three years ago, an old roommate introduced Jones to Seeking Arrangements. The roommate gave her tips on how to stay safe and helped her set up her profile. Since then, Jones has had multiple relationships with people she has met through the website and says her experience has been a positive one.

She also believes there are a lot of misconceptions about what sugar dating is and that the stories that come out of it portray the extremes on either end. However, Jones admits she has gotten messages in the past from people looking to exchange money for sex and she has ignored them. Whenever she meets someone from Seeking Arrangements in person, Jones also takes steps to keep herself safe — like meeting in public places and telling trusted friends where she is going to be and when she expects that she will be home.
She also spends time getting to know the person online and having conversations with them before ever agreeing to meet with them. When she tells friends what she is doing, she says she gets one of two reactions: either the person is interested and wants to learn more, or they compare her to a prostitute. In the end, though, Jones blames the cost of college in the U. Around Boulder, current and former students say they have heard of people doing some interesting things to earn money, from selling plasma to selling naked pictures of themselves.
