‘Sugar Daddy’ Dating Sites Say Government Shutdown A Huge Boost To Sign-Ups

An online dating website which bills itself as “The World’s Largest Sugar Daddy Dating Website” says it has recorded a 50 percent jump in average daily sign-ups since the start of the government shutdown.

SeekingArrangement.com claims its traffic has seen a dramatic rise in people seeking “sugar daddy’s,” which Merriam-Webster defines as: “A well-to-do usually older man who supports or spends lavishly on a mistress, girlfriend, or boyfriend.”

Similarly, WhatsYourPrice.com – which allows first-dates to the highest bidder – has reported a similar massive increase in daily signups since last Sunday despite the fall typically being a slow time of year for such financial matching websites.

BWA HA HA AHA HA HHAAAAA

I don't know what to think of this.

It makes me sad to see such desperation in people once the government spigot is threatened.

But, I'm no dating expert. Maybe they'll start out in relationships for the wrong reasons and somehow it'll all work out where they fall madly in love . . . until gov't reopens.

Could this not also correspond to people finding out what their mandated health care cost is going to be?

“Half of the new members are single moms, so we’re thinking that it’s tied directly to the government shutdown, since programs like WIC (the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children), that help more than 9 million moms, have been stalled. It would make no sense for growth otherwise.”


Seeking Arrangment noted another tie to the government shutdown: the worldwide website only saw a membership spike in the U.S. since last Sunday, and difficult economic times commonly encourage traffic to such dating websites.

Whatsyourprice.com, seriously?? I suppose next they'll name one vaccumthisduffershog.com or (dont)bitethebullet.net...

[tangent4ronpaul]

Methinks the ethnic makeup of that site just went into a tail spin. Funny that they don't mention that... (2011 numbers)

Single moms by percent and number:
American Indian 53% (355 Thousand)
Asian 17% (half a Million)
Black 67% (6.5 Million)
Hispanic 42% (6.9 Milion)
White 25% (9.5 Million)
Total 35% (24.7 Million)
2 or more races 42% (1.65 Million)

Now, who are Obama's "base"?

I think the Dems might regret cancelling WIC come the next couple of election cycles...

I did a moment after I posted prior. The one I found so far is olderwomendating.com. I'll look into those others. Needs me a sugar momma. ;) :D :cool:

[devil21]

These websites seem to me to be basically prostitution ads masquerading as "FWB dating".

Oh wow, thanks for this. I need to find myself a wealthy woman to cover the costs of my idea for a gay pasta company called Gayrilla with commercials featuring homosexual couples and families with two moms/dads. It'll feature a really hairy gorilla on the front of boxes, and the two "L's" in the name will be phallic in shape.

Why not Penne? That has to be my more popular line.
Angel Hair, too. Because... FABULOUSNESS.

Oh God, yeah. There's a huge market for gluten-free products right now, so there's no way I'm going to ignore that.

Because it's hard to make penne conform to being "LGBT"? :)
