mark had stumbled onto a website called seeking arrangement. for a monthly fee, men and women can search for someone who catches their eye, message each other and set up dates. but here, it s understood that women or sugar babies are young and expect to be spoiled with gifts and money and that men or sugar daddies are older, successful and generous. tell me how it feels to be seen with a beautiful intelligent 20 year old girl. of course it makes you feel good. there s always the fantasy of being successful. if you re a rock star, you have a super model for a girlfriend. if you have money, you have an attractive person that goes around and does stuff with you. so what are some of the things that you ve provided for some of the women that you ve gone on dates with? apartments, cars, money. shopping trips. you know, normal stuff.
spanned the last five years. i see that he was indicted for theft by deisception after trying to buy a house with a bad check. he plead guilty and got five years probation. so it seems that the sugar daddy has a checkered past, and mural may have dodged a major bullet. we tried to reach mark for comment, but he has not returned our calls. seeking arrangement tells us they run back ground checks and verify net worth, but only for diamond members who pay nearly $1300 a year. just a small fraction of daddies opt for that transparency, and mark isn t one of them. back in new york, allison is having her own second thoughts about sugaring, after seeking arrangement s masquerade mixer. the beginning of the party
yeah. oh, my gosh. i think i pulled something. so first off, how did you find out about sugaring? my friend and i were watching like a talk show, and it was like, don t do this, so we were, like, let s do this. did you have any reservations about it or did you jump into it. no. of course, i was really afraid of meeting people. i was afraid to ask for anything. i didn t know how to. if you don t ask you don t receive. allison was 18 when she first logged on to seeking arrangement. within a couple weeks, she had hundreds of messages from daddies eager to meet. and offering the kind of cash she d never seen before. can you divulge how much you ve gotten after a date? a lot? yeah. like $1,000? or? the most i ve ever gotten was
people are always checking others out, but this is definitely i m surrounded on all sides by older men chatting up younger women. and i spot some possible sugar mamas. it is a small but growing contingent on the site. it is feeling more like a training ground where everyone has something to offer and gain. hi. hi. i m lisa. are you having fun at the party? yeah. cool. what are you doing? are you looking for an arrangement? i am looking for a man who will talk on camera. maybe the people here tonight are protecting their reputations or marriages, but at first, no one wants to be filmed talking to me. but as the night wears on, babies and daddies come forward. so you re contemplating the idea of trying to find a sugar baby? a worthy investment, if you want to put it in banking terms. so you re talking about someone who might need trouble
