'Sugar Daddy' Dating Website Says A Lot More College Girls Are Signing Up To Help Pay For School

[FarCenter]

College tuition is expensive, and more and more women are turning to "sugar daddies" for a leg up, claims Brandon Wade, founder of "sugar daddy" dating website SeekingArrangement.com.

The sometimes controversial, always entertaining online dating guru just released a list of the 20 universities with the most "sugar baby" signups in 2012. Both Columbia and NYU made the list — perhaps not surprising considering they are some of the most expensive colleges in America.

According to Wade, the website saw a 58 percent increase in co-ed signups in 2012, and 44 percent of the "sugar babies" on the website are now college students. The site seems to be encouraging the trend: anyone who signs up for the website with a college ".edu" email address gets a free membership upgrade.

In a press release, Wade blamed colleges and their ever-increasing tuition rates for the rise of co-eds on his "sugar daddy" site.

1. World's oldest profession.

Nothing wrong with it. It's just sad that the citizens of so-called greatest nation on Earth have to resort to such things.

2. It's a sign of the times. A lot of people having a rough time just trying to make ends meet and

feed their families. There isn't any money left to help their kids with college. This is America, woman shouldn't have to prostitute themselves to get an education. It's going to get even worse with so many companies going to max 30 hour work weeks.

We desperately need someone, anyone, to address the economy. We need a jobs act. America is falling and it can't get up.

3. I watch a lot of foreign films

and this has been the subject matter for a number of French movies I've seen lately. Apparently, in recent years, this has become more common in France. Sometimes the girls get used to the easy money and continue even after graduation, or drop out of school altogether.
