I took a look at the site after I read the article and it seems to be also used as just a regular personals site. Many of the "sugar mommas" make around 40K per year, so I don't see how they plan to spend $1,000-$3,000 for their "sugar male babies". Some of them are also in their 20's.

However, I didn't join the site, so maybe they mention the college thing, I don't know.

Really, this stuff already goes on on personal sites, anyway. People searching for wealthy people to help take care of them. The difference is this site gives one location for those people.

So, for me, when I read the article it pushed my buttons, but when I looked at the site and saw how it was a level playing field between the sexes, it "pushed my buttons less", so to speak.

Dapper, thanks for digging deeper. I am not against women making ends meet, raising their standard of living, spending their money however they choose among consenting adults. What rubs me the wrong way is when women, men and any other gender believes are entitled to something. Although the article does not speak directly to "entitlement" for me, it pushes that button.

In the media the discussion of entitlement is usually about "minorities." What is glossed over is the reality of middle class, upper middle class and cooperate entitlements. IMO, many are born into it and do not even realize their world is full of entitlement, privlege.
