Lafayette Native Talks About Website That Links Her To A ‘Sugar Daddy’ For Extra Income

20 year old LSU student, known in this article only as Ashley, is a Lafayette native. She used the website Seeking Arrangement to find herself a 'Sugar Daddy' to help pay her tuition and living expenses. 

Ashley spoke to The Advocate, showing them plane tickets with her name on them showing she's flown out several times to Santa Barbara, CA, which is where her 'Sugar Daddy' Mark lives.

She said her “sugar daddy” pays her a $1,200 “allowance” for every weekend they spend together. She said there is intimacy between them but it hasn’t progressed to sex.

 

She asked that only her first name be used because her family might be angry if they knew that she does this.

Ashley, who asked to be identified only by her first name because she fears her family would be angry, hopes to go to medical school one day and does not want the stigma to follow her. The Advocate verified she was enrolled at LSU, and she said she is not being paid to talk to the newspaper.

She said she created a profile on the website about a year ago and found her “sugar daddy” four months later after a lengthy back-and-forth exchange of email, text messages and phone calls. He’s a California businessman named Mark.

Ashley said her “sugar daddy” flies her out to Santa Barbara regularly on weekends, sometimes two or three times a month.

“At first, I was just hoping he wasn’t a creep and I wasn’t going to get my limbs chopped off and stuffed in a suitcase,” Ashley said. “But now I think he just maybe wanted some arm candy. We go to dinner; we meet his friends. It doesn’t seem like an arrangement at all.”

 

Do you know anyone who does this sort of thing? Would you ever do something like this?
