    I can see the appeal...
    MORE than 4,000 hard-up Irish students have signed up to a 'sugar daddy' dating service to pay their way through college.

    Some 4,464 female undergraduates here have joined SeekingArrangement.com, a US-based online-dating website, which pairs off young women with wealthy – and usually much older – international businessmen...

    The statistics show that four of the top 10 colleges using the service are based in Dublin.
    UCD tops the list, with 399 members, followed by Trinity College Dublin at 395.

    The Indo

    It is from that bleeding rag, but it's pretty mental all the same. Not that surprising though, fees are a pretty worrisome thing!

    Here's the Belfast Telegraph on the subject in the north:

    Apparently so. There's nothing but turf and sheep within five miles of me, but Anastasia is less than a mile away and horny, she must be one of the ewes


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 26,403 Mod ✭✭✭✭Peregrine


    UCD works out at 1.6% of their total students doing this.

    That's actually nothing considering half of the students would do it for free.

    It's still a shame but I don't see what anyone can do about this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭dodderangler


    So they charge for sex sober
    Then go out on weekend and someone buys a drink for them and they do it for free?

    Isn't prostitution the oldest profession in the world......I'd say most that signed up but won't go through with it. some kind of publicity stunt to increase traffic on there site.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭Ace Attorney

    I'd say the female students on that website are about as real as the webpage ads you see for "Single horny women in Dungarvan".

    Two quotes that sum up relationships.


    dating website, which pairs off young women with wealthy - ... men.


    Ms Jacob said: "We've seen an increased interest from Ireland since the economy has been in recession.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 404 ✭✭frank reynolds


    surely daddy's KPMG salary could afford the college fee's????

    And I'd say the "international businessmen" are about as rich as the students are real.

    Bullshît.

    C. 30,000 people go to college every year.

    Even if all courses were 4 years, that's 120,000 undergrads at college at one time

    = 60,000 girls.
    => 1 in 13 female undergrads has put themselves on the website?

    Crap.

    Three Christians were arguing.

    "God created Eve from Adam's rib. Hence surgery is the world's oldest profession", said the surgeon.

    "He constructed the world from chaos in 6 days before that. So mine is the world's oldest profession", said the engineer.

    "Who do you think created the chaos?", smiled the politician.

    Crap.

    The percentage would be lower than that considering how many drop out each year. There are far more 1st years than 3rd/4th years.

    But, it is great advertisement for the website.

    Any chance this would happen in Galway too? Dublin is too far away.

    hardly news...go home indo your drunk


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Where do they get this information from? I can only assume it's direct from the websites PR department as the link to that story is now on their press page.

    This is clearly the Indo doing some on the sly advertising for this website.

    "UCD tops the list"

    That's going to be my next quip in the UCD v Trinity debate :pac:
