SeekingArrangement (also known as Seeking) is an American sugar baby, sugar daddy and Sugar momma dating website[2] founded by MIT graduate Brandon Wade in San Francisco, California in 2006.[3][4] Wade is currently the company's CEO.[5]

  • A Diamond Membership from Seeking Arrangement is a higher level membership that gives you some additional perks. Currently, the membership costs about 3x what a normal premium membership costs. With the Diamond Membership from Seeking Arrangement, you get: Faster responses from members; Featured on the attractive members dashboard.
  • If you’re curious what that upgraded membership is, here’s a full breakdown of what a Seeking Arrangement Premium Membership costs. While we think you should just jump on the free trial and give it a go since it takes about a minute to set up and requires no credit card or billing information, we understand if you want some more information.

Section 8.c. of the membership agreement of Seeking Arrangements grants them full perpetual rights to use anything put on their site by members. Section 13.c. gives them the right to release members' user information and identity to anyone if Seeking Arrangements deems the release to be 'reasonable.' Website members' data is retained forever.[6]

Seeking Arrangement membership prices and safety. If the user wants to create an account on Seeking Arrangement and become a member here, it can be done totally free and without any payment. But with free membership, the user will be unable to find the matching partner on Seeking Arrangement because it is impossible for free. How long does it take to get approved for Seeking Arrangements? This usually takes 24 hours, however, if the site is experiencing high volume then it might take up to 48 hours. If you haven’t completed your profile and are not a Premium Member then you need to complete your profile first before your photos enter the approval process.

The SeekingArrangement business model is based on a membership system. Sugar babies create profiles and join the website free of charge. Sugar baby members who register with their university email address automatically qualify for a Premium Membership status.[7] Sugar Daddies and Mamas are able to register for site services free of charge, which provides them with a limited number of messages. After the trial period has expired, members have the option to either purchase credits for expanded messaging privileges on a monthly basis or on an annual basis with the Diamond Package.[8] The initial model also relied heavily on their stated mission for membership acquisition and retention, by stating that both Sugar Daddies, Sugar Babies and Mamas could get what they wanted when they wanted. Such criticism on more traditional relationships, namely, that traditional relationships do not offer such advantages and the 2014 statement by its CEO Brandon Wade that love is 'a concept invented by poor people'[9] started a backlash; and in terms of its business model competitive analysis, it fell short of foreseeing the large market gap this would create for other dating sites to explore the market share consisting of genuine sugar babies seeking true relationships.[10]

Members join for free, and can currently access the site from 139 countries[3] with translations in ten languages.[11] The company headquarters is presently located in Las Vegas, NV. There are additional offices located in Ukraine and Singapore.

In 2010, SeekingArrangement.com began offering free Premium Memberships to students who register using their university email addresses.[12] The company expanded its offering to college students in Canada,[13] Australia, the United Kingdom,[14][15] France,[16] and various parts of Europe.

In 2014, over 1.4 million students were registered on the website in search of Sugar Daddies and Sugar Mommies.[17] Requests from Sugar Babies varied from assistance with college expenses to monthly allowances for living expenses.[18]

In 2015, Seeking Arrangement released a list of the top 20 colleges attended by girls using the website as sugar babies. The number one university on the list was the University of Texas. Other information on sugar babies was also provided such as the average allowance and a breakdown of what girls spent their allowance on.[19]

Controversy[edit]

When the 2012 Republican National Convention took place in Tampa Bay, Florida, SeekingArrangement.com saw a 25.9% increase of site users stemming from this geographic area. This increase translates to the average of 1,823 daily users increasing to 2,295 accessing the site at this reported time.[20]The Huffington Post quotes “politicians in the Republican Party had more than just politics on their mind.”[20] Huffington Post continued to state that further evidence suggests that of the 200,000 Sugar Daddy users, 42.1% reportedly identify as Republicans and 34.9% as Democrats.[20]

In 2011 former New York U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner posted a photograph of sexual nature via his Twitter page. Six women would come to light admitting that they had engaged in sexually charged phone relationships with the married representative.[21] Sydney Elaine Leathers, one of the six women Weiner had extramarital contact with, admitted to meeting Weiner on the SeekingArrangement site. Leathers has since admitted to using similar sites since the age of 19.[22]
