A growing number of Canadian university students confronted by rising tuition costs are turning to an unlikely source for financing their education: generous "Sugar Daddies" willing to pony up cash in exchange for a "mutually beneficial relationship."

The trend is highlighted by the makers of the website SeekingArrangement.com, an online service that connects those looking for a benefactor (the Sugar Babies) with the Sugar Daddies who want to help them.

According to the site's founder and CEO Brandon Wade, the ratio of female "Babies" vying for each man's attention is roughly 12:1

...

Considering the rising cost of university tuition and the widespread unemployment that makes it hard for young scholars to find well-paying work to fund it, Wade says his site has seen the number members who are university students grow from 30 per cent in 2006 to approximately 50 per cent last year.

And the upward trend show no signs of slowing in Canada, where the website reports a 46-per-cent increase in the number of university students who signed up in 2012.

According to its latest membership data, the website ranks Ryerson University in Toronto, with its 183 new members in 2012, at the top of its list of Canadian post-secondary institutions.

The Top 20 list of universities in Canada (in descending order with the number of new sign-ups in parentheses) also includes:

University of Ottawa (179)
University of Toronto (156)
McGill University (148)
University of Alberta (125)

I sure know a few. I think with what I have paid them they should be good for a couple of PhD programs :biggrin2:

70 % I've been told. Ratio of 1 out of 3.

Makes logic sense?

One out of three equals 70%, huh? Must be the new math. :blush2:

Once saw an MPA who was enrolled in the same program where I teach. Fortunately she hadn't been in any of my classes. Yet. She seemed to think the prospect of that eventually happening was far more amusing than I, however. Amazing session, but I definitely did not repeat.

I had a really beautiful student in one chemistry lab I was teaching, many years ago. She and I would joke a lot, but I didn't want to get involved with one of my students (something about university guidelines!). That summer I met her again when she was dancing at the local strip joint. Embarassment all around to start, but we hung around all summer. She dropped out the next year, and I never saw her again.
