Matt Gaetz of Florida is under investigation by the Department of Justice for allegedly paying women, including a year-old girl, to have sex with him. According to a New York Times report , one of the websites he used to meet women is Seeking Arrangement. Since the platform was launched in , Seeking Arrangement has become one of the most popular websites used by sugar babies to find wealthy people to date.
Here's everything you need to know about the platform, sugaring, and sugar babies. Seeking Arrangement is a platform meant for "millionaire matchmaking. While there is no mention of it explicitly in its guidelines, many people looking to "sugar" flock to the site. Sugaring is a dynamic in which a "sugar baby," usually someone who is younger and more attractive, provides companionship, an emotional relationship, and sometimes sexual intimacy, in exchange for gifts, trips, dinners, and cash from someone called a sugar daddy.
Sugar daddies are usually older, wealthy men with established careers. Not all sugar babies have sexual relationships with their daddies - some simply exchange their time for gifts and money.
Many sugar babies and daddies view their dynamic as a relationship, with the exchange of material things coming second to romantic chemistry. There is no uniform way to sugar, as each dynamic between a sugar baby and sugar daddy is different. Some users treat it like a business transaction. A sugar baby named Ree previously told Insider she goes on dates - in exchange for a weekly allowance and gifts - to pay for university, rent, and other expenses.
