i saw a documentary like this the other day, only it was more shocking (to me at least).
it was this organization in Russia that has like a list of women that are looking to get married to someone from the west and that can provide for them, offer them a better life, etc. i mean, girls as young as 18 looking for completely random strangers from the other half of the world and whom they do not share a language with (i mean most spoke very basic english) to get MARRIED. the guy (usually american, of course) has to pay for the all the expenses, and if they didn't get married within 2 months of the girl being brought to the US, then she gets deported. it's like an entirely established system it was sooo shocking to me. and of course you got some terrible cases, like this american guy that was a fat ass psycho bitch ended up murdering the girl. but the simple thought of marrying someone from the west only because he can provide for the women was just so new to me. i understand it, and it's sad since they are basically poor and stuff, but still it weirded me out. anyways just wanted to share that, cuz its certainly relevant to this.
has anyone heard about that?

This is great. Why be so taboo about it - Now you have somewhere to go if money is your main attraction.

This is nothing more than prostitution stretched over a longer period of time. Hence, it should be scorned as such.

No it's not. This is basically a really expensive escort service.
The reason I look down on the act of prostitution is that many of the women involved don't really have a choice. Or have been suckered in to such a terrible existence perhaps through no fault of their own, then of course you can delve in to the kidnappings, rape, drug addictions, unwanted births and pimps that are associated with prostitution.
This has none of that, the girls involved are probably just "magazine pretty" and are spoilt little brats that want money. The guys involved are just rich lonely guys that sacrificed all social skills in the pursuit of money and never got the women they thought they would. Of course I'm just stereotyping here, but from looking around the site for 5 minutes that's pretty much the gist of it. You just have to accept it as a bunch of pathetic people on a niche “dating site”

I loathe rich people who really got nothing going for them except money, who want to hook up with beautiful women using their money. Nerds, know your place. I mean, calculating the cost of a wife vs prostitute is just a bit too aspergers
everybody wants a hot girl. The ugly socially awkward guys know they can't get them by looks or personality alone, so they work hard to make that money so they can buy them. Yeah they use what they got, in this case its their money. I don't see anything wrong with that ;p

it's prostitution but with a contract, i feel that if both parties are in accord it is perfectly viable.
I find it odd so many are so disgusted by this.
not my cup of tea mind you but still i can hardly see what's wrong with willing women swapping sex for money, this seems to be a more humane ( risk free) way of accomplishing it considering the contract.
It's called rape without the contract lol

How exactly is it rape when the woman is willingly exchanging sex for money.
|

|
Even without a contract if the woman is willing then it's not rape.

If you're referring to a contract as either a written or verbal agreement, then you've changed the context.
Sure it's rape if there's no written contract, verbal agreement or consent from the other person involved and done by [threat of] force.

Divorce is ridiculously biased towards women now and many men without "game" do well financially - the rise of such a "service" was inevitable.

I've never understood why men want to pamper women. Especially when the man has all the money and the woman is a gold digger only without the traditional tools.
Also, Sam's requirement of "drop-dead beautiful, sexy, fun and elegantly mannered in a fancy setting. She must turn heads . . . and make me the envy of the crowd" coupled with his supposed mathematical background makes me wonder why he hasn't considered the statistics behind finding a woman with such features. Given the number of people in the world I'm sure it's not too uncommon. Instead of offering a $60,000 year contract he should design an auction where the women can make bids (about their desired amounts) and then Sam can choose with respect to payment, as well as looks and personality. That way he might find someone "worth more" than $60k to him that he wants or someone worth the $60k but is willing to accept less.

has anyone heard about that?
this is basically mail-order brides.. i know a girl whose father did this, the relationship didn't even last a year. i also know a friend who married some girl just so she would get her green card.. that marriage failed pretty quickly too. its really a shame how devalued marriage has become, about 50% of marriages end in divorce

In the long run, what would any of this change? Is this site something that's seriously going to stamp out marriage for genuine reasons of love and caring? I don't think so.
It's a supply and demand service that gives both parties what they want. The men want attention and feigned affection and they're willing to pay for it, the girls want money and they're given an easy way to get it if they meet the visual requirements. It may be akin to prostitution if sex is involved but at least the way it's done on this site allows for some modicum of vetting and security.
Street prostitution may be an ugly thing but it's been around a long time, it's not going to go away and people need to understand that. I may not approve morally but I'd rather it be legalized so that there's a greater chance of support and protection for the women involved than continuing attempts to keep it illegal as it currently is in most countries around the world.
Also, it's not like the majority of people are losing anything from this sugar daddy website. I'm pretty sure that no one here feels like they're missing out on dating a materialistic girl who wants a shitload of cash for looking nice because they're too busy signing up to that site. And if you do feel like you're missing out, go earn some money and register there. The rest of us can continue to seek out people who care little about the size of a bank account so we can eventually settle down in the good old fashioned way

I dunno, it seems pretty interesting - most guys don't get to the top of the corporate ladder without being at least somewhat discerning in dealing with people, so it'd be pretty easy to root out the obvious golddiggers
although to be fair, some of these guys will probably be completely helpless to a very skilled manipulative, but immature woman and lose a good amount of their wealth if they invest far too much
at any rate, I think this is a good thing if in the long run it helps these silly gentlemen with too much money and too much pride to get over themselves a bit and learn how to relate with women
and, well, I'm glad people are acknowledging it for what it is
