So I was reading the Stranger today, and they had a special section on how to save/make money in what they are calling the "new depression." Most of it was nonsense (as the Stranger is prone to do), i.e. how to become a drug dealer, how to steal a car, etc. There was one section about a popular dating website called sugardaddie.com.
It's no secret that I have a strange little hobby of checking out personal ads. I have never responded to one, but it entertains me to see what men say in trying to attract a woman. It never ceases to amaze me! So I was drawn in at the prospect of a new website to peruse in my downtime.
The website is ridiculous. The tagline is "Where the affluent meet." It is blatantly for rich men and beautiful women. Shallow, shallow, shallow. The women are on there to look for men who will spend large sums of money on them, and the men are looking for women to be trophies. The website claims to not have anything to do with prostitution, but it seems pretty damn close. It just seems that instead of a wad of cash in the morning, it's a good meal, and perhaps a chinchilla coat.
The only way to look at the profiles, though, is to sign up. I am DYING to see what these people look like and what they write and who they are. But I feel as though I cannot sign up for this thing and be able to sleep at night. I mean just receiving e-mails from them would be shameful enough, but to actually have to make a profile and be out there... Yikes.
I've got too much time on my hands. Baseball season needs to start soon. The 2009 M's commercials are great!!! The Felix one is the best, of course.
