I spent a week trying to find a sugar daddy willing to pay off my student debt

It’s not worth it. I promise

If you’ve never said your student debt doesn’t scare the absolute shit out of you, you are either an offspring of Donald Trump or you are lying.

It’s not easy being a full-time college student, especially when you have to throw a part time job on top of your busy schedule. I don’t know about you, but my minimum wage job won’t even make a dent in my student loans.

Instead of dealing with this overwhelming debt hanging over my head day after day, I decided to do the logical thing and find myself a sugar daddy.

To make things clear, I had no intentions of ever meeting these men and I never did. I was only interested in finding out what it would take to have a stranger pay off my student loans.

I started with the help of my roommates and created an account on seekingarrangements.com.

With a super attractive sunburn on my chest, we attempted to take some semi attractive pictures that would trick middle-aged men into paying for school.

Once the pictures were taken, I started a profile under the name Ciara Donavan. I decided not to hide my intentions at all and be as blatant as possible, using “really just looking for someone to pay my tuition” as my header.

Minutes after my profile was approved, I had 14 messages in my inbox.

When I checked my profile the next day, I had over 50 messages waiting for me, which gave me the idea that this search would be easy. It became very apparent that these men have very low standards, and were willing to pay obscene amounts of money to have a pretend girlfriend.

I started out attempting to have normal conversations with the guys that had messaged me but that was clearly not possible.

Most conversations jumped right to my sexual interests and planned involvement within in the ‘relationship.’

I decided to be more upfront about what I was looking for.

I started to be blunt saying things such as “I need $20,000 to pay for my tuition,” and “What would it take for you to pay my school bills?” hoping it would induce some interesting responses. I was not let down.

If I keep this up, I can graduate college debt free and financially stable.

It may seem too good to be true. That’s because it is. In my week long search, I had men laugh at me, show me pictures of their children, and describe my body in ways I never imagined possible.

I’ve received many offers to pay my tuition, more than I even imagined, but that money does not come easily and isn’t worth the hassle. I’ll stick to my retail job.

I’d rather have middle age men scold me because I forgot to remove the sensor from their shirt, instead of because I refused to touch their genitals for $300.

I’m worth at least $400. Just kidding… Maybe.

Mad respect to anyone that lives the life of a sugar baby though, but it’s too much work for me.
