Subject: Sugar Daddies Paying College Tuition
I read a story today in the Miami Herald and shuddered as the father of an about to go off to college daughter about sugar daddies that pay college tuitions in exchange for 'companiopnship'. This is the first I've heard of this but apparently its gotten to be a pretty big deal. Hopefully this is where the good parenting skills come in, and the thought process reverts to making good decisions, but I have to say this one pretty much left me speechless...

Is this really new?

The gentlemen's clubs are filled with nice young ladies just working their way through college. From what I understand.

Sometimes it's cheaper to pay cash than alimony.

Are education expenses deductible?

Yeah but bar girls are kind of working. Here you just sign up and bingo.

I've been out of the country way too long... Here's the link to the article.

Scary, I was thinking the exact same thing. At least college is (usually) only 4 years.

This has been going on for a long time. The girls typically refer to themselves as 'sugar babies'.  Tulane has a few of them...http://www.thehullabaloo.com/news/campus_news/article_c2629d52-e0af-11e0-8a55-001a4bcf6878.html

I would have been sorely disappointed if this thread did not have a first page post from DanielG about his divorce and how bitter he still is about it.

Scoobysdad, Chris Rock calls that the #1 stripper myth.

Ok, I just changed my mind.  I will pay for my daughters' ENTIRE EDUCATION.

 

(With that said, where was my sugar momma?  Oh.  I met her in college and married her),

-eh- I'm not bitter, I really would prefer people not find out how horrible some people can be to one another and maybe avoid the experience entirely, though.

Now I feel bad about my comment. It was purely meant as a joke. For the public record, my ex is a great person and still my best friend. Divorce is just an expensive proposition, even when amicable.

My comment was basically joking as well.

None of the other stuff fits my situation, though.

Still it was said in joking manner.

How about a college kid (male) who has his tuition paid for by a sugar mommy? Is that as bad?

Consider this question as part of me researching different education funding options, as I have two boys and no girls.

Hey!!! Living (close to) Miami, I take offense at that.

Who am I kidding...I think we are winning the "weirdest state" competition we have against Arizona by a landslide. BTW, do you know if FL already called the national presidential election race either way?

Facebook should have a page where you pick who you pay for, like grocery shopping.  Ripe peaches are important.  What are we talking about again?

So.................. my wife, long before we meet... her ex-fiance paid off her Master's school loans. She amassed that debt before they meet, but he did pay it off as a part of trying to marry her. They meet in the UK and she followed him to the US. Fast forward a few years and they split up, he never asked for the money back and she did offer to repay him. Still kinda odd, he was older too. In hindsight she is not sure what #%#@ she was thinking when they where dating and then engaged.
