Highly educated whores

It would appear that America is going the way of La Serenissima in creating a class of educated courtesans:

People who are looking for the perfect match, both men and women, go online seeking a certain kind of arrangement. A “sugar baby” is typically younger and eager for adventure. A “sugar daddy” is usually an older, financially established provider. A website called www.seekingarrangement.com helps the two meet.

So what is the ratio for these consenting adults? Well, most dating websites have more men than women. But at seekingarrangement.com, it’s the opposite. The ratio is 20 sugar babies to every one sugar daddy.

The interesting thing is that this clearly shows the common feminist claim that women are "forced" into prostitution to be false, at least in the USA. The statistics here serve as evidence that women are between 30 and 40 times more interested in providing prostitution services at the "sugar" rates than men are in making use of them. Contra the Platinum Vagina assumptions of women who place an improbably high value on their sexual services, sex has a relatively high price-elasticity. And if the one million users reported is an accurate number, (I tend to doubt it myself), that would indicate around 28,500 men and 970,000 college-age hookers willing to consider transactions in this price range.

That's a substantial quantity, considering that there are only 2.1 million women in the average U.S. school class. I don't know what the age limit of the web site is, but if we assume it accepts women between the ages of 18 to 28, that means that at least 5 percent of all the women that age, and a higher percentage of all the women in college, are literal whores. Do you feel lucky, punk?

Remember, this is the attitude with which you may, unbeknownst to you, be dealing. "[A]nother pretty, young Miami college girl, who does not want to be identified, is more direct, asking specifically for 10 to 20-thousand dollars monthly. The 22-year old claims to be looking for someone who will never say ”NO” to her needs."

So much for the idea that all women want is for a man to be nice and confident with a sense of humor.

I don't know if it is more amusing or appalling that the feminist focus on education may have had the unintended effect of turning more young women into willing prostitutes than heroin and pedophiles combined. And the effect of these little sugar hookers finding it easier to pay college than the average woman means that the hypergamous female college graduate is going to be facing even stiffer, more ruthless competition for the declining number of college-educated men.

Question du jour: As a college man, would you prefer to enter into a long-term relationship with a typical college slut (N=15+) or with a sugar hooker with N<6?
