Teachers Are Signing Up to Sugar Daddy Sites by the Thousands

FloridaStruggling teachers across the country are seeking extra income on a popular sugar daddy site, and nearly 10 percent of them come from Florida.

SeekingArrangement, the self-proclaimed largest sugar daddy site in the world, said more than 10,000 American teachers use sugar daddies due to their low teaching salaries.

And 999 of them come from Florida, the site’s data team confirmed Wednesday.

Florida ranks fourth in the nation in terms of teacher sugar babies. At the top of the list is California with 1,672. New York was right behind with 1,489, and Texas was third with 1,302. The breakdown has 87 in Orlando. As for other large metropolitan areas, there were 159 sugar babies in Fort Lauderdale and 180 in Miami.

New York Hundreds of city teachers are boosting their incomes through lucrative liaisons with sugar daddies, according to the dating website SeekingArrangement.com, which pairs attractive young people with rich, typically older romantic partners. …

A total of 451 Big Apple teachers, mainly women, are engaged in extracurriculars with SA’s well-heeled “daddies,” according to the site.

The majority hail from Brooklyn, where 206 of the sugar-baby educators have sought connections. Another 83 call Manhattan home, while 74 live in the Bronx, 58 in Queens and 30 on Staten Island.

I think I speak for all of us when I say it’s unfortunate our nation’s teachers have to worry about how they pay the bills when the work they do is both so important and so challenging. It does not reflect well on our society that we pay so little to the ones who hold our future in their hands and so much to those who sit around writing satiric blogs mocking the ones who have sex with their students.

And yet, here is a perfect example of the free market in all its glory. The public sector has its priorities screwed up, government fails in its commitment to its most important employees, and yet free citizens find a way. The market corrects itself.

Thanks to the desire of lonely old men with disposable income to get attention from women they don’t know, America’s teachers have found a work around. All they have to do is pretend to give a shit about the prattlings of some socially awkward weirdo, and voila! The income inequality problem is solved.

This is capitalism at it’s very best. A free people figuring out a way to monetize their skills. In this case, the ability to pretend to care about what someone is saying and make them feel appreciated so they, in turn, will respect you. Which is half the battle when it comes to teaching. Except in this case, that appreciation comes not from shutting up in class, putting their phones away and finishing their oral report on the Solar System on time. I comes in the form of much more satisfying things like shopping sprees, expensive jewelry and piles of cash.

Sure, in every economy there are winners and there are losers. Every minute a teacher spends with some introverted finance nerd so he’ll buy her a Prada bag is a minute less she has to seduce her students. But designer leather a commodity in the same way that Teacher Sex is. If the high school kids don’t like it, they’ll just have to come up with their own innovation to swing the power back to them.

So well done, SeekingArrangement.com. Congrats, teachers of Florida, New York, California and Texas. Enjoy your new side gigs. But just never forget that Sex Scandal Teacher glory is forever. And you can’t put a price tag on that.
