With more than half of the college students in Massachusetts graduating with student loan debt and the cost of college tuition rising by almost 3 percent last year, some western Massachusetts students have come up with a new financial aid plan.

This plan involves dates in exchange for money. They're doing this by becoming sugar babies, and giving sugar daddies companionship for money.

They meet through a website called SeekingArrangement.com. It matches wealthy men with younger women in need of cash.

Welcome to liberalism.

Boom! ...How long have I said this. I know a couple, shall remain nameless, he is a surgeon, she a 'stay at home mom'. She met him while in college. She was in college specifically to find such a mate. Her major, some kind of 'liberal studies' thing. Nothing that would be marketable. I call that the same kind of whoring.

Just calling it what it is.

Now that we’ve determined the profession, the only thing left is to negotiate the price!

This is called “FREE ENTERPRISE”. Leave it Americans, whether man or woman, to continue with this time honored practice.

I think Jonathan Kellerman wrote one of his mysteries around such a website...

...majority of the college females are there to find their future husbands.

Ah, yes.

Some get a BA or a BFA. Some get a BS. A few get a Masters, even fewer a PhD...

But one way or another most attempt to walk away with an MRS. Degree.

Ya think not?

Isn’t that what’s called an MRS Degree?

a new financial aid plan

It ain't new. It's the oldest financial aid plan on the planet.

If you truly believe in individual liberty, then this is a property owner doing what they want with their property. No harm is done.

The moral arguments are valid, but have no place being codified into law.
