Wade said he has more than 1 million registered users looking for a “mutually beneficial relationship”.
Wade said 40 percent of the Sugar Babies are college students. USF leads the state with 93 students enrolled last year and ranks 7th in the nation. Wade said USF has a total of 198 USF students signed up as “Sugar Babies”.
“Mostly because of the bad economy more and more people jumping into the sugar lifestyle. The membership on the website has gone up as the economy has tanked. Primarily people looking for an alternative way to support themselves put themselves through school,” explains Wade.
Gina said the concept of “Sugar Daddy” and “Sugar Baby” walks a fine line.

Police in Florida are not having it when it comes to public sex. We recently reported on a massive operation involving the arrest of some 600 men in parks around Palm Beach. Now comes word that four men in the Tampa Bay area were arrested yesterday for soliciting sex in Peace River Park.
This wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that the Republican National Convention will be in Tampa this summer, does it? Naaah.
If it did, it’d be pretty ironic considering some of the guys who were nabbed: Evangelical minister Matthew Preston Clark (right) and retired police officer Carl Robert Kitchen.
Why, it’s the very sort of people who enforce good wholesome traditional values!
We don’t think anyone should have the book thrown at them for a little public hanky panky, but the hypocrisy is so fresh you could smear it on a bagel.

Pasco Sheriff’s Deputy Kip Mello wore a star on his shirt, a gold badge on his belt next to a handgun and Taser.
He held a police radio in his hand.
None of this seemed to deter Laquila Monique Courtney.
On the corner of Porter Road and Bowman Street in Dade City, she leaned in the window of Mello’s car and offered him oral sex for $20, the deputy reported.
Mello told her he didn’t have the money and would have to go to an ATM. He returned 20 minutes later and she was still there.
…
She remained in the Land O’Lakes jail on Wednesday, charged with solicitation of prostitution and possession of paraphernalia.
