美国大学女生兴起“傍大款”热潮

As college costs continue their stubborn rise, and with work harder to come by during an anemic economic recovery, some students are resorting to a rather unusual measure in order to pay their college bills.

在美国当前经济复苏势头疲软的形势下，大学学费持续上涨，但工作却更难找到，一些学生正求助于另一种非常手段来支付大学费用。

"Sugar Daddies," wealthy older men who provide financial support to younger women in exchange for sex and companionship, have seen a rise in popularity among college students struggling to find a way to pay tuition.

College student membership on SeekingArrangement.com, a website that matches sugar daddies and sugar babies, has increased by 58 percent from December 2011 to December 2012.

"Currently, we have over 2 million members, 44 percent of whom are college students," Leroy Velasquez, public relations manager at SeekingArrangement. com, told ABC News. "It's very difficult to retain a part time or full-time job, especially when you have an academic life. With SeekingArrangement, we offer these types of relationships."

Asked if he thought the anemic economy was contributing to the rise in sugar daddy arrangements, Velasquez said, "I think it's directly correlated. We are in a very recessive economy, tuition costs and costs of living have increased and people are finding alternative ways of funding a college education, in this case becoming a sugar baby."
