New York City sugar baby mixers pull in some high-profile, wealthy attendees as well as young, attractive women seeking older counterparts. Obviously, the other, more quintessentially "college" activities - kegs, finals, and Ramen noodles, of course – are still alive and well, but combining the rising costs of student loan debt with our ever-changing attitudes about relationships and traditions means more and more millennials have gotten resourceful when it comes to planning for the future, or at least making enough extra cash to skip the Ramen.Īccording to USA Today, Google Trends shows a huge increase in interest for those seeking sugar daddies over the last few years, partially due to the rise of sugar-based dating practices on college campuses. Seriously, profiles on the sugar baby dating site were almost as common as Tinder or Bumble profiles. Creating a profile on Seeking Arrangement, which boasts itself as the "world's largest sugar daddy dating website," practically seemed like a rite-of-passage for everyone I knew in college.

Most notoriously, she called gossip blogger Perez Hilton-the gay man who introduced Katy Perry and Lady Gaga to America-"a messy faggot." Instead of apologizing like most people would do in the age of Twitter and social justice Tumblrs, Banks defended her right to use hate speech: "Why has society accepted 'nigger' as a colloquialism… But will not accept 'faggot'?" she said in a (now deleted) tweet.Īs a gay man and professional writer, I have mostly ignored her comments because her songs occupy the middle ground between my love for loud, angry music, like the Smashing Pumpkins', and campy pop stars like Paris Hilton. In the last few years, Banks has become better known for her homophobic Twitter beefs than her music. Feel free to reach out with suggestions and questions.
