Woman has $35k luxe lifestyle and university fees funded thanks to sugar daddies
A young woman has enjoyed a luxury £20,000 (A$35,000) lifestyle thanks to her ‘sugar daddy‘ – and claims it backs her feminist views.
Jordan Taylor, 28, has spent the last four years holidaying in exotic locations and being financially supported during her Yale University education.
But the Dartmouth graduate, holding a Bachelor of Arts in Government, insists her lifestyle isn’t extravagant and only uses the website ‘Seeking Arrangements’ so she’s able to pamper and better herself as a feminist.
“This kind of dating empowers women, and I’m proudly feminist,” Jordan said. “Women need to start speaking up for what they want, and that includes relationships.
“Women earn less so I’ve got to catch up somehow.”
Jordan, from Connecticut, US, has had four ‘sugar daddies’ since her early twenties and believes her cash gifts and holidays empower her to become more independent.
“To be a sugar baby, a girl doesn’t need to be a pin-up or a playboy girl,” she explained. “Sugar lifestyle can also be include marriages and serious connections.
“Some of my relationships have also been platonic.”
Jordan insists her sugar baby lifestyle has helped her “better herself”.
“I’m currently having art classes paid for, and completing a certificate program with HBX – Harvard Business,” she said.
She’s also enjoyed luxe holidays to the Grand Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic and Hawaii.
Jordan believes sugar dating consist of mutually beneficial relationships—sometimes in the form of companionship in exchange for being pampered.
“Every relationship is a ongoing negotiation,” she said. “Both parties are coming to the table looking for something from the deal, and hopefully having something to offer.
“Previous sugar daddies have just fizzled out, now I’m settle with my current boyfriend.”
Since joining sugar dating website, Seeking Arrangements, Jordan has had roughly four sugar daddies.
She said, “I was dissatisfied and unhappy with hook-up culture.
“Sugar dating seemed to be an excellent alternative to the current dating app arena.
“Let’s face it, there’s nothing empowered about being broke or women wasting their precious time and energy with men who do not value them.”
Now, she is currently in a happy relationship with her boyfriend who she met on Seeking Arrangements and doesn’t want to be named.
“He’s invested several thousand dollars on me so far and they’ve only been dating nine months,” Jordan said. “My boyfriend has paid for my art classes – he’s fostering my growth and development as a human being.
“Indeed, that starts with our closest personal relationships, and especially in the bedroom.”
Jordan is now writing a book based on her experiences sugar dating, entitled, Poison Ivy: Feminist Reflections on the League.
