SeekingArrangement is a niche dating site that targets specific users. Since it is not a general dating site, some people who stumble upon it accidentally might be put off by its concept. However, it does a great job of offering a safe environment for the kind of relationship and connection that it encourages. Also, it's surprising to see that for a site that has a very specific concept, it has a lot of members worldwide.
Unlike the popular misconception, not all sugar daddies/mommas seek for a sexual relationship. Some are just into having someone to take care of and vice versa. It's the same with sugar babies, it's not all about the monetary allowances.
The site is composed of two main roles that members play:
Sugar Daddy (or Mommy); and
Sugar Baby
A Sugar Daddy, or a "Successful Member" as the site calls them, is defined as a modern gentleman with a refined taste. He has exceptional experiences and abundant resources, someone who looks for someone to share his extraordinary life with and lifestyle. Most of all, he is eager to create a meaningful relationship and experiences.
On the other hand, there is the Sugar Baby, or "Attractive Member" as the site calls them. She is defined as an empowered individual with exquisite taste and an appetite for a relationship. Call her anything, but she wants to be filled with new experiences and has a desire for a taste of the good life. She does not let herself get constrained by traditional definitions of relationships but believes in its modern interpretation. She is seeking to create a connection on her own terms and is open in expanding her horizons, desires and goals. She is ambitious and appreciates the value of finding a "Successful Member" who can be a confidante, friend, and lover.

How to Sign Up for Seeking Arrangement
Users fill out a registration form with their personal information
Sugar Babies who sign up with their college email address can upgrade to premium for free
You can sign up using your Facebook account
Choose to sign up for either a Sugar Baby or a Sugar Daddy/Mommy account
Finish registration in 5-10 minutes
Only a few Information is needed to be a member. This includes your gender, the account type you are signing for (sugar baby/ sugar daddy/mommy), and your interest (men, women, or both).
Upon registration, you will be asked how much you want your sugar daddy/mommy to spend on you (if you are the sugar baby), or how much your budget is on your sugar baby (if you are the sugar daddy/mommy).
Your email address is necessary to complete the registration process. Others may prefer to use their Facebook account instead. For college students, they can use their university email address to sign up. This gives them the privilege to upgrade their membership to premium.
Seeking Arrangement is more of a face-to-face dating, so if you are looking for more of an online dating and chatting experience, then you are probably better off checking other dating sites.
If you will connect your account to your social media account like Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn, your profile will stand out and will be rewarded a badge that shall prove the legitimacy of your account.
You will be asked to upload a profile photo as well. However, such a photo is subject to approval. Once it has been proven that the photo is not yours, it will not be posted.
For security purposes, you may also opt to have your background checked by a third party company called Optimum Screening. Seeking Arrangement claims that they do not have access to any information that any member submits to the background checker.
If you do not pass the background check, however, the site will not give you a badge and will not refund any payment you have made for the process.
Making Contact on Seeking Arrangement
The site provides users with match suggestions
You can arrange the search results to show members who have been online recently
Sending messages to other users is free for anyone who has an approved profile photo
Upgrade to premium to send messages without a profile photo
Seeking Arrangement probably has one of the most extensive search functions among all dating websites. The number of filters and options you can use shows how much control the site gives its users in terms of search functions. It is so much easier for users to find people who match their interests and intentions.
You can search based on location or distance; just input the city, region, country, postal code, or apply the distance between 0-250 miles.
Another search option available is to search based on age, height, hair colour, smoking and drinking habits, educational background, number of children, and language.
Premium members can search based on other members' net worth, net income, relationship, ethnicity, body type. and membership status.
When messaging, you have the option to message directly from the search results or add the member to your favourites list to show them your interest. This is absolutely free for members with verified profile photos.
If you prefer to stay anonymous, you can upgrade your membership to premium to send messages without a picture.
Users can have a private gallery of pictures and you can only see those if the user gives you permission
Uploaded photos need to be approved first before being available on your profile
Profiles can be set to private, and permission must be granted for you to see them
There are some fake profiles on the site, especially on the side of the sugar babies
Aside from the information that you give out during the registration process, there are a lot of profile fields and text boxes that you can fill out to make yourself stand out from other users of the website.
Although the profile fields are optional and you are not required to fill them out, you may still want to do so. The site encourages users to complete their profiles by giving profile boosts like increased site coverage.
Take note that it's free to upload photos but they will always be subject for approval. Once approved, you have the option to hide or make the albums visible to your profile visitors.
Users may also set only certain parts of their profile to private. The same is true for profile pictures as each user has a public gallery and a private one. To gain access to another user's private profile or picture, you need to ask permission from the profile owner first.
Your recent activity can be viewed on your profile. However, premium members have the choice of hiding this part for others.
Seeking Arrangement App
Features are the same for both desktop and app version
It is very easy to navigate and maneuver the app screens
The app takes into consideration your phone's location
The design is simple and clutter-free
Currently not available for iOS devices
The app does not differ that much from the desktop version. Yet, it is still a very good addition to Seeking Arrangement's services.
Well-designed and easy to navigate, the app takes into consideration that the site has older men and women, some of which are already in their 50s to 60s. Fonts and images are highly visible; the layout is simple. All the other important features are accessible through the bottom navigation bar.
The app uses GPS especially for its searching and matching features. Your profile wouldn't disclose your exact location to other members; only your city and country will be shown.
Seemingly, a lot of users were disappointed when Apple removed Seeking Arrangement from the App Store. This was a controversial move as Apple claims that the site promotes prostitution. Yet, again, such an issue is against the dating site's rules and regulations.
Seeking Arrangement has a disclaimer that it is not an escort service company. They even encourage people not to have a pay-per-meet relationship.
Whoever's telling the truth, nevertheless, you can always download the app on Google Play if you want to give it a try.
To protect their members' privacy, SeekingArrangement transactions show up as W8TECH or 2BUYSAFE on their credit card statements.
As mentioned, Seeking Arrangement has two members; the Successful (sugar daddies or mommies) and the Attractive (sugar babies). Given that their roles and means are polar opposites, Seeking Arrangement offered separate plans for its audience.
Successful members can choose to be a Premium subscriber for 1 or 3 months or the all-access Diamond member which is good for one month. Diamond members are the cream of the crop. Their identities and net-worth are verified by Seeking Arrangement because the platform, in turn, actively promotes them and their status. Their profiles not only receive a badge, but Seeking Arrangement will also prominently feature them as Diamond member, highlight their profiles, and make sure they rank higher in the search rankings. That way, these members get the most attention from sugar babies.
As for the Attractive, they can be Premium members for 1 or 3 months. Or, they may opt to register using their school email account (ends in .edu) for a free upgrade.
Either member can pay for a premium membership with Mastercard, Visa Credit Card. or a prepaid card. For the Android members who use the downloadable app, Google Playstore can also process upgrades if they chose to subscribe to one in-app.
Membership, by default, is auto-renewed. You can change it to manual if you wouldn't want to be charged automatically.
Special Features
Seeking Arrangement has unique features that make the website a lot more enjoyable, but safer for sugar babies and sugar daddies/mommas alike.
Let's Talk Sugar Blog
A Seeking Arrangement-owned blog that discusses topics related to sugar dating. It contains helpful tips on how to stay safe while sugar dating, or how to find prospects easily. The blog also advertises events that Seeking Arrangement members can attend.
Diamond Membership for Sugar Daddies and Mommas
Aside from their premium subscription, Seeking Arrangement offers a separate VIP membership program for sugar daddies and mommas. It is called the Diamond Membership. This VIP feature is offered to a member who has met certain criteria. He/She should have been a premium member for at least two months, and he/she should have passed the background check.
Video Chat
To make the most out of virtual dating for sugar daddies and babies alike, Seeking Arrangement is introducing a premium feature called the Video Chat. As its name suggests, members who are already in contact with each other can opt to upgrade their experience by engaging in video chats.
Voice-Activated Safety Features
In partnership with UrSafe, Seeking Arrangement has introduced a voice-activated safety feature that includes allowing friends to virtually track your location, fake calls, emergency SOS alerts and safety checks.

Editor's Conclusion
Chris Pleines Founder of Datingscout and Author of the book "Online Dating for Dummies"
Seeking Arrangement promises to be a safe platform for older men and women who want to meet young sugar babies and vice versa. It's not expensive; it's easy to navigate and has many users worldwide. Want to try sugar dating? Check out this site and sign up for an account.
Seeking Arrangement was created by San Francisco native, Brandon Wade.
Why did the URL change from seekingarrangement.com to seeking.com?
Seeking Arrangement's URL was changed to avoid the site from being associated with prostitution, human trafficking, or other illegal activities. This happened right after Apple emphasised that it is not supporting sugar dating sites, and when the US government entered into a law prohibiting online sex trafficking.
Is it true that Seeking Arrangement is prostitution in secret?
No. Members enter "arrangements" where they stipulate their deals and conditions before starting the relationship. This does not mean, however, that sugar babies are paid only to provide sexual pleasure.
The site discourages any action that is associated with prostitution. As such, sugar babies are given allowances by their sugar daddies and are not paid on a "per meeting" basis.
Sugar babies are also not allowed to publicly express on their profiles that they are "for sale" or mention anything about payments.
Can you tell me how to contact Seeking Arrangement?
You can email them at Support@SeekingArrangement.com
Is Seeking Arrangement illegal?
No. Despite its seemingly shady concept, Seeking Arrangement has successfully kept its services within the arm of the law.
Can you use Seeking Arrangement without paying?
Yes. You can become a member of the site and use its services without paying for a subscription.

You can use prepaid Mastercard or Visa, which are like gift cards or use Google Play if you are using the app.
Can I send my Seeking Arrangement payment by mail?

Security
What will happen once I block another member?
The member will not be able to view your Seeking Arrangement profile, cannot send you messages, nor contact you through the site.
How do hiding and blocking differ in Seeking Arrangement?
Hiding just lets you avoid seeing the person that you don't want to see. Blocking prevents the person from reaching out to you or checking on your profile.
I received a suspicious email. What should I do?
If you receive any suspicious message claiming to be affiliated with Seeking Arrangement, report it right away to the customer support. You can find the link on any page on the site.
