STUDENTS at Gold Coast universities have signed up with a website to be "sugar babies" for rich older men who pay their school fees and shower them with expensive gifts.

Many of the women are in their teens or early 20s and are quick to deny it is a form of prostitution - insisting they do not have to sleep with the sugar daddies.

A spokeswoman for American online dating website Seeking Arrangement said yesterday almost 100 local students had signed up as sugar babies in a bid to get cashed-up and loved-up.

"The average Australian sugar baby receives a monthly allowance of $3000 from her sugar daddy," she said.

"By dating someone who is successful and better off, her chances of finding success after graduation are much greater. Not to mention the reduced amount of stress if school is being paid for by someone else."

Figures revealed the website was most popular among Griffith University students, with 44 sugar babies registered from the Gold Coast campus.

Numbers were slightly lower at Bond University with 21 users, and Southern Cross University (SCU) had 13 students looking for a sugar daddy.

The cost of a single subject at Bond University is upwards of $3600 while Griffith and SCU students pay anywhere from $500 to just over $3500.

However, it is not only students using the service, with over 6000 other Gold Coast women signed up, and just under 1000 local hopeful sugar daddies.

The popularity of Seeking Arrangement is increasing, with the number of Australian users growing by 58 per cent since last year.

The spokeswoman said the popularity of the website was due to the financial security it could provide women.

"At a time when a degree does not necessarily guarantee you a high-paying job, women are finding it more difficult to settle in any aspect of life, including her relationship," she said.

"Every woman should want to date a gentleman, a generous man who doesn't mind spoiling his girlfriend a bit, helping her with school or bills as needed. Just like every man wants a beautiful woman."

While the website is aimed at "connecting generous men with beautiful women", the spokeswoman said it was not to be mistaken for an escort service.

"Our members are looking for relationships, not a transaction," she said.

"We do not allow any solicitation of sex for money, and prohibit known escorts from using our site."
