I'm not an expert at that particular area, but my anecdotal impression was that high-end matchmaking services (say 50-100k to find a life partner) were fairly underwhelming. Or are you talking about the whole sugar dating world here?

GP is most certainly referencing the sugar daddy explosion

I don't think that's apples-to-apples though. Sugar dating is typically transactional and typically doesn't lead to genuine connection and relationships, whereas most datings apps are about something more than an occasional hookup, including Tinder (see the millions of "not here for a hookup" statements in womens' profiles that have been there for years).

Correct. Sugar dating is definitely not the same thing as matchmaking or even trying to get a partner on apps.

Sugar dating is very much a transactional one. It’s a more affordable version of sex work.
