Sugar Daddy Ads on I-35 targeting our young adults

[BBatesokc]

I'm sure to many here this imagery will have no impact and will be justified by, "They're 'adults', its their business." Or, "How is that different from just dating some older well-to-do dude?"

I just find it ironic that within 1.5 miles on the same stretch of I-35 you find two such polar opposite messages - one seeks to exploit our young people, while the other seeks to protect them.

I draw a pretty distinct line in what types of prostitution I target and what types I tolerate..... My biggest beef with this advertisement is the fact it specifically target 'Students.'

Sure, legally when girls turn 16 in Oklahoma they can consent to sex with a 50-year-old man and when they are 18 they are legally adults - and many men will use those facts to justify their perversion. But I seriously doubt many parents of those 16 and 18 year old daughters have the same opinion.

Having sex with an 18 year old is a perversion?

Having sex with an 18 year old is a perversion?

Only when you do it right...[wink, wink, nudge, nudge].

Between consenting adults who aren't me or my wife, it isn't my business to judge what other people do. I use the term consent in both a strict moral and legal sense here which has gray areas. Age is one of those gray areas but not when people are past the age the law defines as adult. As long as we can place 18 year olds in the military and train them to kill, I'm pretty sure they can decide for themselves what partners they choose to mate with.

Being older and richer doesn't make one less able to make good decisions and older people are just as likely to be exploited one way or another by younger and prettier individuals. Power differentials exist on many levels and age does not define the ability or willingness of an individual to be manipulative or exploitive.

So what is "perverted" here? It is really basic biology mixed with modern technology. Big whoop.

FYI: I have a teenaged daughter and I wouldn't approve of her seeking this sort of thing. At the same time, I'm not particularly concerned for her. She has her own mind, own priorities, and makes her own choices. Being "kept" by an older man isn't likely to be among those choices and my opinion about it isn't the reason. Her sense of self isn't likely to allow her to settle for being anybody's pet. If she does, I won't blame these billboards.

Just being in the company of a younger woman, especially with one who is an interesting conservationist, may be all some older guys want, or in other words, kinda like a visit with a psychiatrist.

I think we all know what the website is pushing.

That's okay, they typically followup with these billboards......





Always makes for 'fun' conversation with the kiddos in the car.

I'm thinking those boards would do a lot for the look in the Plaza District, Midtown or maybe within view of classrooms at UCO or OU.

Yeah . . . But after awhile talking about rainforests, whales and various species of birds and fish gets a bit tiresome.

I wonder if posting some of these billboards out around Hobie Point on Lake Hefner could have a net positive effect society-wise . . .

[jerrywall]

Ranks up there with the "life is short, have an affair" ads and billboards.

Ugh, yes specifically targeting students is more than a little creepy.

As a side note, we need to get rid of billboards within city limits in general.

Exactly. I'm not a big fan of the boards in general to a fairly captive audience. Its the 'Hey students' that really irritates me.

If they wanna market to 30+ year old women who are mature enough to make their decisions, so be it.

But we all know 17-20-ish young adults make lots of bad decisions. We should try and limit those opportunities.

And, like it or not, in this digital age, this could be a mistake that could get them into real physical harm or, more than likely, haunt them for the rest of their lives.

They have no idea where life is going to lead them.

I wouldn't doubt for a second some old 'sugar daddy' would out them if they became well known or successful. Not to mention how their registration information and cross contacts/communications/correspondence via the site may be used against them in the future.

I once knew a girl who sold pictures of her feet on craigslist to men who had foot fetishes for $50 a picture. Now that is a solid summer job.

Also, if a student reads those billboards and seriously considers following though with them, then they probably were on the wrong path to begin with.

And if it takes a "sex trafficking is bad" billboard to convince you that sex trafficking is bad, then you were probably on the wrong path to begin with as well.

If someone wants pictures of MY feet, have them PM me. All offers considered.

I could do that job. But I would like to be a fly on the wall if they saw what the foot was attached to!

Well,... The foot bone's connected to the ... leg bone. The leg bone's connected to the....... ... .

How do you think David Boren, Cindy Rosenthal, Burns Hargis or John Bartley would react if these were placed in either Norman or Stillwater?

The OU student paper has carried advertisements in the recent past from groups wanting to purchase the eggs of college students who fit into certain boxes (height, weight, etc.). I want to say they offered somewhere in the $2000-$4000 range for those fitting their desires.

Must be "free range" eggs for that price...

These are hilarious.


Creepier, IMO - is the Jesus billboard on I-40 towards Shawnee.

[Richard at Remax]

I once drove from Gainesville, FL down to Tampa on I-75 and they had quite a few anti-abortion billboards that showed some of the worst images ive ever seen on them.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with them. Tacky and somewhat offensive to some? Sure. But kids these days are seeing way worse things on TV and the internet.

[ThomPaine]

I'm glad they came down. Community standards should dictate. Las Vegas, fine. OKC, not so much.

Don't knock it 'til you try it. #SugarDaddy

It seems strange that there is an ad at the top of the page when I view this thread that shows photos of three attractive young Ukrainian women. It doesn't say what the "company" is, and i'm not going to click on it (even if it would generate revenue for the site).

Haha mine shows motorcycle helmets and other riding gear, probably because I have been buying a bunch of gear online lately. We must look at different things on the Internet!

[ctchandler]

And mine shows an Inspire recumbent exercise bike because I have been shopping for those recently. They keep free sites free, so I'm glad the ads are there.

I'm gonna have to plug.. I'm involved with an app called "Biker Laws" on iphone and android which shows all relevant state laws for bikers. It's worth checking out if you get a chance.

I looked on my Android and didn't see it.
