Surprisingly, a platform that is built for sugar dating has recorded 42,500 sugar daddies in just Malaysia alone. The number has even placed Malaysia in the top three of the list for the highest number of sugar daddies in Asia after India and Indonesia. SeekingArrangement has also revealed that Asia is basically "a hotbed for sugar dating, especially among the urban demographics."

To start with, the platform aims to "help connect young and empowered women with wealthier, more affluent men who not only bolster their financial woes but act as a mentor or gateway in catapulting a promising future for these sugar babies". As for the reason why the service is popular in Asia, the dating firm has done some research as well.

It is said that countries with high-tertiary education penetration rates were proven to be more vulnerable to this trend. For Malaysia, we have a total outstanding debt of RM39 billion in student loans as of 2018. Other countries like South Korea and Japan are also affected by the demand for tertiary education. Furthermore, economic inequality in Asia is also one of the reasons that stimulates more women to seek older men for various factors.
