Here's an interesting article about how women in China feel so much pressure to have a man in their lives that they rent a boyfriend. Here's the link:

I agree with nbs...pretty sad. I would never want my daughters to feel that kind of pressure to be married or have a boyfriend at a certain age.

with the one child limit in China, female children have been aborted. There are more men than women. It wouldn't seem like they would need to rent a boy friend. Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others, pretty sad when the pressures and expectations of society lead to taking such steps.

I agree it's sad, but the same thing goes on all over the world with men and women hiring "escorts" to go to business related events and such. It seems like it's taboo to show up at many of these events without an SO on your arm.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if these rental guys wear chastity devices...
ReplyDeleteWow, that is pretty crazy. Of course the romantic side of me wonders if it ever turns into something more. That would be a story for the grandkids for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat could come in handy sometimes. Like when you need a date for a wedding or some other event. If they were cute enough I could see myself going broke using their service lol
