I sometimes wonder what moronic direction our modern society is heading to. Since Internet technology exploded in the mid-90s, we've bought and sold practically anything and everything with a simple click of the mouse button. Just recently, I came across this pay-per-service website available to lonely-hearted teenagers and twenty-somethings for $5 a "transaction."
Welcome to girlfriendhire.com, a sneaky website that lets you hire a fake girlfriend for a mere five bucks a pop. As a fake smooch, her job is to inflate your sexual "street-cred" by doing almost anything such as posting on social networking sites or by sending you sexy text messages at the right time. These girls will do everything to make you appear desirable to other females except that which probably would excite the junk in your pants.
The enterprising mind behind Girlfriendhire is 22 year old college student (and future internet millionaire), Cody Krecicki. His business plan involves making a niche for young college girls who are looking for easy paying gigs while they are busy with their studies.
The idea is to help (mostly) teenage boys appear desirable to the opposite sex. By exploiting the female psyche, girlfriendhire.com is banking on the theory that women are naturally jealous creatures (they don’t really know what they want until another female pushes them to it). Let's face it, having someone who’s already obsessed with you makes you look sexier and more desirable.
The job description is pretty easy, too, and any girl can do it. Everybody's spending a huge portion of their day on social networking sites anyway. Why not make money while doing it?
---“I will Message you on facebook demanding to know why your relationship status still says Single for $5." This leaves you single to get a real girlfriend but makes it look like you went out with a cute girl a few times who got really attached to you. Other girls will get interested in following the drama.”---
Typical fake girlfriend services include public flirting on social networking sites, photo ops and naughty text messages. Some girls will do your homework while others will help you cheat, lie and even break up with other girls. Each girl has something unique to "offer."
In a world where the heartless takes advantage of the emotionally deprived and sexually starved, Krecicki admits that girlfriendhire.com does have a lot of spam accounts and that members should do well to protect themselves from, at the extreme, scam artists who prey off the internet's stupefied and the idiotic. He recommends choosing girls with good ratings, reviews and referrals. But most of all, use of common sense is highly encouraged to avoid getting ripped off.Its kinda amusing that for the price of a Big Mac meal, you can have a fake relationship on Facebook. Personally, I find it best to hit the gym, develop a positive life outlook and have interesting hobbies that actually attract girls. But that's me and I'm no dating expert. At least I'm happily married. I don't need to pay for fake attentions that serve only to indulge shallow sexual vanities. After all, I'm sure only awesome people pay for these types of services. The cool thing about this is that it actually sells because it appeals to its target demographic. Girlfriendhire.com do serve its purpose of supplying a legitimate demand. On that note, I'm all for it. Oh, what a crazy yet beautiful world we live in.
