Chinese women seek boyfriends for hire

Societal and parental pressures on China's single women over the long holiday make companion rentals a big business.

Much like Joey Ramone, there are several gentlemen in China who wanna be your boyfriend. It's going to cost you, though, and their hourly rate starts at the price of a downloaded Ramones album.

With Chinese Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day so close on the calendar this year, ABC News is reporting that Chinese shopping site Taobao has seen an 884% spike in searches for the Chinese characters that translate to "rent-a-boyfriend."

The search results list payment plans that start at $8 an hour for a night at the movies, $16 if it's a horror movie and a sliding scale of fees for basic conversation, dinner parties, a night out for drinks or meeting the parents.

The Chinese aren't alone in the friend rental business, as such U.S. websites as RentAFriend.com lend out companions for sporting events, movies, city tours and even prom dates for a fee. The stakes are a bit higher in China, however, as ABC News notes the parental and societal pressure on women to find a companion and get married is much more intense than it is in the U.S. overall.

The state media refers to women over age 27 as "leftover" women. China's arbitrary societal cutoff for marriage at age 26 recalls the disparaging Japanese term for single women of that age and older: Christmas cake, an item nobody wants after Dec. 25. With single Chinese women heading home for weeks at a time to mark the New Year, the idea of having someone around to get the parents off their back is driving an entire industry.

One rent-a-boyfriend site cited by ABC charges $1.45 a day for wake-up calls and tacks on the cost of "boyfriend" mobile minutes as an extra charge. Want someone to go shopping with you in your hometown? That's $6.42 an hour. The cost of a party pal or drinking partner varies by the length of the party and what you're drinking, but an all-inclusive package goes for $128 a day. Handshakes, hugs and goodbye kisses on the cheeks or forehead are free.

If this seems a little too “Midnight Cowboy” for comfort, just know there are some big paperwork differences between boyfriend services and the escort industry. For one, there are "no sex" clauses in the contract that entitle customers to a full refund if there are unwelcome advances and result in jail time for a handsy boyfriend-for-hire once the cops get involved. If it works out, however, the matchmaking fee can get far more costly than a few dinners with mom and dad.

A red carpet once per month,
A Berkin bag once per quarter,
A sad attempt at a Dlist cable show entitled Mom caves or posh pets..

....Also, women in Japan pay to go clubs and PAY for male companionship.

They've apparently got a problem in that they don't have enough people fucking and having kids in Japan. I don't get it.

Asian women are cute and Ginseng is usually purchased from Asia, so what's going on with their Fuck Game?

Yes, it is about 50 men to every woman. Hence the women can be very selective with who they date and who they want to be seen with. And I think the women in China as in Japan are not getting married. At least to Chinese men. Sure they will bring one home to meet the family to get their parents off their backs but the women make their own money and can get any guy they want. Kinda role reversal to the 60's in the U.S.

That's so sad. "rent a friend."

reminds me of a funny story. so a girlfriend and i got tired of only going to gay bars so we started seeking out different ways to socialize within the gay community.

So we found some local gay community center online and discovered that one group was holding a game night, advertised as a night of playing different board games.

So, we figured, "fuck it. why not try it?"

So we get there and discover that there was a $10 cover charge. We looked at each other and were like "meh. we would've spent that if we went to a night club."

We walk downstairs to the game area and realize...we're the only two people there, outside of the staffers.

We paid for friends.

It was a little uncomfortable so I started looking for a way for us to slip out and realized there was only one way in and one way out. After telling my friend that, she froze, turned to me and said, "oh no. WE'RE the game."

It wasn't that bad but we didn't go again.
