    I was picking my daughter up from hockey tonight so I had the radio on in the car and there was a blurb about a new service called rent a friend.

    This really exists where you can put in your requirements for a friend and get matches and then rent them to do activities with you.

    So if you want a scrap-booking buddy, shopping buddy, movie buddy you can find one for a fee that they decide.

    Anyone ever hear of anyone who did this?

    We call those escort services around here, you can have with sex with them too.
    I wonder if you can purchase insurance to cover any incurred damages during your rental period?

    Nope, never heard of it... But, you mean to tell me, you can pay people to be your friends? I wish I would've known that years ago! I'm so poor I can barely pay attention anymore lol.

    Escorts do social things with you, that's what makes them different from plain old prostitutes. I bet these rental friends would have sex with you if you asked nicely.

    My, what a cynical lot. :)

    This was featured on the John Tesh show. If any of you are familiar with him or his show this has been researched or it would not be on the show. :)

    There's nothing cynical about paying someone to go fishing with you and then sex you up :)

    I don't feel like drinking by myself, all my friends have to work, I'll just rent a friend for awhile and tell him all my drunken problems. Then I'll have him take photos of me naked and hold my hair while I puke and tell me stories until I pass out. Rent a friend could be fun, none of my other friends would ever do any of that :(

    Many years ago there was a business called 'Rent a Kid' in the U.S. where one could hire a kid to do yard work and such. It was run by a kid about 12 years old. Drug dealers took over the business and used it as a front and eventually the whole thing got busted by law enforcement. The kid was so naive he didn't realize where all the money was really coming from.

    I wonder if you can bring in old friends whom you no longer need and get a refund?

    I think this is one of those things the Japanese started. They usually lead the way on stuff like that. Maybe if one rents a friend for some cosplay then it's like double-Japanese!
