Will You Rent A Girlfriend To Bring Home For Chinese New Year?
This year is a particularly sensitive period for the unattached. Since the Lunar New Year coincides with Valentine's Day, a lot of parents and relatives are surely going to ask about your girlfriend/boyfriend.
In China, this problem is solved by websites offering fake dates for less than hundred dollars.
Advertisements posted by people seeking to pay young men or women to come home with them for Spring Festival are scattered all over popular web portals.
"500 yuan (73 dollars) a day, you don't have to sleep with me, I can sleep on the floor in the same room, but you have to be a good actress," one man said Wednesday on baidu.com, under the heading "Looking to rent a girlfriend".
A lot of 20-something Chinese have no siblings due to the nation's one-child policy, and many come under heavy pressure to marry once they hit their late 20s.Source: AFP
Will you rent a girlfriend to bring home for Chinese New Year just so that you can get a break from the irritating questions? For me, I think this is a waste of good money.
