"Why don't you have a boyfriend?" When are you getting married?" Are you ever going to have kids?" And of course the favorite question from many of those overly concerned parents to many mid-aged "kids" out there, "why are you still singe?" These are the questions that most singles try to avoid. Some going as far as avoiding home and family, sitting holidays out, not to be reminded of their lonely lives that others think as painful. There is a new solution to these repetitive annoying questions, an answer that is spreading world wide and is highly becoming more popular in China. If you can't have the real thing, rent one. This is the new common trend. These significant others can be rented online where you can choose exactly what traits and features you are looking for, or even better yet the perfect fit that your parents are looking for.
More common for young girls to rent a boyfriend these days, now is the perfect time especially in the Chinese culture, due to the Chinese New Year 2014 (the Year of the Horse), starting on January 31st and ending on February 14th. The fifteen day celebration is full of plenty family time celebrations where the young people get together with their elders and plan for a year of luck, fortune, and prosperity. It is harder for those singles to bare it alone when heading to mom and dad's for the festivities. It sounds kind of crazy to rent an actual person, but if you really think about it, for many it is money well spent. Those who enjoy their life being single do not have to deal with any long term repercussions, and for those that are being rented they are making money at a considerably hard time to find work. Everybody wins!
Do not be mistaken by the transaction between the two individuals. The websites that are set up are legit, and all parties involved consist of consenting adults. The most popular website among the Chinese is Taobao.com which is complete with both males and females for the choosing. These services come complete with hand holding and even a good night kiss for some, if desired (additional costs not provided). Take a stand this year. Before heading home alone, make sure to rent your boyfriend or girlfriend. Also, just in time for Valentine's day!
