London, Jan 28 : Facebook has
radically altered (some would say ruined) the dating scene.
Relationships and breakups are now public information, first dates have
lost their mystery because of preemptive Facebook stalking, and once-stable
relationships are threatened by flirtatious wall posts.
Now, in this
altered dating landscape, a Brazilian website has apparently identified a niche
for potential profit. Their product? Fake Facebook girlfriends.
For
$39.00 NamoroFake.com.br will create a
Facebook girlfriend profile for you that includes comments and the all-important
"relationship status" change for thirty days. Or, for those on a budget, $19.00
will buy you a fake ex-girlfriend.
"Impress your friends," says the
website. "Gain confidence with women." Indeed those trading in virtual deception
may find an ally in NamoroFake.
So is hiring a fake Facebook girlfriend
right for you? The website suggests a number of possible reasons to hire a fake
flame. Pure desperation didn't make the list.
"Sometimes having a fake
girlfriend on the Internet helps make you more popular with the women and
increases your self esteem," says the website.
"Sometimes people need to
rent a fake girlfriend to make jealous a jealous ex-girlfriend. In truth, we
have a lot of clients for that reason," it says. "After a breakup, the
ex-boyfriends want to show that they are already with another person to feel
good. One immediate way to do this is to hire a fake girlfriend to maintain
appearances."
The justifications need not be entirely restricted to
jealousy or "keeping up appearances," suggests the site. Maybe your family is
pressuring you to settle down with someone and you need a quick fix to get them
off your back. If so, NamoroFake might just be the solution.
To bolster
the ranks of fake girlfriends, the website is inviting women to send in their
profiles, with a 50 percent profit-sharing incentive. There are currently no
fake Facebook boyfriends for hire, though the site says it has plans to offer
them in the future.
