I thought "renting a friend" was illegal except in nevada? :)
It really must be something to need this BS. I thought everyone had lots of friends. Heck they never get off their stupid cell phones 24/7. If somebody needs company that bad your chemistry is out of balance dude. Your nutts.
Talk about 'freaky' news.
What all these people really need to do is rent a personality, the rest will take care of itself.
I can understand being a tourist or on business in a strange city and not knowing where to go or what to do. It's like having a tour guide. As for having someone at my house to scrapbook with me...that's sad. There must be groups to join where one would meet people with similar interests.
I suppose it's a sign of the times.
Out of curiousity I checked out the rentafriend.com site and was very disappointed with it! I mean, what the heck is this site anyway? The pictures of the so-called "friends" available for rent looked anything but platonic - with some of the women displaying way too cleavage and a certain "come hither" look. Come on! And what's with the requirement for listing your "bodytype" and "haircolor"? I've never in a million years chosen my friends based on that! Rentafriend.com claims that it's a site to meet "platonic" friends, but it looks way too sleazy for my taste!!! Uggghhhh!
THIS IS A GREAT SERVICE
I use it every third week of each month, which is coincidentally when my wife goes away on business. I could rent Todd, Wesley, or Dan, but in an ironic twist of fate, I usually rent Candy, Jasmin, Trixy, or Maria.
They make me feel so good, and the $400 for six hours of "friendship" is worth it, as my 'friend and I play such games as:
1. Policeman Arrest
2. Mad Boss
3. Zorro & the Generals Wife
4. Bill & Monica
5. I drink.... you swallow.
6. Ride-um-Cowboy
7. Postman delivers the 'package'
8. FedEx 'Backdoor Express Package'
Try this service, It will bring back great mamories from the past.
THIS SERVICE DOES NOT WORK ! ! !

That was great. No interest, but have you thought of checking out 'Krispy Kreme' .. could lead to something really 'sweet'!
Just another marker of our alienation. Another indication of our division and loss of the strength of one another. Another milepost of our descent into the trap.
I read and responded to an article about children being trained not to have best friends. It's so much easier to herd cows. Very difficult to herd cats. I identify with the cats. I will not be popular with the powerstructure.
On the side, if I were ever to rent a friend for cash, she'd better put out. Might as well since she's going to look like a whore anyway.
You know this web site would not be half bad if it was "rent a friend" like when you needed someone to help you move, get you through DMV or paint your house. Renting a friend to sit with you during dinner is just a little weird.
400$ for 6 hours- a better class of friend goes for 300 and up an hour-you get what you pay for
If you really look, you can get two of those friends for 800 for 8 hours
I could use this service, i have a new paintball gun i need to test out (namely the automated targeting system on it)
WOW. Its come to this. Renting a friend?! Why wouldn't you go to, like, meetup.com, look online for groups with your interest to join? Would be a lot cheaper. You could spend your whole paycheck per hour with a rented friend to scrapbook with. ?!?!?!
I could possibly see using this service as a business person (don't they have concierges for that?), or like the woman who hired the college student to visit her mother in the nursing home when she couldn't be there.
I guess if you have money to burn and are that socially challenged this would work. ???
Well.... i Wouldn't do this but it doesn't seem like a horrible idea. Lol. I'll let people do what they wanna do
I will rent my friendship out =) me and my son will keep you laughing for hours lol
I don't have any friends :(
For the benefit of your readers, there is another site which was recently released called RentFriends.net. This site is completely free for its members, only what friends may charge each other.
It is a little sad that we live in a world of friend-renting. This is one of those things that if you heard about it 20 years ago you would put it in the same class as flying cars- the "could you even imagine???" class. Still, we have done this to ourselves. If we are going to cripple ourselves with all of our electronic devices and social networking online, we may as well come up with solutions for the problems it causes.
