to be excited about rent a friend?

[Jasonthunderpants]

I dont have many chums and this new service rent a friend is for me
At last I can talk to inteligent people about topics I like,when I try to make new friends a lot are put off by my hobbies and the fact that it is me they are talking to

I can hire friends who like sausages,wow the possibilitys are endless

or is it just another form of prostitution?

Do they rent out friends who are Deeply Involved with the subject of correct pepper ratios?

I also rather liked the look of this

correct pepper ratios is a subject I could put down on my requirments for a rent a friend.
At last a place to meet likeminded people

Be sure to explain, thoroughly, what the correct ratio should be though Jasonthunderpants.

Eek imagine the horror if you sit down to discuss the finer points of frozen pepper colour ratio, and mid conversation new best friend turns out to be a fan of green peppers?!

I think it's bizzare. Friendship to me is something which develops over time. I suppose it's good for people who can't do stuff alone or have no one who is into the same things as them but it seems odd to pay people to tag along to events etc.

Sorry - this is all completely over my head. "Rent-a-friend"?

rent-a-friend is the latest import from America where you can hire friends for the evening should you so desire. Instead of sitting in the corner of the pub by yourself you will be the popular one

I saw this on the news earlier, its a bit strange paying for someone to be your friend. The guy they interviewed said he and his girlfriend were both signed up
