You can find services for just about anything on the
internet, including finding someone who would pose as your
Facebook girlfriend. It turns out it only costs $5.
According to Gizmodo
– you can hire out girls (or people posing as girls) to
not only be your Facebook-GF and incite jealousy in real
life girls, but also to do other things.
Whoa: Before your mind starts racing, ‘the other things’
include fashion advice, homework help, a list of great dub
step songs and video calling you so you can watch her
paint her toes. Yes, that last one is a little weird.
While all of this might sound like a sweet deal, Ron, Don,
and Libby were unsure of how the Facebook girlfriend would
actually be perceived, especially after reading a
conversation between a hired GF and her faux beau.
Messages that started out with a simple “hey babe” seemed
heavy handed according to the trio. From there, the public
wall messages got more intense.
“Hey hun, I won’t be around until tomorrow,
just letting you know, I have to have my pet put down
amongst other not so fun stuff đ but I will give you a
shout after I promise đ xxx”
“If you were in a relationship, who would actually be
saying, ‘put my beloved pet down’ in a Facebook wall
post?” Libby asked.
Don said that when it comes down to faking a lady in his
life, he won’t hire someone for $5 to pose as his Internet
girlfriend. After all, his sisters have different last
names. But Ron thinks Don’s plan might lead to some
problems.
