Got $5 to spare?

For this piddling sum of money you can get a fake girlfriend on Facebook .

Not me... I don't think I'd invest even 50 cents in that, so my $5 is going elsewhere!

May I ask where? FM doesn't want your money

Talk about a cheap date..

Perhaps some opportunities will open up for the boys

Tristla · 25 May 2012, 04:26 PM

Is it true?

janusz · 25 May 2012, 05:53 PM

It's on the internet, so it must be true

Tsunami · 26 May 2012, 02:26 AM

If this is true (if... it sounds a bit odd) this is the lowest FB has sunken so far. But just because of that, even for Facebook's standards, it sounds a bit odd to be true.

Anyways, IF true, why would you pay to get a "fake" girlfriend when this will only make really single girls believe you're not available anymore ? To get a date, social networks aren't the best bet. Pretending you're already taken is not going to help a lot neither...

But then the story sounds a bit odd, not saying it's not true but it wouldn't surprise me this is a made-up story.

You need to think that one over Tsunami

What about reading the story before geting on your high horse and ranting about FB's moral decline?

Repeat after me: that site is not run by FB. No words longer than 4 letters, I tried to make it not too taxing.

This appears to be a spinoff (or someone copying) http://fiverr.com
Maybe we should all make on offer at fiverr such as:

I will critique your EMD post for $5.
I will answer your email questions for $5 (by posting on EMD, of course -- this just shows how cheap we are, assisting the email novices for free)

There must be thousands of i.o.u.'s out there for all the good advice/help given on this forum!

Yes but I did add that it sounded too unrealistic to be true. So I don't really believe it is true. It would make no sense anyway ; it'd be like joining a dating site with a note in your profile that you're already in a relationship ...

Probably. I read about another service years ago where you could get a fake girlfriend to write you e-mails about your "relationship" with her, she'd send you pics, etc. It was a bit disturbing to read.

Well, after doing a search just now on "fake girlfriend website", I found this.

I don't know if that's the same one I heard about years ago or not, but there you go.
