Fake Girlfriend Service: Now You Can Be Nagged by Fake Girlfriends Too!

Fakegirlfriend.co offers a text service that provides you with a fake girlfriend. The system is designed to alleviate the social anxiety associated with being a single male in a group of captured males. Fakegirlfriend.co is not an escort service and the man never meets an actual woman. The service sends perfectly-timed "girlfriend-esque" text messages and voice mails to the man's phone just so he can show them to his friends or potential mates and say, "See, I have a girlfriend! ~ and I'm REALLY lame"

Messages include:
-- "I just need someone to talk to... Call me?"
-- "Why don't you leave the boys and come hang out with me?"
-- "Please come hang out with me? Please? I really miss you."

.....Meaning that in addition to real women, you can now also be nagged by a fake one.



Naturally, I enrolled. I put the number on the website in my phone and started sending "Hope Solo" messages:

Me: Hey what's up

Hope Solo: I miss you honey xoxo. (:

Me: What are you up to?

Hope Solo: Thanks so much for the pics :-). I'll send some soon.

Me: Good luck in your next game.

Hope Solo: When are you going to come see me?!?! I miss you! :0)
........
Me: Good morning!

Hope Solo: THANKS FOR THE FLOWERS!

Conclusions:
Fakegirlfriend.co provides you with a white, suburban girlfriend aged 21-26. The type that wears North Face, goes to Boston College, belongs to a sorority, loves frozen yogurt and dates black guys to piss off her parents. It can be fun if you are goofing around, but if you are actually using it in a serious capacity then that is quite sad. After the novelty wore off, I began to feel more pathetic with every text I burned. In any case, how long can you keep up such a facade? You'll have to produce your mystery girl at some stage and what do you do then? Hire a fake one? Where do you draw the line?

This service highlights the reality of social anxieties in the world we live in. People are being made to feel as if they are worth less if they aren't married with 2.75 children by 35 or 25 or 17, whatever the age is these days. The truth is, it is better to be happy and you don't have to be with someone to be happy. The assumption people make is that a couple is a happier unit than a single person but like everything in life that is up for debate. You never know what happens behind closed doors. People will definitely pretend to be "the happy couple" for the sake of appearances but how can you reconcile that with extremely high divorce rates. The most important thing is not to screw up your chance to meet a real person because you were too busy texting a fake one.


As for Hope Solo and I, We broke up yesterday! I just pushed all the wrong buttons....
