There are various reasons that cause a person to feel alone and miss a friend with whom to go to the movies, have a beer or share hobbies. Geographical mobility for reasons of work or studies, that your friends start to get married and have lives different from yours or even the incompatibility of schedules or tastes, often make us consider the need to meet new people, but how do you make new friends
Now the Internet makes it easy for you. Just as there are many pages that help you find a boyfriend, the new revolution is renting friends online. This service was born in the United States and has already been implemented in some Spanish cities, such as Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga or Alicante. Two of the pages that offer this service are ‘RentaFriend’, whose first claim is that it is not a dating website or erotic services, or ‘Friently’.
How does renting friends work?
- The process is very simple. The person who is interested in finding the ideal friend, only has to register on the web and complete their profile of her. In this way, he already has access to carry out a search and find other profiles that suit his tastes and preferences. Joining the network is totally free, but renting a friend ranges between 10 and 50 euros per hour, depending on the selected friend. To this price you have to add 20 euros of monthly fee or 60 euros if you want to belong to a club of friends. Of course, the expenses derived from the activities that are carried out with the rented friend are borne by the user.
- By accessing RentaFriend, for example, you have the possibility to choose from more than 280,000 profiles around the world, of different ages, tastes, hobbies, ideologies, etc.
- As in all the changes that affect modern society, in this new idea of renting friends, voices have also risen for and against. Perhaps the word friend is too big to define this service, since true friendship is something that money cannot buy.
