I find the whole concept of "rent a friend" very distasteful.

Re: Rent a friend.
HiRent a friend?
Nope.
I moved house, Billy No Mates.
Be nice, smile, break the Ice.
Join local groups.
You will be surprised at how many have done the same.
A day out with others is so much better than a day out on your own.
I have a number of Lady Friends, nothing Sexual, just good companions, whether it be at a concert, a day's shopping etc.
I also Volunteer as a helper for those with Mental Health Issues.
That is very rewarding as well.
I have severe PTSD which I am learning to manage.
I am not on Benefits, I am not homeless, I have my own house and car and a good income.
I do not do Pubs or Bars.
I find the Alpha Male thing boring.
I have absolutely no interest in drinking to excess with a bunch of boring men talking about football and bragging about about how many women they have bedded and what they have done to them.
There is so much more to life than that.

In some instances it's definitely a sad, sad world we live in. Community it seems has gone for many and it's not going to get any better from what I see.
To answer the OP – what has the world come to when we believe it necessary to 'buy' friends by 'renting' them? Surely there is no price that can be put on a real friend in a real friendship!

Re: Rent a friend.
Pauline, So you want someone to go to the opera with? Why can’t you go on your own?Who is going to notice or bother that you’re on your own? How is going with a ‘friend’ going to enhance the experience?
If it were me, l would go on my own! I would either walk close to other people as if l was with them! Maybe, accidentally bump into them to start a conversation! You have to be artful!
You would also save money by not having to pay someone who would probably rather be somewhere else!

Re: Rent a friend.
Maybe you can tell me,how it won't enhance the experience?Like you,I have a choice....because it's not for you.....does not mean it isn't for me.
Different strokes for different folks.
If I look desperate ,I have no problem with that..I know "me"
You could also say the same about a forum..spending most of the day on it...is that an indication that some are desperately lonely...if it is..then there are a few on here...
The only difference is..I will be paying for it...with a well mannered gentleman ...I know exactly what is in the package.
Anyway,I'm off to buy me new outfit!....ta,ta,
