    We are becoming/have become an anti-social generation..so this is going to hit off the roof...people need human connection and at some point..when desperation kicks in...someone is going to ''rent a friend''...my honest $0.02.

    What I found out is that the site says that you have to exercise careful judgement when meeting someone for the first time. Like make sure you tell your friends and family where you are before meeting this person for the first time. Not to mention you should have your folks check in every time.

    Renting a friend is always a risky thing to do. I am not sure everybody likes it when they rent it to their friends.

    Funny concept. I guess it beats joining a social club and trying to meet friends the conventional way. It's probably a bit soulless as you're giving over cash for someone to pretend to like you and then to walk away. But if it serves a purpose for people, more power to them.

    It does feel that way at times. I think that the program seems legit but I just do not feel like I would do it.

    I do not think renting a friend is a very good idea. It is one of the worst idea and will definitely put you in trouble. You can't really talk on how you want things to be done in front of your friends.

    It's a crazy idea, but it just reflects the times we are living in, paying for company is an absurd, we should get along with those that like us.

    I could never see myself using this. I would rather pay people to leave me alone haha.

    I can't see myself doing the whole rent a friend thing. If you have to rent someone then that shows a lot about your social skills. There are better ways to have someone to hang out with. You could go on a social media site for other's looking for friends or perhaps use the money to pay for drinks for a few people in the bar to make new friends. I think instead of renting a friend you can take the time to make a real new friend that you wont have to pay for. I just don't think it's worth the investment.

    I do not think it is advisable to rent a friend. I do believe that it is not doing anything right by charging your friends. I do not think it is right at all.
