The prospect of earning money being someone's friend certainly interests me. Its kinda terrible that some people have to pay to make friends, although I suppose, if anxiety is the problem, this could boost confidence!
Most friends are bought. You meet a lot of friends via work. In other words, they do something useful for you. You pay them, and later the relationship develops into friendship. As I said before, you can also tip people into friendship. It's difficult to find anyone who will be your friend with no money involved, because nobody has time. People are too busy with work and other activities.
This is crazily true. It really is very hard to find anybody who will be your friend, for no personal gain of their own.
From what heard about this RentAfriend is that you can be a friend who does peoples' laundry for them. Or just hang out with the person. I do not know if anyone has been to this site yet from this forum and been paid.
What do you mean by that Profit, who does the laundry? I never worked for the site, it looks totally odd because I don't know how it would work, I have serious reservations about it.
I think they mean that the person can be hired to do other jobs such as laundry, as well as being hired to be the persons friend.
What I mean is that when someone who you meet in person through RentaFriend would actually do your laundry for you. Some people need a person who would do laundry since that individual does not know how to do it. I think it is odd, but apparently you can get paid to do that.
looool, so better hire a housekeeper no? But this is precisely what I mean, it's a totally dubious situation and I would not feel comfortable walking into it not knowing what do expect.
When I first read this I thought it is a bit ridiculous to have to pay somebody $50/hr to be your friend. The more I thought about it the more it kind of made sense. Everybody is in different situations in life and just because we don't have to pay for friends doesn't mean there isn't somebody out there who could use this service. People who move to new cities and don't really know anybody can rent a friend to hang out with them or show them around the city. If you have the extra money to do so then it's great.
Since 2009? Really? This concept works out well if that's the case, though I lack the understanding of perceiving what kind of person would actually spend that much money to basically buy momentary happiness? It surpasses my understanding and perceiving level.
