Jeez.... there must be some lonely folks out there.

But she's so sexy!

[kevinsrangers]

Wow. That's ridiculous.

I bet this thing shows profit.

To make it realistic, the fake girlfriend should tell you that you going to her mother's place for Xmas.... for two weeks. No internet.

Imagine if it was just a stoke 10 messages and they put in your name, but your buddy is doing the same thing, Oh lord, imagine if you dated a friend in your group, break up and try and make each other jealous by using this thing. It would be like a Ross and Rachel episode of Friends. I’ve been watching a lot of friends on Netflix recently, so much that I see the world as a sitcom now.

Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Get the hell out of your basement and go meet someone. Just ******* unbelievable that people would pay for this.

$24.99 seems like a shockingly low amount of money for this, unless they have the text and emails completely computer-generated.

Even then, someone either has to photoshop in a model into some photos with you, or send a model and photographer to your location - PLUS they have to handwrite and mail you a handwritten note, PLUS - they have to have a voice actress creat and send you 10 personalized voicemails?

For that kind of money, I'd rather just send Glenn Healy some glitter.

I had a guy I know on facebook, just this past week, post a picture of art that he claimed he did. He waited about 24 hours for all of the 'Wow great work!' comments to pour in before finally admitting that he just coloured it. He's mid 20s. Some people will do anything for the feeling of being wanted and accepted. I bet this will make some decent money.

If you have to resort to this, then what kind of a life are you leading? You can't have any integrity.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't a little curious about what kind of texts and phone messages you would get, to say nothing of the photo and hand written note and "how we met" story. I am not curious enough to spend the money on it, but I bet there are lots out there who would. I have spent money on some stupid shit in my life; 25 bucks to satisfy my curiosity and provide me some mild entertainment, isn't out of the realm of possibility. I bet that the majority of the people who actually paid for this service, aren't doing it because they seriously need this kind of affection or out of desperation.

Also curious, how can they guarantee phone messages? What if they keep calling to leave your message, and you answer the phone before it goes to voice mail? Is it a real person on the other end of the phone? Do they hang up and try again later? Or do you have a short conversation with somebody and they count it as one of their messages?

Maybe you text “call me” and the computer calls you, but you’re not supposed to answer.
