Renting a girlfriend, explained

Is it normal to rent a girlfriend for a day?

3 min read

More normal than it sounds. In Japan and South Korea rental companionship has been familiar for years; elsewhere it is newer but growing. The men who ask are mostly ordinary: busy, new to a city, or tired of spending every family visit answering the same question.

Who rents a girlfriend for a day

  • Men whose family asks every visit when they will bring someone
  • Men working abroad, home for a holiday
  • Men new to a city who want a day with someone local
  • Men who simply want good company for a day, without dating

Why it works

Because the day has a purpose, a plan and an end. Nothing about it pretends to be a relationship, and nobody has to improvise.

A day of a trip, at your pace.

What it is not

Not a sign that something is wrong with you, and not a relationship by another name. It is a strictly platonic booking for a real day.

Common questions

Is it embarrassing?

Most first-time clients worry it will be, and find the day ordinary within ten minutes.

Do people rent more than once?

Many do — the same companion for each holiday visit is common.

Is it legal?

Paying for time and company for a social day is a lawful service in most countries; Rent Girlfriend is strictly platonic.
