With parents, relatives and family friends all upping the pressure, one service promises to buy those yet to get hitched, a little more time by offering rental boyfriends.
China's leading e-commerce site is seeing an explosion of requests for boyfriends-for-hire. One young man thinks it's a cool way to earn some money during the holidays. Here is online ad.
He is charging 300 yuan a day. If the high price scares you, he's offering some freebies, including holding hands and hugs.
But a kiss is going to set one back 50 yuan each time, and it's going to cost 30 yuan per hour for chatting with the parents. Moreover, he wants his potential client to pay his accommodation fare.
Here's another guy who wants 800 yuan a day extra for shopping, chatting, watching movies and attending parties. If he needs to drink alcohol, more fees will be levied.
More than 260 rent-a-boy friend services are available on Taobao, with more popping up after news of the service spread across the Internet.
