Frently
The latest depressing solution to friendlessness
Having friends can be complicated at times, especially if
you're Whodini, and none of your dictionaries can help you
understand what they mean. Simplify your friend situation by
not having real ones, thanks to Frently.
Just-launched and already proclaiming itself the "#1 friends
for rent service in the world", Frent's a database of
chums-for-hire, matching people desperate for platonic human
interaction with others who're willing to "cash out on
[their] talents", which apparently all involve putting up
with people so annoying they need to rent friends. A
comprehensive search field makes finding the perfect
stranger easy, as each prospective rentee must fill out a
detailed profile describing their physical appearance,
education level, if they have a car, and what activities
they're up for (e.g., cooking, extreme sports, advice...);
every "friend" sets their own hourly/flat rate, though they
may waive it for extenuating circumstances, e.g., you paying
for concert tix, because the irony watching you sing along
to "You've Got A Friend" is priceless. The current stable
includes Hattie, a manicurist in Vegas who loves music and
writes poetry; Fabiano, an IT professional in NYC whose
interests include, among other things, "valet"; and Martin
from Glendale Heights, IL, who apparently only finished
primary school but for $80 an hour will "provide security,
event planning, or a second opinion" (he'd suggest you hold
out for a better educated rent-a-friend).
Once your paid hangout's over, Frent requests you log back
on and rate your experience -- hopefully you didn't have to
go home at 10, because otherwise you won't know if they're
actually a freak.
