its far better to get REAL. There's so many lonely people in the same boat as you; their hearts too crying to find a good partner. If you go about activating your intuition your soul mate will manifest. It happened for me when the internet dating sites din't feel right so I got deep into crying to the Universe-net. I actually cried for help deeper than I have ever cried and that night I dreamt about a man and amazingly he walked into my job site a few days later. I recognized his face immeadiately as being the one in my dream. Not to say this World is easy; it's not! But we totally love and support each other and we are blessed with a wonderful life through the trials and tribulations this World throws at all of us .......... This info is shared feely. You do not have to pay a guru, a counselor or a preacher .... For Real

That's why escorts in escort services are called escorts. They aren't just for sex

People hire others for optics in Japan : this is my husband/boyfriend/friend at weddings, parties, etc. Interesting YouTube videos about it. The people hired take the job seriously and act the role. As an aside, a colleague hired an escort for a corporate party, and it went south badly. (He got fired from the crazy antics with her) Overall I don’t see anything wrong with it. Hire someone good looking, make everyone notice and get envious!

So an “escort”, because they're escorting you to a wedding? You can rent a friend in Japan, it costs 2,980 yen ($28) an hour, and you have to pay for transport and lunch. Maybe that could be a business in Vancouver, since Vancouverites are so aloof and flaky, and it's hard to make friends? Just a thought.

Be brave. Lots of us women are going solo to everything. If you’re getting pressure from family, show them that strong women can be their amazing selves without a male escort! I understand if you’re lonely, but take it from a veteran of love wars, it’s much, much worse being in an unhappy and unhealthy relationship than it is being single. Embrace the freedom you have right now, because you have no idea how precious it is.

You're considering a romantic comedy. Rather than Pretty Woman we can just call it Pretty Man? Lol!!! Nonetheless if I lived on the mainland I'd probably take your job since I've done security escorts before and I need money.

Then they'll just start asking when you're going to reproduce

About 80% of women have a positive view on marriage, while less than 20% of men do.

But then I remembered that platonic friendships between genders are dead. I've tried to cultivate platonic friendships with women but they ghost me as soon as they realize that the relationship isn't going to evolve into a romantic one.

Did you misunderstand my comment? As for the random stats so many of you guys like to throw around, perhaps you should talk to actual women and ask them how they feel about it. The ones I know are definitely not looking for marriage. However, we’ve all been through the reality of what that usually entails for women, and we realize we’re far, far better off being single. Maybe the young ones who still have fantasies about getting married only think of that, but believe me there’s a huge number of women who really don’t.
