The idea of a one-woman man and one-woman woman is no longer relevant in today’s dating and relationship landscape. These days, most people enter into new relationships quickly and regularly switch partners. An Indian girl elevated dating to a new level, as if dating apps weren’t enough. You may be familiar with the peculiar notions of “rental girlfriend” and “rental boyfriend” in Japan. People pay someone to pretend to be their girlfriend or boyfriend for a predetermined amount of time for dates, company, events, and other purposes. Some even mimic a romantic partnership.
This strange idea was just introduced in India by an Indian girl. Online controversy erupted after she suggested a similar service in a social media post.
Taking to Instagram, the girl posted that she is available as a rental girlfriend and even shared a rate chart for her services
The woman with the Instagram handle @divya_giri__ posted a reel where she shared a mirror selfie with the text,
“Single? Willing to go on a date? Rent me for a date!!”
She mentioned the rates for various types of dates she is willing to offer
“Chill Coffee Date – Rs 1500, Normal Date (Dinner & Movie – Rs 2000, Meeting with family- Rs 3000, Event companion – Rs 3500, Bike Date (holding hands and all) – Rs 4000, Public Post about our date – Rs 6000, and more, going up to Rs 10,000.”
After her Instagram image went viral, people took notice and flocked the comment section with a wide range of viewpoints. Some of them cruelly trolled her after finding nothing funny in her post.
Netizens responded to her strange post in the following ways:
Some mocked her for having such expensive prices, some termed her offer modern p#ost!tut!on, and some even urged her to finish their tasks in the comments. A few people made fun of her by inquiring about her fees for handling their housework. According to one user, the girl believes she is in Japan.
