Create fake girlfriends and boyfriends

App helps create fake girlfriends and boyfriends by sending bogus messages and selfies

Two new apps have been created to help people convincingly pretend that they are in a relationship.

Users of Invisible Boyfriend and Invisible Girlfriend can pay a subscription fees to receive texts and voicemails from a pretend girlfriend or boyfriend.

Others who want to be people's pretend partner can send selfies to the site so that it can send them on to customers. If they are picked, they will be paid for more pictures and sent an "I'm Someone's Invisible Girlfriend (Or Boyfriend)" shirt.

The app’s creators claim that it will help people who are under pressure to find a partner.

“Put simply, this platform helps you create credible, reasonable stories that you can bring home to curious mom, your buddies, and coworkers,” the app’s website says. “These stories are backed by virtual and real-world social proof.”

Users pay for different plans depending on how much interaction they want to have with the invisible partner. They can include texts, including live replies to messages written by humans, and sending photos of the imaginary person.

Those responses are written by staff depending on what users want from their invisible partner.

Users can then show those messages to intrusive parents or other people to get them off their back. The company’s founder has said that the idea from the site came from such a situation — after getting divorced, he was tired of being asked whether he was dating anybody.

“You will choose a boyfriend [or girlfriend] from our extensive library, customize his personality to your tastes, and decide how you will interact,” the website says.

It even helps people come up with a story about how they met their imaginary partner. A tool on the website instructs people to fill in the blanks on a short story, offering options for meeting “at a bar”, “on vacation”, “climbing” and more.

Thoughts?

Pointless for me. I'd prefer someone from RL over an imaginary one...

Tbh I see the use in it. People's interest in each other's romantic lives is extremely annoying.

I can relate to that statement big time. I wish I could tell all my family & friends to stop asking questions & mind their own business when it comes to MY love life (without offending them). ...Even if I did tell them to quit, it wouldn't stop them.

I think the idea the OP is talking about is to create a fake one while you are currently without a real one so people would leave you alone as if being single is some horrible thing.

As for the article, whatever happened to just saying it as it is? Is it really that hard to speak and accept the truth that not everyone is looking for someone, can't find that someone so easily or that the whole idea of relationships can easily just not be something that some want out of life at the present moment in time?

I think a little honesty goes a long ways and this app simply doesn't encourage it but rather discourages it in favor of the easy road of lies that can be undone especially if this would become popular.

What the fuck, I didn't know there were apps for this, pretty desparate.

That is pretty pointless if you ask me and will probably be used for joke purposes.

Has the world really come down to this, where we need to actually receive fake messages and pictures of an imaginary girlfriend? I find this hilarious.

Sounds like it could be a tool to make an ex jealous.

I remember an old girlfriend who (after we broke up) sent me text messages bragging about a new boyfriend. I was like "meh, I don't care" and didn't reply.

Well, you learn something new every day.

Honestly this is just kinda sad imo. Give me a genuine reason as to why you would pretend to do it. Also to look good in front of your friends and or to try to make yourself feel better are not valid reasons. Nut up and go socialize.
