Single women in China are renting fake boyfriends to appease their pushy parents during family gatherings or annual festivals.

Demands for rent-by-day boyfriends have increased rapidly as the Lunar New Year, the most important holiday in the Chinese tradition.

The price for a pretend partner can run up to £180 per day and services on offer range from meeting parents to staying for the night.

The profile of a male candidate on rent – a -boyfriend website usually state his age, height, weight and occupation.

Chinese women posts advertisement on a Chinese website looking for a fake boyfriend to meet their parents in Anhui province during Lunar New Year.

‘Rent a boyfriend’ is a trending keyword on most Chinese search engines, as well as online shopping site Taobao.

Chinese rental websites offering male candidates include 89yn.com and 20py.com. The men’s profiles usually state their age, height, weight and occupation.

They also state the services they are willing to provide.

According to a report on People’s Daily online, rental princes are up to 60 yuan (£7.13) per hour or 1,500 yuan (£178) per day.

Some male candidates offer free service as they say to have no one to spend the holidays or weekend with anyway.

The list of services are flexible and are mainly decided by the men alone.

They can include meeting the parents, having dinners with them, watching films, kissing and spending the night.

Some men require the women to pay for all the expenses, including the train tickets , meals and drinks.

To attract more customers, some candidates offer what they call a ‘green lease’ , which is an agreement signed by both parties to make sure there are no grey-areas or violation of rules.

‘Green lease’ holders are not allowed to sleep with the woman in the same room.

The Chinese tradition often see marriage in a very high priority and single women aged 27 and over are considered as Shengnu, the ‘leftover women’.

Some Chinese single men see that as a chance to earn quick money and rent themselves out to the desperate women and soon it becomes a trend.

Single women also see it as a way to stop their parents pestering them about their love life and pressuring them to have babies.

WHAT IS A ‘LEFTOVER’ WOMAN?

Shengnu or ‘leftover women’ are unmarried or single women who are older than 27 years old. It signifies that a woman has missed her window of opportunity for marriage. The derogatory term was popularized by the state-sponsored organisation the All-China Women’s Federation.

Wow, that's kinda cool, she's a rich and self-dependent desperate lady with sense and lots of brain.

Not some broke desperate and frustrated ladies somewhere in Africa that are only good in coming online to slam, bash, insult and vent their frustration on men for being single, not knowing a lady should have something to offer apart from sex for any man to last with you.

Amarabae:
Nigeria guys are unrentable. Thanks

jumping to conclusion already. Did u try renting one during the easter and got disappointed?

O boy see gbege.
When will this kind of thing reach Nigeria.

Instead of the guy paying for a night out it's the other way round.

Bleep and get paid

this is exactly how laws are translated differently in Nigeria without proper understanding!

see you people should try and understand laws, just imagine what you have translated here this is how it done in Nigeria, we misunderstand laws..

see there was an affirmative action policies towards ethnic minorities , all non- Han ethnic groups are subjected to different laws and were usually allowed to have two children in urban areas, and three or four in rural areas. Han Chinese living in rural towns were also permitted to have two children. Because of couples such as these, as well as who simply pay a fine (or "social maintenance fee" to have more children.

I wonder where you got such wrong information from. ..
