The Incredibly True Story of Renting a Friend in Tokyo
(afar.com)
OMG. This is like my dream job. Social interaction! Getting to know a new person! Making shy people happy! Getting paid for what has basically been the best part of being in the Bay! Where do I sign up?
I mean, sure, meeting the average socially awkward person is probably less fun than meting the average rationalist - but it seems so overwhelmingly well suited to my skill and interests that I would almost certainly like it as a job.
If only there was some way for me to contract with such a service. Any start up geeks want to build an Uber for friendship?
I would actually kinda like to make this idea work, but you are the only sufficiently extroverted person i know to do this job. I’m not sure how I would go about finding people to actually do the thing.
Clearly, we need to scout for more extroverted people in their natural habitats.
Like, at parties, or something.
We need someone who would be willing to go to a crowded place and speak to large numbers of people and sell them on a crazy idea.
Oh, whoever would be willing to do such a thing?
Startup geek reporting in. My current skills might best be described as YGM but I’ve got the entrepreneurial spirit and the drive to get. shit. done. and I’ve heard that even failing in a startup is universally considered good experience and a powerful way of learning things.
Also, Troll is so amused by the potential job description “Friendship Pimp”
