Is there anything worse then attending a wedding or other public celebration alone? The constant questions about why you’re still single and earnest attempts to set you up with friends can become unbearable. The service Rent A Gent understands your pain and has a perfect solution to the problem—That is, if you’re willing to shell out $200 an hour.
Rent A Gent is a “trusted marketplace of handsome, smart, and talented men on demand,” according to their website. You can rent an intelligent and attractive guy for the afternoon and viola, no more questions about your single lifestyle.
Rent A Gent’s creative director, Jon, told Business Insider that the service is “something different and classy. These are more GQ-type guys.”
The service is supposed completely platonic and focused on making sure women feel empowered and happy. Business Insider actually tried it, renting a guy to accompany one of their reporters to a museum event. The reporter said her gent, Aaron, was “never anything other than fully professional and fully engaged,” and that she felt like she’d made a friend—though, due to the nature of the service, she wasn’t sure how much of that friendship was real.
Yes please to renting a gent. Brb, going to watch The Wedding Date.
