Fake Girlfriend Texting Service Sheds Single Status And Gets You Female Attention

They say the best way to get a girlfriend is to already have one. So why not try FakeGirlfriend.co, a new texting service that will let you leave your single status behind you.

With the cunning tagline, "Because you don't want to look lame", your pretend girlfriend will not only text you, she'll also call with a pre-recorded message reports MSNBC's Digital Life.

The way it works? According to FakeGirlfriend.co, you need to save the Fake Girlfriend number into your phone under her fictitious name. Then, when you're out with friends or a woman you're trying to make jealous, just text that number. You'll shortly get a text and then a pre-recorded call.

For the moment, the service won't cost you a cent. Founder Ricky Robinett tells the Huffington Post over email: "Right now the service is free. I'm looking into expanding some options that monetize the service, but nothing is in place for that yet."

This probably won't be able to convince your friends for long, as the service doesn't include a real life person. Having said that, it should help you attract more females, if a study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology is anything to go by. The findings showed a woman's attraction to a man almost doubled when they were told he was taken, as opposed to single.

And if you really want to keep your taken relationship status convincing, you could even subscribe to Cloud Girlfriend. Launched last March, the service allows you to create a fake, but perfect Facebook girlfriend to your liking. She'll write on your wall with the intent to make your friends and potential suitors very jealous.

Or perhaps you could even hire a real-life fake girlfriend for an occasion. China Daily reports there's a surge in these arrangements just before Chinese New Year where single men would rather fake a relationship to family than admit one's embarrassing single status.

This is the most pathetic thing I have seen in a long time

Yeah, you are probably correct. Now, what does that say about the women who find the guys more attractive just because they think another lady is dating him?

I think there might be something to that... but that is not the case for all of us. And just because a person finds a taken person attractive does not mean that they act on it. I have found many unavailable people attractive, but I have never made the moves on someone who is taken... My karma need not take any unnecessary hits

No real man would ever do anything like hire a texting service for fake messages. This is something high school virgins would do to keep the jocks from pounding them.

I am fake-signing up all my middle-age MARRIED guy friends and planning on telling only after their wives throw them out...

last year I put my secretary's profile and picture up on a dating website with her husband's private email as contact...

Seems only fair. Women get to fake orgasms.

Only fake women do that.

Why would any woman be attracted to a guy that is so willing to cheat on his girlfriend (real or fake)???? Once a cheater, always a cheater.

This applies to women as well.

This is great. It plays off the idea that women hate other women so much that they will try to take away their man. Even when they have never met that woman.
Yeah we all know, everyone wants to play with the toy someone else is playing with.
But guys, do you really want to sink down to the level of a woman? Are you really going to try to start a relationship using a lie to get the attention of a home wrecker?
If she thinks she took you from someone, she will always think someone can take you from her. You do not want a woman that thinks like that in your life. To bad you can't fake being rich...

Who says the guy is trying to start a relationship?

That fake "real life girlfriend" that you actually take around at holiday events, etc., so as not to look so lame...hey isn't that already called an "escort service?" And these gals are always hookers with a fancier name.

At least they are honest about what they really want.

how can this possibly work?? if a man is lame (unfortunately today most are) hen women know this and no amount of trying to get her jealous is going to work..what a lame idea

You overestimate a lot of women.

a guy who can use this scam effectively is the guy who doesn't need it, the guy who does need it will screw it up like every other tired approach he's tried and struck out with. women aren't idiots

These guys are already lonely, so let's rob them of their dignity too? I can't speak for all women, but I can speak for myself: I'm not attracted to taken men or liars.

"They say the best way to get a girlfriend is to already have one" .... BECAUSE females like to break up marriages and already exisiting relationships?

Not just women, everyone does. It's human nature and historical fact.

[IrieMoon]

09:53 AM on 10/05/2011

Not everyone does.

Once a man has a wedding ring on or a steady girlfriend he is automatically off limits. I guess it's my compassion for other humans and knowing what it's like to be cheated on that prevents me from wanting other women to feel like their heart has been ripped out of their chest.
