Since a few months I am single. During the holidays I got a lot of questions about me being single. Questions like: Oh are you here alone and when you are going to find your true love?
The Invisible Boyfriend platform offers a solution. It isn’t a typical online dating service. It doesn’t connect you to your new true love; instead, it allows you to fabricate a significant other and then provides “real-world and social proof” that you’re in a relationship.
Users are able to give their invisible boyfriend a name, age and personality. The service takes care of the rest, providing texts, voicemails and even post cards to assure your friends and family that you won’t be dying alone.
Why is it cool?
I find it pretty remarkable that even in 2015 people assume you are in a relationship and if you are not something is wrong with you. This idea in a way is very funny but is also confirmes that we still think like that. That is why I would never make use of a service like this. Maybe it is ideal to get rid of annoying acquaintances who ask awkward questions.
