I saw this article in the New York Times about a Chinese girl advertising for a boyfriend to take home for the Lunar New Year. So timely given that the Lunar New Year's Day and Valentine's Day fall on the same date this year.
I hope my parents don't ever give me that much grief that I would resort to those kind of tactics. But I hope I wouldn't. I would feel uncomfortable about the deception and dishonesty, but understand the lengths people go to stop other people's nagging!
(H/T to Alex for the article.)

I read an article once that said that sometimes women hire male escorts to pretend to be their boyfriend at social functions so they can show off to their peers. (I won't give you the link; it's not a helpful read.) It amazed me that anyone would do that in this day and age, but I guess it's not really surprising.
