Be proud you live in a capitalist society! You can make money any way you want! Even to be someone's imaginary girlfriend.

Hmmm. Though I can see some of the guys at the local singles hangout take advantage of this service (one-upping themselves, I guess,) this is a new low for eBay. What the premise is (in case you don't follow the link, thanks, Cory!) a woman, for a bid price, will send you perfume-scented letters and emails for a month (or more,) then you "dump" her and she sends you one more letter begging you to take her back. She sends letters, pictures, even perfume-scented undergarments (yup.) There is no meeting, phone calls, or even the need to answer the letters/emails. It is the tool for studly men who need something to show to the other studly men ("hey guys, see the picture of my hot 21-YO girlfriend!")

In case you are wondering, ladies, there is a catagory for imaginary boyfriends. But ewwww, I regretted going to one of these ebay links. Buyer beware! And I'd like to see an interview with the woman who bid on this "seksy" guy.

So, it is possible to make money in any way. But gentle readers, I am considering conventional ways to do just that.
