Facebook的出現讓大家的感情狀態變得公開。相戀、分手都在狀態欄一目了然。如今，巴西一家網站又拿情感狀態做文章，推出Facebook頁面假女友信息出售服務。39美元就可獲得30天的女友信息服務，包括女友資料、兩人約會狀態記錄及評論等信息。如果手頭緊，可以花19美元創建一個“前女友”資料。至于這項服務背后的需求來源，該網站表示，有人是為了向朋友們炫耀，有些是為了在女士當中獲得自信，還有一些是為了讓剛剛分手的前女友嫉妒，另外有一些是為了應付家人的催促。為了提升假女友們的層次，該網站目前正邀請廣大女性用戶上傳資料，并承諾一旦被采用便能獲得收益的一半。目前，該網站還不提供假男友信息服務，不過正在籌劃中。

For $39.00 NamoroFake.com.br will create a Facebook girlfriend profile for you that includes comments and the all-important "relationship status" change for thirty days.

Facebook has radically altered (some would say ruined) the dating scene. Relationships and breakups are now public information, first dates have lost their mystery because of preemptive Facebook stalking, and once-stable relationships are threatened by flirtatious wall posts.

Now, in this altered dating landscape, a Brazilian website has apparently identified a niche for potential profit. Their product? Fake Facebook girlfriends.

For $39.00 NamoroFake.com.br will create a Facebook girlfriend profile for you that includes comments and the all-important "relationship status" change for thirty days. Or, for those on a budget, $19.00 will buy you a fake ex-girlfriend.

"Impress your friends," says the website. "Gain confidence with women." Indeed those trading in virtual deception may find an ally in NamoroFake.

So is hiring a fake Facebook girlfriend right for you? The website suggests a number of possible reasons to hire a fake flame. Pure desperation didn't make the list.

"Sometimes having a fake girlfriend on the Internet helps make you more popular with the women and increases your self esteem," says the website.

"Sometimes people need to rent a fake girlfriend to make jealous a jealous ex-girlfriend. In truth, we have a lot of clients for that reason," it says. "After a breakup, the ex-boyfriends want to show that they are already with another person to feel good. One immediate way to do this is to hire a fake girlfriend to maintain appearances."

The justifications need not be entirely restricted to jealousy or "keeping up appearances," suggests the site. Maybe your family is pressuring you to settle down with someone and you need a quick fix to get them off your back. If so, NamoroFake might just be the solution.

To bolster the ranks of fake girlfriends, the website is inviting women to send in their profiles, with a 50 percent profit-sharing incentive. There are currently no fake Facebook boyfriends for hire, though the site says it has plans to offer them in the future.
