Kaiwen – Wow, they’ve already made a movie about it! I’ve not heard of that movie but will be sure to check it out. Many thanks!

And Pete, just to summarise:

Every year there are various stories about this in the news. Many of my friends have either done it themselves or heard of friends doing it. And there’s a movie about it.

Do you still think this phenomenon is not widespread?

This may reveal my awful taste in movies, but I though 合约情人 was already about that…

Seraph – Yes it is!

Pete – It’s pretty obvious that it’s widespread from talking to people and even from the reaction of blog readers here. Appearances are everything. It’s not uncommon for gay guys to marry gay girls to “appear” normal for the families’ sake, or at least to pretend to be a couple. Many people I know seem to know someone in this kind of situation, and anecdotal evidence is no less valid than other types.

D – Same to you.

DaveNYC – I’m serious, I think it would be a winner, except it’s probably very seasonal with new year being the peak season of course.

I’m also considering auctioning my “prized” possession. Any takers?

Jin – See my comment to Pete above. You’ll see that it’s unlikely a gay guy would hire another guy to take to his parents. But if the money was right …

Woai…I am sure you are equal opportunity…but I hope you don’t get any offers from the male gender…now that would be an interesting family meet and greet session.

Not a bad business idea. No one gets harm and everyone’s happy.

Everyone hear about the college student who is auctioned off her “prized” procession to pay for college? I don’t think she needs college anymore after all that money.

WOAI, Happy CHINESE New Year!

I don’t see how one can say definitively that this practice is widespread without actually providing stats rather than relying on anecdotes and a article that’s published each year.
