A woman became viral on social media after sharing that she decided to “rent” a man to act as her boyfriend for 1 hour while she bought a new car.
In the clip, the man is seen talking to the seller and doing a thorough inspection of the pickup, where he even kneels to check the underside and opens the bonnet to look for problems.
“Me and the man I hired to pretend he was my boyfriend for an hour so I wasn’t cheated when I bought this car,” wrote Roux In the text that appears over the video, which has already collected over 800,000 views.
According to studies, this practice is very common. Mechanics automatically assume that women know less about cars, and therefore adapt the offers.
A Reddit post from 2022 sparked debate online after a person overheard an auto workshop that was “proud” of cheating women. “Although I know about cars, they still try to cheat me. If I bring my dad, the mood is completely different,” said a woman.
“I did the same for my lesbian best friend when she bought her first motorcycle. I felt honored,” a man shared in the comments on the video. “It’s a good idea. Just make sure he knows what he’s talking about and what to look for. For he can be cheated too,” another added.
