Finding love can be tough, and many people feel lonely when they can't find that special someone. But in Japan, there's a unique solution for those who are single: they can hire a girlfriend by the hour through certain websites, some of which are even approved by the government. This unusual service was introduced after the government noticed an increase in loneliness among single and unmarried individuals. However, this isn't a cheap service. Those looking to hire a girlfriend have to shell out over Rs 3000 per hour with a minimum two-hour rental. On top of that, there's an extra charge of around Rs 1200 to pick a girlfriend, although your first selection is free. This new approach to combating loneliness is a fascinating solution to a growing problem in today's society.
