Could someone buy your love (companionship)?

[questioner]

A REAL GOOD LOOKING MALE FRIEND (who is about 25) was approached recently by an older women at a restaurant. She must have been about fifty. She told him that she was a VERY weathy window and wanted a young man around the house to take care of her "basic needs"

She offered him the following:

A no rules relationship. He would live in her mansion rent free (in his own room) and would be paid about $100K to be at her call. When she needed someone to take care of her social needs, he would be on call. The rest of the time would be his own. He could take care of his own affairs, work, carry on with other women, etc, the rest of the time.

He is seriously considering the arrangement. He visited her at her very fancy home in Portland, Oregon and verified her financial status. A lawyer would put together a contract. Nothing would be illegal.

Would you go for something similar if you were young, financially struggling, attractive and single?

 

[Marseeya]

Why would we have to be young and attractive for an offer like this?

And no, I wouldn't. I had an "offer" like that right around the time I met my DH. Fell head over heels with him and he didn't have a dime to his name.

 

[Sparx]

I would NOT take that offer. It sounds illegal. Like prostitution or something.

 

[GoodFairies]

Only if I had spilled cheap red wine on my mom's $1000 white suede hoochie outfit.

 

[Pam]

Are you asking me out on a date, questioner????

A very wealthy WINDOW? hehehehe does he have to hose her with Windex now and then?

 

[ashjohnson80]

Yeah I would let a window pay me to live near it.

 

[lulugirl]

Uh, yea, I'm sure that actually happened.

 

[Mermaid02]

Tell her to get a poodle.

Good eyes! I didn't catch that one!! Wonder if he would have to use a squeegee??

 

[questioner]

YES, I know some of my questions are a bit unusual and you may think that this one is a joke just trying to get responses. BUT.... this is a true story and I am looking for serious replies.

 

[ashjohnson80]

righhhht.... just a bit too suspicious methinks.

 

[trappednabox]

No I wouldn't, I would feel like I was cheap & being used. I could never do anything like that! I would rather be poor and lonely but happy about myself

 

[grinningghost]

No way. It's like prostitution.

 

[Briarmom]

It depends. If Johnny Depp wanted me to be at his beck and call, I'd do whatever he wanted.

 

[hugsquared]

Hmmm....I wonder what Conversationist would say to this?????

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Oh, yeah, spray me with Windex. I didn't catch the typo, either.

 

[Pam]

Oh, yeah, spray me with Windex.

Aha! So, you're THAT kind of a gal, eh??

 

[miste76]

I think this depends... When you say "basic needs" does that mean social needs or sexual needs? If it's just social (not sexual), then what's the difference between that and a live in nurse, housekeeper or nanny? If it's sexual as well, then it's not legal as you have stated in your OP. This is something for this guy to really think about, it's a lot of money (without a mortgage payment either) and it could be looked at as just another job - who knows... she might be a nice woman and he may enjoy spending some time with this person.
