Once again, this is not an infomercial....
In October, I previously posted about a mobile phone service featuring virtual Japanese wives. Now, a similar service is available to single Japanese woman who want a virtual Japanese boyfriend since finding one in real life with all the qualities above maybe a little difficult. Kaoru Souma , Shun Aiba, Tukasa Ayakawa and Ryuuji Ayakawa are the attractive single virtual guys created by the team at Web-Kare (web boyfriend). An interesting note, if you take a closer look you will see that the virtual boyfriends tend to be your 'boy next door' image and not really macho or muscular. Apparently, these types are not so attractive to Japanese women.
Like other social networking services and dating simulation sites, the site offers personal profiles, miniblogs, bbs and direct messaging. The service has been quite successful and has grown to more than 20,000 Japanese women in their twenties and thirties having registered for the service.
As I shrug my shoulders and put my hands in the air..I say...."What will be next....virtual motivational coaches..??!!"
