Nine Bucks An Hour's A Little Low, But For A Few Dollars More, I'm Game
-
I saw the headline "Middle-aged men for rent in Japan" and thought what YOU'RE thinking, but, no, there's none of THAT involved. No, for nine dollars an hour, you can rent a man who can come over and do OTHER man things, mostly being a friendly and wise ear for someone to pour out their troubles, plus the occasional manual labor like lifting boxes. It's a way for people who don't have an older male presence in their life to talk things out with a father or uncle figure. And it's an interesting solution to an issue most people don't talk about.
