It is pervasive in NYC for men to have a companion to appear with at a meeting or a party with friends or family that they rarely see. In these cases, men usually contact escort agencies, often offering the girlfriend experience or the GFE service, in which escorts pretend they are the ideal girlfriend. Naturally, everyone will envy seeing you with a beautiful woman by your arm, and not even for a second will they think you paid for your companion. You would be surprised to see how many men choose to do when needing company.
