The Dutch are bringing a whole new perspective to the realm of online dating. Their approach: skip the dating altogether and go straight to a wife, but only when you need one. A Dutch website called Rent A Wife offers you the opportunity to do just that, rent a wife, apparently for those odd occasions when you just might need one.
Now, my Dutch is a bit rusty non-existent, but from the looks of it you are able to browse by body type, measurements, age, hair and eye color. It also seems as if they have a sort of classifieds section, where potential wifes are listed with their stats along with a specialty they might have. No word on pricing.
If anyone knows any Dutch please feel free to visit the site and do some translation for us. Otherwise, we’ll leave it at its face value: a joke. The concept of renting a wife basically throws the notion of marriage sanctity right out the window. On the other hand, I imagine it opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for swingers.

Dat is zo grappig = that is so funny
I wonder what would be considered an odd occasion that you simply must have a wife
I wonder what the specialties are!
@ Carin - where did you learn that?
@ Christine - meeting with relatives, work functions, baby making, etc.
@ Erika - find someone that knows Dutch I’m curious too!
But the wives are not for keeps, their rented…so what do you tell you’re relatives when your “wife” cant go to a specific function because she’s booked?
Are you kidding? There’s a myriad of excuses you could use. For example, just tell them that she is out working the corner (your relatives will laugh it off as a joke, but in actuality you’re telling them the truth).
Apart from that, just use the “she ate some bad guacamole” excuse. Works every time because no one dares to find out anymore details.
What if she quits the industry altogether, just tell them it didnt work out? What if the grandparents pressure for babies? It just seems like too much work for a lie.
That’s the difference between us Tadros, where you see problems, I see opportunities. If she quits the industry altogether that is a good thing for men, because then they get to move on to the next rent-a-wife. It totally takes the cheating aspect out of relationships, as the wives will come and go so often that there won’t be any time for cheating.
As for the excuses, that’s easy, you can just say what all Hollywood couples do: irreconcilable differences. And the grandparent pressure for kiddies, just say she was sterile. Problem solved.
If he goes through five wives, it will look like he cant get it together. That’s what makes hollywood couples entertaining.
Hey if Liz Taylor can have like 10 husbands then five wives is no problem for a man.
Look at Britney Spears, she’s like 25 and has already been through two husbands. Now if she had rented a husband she wouldn’t have lost all that money and partial custody of her children to her ex-husband. Beginning to see the light now?
Such a guy’s prespective…
jon & christine…..you guys are so weird
