As the "Chinese Valentine's Day", "Qixi", many netizens have come up with suggestions to solve the "embarrassing" status of being single in the "Qixi" season. Many netizens have posted "Qixi Rent Yourself" on their microblogs, Wang Yunqiang, a psychology expert at Nanjing Normal University, said, "This actually reflects the inner desire for communication and interaction. It's just a gimmick put into entertainment in external form, which is a mediation for one's own psychology
On the morning of the 23rd, Nanjing netizens posted a Weibo account titled "Renting Yourself for Valentine's Day" online: "Accompanying shopping for 15 yuan/hour (shoe sole to be reimbursed), dining for 8 yuan/hour (employer treat system), watching movies for 10 yuan/hour, offering a 20% discount for 3 or more events, holding hands for 10 yuan/time, hugging for 20 yuan/time, kissing for 30 yuan/time (with no vegetable leaves between teeth). If sparks occur during a day of contact, no fees will be charged. If you are the one, please do not disturb There are also many stores to choose from, and "free shipping" includes other standards such as "50 yuan is only a service fee for one day, and the actual expenses incurred during the service process due to service needs should be borne by the buyer", in addition to clearly indicating prices to Weibo netizens.
Shopping malls offer discounts for couples, cinemas offer special events for lovers, and restaurants offer couple packages... Many "single people" lose their sense of belonging to the city on Valentine's Day. In addition, the developed social networks make it easier for everyone to see photos of their friends "enjoying happiness", creating a certain level of "peer pressure". Wang Yunqiang stated that the pressure formed by these external social environments will actually exacerbate the loneliness of single people and make them more eager for spiritual communication and exchange.
Wang Yunqiang affirmed the spontaneous behavior of netizens, saying, "Renting oneself" will not appear unusual in the context of modern society, and everyone can accept this approach. Compared to keeping this pressure in their minds, using this entertainment attitude and joking way to resort to it has a positive effect on personal psychological mediation
