FINALLY. It's the startup we've all been waiting for. ManServants is here to help you rent a guy to do whatever the hell you want. He can be your butler, bodyguard, or simply pay you incessant compliments. You can call him anything you'd like ("Ryan Gosling, come hither," for example) and choose how he dresses. Basically, this SF-based startup connects you with a cute guy to boss around for $80 an hour, or $300 a day.
The app, founded by two women, has been in beta tests for months, and in that time one client has requested that her ManServant serve food while singing tunes from The Little Mermaid. Just a warning, songs and special accents do cost extra—not kidding.
Do note, according to co-founder Dalal Khajah, "It's completely PG," and that "A ManServant keeps his penis in his pants and out of the lady's face." Because oily strippers shoving it in your face is fun for no one.
He will respond to your every need with "As you wish," and address you as "My Lady." Here are a few other things your man servant can do:
Serenade you with some "Hey There Delilah" while you bathe.
Cool you off with some champagne while hanging in the pool in a tux.
And the most valuable of all, simply take photos for you to Instagram.
