Wingwomen?
I continue to be amazed at the entreprenurial spirit of some young folks. This NY Times article reports on a new business that brokers attractive young women to accompany young men to social gatherings for the purpose of making the young men appear more attractive to other women at the gathering. Amazing.
Hat tip to Marginal Revolution's Tyler Cowen for the link to the article, and Tyler's point that women judging a man by the quality of his girlfriend or wife is known in economic circles as a "sufficient statistic."
