Sounds like a great opportunity to create service like Uber, but with wives

  You mean, tinder?

    Honestly, for Tinder-like service you just need to turn on WeChat in the evening and run "people nearby" search so that you pop up on a list with updated location. The offers stream themselves.

      > The offers stream themselves. Interesting turn of phrase there...

        That's how it actually works. You don't even have to do anything. Just opt-in to temporarily share your location by running a "people in the neighbourhood" scan. "Girls" start writing to you offering "door-to-door full range of services". I say "girls" because I strongly suspect those are fake accounts run by some agency that will dispatch actual workers to you when you agree for the service. I think so, because otherwise China has a really big evening employment and entertainment problem.

      And this is why my wife won't let me use wechat. Many of my laowai friends had a lot of fun with that.

        I installed it like few days ago in hope to establish some unfiltered communication to home, and I already want to uninstall it, because deleting the offers that start coming after midnight is just an annoying hassle. I think it's a fine app to use, but never, ever do a location search after the sun is down. (That is, if you're not interested in the serivces. If you are, then I guess WeChat is paradise on Earth for the Laowai.)
