Do you wish instead that you could just hire a hot guy to serve you food, do your laundry, or dole out creative compliments whenever you walk into a room? Beginning in the fall, new San Francisco-based startup ManServants promises you can have all that, and more, with their rent-a-perfect-guy service. The men for hire go through “a very rigorous training process,” co-founder Dalal Khajah [told Mashable](http://mashable.com/2014/07/29/manservants-startup/?utm%5Fsource=Daily+Skimm&utm%5Fcampaign=8043c696d4-daily%5Fskimm&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fterm=0%5F74efee6205-8043c696d4-24251605), and they can be hired to do whatever the client wants. During the testing phase of the service, one woman wanted a sassy gay friend to give her relationship advice. Another wanted her man to serve her food while singing songs from _The Little Mermaid._ The singing will cost you extra – according to ManServants’ [website](http://manservants.co), the standard services include waiting on you hand and foot, serving drinks, acting as a body guard, taking photos, giving compliments, and “\[cleaning\] up your hot mess.” For an additional fee, you can get your ManServant to do things like speak in an accent, or give you a spa day complete with cucumber water and chocolate covered strawberries. (The website doesn’t say what it will cost you to hire your ManServant, but he will be compensated by the company beginning at $80 per hour and $300 per day.) Josephine Wai Lin, Khajah’s business partner, explained all the customizable options: “Every woman’s fantasy is different.” But one thing the men won’t do is fulfill fantasies that are less innocent than say, singing “Under the Sea.” In the ManServants code of conduct it says, “A ManServant keeps his penis in his pants and out of the lady’s face.” Chivalry isn’t dead! The company’s vision is “to empower women to make their own rules. Rules a ManServant may then follow.” So watch the hilarious promo video, and start coming up with ideas. ## Transcript [00:00] [ MUSIC ] [00:09] The [00:19] lady [00:28] is [00:38] arrived.
