Virtual Wife Nags You to Lose Weight

Virtual Wife Nags You to Lose Weight

October 24, 2008

Getting a little thick around the middle?

Maybe a nagging wife would help.

DVICE reports that Japanese weight loss site Metaboinfo.com is offering virtual wives who will harangue subscribers to stick to their diets. From DVICE:

The free service of the site offers you one of four wives to choose from — with presumably more if you pay — and you can select and name a giggly maid (oh, Japan!), a cold businesswoman, a loving nurse or a fashion-minded nail artist.

 

You then input your vitals into the site, agree on a diet and health plan, and daily you'll start getting four nag-filled emails from your "wife" that'll be tender or bossy depending on which lady you picked and how you're doing.

Only in Japan could someone come up with something this weird.

This isn't too bad of an idea. Lots of people stray from eating healthy. You can still feel bad for being nagged about not eating right, but if you get irate and tell your virutal wife to #*(! off, no harm done.

*blank stare* who in their right mind would want (let alone pay for) that?

Yeah that's what men want, all the nagging with none of the sex or food preparing.

On the bright side it does come with a mute button ^^
