I assumed I would be making and editing pictures of beautiful smiling women to put in adverts, but I was actually assigned to be the faceless male role in these adverts. This I found out on my first day and suddenly I was in front of a camera.
Another thing that I didn't expect was that the beautiful women in these ads were actually real. They had glowing, beautiful smiles that they had with me all the time, even when the camera wasn't on.
The staff said it had to be convincing and as real as possible, so the girls had to be with me as part of their jobs.
What followed was a strange change in my life. Strange beautiful women were chasing me, taking me on dates, talking to me as if we were in a deep relationship, and telling me that they loved me.
I knew that it was make believe... but did they know?
Whenever a job was over, the girls would still go after me, like the relationships were still going. they didn't want to leave my side.
Then there were the adult-oriented ones. The girls there wanted to live out scenarios long after those jobs were done too. It was unbelievably exhausting.
It was rare when I got to hang out with my friends again. I was at one guy's house and he was showing me something on his computer when an ad popped up; an ad that my faceless body appeared in. It was very explicit and it brought back memories of how tired and drained I felt after it.
"That's so obnoxious and fake" he said, clicking it away. If only he knew.
