Women, would you use a guy friend to keep creeps away in a bar?

Let's face it, creepy guys exist everywhere. Years ago my female friends would ask me to act like their boy friend to keep drunk creepy guys away, I would always joke and say I should start a business being a hired boyfriend/bodyguard.

This past weekend, I was in a bar in Bushwick, enjoying some scotch. Now, I don't troll for women in bars, not a good environment to meat someone really, but my background and experiences in life cause me to be very observant of the world around me, and in particular possible negative actions.

As I was people watching, I noticed a group of women. I'd say they were about 23 or so, a couple of them were noticeably drunk. As the night went on, I started noticing a guy was taking a lot of interest in this group of women. He continued to progressively get closer and closer, until he finally was damn near in their laps. I could visually tell the women weren't exactly happy with the guy, trying their best to ignore him. I got tired of seeing this, so I went up to the guy, and asked him if he would like a shot. He agreed, and I led him to the end of the bar, where I ordered him a water, and tactfully, though tersely told him to leave the women alone and made it clear it was in his best interest to leave entirely.

I returned to my seat and continued to enjoy my drink after I saw him walk out the door. A few minutes later one of the women came up to me.

"Your friend was very drunk." She told.

"Wasn't my friend, just needed a way to get him away from you girls." I replied.

She was thankful and offered to buy me a drink. I thanked her but declined the offer, but soon after she went back to her group the rest of the girls moved to the table next to me. We had a conversation, and I explained I just don't like drunk creeps.

For the most part I kept to myself the rest of the night, but I started thinking about my joke with my friends from years ago. What if there was a service for women to rent a "boyfriend" to keep creepy guys away?

Obviously if there were such a service as I suggest, there would be strict rules and vetting of potential "boyfriends" in place in order to provide the safest service possible. I imagine it almost like an uber type request service, or a type of scheduled service.
