Buying GF

In many online games, players advertise their willingness to purchase in-game items in trade channels or populated areas. Players in the role-playing game Runescape often had in-game girlfriends, which many speculated were actually men masquerading as women to scam users for gold and items. The “buying gf” expression was subsequently invented as a joke to mock these online relationships.
