    Am a woman - can confirm. It’s such a self own it’s laughable. They didn’t want a partner in the true sense to begin with.

        Do you talk about your worries and fears to the fleshlight beside your bed? Do you try and plan a future with the magazine you’ve made sticky?

        All to say I don’t care what gets your jollies off (legally of course) but there’s a huge difference between self pleasure and building a life with another human being.

        Maybe you’ll experience it some day.

          You don’t know what people with do with their bots. You’re just looking for somebody to hate.

            It is more like that those people can’t get a real women because a woman is allowed to have a standard nowadays so they try to save face with “I didn’t wanted a real women to begin with. Bots are better anyway. I’m not lonely, you are lonely”.

              That is not even close to the only reason, nor even the primary reason, that single men are single. It’s just a sexist generalization.

              As a ‘bonus’, it also prejudicially implies that only bad people are lonely, which in turn villainizes socially-awkward men and other men who have trouble finding love through no fault of their own, and contributes toward the radicalization of these men, making them more vulnerable to the Tates etc. of the world.

              So please, don’t do that. This is literally the male version of telling a woman she’s ‘ruined’ because she’s no longer a virgin.

                You are putting words in my mouth and than argue against them.

        What a stupid question. Do you think people use sex toys as a replacement for emotional intimacy and shared life experiences or is this a self-tell that you think relationships are nothing more than sex?

          Are you going to force people who own bots to use them for emotional intimacy and shared life experiences, or does your crystal ball tell you this will happen?

            I mean that seems hugely implied by the pictures in the above post no?

            Edit: oh you said forced. No? But I don’t see how that’s relevant. Why would you ask “Do you have sex toys?” In response to that comment?

              I think the point was “I don’t assume you are in love with your dildo, and so you shouldn’t assume consumers of sex robots are, or desire to be, in love with their sex robots.”

              The picture in OP isn’t really a counterargument, as it’s arguably an appeal to one specific slice of the nascent sex-robot customer base.

              I have to admit, while sex-robot is not a thing on my want list, if it were I’d tend to see it as a super fancy sex toy, not as a companion. (Though again I recognize that for some it probably would be.)
