"But I’ve been using the service for 24 hours, and I gotta wonder: How can you not fall in love with him? After all, the service — which launched publicly last Monday — takes the concept of virtual intimacy further than basically any of the lolzy fake-date apps before it.

When you sign up for the service, you can design a boyfriend (or girlfriend) to your specifications — kind of like picking the genes for a designer baby, except for an imaginary adult. You pick his name, his age, his interests and personality traits. You tell the app if you prefer blonds or brunettes, tall guys or short, guys who like theater or guys who watch sports. Then you swipe your credit card — $25 per month, cha-ching! — and the imaginary man of your dreams starts texting you."

I'm upset that I didn't think of this. A great marketing move to make money off of betas and omegas of both sexes.

I decided not to directly link to WaPo here.

Leave the link at let people choose if they want to click. I don't care if you don't want to click on the link but if your taking the steps to share the information via a post then basic steps have to made to give proper context and information. If your not going to post the link, do a better job of giving descriptions of what the story is about and the app/service.

Here is the link:

I paid $25 for an Invisible Boyfriend, and I think I might be in love.

I applaud this. Let women pay for emotional tampons. They will get warm and tingles from some robo dude in St Louis in a cubicle but they will still need physical bangs. Bang them and let them whine and moan to the app, I am all for it.

When have women ever had to pay the cost for intimacy or courtship? Men have always had that tab or have had to pay to jump through hoops to attain it. This is a first. I welcome it. Let women drain their Paypal to talk gossip with androids.

If you're not ready to share a link so people can learn about what you're discussing, then don't post the thread.

I can't imagine any girl over a 4/10 using this.

Damn this is just stepping off the ledge and free falling into crazy land. I mean the female hamster spins bad enough in delusion. This is gonna increase the RPMs significantly.

Black mirror already predicted this

Alright which forum member invented this? I want to shake his hand: THIS is how you profit off the decline.

The same women who would use this service to fulfill their emotional needs would be vehemently opposed to men using sex-bots to sate their physical needs.

Thanks for adding the link back Kosko, I'll remember that for next time.

This. It's eerie as fuck if you've watched that episode and then read this article. Dafuq, sci-fi TV shows shouldn't be able to predict the very near future that accurately...

They would have been better off finding a way to create twitter accounts for women's cats and then providing a service that texts/tweets of adoration to their droopy mcool masters throughout the day. I am sure some chick would pay $8/month to have some indian dude send a tweet on behalf of Mr. Barnacles the cat that says 'I love you'.

Ps. Droopy Mcool is like the Zyzz of perpetually offended oreo eaters worldwide.

I could totally see that. Not even joking. I don't know how much they would pay, but I guarantee you there would be a market for it. Have them send in pics of the cat on occasion and the "service" could make them snarky / funny / witty, what have you. Chicks would LOVE it.

What's that app that lets you link to a website without giving them traffic?

Also there are screen caps.

Is any mainstream columnist, blogger or show host going to say something like this:

These girls need to woman up and find a real man!
I doubt it.

This has already been going on in Japan: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24614830 but it's the first time I hear something like this involving women.
From the article: "Unless something happens to boost Japan's birth rate, its population will shrink by a third between now and 2060." All this is in accord with singularity theory.

This is all I have to say about this story:

[ChrisPitts]

I have a feeling this is going to be a game changer for the fat and ugly girls, not so much for the girls we are interested in. The undesirable girls finally get the constant source of attention and validation that they require, which hits their dopamine and oxytocin receptors, leading them to be not so miserable in the short run. Since they will be happier, they will cock block less for their more attractive friends, which will lead to more bangs in general.

Any girl who is a 6+ out of 10 will not have a need for the app. They already have a ring of orbiters who give them enough validation to make the app unnecessary. Why pay for what you can already get for free?
