I guess I'm a little old fashioned and out of touch. It's hard for me to rationalize any grown person dating a A I anything unless they're strungout on mushrooms.
The only upside to me is not having to please or impress your date.
No unwanted pregnancies is a plus and zero snoring is good too.
Still not for me, I want a female touch and emotional conection and you can't cuddle a computer.
Advice to the young women who are out there: just be sure dude is not into porn, sissy hypno porn or fetish groups. We who divorced suddenly crossdressing men typically had no idea that dude is an autogynophile, a man who is aroused by the fantasy that he can have a female arousal experience. In my data on trans widows the younger generation of women is most at risk for violence when dude suddenly brings out his fetish demands. Documentary: Behind the Looking Glass at Lime Soda Films YT channel for a window into the experiences of 18 trans widow and 1 grown daughter of AGP father. Watch out for the narcissists! They will love bomb you and then berate you if you don't agree to their fetish scenarios. The real deal from survey, 20 Questions to Ask a Trans Widow:
My 2 adult sons are college aged and both single. They are more centrist conservatives and are absolutely open to and willing to hear out other peoples opinions. Unfortunately many girls/women their ages are not the same. These girls only see their side and are not open to understanding differing points of view. And they can be extremely combative when ideas don’t mirror theirs. Young women like the ones I’m referencing are going to have sad and lonely lives until they open their minds and hearts. My boys are funny, smart, giving and kind. Women who are not open to men like them because they don’t think abortion is the only protection women deserve are missing out.
A few years ago, my all girl catholic high school class was planning its 50 year reunion. The date conflicted with a trip that my boyfriend and I had planned but I was privy to all the chat on our school's facebook page. One thing stood out to me; most of the women married the boys they dated in high school and most of those marriages thrived. We often post photos from our travels around the world, there are lots of family pictures with grandchildren and one recently posted one of her granddaughter getting married. I'm sure they had their struggles but their faith, values and common goals got them through.
My early marriage was none of that and I believe it was because I thought I knew better. I was attracted to a guy who left the country to avoid going to Vietnam and, thanks to an empathetic professor, continued his education while back packing through Europe. He returned to the U.S. estranged from his parents and with a self-righteous chip on his shoulder that I misinterpreted as intelligence. Our impetuous marriage fell apart and the reasons were a series of complications encased in an egg that was rotten. Our values, hopes and dreams were not compatible.
The man in my life and I have been together for decades. We met in our thirties, broke up and reignited a much stronger flame when we were in our forties. Now in our seventies we have a great time together and we are that shoulder to lean on during this season of our lives.
My sage advice: Please pass on the "bots." Don't waste time on these fake relationships. Pursue the real; holding hands is so much better.
Where and when I grew up if things got broken we fixed them. Out of necessity and because we tried until we did.
The same applies to our marriage. 42 years later and the feeling one gets of having shared our lives for so long, having validated the life and achievements of my wife .. and she mine .. is a treasure that I will hold onto until death.
Dear TFP, there is not a way to express just how insanely wasteful this content likely is to the average person who subscribes to your publication. Either present us with content worthy of our money, or prepare to lose your base.
If only Hollywood, the content media industry and the music world would start glorifying the beauty of committed relationships, maybe the global dating market might yield less desperate, lonely people. AI boyfriends? I’d rather a dog, a roaring fireplace, a glass of wine and a vibrator if all else fails.
To Trudy below (who shares names with one of my favorite old school Austin restaurants), I prefer the FP love articles as their political takes now embody the same “try to hard to be something you’re not” aspect of bad relationships. To all the young people who are forgoing dating, this old man whose played many more than one in my days, offers this advice: embrace life and each other. You can’t cuddle an AI Chatbot. Life is suffering as the Buddhists remind us and intimate pair bonding is literally the origin and essence of life itself. I didn’t read the article that started with the Famous Seven Minutes followed by instant break up, but I know the heartache too well. Breaking up painfully and being broken up with viciously, cheating and being cheated on: these experiences may not all happen to a fortunate few but most folks suffer some sinking separations in the quest for true romance. But in the end, when you look back at those you’ve truly loved (and even those you just shared bodies and minds with for a few hours), the good memories will overwhelm the bad and you will be glad you lived your life to the fullest.
Reminds me to recommend Gary Turk's 5-minute video "Look Up"
If these women are heterosexual, all this does is produce a bunch of horny women.
This proves that Dem/Socs really are crazy.

TFP. Comments cut off. What’s up?

Nothing on earth like it. Irreplaceable.

Just….sad
All creatures are meant to mate and reproduce
Liking your partner is, in the long run, is more important than love and infatuation of a hot romance. Lifelong friends are priceless
Dating AI bots? Those people are raising more red flags than a Chinese embassy! Yikes!
