With my luck, she would crash.
"I was dating this cool robot girl, but she got a nasty virus."
And then what would happen if it didn't work out? Would she demand half the internet in the settlement?

'"Sex only goes so far — then you want to be able to talk to the person," Hines said.' (emphasis added).
Now isn't the specialist thing about a robot it isn't a person? If people were enough, hey, there are seven billion of them.
For those of you who have seen blade runner, the animatrix, or buffy, you know that this road only leads to madness. |

See, I'm also concerned about this idea that inventors are trying to make the sex robots as human-like as possible. At some point, perhaps you don't want the robot to be any more human. Otherwise it may start asking awkward questions or making very human demands:
"Your Starcraft friend Jim has a sex robot and HE knows how to treat a robot. HE just bought her a new quad Athlon upgrade. You never do anything for ME!"
"Why should I give you sex on command when you never bathe and you just sit and play video games all day and eat Doritos in your sweatpants? Honestly, now I know why you couldn't get a human girlfriend!"
And what happens if she leaves you and goes home to mother? Then all the computers in the world will refuse to have anything to do with you! |

...you have actually been giving this some thought. 
Funny stuff.  |

I wonder about that too! The inventor says that his intention was not to invent a better blow-up doll but to create a conversational companion for the lonely or isolated.
Sure. Which is why it was debuted in Vegas. If you'll excuse me, the good ship Lollipop is casting off.
Another thing which made me laugh was that the robot has settings, from "Wild Wendy" to "Frosty Farrah." If anyone remembers her pin-up posters from the 70s, I didn't connect 'frosty' to 'Farrah'! |

Maybe many men would just prefer to jerk off and save their money.
That's pretty much what this is. A masturbation tool. |
