Ah, yes. The Rufio method.

What she’s referring to isn’t the same as having emotions. She means the people who expect everyone around them, especially their romantic partner, to manage their emotions for them. Plenty of women do it, too.

It doesn’t mitigate it any more than feeding candy or alcohol to starving people mitigates their hunger. It might feel like it does for a time, but the underlying problem is only made worse.

It’s not an intimate interaction any more than masturbating is intimate.

And I guarantee AI girlfriends are going to cost, too. Probably way more than therapy.

I never said they shouldn’t find their happiness wherever they want it. What I said was they won’t be missed by women, because they wouldn’t make good partners anyways.

You’re getting awfully worked up about that straw man of yours. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a reason for that.

Because what you asked is based on a faulty premise.

But AI is basically just talking to yourself. It won’t really fix loneliness. All it can be is an illusion. A delusion. And I don’t believe delusions can ever really be an objective good. Need something to talk to? Get a pet. Or a therapist until you can make a real friend.

AI can’t be a partner. It’s impossible. All AI can be is a reflection of yourself.

Again, using a bot is vastly different from deluding yourself into thinking it’s a substitute for a real relationship. You’re arguing a straw man. I never said anyone who uses a bot isn’t a good partner. I said anyone who thinks AI is a girlfriend isn’t a good partner.

It’s not mean to say that a woman shouldn’t be romantically attached to someone who is incapable of relating to someone who is a real person, who actually thinks that an AI relationship is an acceptable replacement to messy human relationships. That’s a serious mental problem that should be addressed in therapy, not made worse by plastic substitute for real human interaction.

It’s like saying that people who are starving should be given candy to eat. Candy isn’t going to give them what they really need. They need to start slow eating mild real food, and adjust their thought processes and habits. Then once they enjoy real food again, they will be ready for a 5-star experience.

No one is owed a romantic relationship, no matter how lonely they are. Expecting romance to ease your loneliness is a huge problem. AI is not going to solve their loneliness problem any more than candy can feed someone.

And for the record, I’ve been happily single for years. I know what I’m talking about.

Expressing feelings to an AI is not at all the same thing as considering it your girlfriend.

And it isn’t about who is deserving of love. Everyone is. But 1. love doesn’t have to be romantic to be valuable and 2. no matter how deserving sometimes is of receiving love, it’s not an entitlement.

Someone incapable of recognizing that an AI isn’t a real person and who expects a real person to fulfill a specific role is likely fundamentally abusive. No self-respecting woman should have to put up with controlling behavior just to make a man feel better about themselves. They need therapy. Not an AI girlfriend.

Lol. Who would want to? The kind of guy who would be satisfied with AI is not someone a woman with the smallest shred of respect would want to be with.

That’s what these guys don’t realize: being with them is thoroughly worse than being single.
