Pitch, those German droids breathe and have a pulse? Cool, they just passed my dating requirements. Now if they don't have a 'headache' and are programmed not to reject anyone, I might actually get some.
See you CAN have some fun
A pulse LMAO
I want heat to..I get cold in July. | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 12:55:51 PM | Guys, guys..I'm not talking about a BOB or a doll.
I guess I should have written "android" instead of "robot"....in other words, EXACTLY like a human, except ..not..lol..
Pros: Everything in a person you've always desired; never ages; no temper tantrums; never looks at a person of the opposite sex with desire; can converse about anything you find interesting; does housework; never has a headache; gets on well with your parents..etc.
Con: Not human.
I'm tempted. Very tempted... | |

Some of those pros don't seem like positives to me! Never ages? Such "couples" would look pretty silly together after a decade or two.
Ultimately, whilst robo-maid may be very useful, a computer is a tool not a being. That which makes a person lovable is their humanity, in my opinion. For me, whilst I appreciate my partner being supportive, what keeps me interested is his mind. What is he thinking, what is his opinion on this? I don't care what a robot thinks, why would I? If I programmed it, I know what it thinks, I told it what perceptions to have. It's not going to come up with some astounding insight.
If it was perfect, which I doubt, if normal computers are anything to go by or my programming choices were involved, it's perfection would be wearying. How can I feel okay about feeling grumpy or inattentive if it never is? I think it would depress me to spend time with a robot facsimile of a human -- even if it wasn't Marvin-like, which I can't help but imagine it might be. | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 1:17:33 PM | | Much as I love the song Coin Operated Boy...no, I would not. The fallibilty of human nature is something you can't program..and part of what makes us unique. I'd rather just take the bad with the good and deal with it =) Plus..everytime I made his eyes roll back..deep down I'd know it's just cause he's programmed for that...nahhh. | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 1:28:36 PM | | Didn't Bradbury or Asimov write a story like this? I think it was called 'house' - or something like that. If I recall correctly it was even written from a woman's perspective. | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 1:37:50 PM | Tanith Lee had the definitive word on it, IMO, with "The Silver Metal Lover." It's a beautiful story... which ends with proof that our heroine's robot was indeed human, with real feelings, and a soul. Because that is what we all want in the end - to be truly loved.
Undoubtedly there are people who would settle for a facsimile of love. There are plenty of them doing it right now with human lovers. It doesn't turn out well. | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 1:43:35 PM | | Out in the general populace I see plenty of robots as it is. People are well on their way to becoming "droid-like" as it is. I blame "reality TV and POF". Actually I blame those for anything that troubles me. Currently it is "roids, not droids"... but I digress | |

Exactly what would these robots taste like? Seriously... this is an important factor in making a decision... | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 1:52:51 PM | | At first i was not going to say yes, but i will entertain the answer yes. The reason i would take a robot is it will not leave my side and it will take all of my flaws with and won't just tolerate them but love them. considering if it's not the super smart artificial intelligence that gets smart. what would she be like? strong, confident, adventurous and smiles in the face of danger, lol, those are attributes i wish i had, anyway, I guess it will look like a girl who i am absolutely crazy about right now, and have been for about 5 yrs since i met her. yeah i guess it could be cool. | |

I've dated a few robots and they bore the hell out of me, I don't want a man that is always agreeing with me, damn I can't even agree with myself | |

Well, I guess it would depend on you, Lint my darling.
My first thought was either dark chocolate or some interesting Thai flavours - maybe with a hint of chilli and coconut milk. But then I thought, mmmm...I might actually end up munching on something rather than savouring it, if ya get ma drift...

But you could program "Richard Gere" to argue back, AA. Except never in a nasty, cynical, black-humoured way - except if you're in the mood for that... | |

But you could always trade your robot SO for another one, I guess.
Then we are back to being on POF except now Robots/androids can come on here and complain about being traded in and nobody knows what they want AGAIN!!
Me? If I had to have a robot/android (which I really wouldn't want to have...) he would have to have very custom programming.
Some of the qualities that my exes had can be programmed into him on top of the qualities of my current sweetie.
Now that is a package! I would forever be kept on my toes! | |

I reckon I would still programme him to be wrong and me right LOL...it's in our nature we're women remember! | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 2:17:57 PM | Ladies, I can save you the hassle. I can get edible body paints (your choice of flavours), I will watch Star Wars repeatedly before we meet so I can replicate R2D2's voice... (or "chewy" if that get's you off) and for a few hundred thousand, you can program me to do whatever, whenever, wherever you want.
PIGOID.... | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 2:17:57 PM | Hey Friendly,
If a male would have asked this question he would have been PUMMELED!
But I found it kinda sad that no one mentioned passion as a quality included in the design of their man. I have learned entirely too much about women while reading these threads.
P.S. When I first read the subject I thought about the Was Not Was song "Robot Girl" | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 2:24:50 PM | Cassanova: you evidently haven't learned enough about women yet.
Passion is a GIVEN.
Mmmmm...passion...what flavour is that?
Anyhow, it's a unisex question...all sexes may answer. Even androids. | |

What? How could "passion" be a given? It's a machine.
It's not even tempting, in my opinion. I would not be aroused by a machine. | |

That's because you forgot to give him a peniis! Imagine being able to create the right penis, the right length, width, thrusting power...Yeah I reckon it would do the trick ! | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 2:56:10 PM | Rachel the replicant from Bladerunner might be nice, but that's a bit passe.
Now.... a Caprica 6 or a D'Anna, those are keepers.
A spine that glows red during sex....... bonus
The urge to wipe-out humanity....... a minor glitch that I could overlook. | |

A machine can't have a penis. It can have a penis-shaped part, but that's not a penis. | |
