Imagine we live in a time where you could design your perfect mate - from personal quirks (maybe she's got an adorable giggle or his eyes wrinkle when he smiles) to facial features, body type - everything down to the last detail. Of course, this also includes personality, sexuality, interests, hobbies - the perfect partner.
Downside: he/she is a robot - an amazingly lifelike robot, but still at heart - well, she/he has no heart. You get my drift.
A. Would you do it? Would you take a robot SO?
OH HELL NO.
That would just take away the magic-and the challenge.

Posted: 10/28/2009 4:17:27 PM | Given the fake boob/facelift/multi-layered makeup/perfume/coiffed hair/polished nails/extended eyelash/lyposuction/skin cream gal of today, might an android actually be less artificial? And if a female android is filled with artificial intelligence, I'm not seeing the difference.
(Just kidding, ladies. Love ya all to death. Well, most of you anyway.) | |

Screw the droid, let's just think about the concept of female + AI for a minute... You may have come across the equivalent of Viagra here! | |

Aaah but see you dont love your robot. You'll only *think* you do.
You only "love" what the robot is giving you
Its purely selfishly driven ie. what I want and what makes ME happy.
You mean, like,
He'll email me, he'll pursue me, he'll call me, he'll ask me out, open doors for me, pull out chairs for me, buy me dinner, buy me flowers, he'll wait for me to have sex, he'll commit to me, he'll lift heavy stuff for me, protect me, provide for me, buy me flowers, marry me, never leave me?
Kinda like that? 
I'd have to say no... I think having a partner that was completely subservient would be boring...
Boring, huh?
Ya, well, being a doormat doesn't sound like so much fun either...
OH HELL NO.
That would just take away the magic-and the challenge.
I get it. "The magic" is a euphemism for "conflict".
Without it, it would be boring, huh?
I was thinking though. If you add an unpredictibility factor, your droid could leave you or abuse you. Or could even this be controlled?
You mean, program it to be more like a man?
Probably the most famous is Ovid's Pygmalion (who sculpts a female statue that is so beautiful that he falls in love with it, and after praying to Venus, the goddess takes pity on him and converts the statue into a real woman with whom he has children).
That's virtually possible right now.
With the current science, and if the laws would allow it, we could probably be cloning Megan Fox right at this moment.
What was the question again?
Searching for happiness online, vs other alternatives?.....
Let me think about it....
Ok, I'm done.
I'm open to other options...

Posted: 10/28/2009 5:14:29 PM | Just wondering - would a blonde female sexbot be dumber than other female sexbots?
Verity - I think you need to call Atari. It seems your programming needs an update.
Instead of 'droids, perhaps the more realistic answer is nano-sexbots running around inside poking around and prodding just the right nerves in just the right order. Might get a little embarrassing, though, if they got out of control and you just started having random orgasms walking down the street, at work, during parent/teacher interviews.
Then again, I'm sure that were such things available, there would be a steady rush of people to have them installed. Everywhere you went, there'd be people going off in the middle of whatever they're doing.
I would hate to be a major league batter when some fireballer's bots kick into action just as he releases the ball. I'm thinking that we'd better invent self-driving cars before we develop nano-sexbots. | |

See, verity, you know what it's about. Now if Atari (haha..DBB) can do a few adjustments on you, you'd be the perfect robot. You'd be in demand like Elmo was a few years ago. People waited months to have him. Women would wait months for you. Now...do robots have egos? | |

Say wha?... Men do that...? oh oh ... we're talking fantasy riiiiiiiight
Do YOU do all those things verity?
You could be my template of animatronic ManBot lurve baby
If you add mowing lawns into the mix that is...
Megan Fox eh? how about Manu Feildel?
Id give up my kitchen for him anyday... perfect partner or not...

Had I meant "conflict", I would have SAID 'conflict'.
I meant "magic' as in seeing that chemistry which is real love, developing and growing, and the challenge of nurturing that growth and development. There might BE some conflict here or there, and the challenge would be USING that conflict to strengthen the relationship.
He'll email me, he'll pursue me, he'll call me, he'll ask me out, open doors for me, pull out chairs for me, buy me dinner, buy me flowers, he'll wait for me to have sex, he'll commit to me, he'll lift heavy stuff for me, protect me, provide for me, buy me flowers, marry me, never leave me?
Do you really think women are just all about securing a servant? Do most men really think this?
I'm very much OPEN to the idea of finding a 2nd love of my life, but I damn sure ain't holding my breath for it. Of course, I'm equally at fault for having standards about getting closely involved with a man unless there is mutual trust, respect and LOVE.
I can provide for myself,protect myself, and I don't WANT to get married or live with somebody. Some of the stuff mentioned is just plain oldfashioned MANNERS, nice but not a deal maker or breaker. Lift heavy stuff? HELP might be nice, but I believe in working TOGETHER on things.
Please understand, I don't see men's damage as entirely their fault. I place a lot of blame on entitlement princess b*tches who've broken their hearts and spirits. But I'm looking for a lover and companion who is already reasonably well adjusted/re adjusted. I'm not looking for a humpty dumpty man who needs put back together. If that means I get to live solo the rest of my life, that is certainly a more appetizing prospect than having a relationship with a guy who is forever ready to bolt because he's terrified that his weiner and/or his wallet are in danger.
No, the last thing I want is a male slave or doormat. I want a man with enough backbone to BE a good man, not some whinyass jerk looking for women to take out his bitterness and resentment on. I refuse to believe that they don't exist,or even that they are all that scarce.
Robot lover?
No thanks.

Posted: 10/28/2009 6:45:41 PM | My ex was a Robot lover. I can get you a deal on her.
I think she was malfunctioning quite a bit... I tried to replace her hard drive, but she wasn't willing to take a floppy in replacement | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 7:58:45 PM | I can see the spin-off thread: Help! I'm in Love With My SexBot, But Stuck in the Friends Zone.
They should include little icons of people chanting "Jerry! Jerry!"
If your robot in whatever the roboloo equivalent is takes with him a copy of Popular Science and leaves it there and his owner discovers it, will she then accuse him of cheating?
EDIT TO ADD: I can imagine the movie: RoboCock with the catch phrase: The Future of Sex Enforcement | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 10:10:14 PM | | NO....I prefer to have a nice warm body with a real heart beside me when it's time to go to sleep at night and besides I don't think I could kiss a robot on the forehead while it was turned off as opposed to a gorgeous woman who was actually sleeping . | |

Imagine we live in a time where you could design your perfect mate
Since I have never had a “Type” it would be impossible for me to conjure up a mate.
Downside: he/she is a robot - an amazingly lifelike robot, but still at heart - well, she/he has no heart.
That’s what it is all about for me; yes, he needs some basic physical attractiveness but after that it is his finer qualities, his passion, his heart, his mind, his soul that captures my heart.
However, I would definitely take one for massages, cooking……… | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 1:11:28 AM | | Ok, but if we had a male robot lover we'd have to name is parts? What would we name the main vein or wire, so to speak? HMMMM, ponders.... I would name his main wire- (Of course if would glow as well, when enlightened) Live wire. I'd say "Baby we've got a live wire on our hands". | |

lol ..
and for you guys - there's always 7 of 9 .. and Don't tell me you wouldn't!!! | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 4:17:45 AM | | I'd do it in a heart beat, while much of what she would be like could be adjusted to the biggest thing is that she wouldn't know everything and have the need to tell me how I am always wrong. | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 6:50:16 AM | A female robot? Would that mean she was programmed and unable to vary from the program? Now that would be something for which to be grateful to modern science: a woman with consistency!

The glint in her eyes when Data told her was nothing compared to the glint in them after she and Data did the “Orbital Bee-Bop”!!
Make it so, Number One. Make it so “so” that I won’t be able to touch it with a powder puff!!  | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 7:12:05 AM | Ah another Robot thread... Always a fun topic.
One way or another, the technology is going to get there, and when that time comes, each individual will have a choice to make. It will become a lifestyle choice like any other, as there are as many vices and methods of escapism as there are people. My policy is - so long as they're not hurting anyone else, who cares? 
Personally I wish we could scientifically prove/disprove the existence of the soul, and if it does exist, at which point in the human life cycle it is "conceived", so that we can finally settle the ethical issue on cloning, as I'd much prefer to grow my own "fantasy female companion" Brave New World - style and have done with it, but only if we can settle the defining lines around the issues of sentience, spirituality and slavery.
Then the clones could be attributed "pet status" so long as it could be proved that there was clearly significant deviation from "normal humans" and the morality issue would be the same as any other pet owner - you would be responsible for the care of your pet, and liable for any abuse/neglect on your part or damage it causes. Aside from that, what you did with it was up to you.
Personally-speaking though, I think mankind has a long way to go learning to discipline and master OURSELVES before we're ready to be given dominion over ANYTHING.   | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 7:30:09 AM | | Given that that level of computation (assuming that it could ever be miniaturized to the point that it could be included in a human-sized skull or even elsewhere in a humanoid body - rather unlikely for a long, long time, if at all) necessary for such a bot could only be designed by computers and bots themselves due to the nature of the job, we could never be 100% certain of how the bots would respond at any given time. Indeed, no matter how well the job was done, the inescapability of the uncertainty principle (and yes, that is a valid scientific law, not just the figment of a sci-fi writer's imagination) demands a degree of unpredictability. | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 7:47:07 AM | | Nah, it would bore me to tears. I get off on someone with independent thought and bodies and minds that react to any number of things in any number of ways. A robot would be like watching the same movie over and over. | |
