ryoder 1,590 #26 November 13, 2009 Quote Quote Quote Ever read the book Do androids dream of electric sheep? By Philip K. Dick? I'm saving up to buy a real sheep, hopefully before the neighbors catch on that the current one is electric. Did you just make a post about an electric sheep or did I just dream that? If you've never read the book, I can understand how strange that would sound."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

BillyVance 34 #27 November 13, 2009 Quote In 'The Seventh Day', Arnold Schwarzenneger's buddy had a virtual girlfriend who was incredible. Arnold's character blamed the virtual girl for the guy's lack of a social life. I haven't seen the cost of divorce episod of Boston Legal. I'm thinking I need to purchase the series on DVD. You could check Hulu.com to see if they have full episodes available for online viewing, while it's still free. Rumor is that next year they will require a fee."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krip 2 #28 November 13, 2009 Hi ""$5,000 for a plastic woman? Really!? Why not just buy a 12 pack of your fav beer? 12 pack of beer, a little internet porn, and you cam make your own happy ending!"" I think your forgetting the life cycle cost analysis. If the nice plastic lady/man lasts 5-10 yr's and only costs $5k your only taking a one time hit in the pocket. If your joe/mary six pack every night/weekend Drink green bottles you could be spending $10k on beer over 5 yr's. OTOH you could pimp out your plastic lady/man or just resell him/her on Craigs list. Might even be able to rig the plastic person to make sheep or cow noises One Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davjohns 1 #29 November 13, 2009 You could definitely justify it on a cost basis. That would presume that you found the fake roughly equivalent to the real thing in purely sexual terms. I would hope that the things that go with a real woman would weigh in and make the doll a non-viable alternative.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say $5000 is nothing compared to that for a lot of guys.

1969912 0 #32 November 14, 2009 Quote Havent seen the HBO show, but the BBC made a docu a couple years ago on the subject. One guy had 4 or 5 of these dolls. Even made little parties for them. He also had a girlfriend, and when he told her, it was quite the awkward situation. The BBC docu might be a film called "A Perfect Fake." It's available as a torrent. Fascinating and sometimes really funny. Well worth watching.

Hi W Depends on what you want to use it for.If you just want someone to talk to. You can pick up a well used clothing store dummy. dirt cheap I bought one at a garage sale. It wasn't complete the bottom half was missing as were the arms and she had a big hole in the back of her head.We took her/it to work with us and she was sitting in the visitors chair next to my desk. We put a wig on here to civerup the hole in her head and probably covered up her top half with a shirt or sweater or somethingThe only person that ever said anything memorable about my friend was the cleaning lady who told me one night when the lights were turned down low and she came around the corner and saw someone sitting at my desk it startled her. The cleaning lady wasn't complaing she was actually .One Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
