A jerk to me is any man who thinks that his possession of a penis makes him an authority on what I should or should not be thinking, doing, and/or wearing. There are elaborations on that, but at bottom, that’s the criterion.

As I look back on my love life, I see poor guys, rich guys, younger guys, older guys, guys with more melanin in their skin, guys who had PhDs, and guys who were high school grads. What they had in common was they genuinely liked me, and spent exactly no time pontificating about women or feeling sorry for themselves. Because if they did those things, I wasn’t interested.

(Edited to add - I’m 70 and I was a foot soldier in the sexual revolution.)
I am sorry you have to deal with such jerks, the reason most men get overly cocky is because I imagine most men are not teached from birth how to balance or just use their confidence and other traits that allow them to have opportunities in life in a not so unhealthy way, most men use weaker and vulnerable people including the disabled, the elderly and the injured on ways to take their fustrations, I did not include women in the group because we already are talking about them here of course.

They should tell their children to pursue the lesser careers, that will give them less financial security?


I think that many women would be happy about these sex robots. Men need sex, if they're getting it from a robot, it lessens the chances that they need to harass (or worse) women for some. Of course, prostitutes are against it, that's direct competition to their business. If these sex robots were already prevalent, we might not have had these recent incel mass murderers.
That's why I will not make fun of those who use the robots. You're fulfilling a need, and bringing yourself happiness in a way that doesn't effect anybody else negatively. It's a fantastic thing.

**** away my friend, **** away.

Incels don't want prostitutes so they wouldn't care about dolls. They want real women to be attracted to them and to want to have sex with them. Some even want real relationships and families. Incel is more psychological than physical.

Why stop rooting for anyone to go into stem fields? This country is falling behind internationally on stem grads both male and female.

She is also working on an aviation engineering degree (a STEM field), smart girl.

What qualifies as harassment?

Edited that one part out of the post.

They're just plain funny, and I have seen nothing that indicates anyone is 'freaked out' about it.
Do you also laugh at gays, lesbians, trans-whatevers, etc? Just because something is different from your norm, it doesn't mean you have to laugh at it. That's called insecurity.

No one really cares how bitter, angry men masturbate. Truly.
How do you know they are bitter and angry?

That you have brought that up twice (and probably more) suggests that you are attacking these individuals for some reason. Perhaps a doll-bopper has done something to you personally? If not, why the sour grapes?

What kind of issues? He wants to have an orgasm like a pot-smoker wants to get high. An orgasm is a form of "natural high." Chemicals are released that give a sense of pleasure and euphoria, just like a recreational drug. I don't see someone wanting that "high" as having issues if they feel they don't need to risk pregnancy, VD, divorce, settlements, unwanted children, abortions, alimony, child support, divorce, etc, in order to get it.

Only a fool would risk all of that just to get high.

That depends on the person. Could be yes and could be no. Some people don't want or need the other potential "offerings," real or imagined. Some do.

Humans are designed as social animals with other humans, not false substitutes. We were also designed to bond through emotional and physical intimacy. It was a gift we were given as humans and so many are willing to throw it away like it is nothing.
This is all your opinion. Have you asked the "designer" of humans whether they were designed the way you claim they are? Unless you are coming from a religious point of view, we have no designer. So I guess we design ourselves however we feel we want to be designed.

As far as your comment about being given a "gift," it may be a gift to you. But it is not to everyone. Some people do not have the time, patience, or desire to be in a relationship. It brings nothing useful or desirable into their lives. Yet, as most humans, they do have a sex drive and like to get "high" on it as much as the next person. Very few people are true celibates and happy being so.

Generally speaking, these sex dolls are for people who--

1) do not want to risk all of the things that could go wrong with random sex.

2) do not want the burden or responsibility of a committed, long-term relationship.

3) do not have a vivid enough imagination to conger up just about any "woman" (or "man") in their minds as they pleasure themselves. It's no different than a teen tossing off to a sears catalog underwear section. It's no big deal. If someone has the big bucks to buy one of these realdolls, good for him. It's cheaper than a divorce.

I am going to go out on a limb here. One of the driving factors behind the whole incel thing seems to be the idea that there are huge numbers of men who can't get dates, have sex, or find a partner because they aren't rich, aren't cute, aren't popular, whatever.

Guess what? I have seen lots of men who were less than perfect have all of those things: ugly men, short men, fat men, poor men, you name it. The big difference was twofold. For one thing, those men genuinely liked women, and for another, they didn't dismiss as a potential date, spouse, or sex partner any woman who didn't have her own high-powered career and the looks of a cheerleader.

tamajane, please know that my mini-rant is not directed at you. It is attached to your quote because your observation about the psychology in play was such a good jumping-off point.
