Japan Makes Robot Girlfriend For Lonely Men. That’s the actual headline. I’m afraid that the article is going to be anticlimactic after reading the headline.

I think I was born 30 years too early. Because soon women will become obsolete, except as breeding containers - or as a reminder for why it's worth $3000 for a robot girlfriend. They should make it open source, so someone could reprogram them to bitch and complain and withdraw money from your bank account...in case anyone needs that experience.

I think any sensible person today would look for marriage material in a foreign born bride, rather than the denizens of Feministing or Sex in the City groupies.
In an open market place those women would be only able to get the most omega.

It's only 15 inches tall. That says something about either the psychology of Japanese omega males, or of Japanese toymakers.

Sure, she's only 15 inches tall--when you buy her. But if you take good care of her, she tends to grow on you.
