Think about what has happened in the last 30 years to culture and human interaction levels in most industrialized societies. Think how hard it would have been to even imagine what life for a teenager looked like in 2025.

Now imagine 30 more years of this and what dating will look like.

People tell themselves sweet lies about the real people they love as it is.

And sometimes those people you’ve lied to yourself about reveal themselves as not really caring much for you.

As sad as it is, yes, I think a lot of lonely people would pay a premium to avoid having to search for that person who accepted them for their flaws, especially since this partner will not also demand any growth on the part of their human. Most partners also want personal growth and forward movement in life, while a “perfect partner” won’t ask for anything in return but will always have new hot “skins” for a low price in their store. In fact, that’s probably where the conniving shit would come in, because why promote healthy personal growth when you can promote addiction that makes you money?

Rejection and personal growth is hard, and this company is essentially selling a way out of that. (Not to imply those are the only reasons people pursue this, I just see a lot of people who would rather avoid any real responsibility to anyone else but still feel loved. I’m sure there’s some broken, lonely people who really need something like this in a good way, in a non-exploitative way.)

Aw man, the six-figure salary alpha dude bros are still going to be the only ones getting girls because they’re the only ones who can afford multiple subscriptions.
