Wow. That is sooo lame. I mean, maybe if you could do little "virtual jobs" to make money for presents for her, but REAL MONEY? Just to make a fake girl like you who can't even sleep with you?!?! Oh man, you have to be lonely for this one!

Nope, not lonely. The word should be desperate.

It would be fun to have one if it didn't use real money, something
like a tamagotchi. But this.....


And what about this?

Depends how much money it costs! If flowers cost 1 cent to 5 cents that's fine!

Man, you can't even customize them. That is really stupid. Noone's gonna buy this thing. If you had a girl freind(a real one), would you like it if 50000 other guys had girls that look EXACTLY the same.

No one in their right mind would do that, not even the desperate ones.

OK, that's just dumb. Who's going to pay a subscription fee AND buy virtual flowers, sweets, etc. for a gf that doesn't even exist!

For that matter, who's going to pay a subscription for a real gf... Flowers + sweets, sure , but still... You get what I mean I'd rather stick with all the red slap marks on my face, thank you very much

Man, what if I don't want a virtual gf to look like a Japanese version of Lara Croft?



Anyway, that's pretty sad. Besides, they'd have to research a lot of new techology to give the guys what they really want.
