Over on the MGTOW subreddit, the regulars are daydreaming about sexbots. And they can’t seem to decide what excites them more: the prospect of endless on-demand sex with robot super-hotties — or ruining the lives of non-robotic women who won’t be able to compete with the aforementioned robot super-hotties.
It’s really kind of adorable.
Let’s let the MGTOW Nostradamus who calls himself EnterPseudonym explain how it’s all going to go down when the sexbot revolution arrives at last.
Men will be ecstatic to finally have something they can put their penis into that doesn’t talk:
[I]magine that sexbots are a reality. They’re not too expensive maybe $5000. With a decent job and no girl friend you could save up that money within a year. Now you only have to pay electricity to keep her running and maintenance every so often.
Just don’t get her wet! Those things are known to short out.
You don’t have to pay to take her out. You don’t have listen to her nag or bore you with dull conversations. You don’t have to deal with her emotional swings. There are no pregnancy scares.
You should probably clean her once in a while, though.
How can an average woman, who requires tens of thousands of dollars and thousands of hours in time spent to maintain the relationship, compete against a downloadable Kate Upton who requires a quarter of the maintenance time and money?
But, wait, won’t women be able to buy themselves sexbots as well?
Well, yeah, but women aren’t going to want them, because sexbots can’t provide what women really want: money.
Sexbots aren’t appealing to women because a sexbot is only good for sex and won’t actually be able to provide for a woman.
After the sexbot revolution, the world will be filled with desperate women.
Sexbots will essentially collapse the already ruined market for sex. Women will lose much of their social power, and a social switch might happen where males who haven’t chosen to use sexbots are extremely rare.
And so women will start throwing themselves at any man who will have them.
When 90% of males have dropped out of the market, the 80% of women will be competing for whatever man they can find.
Men who’d been cruelly rejected by real-life women in pre-sexbot days will suddenly find themselves in very high demand.
A former sexbot user, could get tired of his sexbot and want to settle down. He enters a market which is deprived of sperm, and now a man that was ugly, overweight, and typically undesirable before the social collapse, is now part of the top 10% of males. He has his choice with almost any woman. Any woman would choose this “undesirable” man because in fact he is desirable.
They never get tired of this fantasy, do they?
Somehow, though, I suspect that even if 90% of straight men were to take themselves off the market EnterPseudonym would still have trouble convincing women that he was much of a catch.
This is actually a modern, real concern of women in Japan. The younger men have grown up with (and in many cases, continue to use) software programs that emulate “dating” a girlfriend. But a perfect girlfriend who has needs that are easy to meet and gives rewards for meeting those needs with ease. Women there are finding it harder to find men.
Why date a real person, with real icky fleshy issues when you can date something that is perfect. add the sensation of sex to the mix and the cost goes up.
Course there is an alternative. Male Sex Bots!!! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettai_Kareshi_%28TV_Series%29)
cheerioincident:
Maybe they’ve taken Sturgeon’s Law to heart.
Are they advanced enough to say they don’t want any chips; then nick yours? 😉
I know, who would want companionship when you can have a lifeless robot instead?
Also, some of them seem to worry obsessively that all women have stds… how are these guys not worried the virus potential that these downloadable Kate Uptons have?
Remember how in the Animatrix the war between machine and man started because a sexbot murdered her owner? Mankind reacts to this act of rebellion by a Robot slave by trying to exterminate them.
That segment looks like a MGTOW distopia gone very wrong.
@sonnysombrera – you are right. I do live in London and I don’t think we have off-peak bus fares. We do however, have some bus routes used by buses with only one door. One goes by my house. And ummm really, no food after 11:30pm??? I think I’ve got Londonified. Course it wasn’t too long ago that the pubs shut at 11. The horror.
However, oyster cards would be usable on all forms of vagina public transport within Zones 1-6. Beware the hinterlands.
Back to sexbots… I don’t even like vibrators, except when I’m using one with a partner. There’s something about being in the presence of another human and being desired that makes the sexual experience, never mind living the rest of your life with someone who, is imperfect sure, but has your back.
Time spent to maintain the relationship = being a human being. I try to imagine what they think want, and I picture a woman in a glass fronted case, like a fire alarm. Break Glass in Case of Boner.
Actually, that’s probably less appalling than what they’re thinking, but I will only go so far with this.
Moggie:
I cannot describe the sound that first came from me when I read this, but I thank you for it. It startled my cat, but he forgives us both now that my mouth sounds are normal and he’s gotten belly rubs.
And then hyperinflation will occur, and it will take wheelbarrows full of women just to obtain a date.
Sex is for millionaires. Millionaires and therapists. How can the average man ever compete with that?
Off topic, but I’m just so frustrated. In the little area where I live we have three men who are seriously testing my patience.
Guy number 1 lives in the apartment below ours. He is like 75 years old (I looked him up) and controls everything in the building like a fucking hawk. We’re not allowed to move in our apartment without him complaining about the noise. He sometimes claims that he needs to get up early in the morning to work, even though I’m certain he’s been retired for a decade. Even Friday and Saturday evenings he claims he needs to be up at 5 the next morning. I’m not buying it. He also imagines noise. He sometimes rings our door way past midnight when we’ve been in bed for hours, just to tell us to keep the noise down. Arrgghhhh, what to do?
Guy number 2 we’ve nicknamed the “d’you have a lighter Guy” because he always needs a fucking lighter. He just can’t or won’t buy a lighter! And you can’t leave the apartment without bumping into him. Maybe I should stock up on like 50 lighters and just carry around in a backpack?
Guy number 3 is nicknamed “no parking Guy”. He’s usually found by the bus stop at the cul-de-sac at the end of my street, where he seems to spend most of his time complaining about all the cars and trucks that need to drop people and things off or pick people up. As soon as the tires stop rolling, he’ll start yelling “there’s no parking there! HEY! HEY HEY HEY! NO PARKING!”
So, TL;DR, I need a new apartment and/or legalized marijuana asap.
@rugby
To be fair their office is in Angel and Angel high street is buzzing after dark. I do recommend it for a good night out. There’s a Five Guys there too!
Don’t pubs shut at midnight now in London? They do elsewhere. Mind you I currently live in semi-backwater-Devon so it’s a miracle to find grub after 10pm, or even 9.
I know a lot of guys with robot fetishes. About 20%are like this guy and just want a woman they can change the settings on. Has to be a functional robot, since it needs to clean, cook, and listen to their emotional needs. About 60% are Aspies who feel they cannot relate to to others but still want relationships – I like the idea of sexbots for them to help them learn to relate.
The rest think robot role play is sexy but would always, always prefer a live human in a robot costume. Maybe a cyborg woman would be cool.
So even if we had flawless cheap sexbots, the majority of men would want human women. Even if they had prefect AI they would only be equal to biological women, not superior.
My wife has a serious desire to be a robot, in a way that I can’t quite understand.
At this point I’m trying to invent a sexbot so these guys will stop whining about it already. So far all I have is a vacuum cleaner with a wig, but I feel I’m making progress.
@ sunnysombrera
Ah, the joys of the South West. Mind you, after 15 years living in the middle of London I do prefer it in Cornwall now. Sometimes I miss London but if I fly up there I’m itching to get home after about 48 hours.
@dhag85
I have a solution! Park a car right by your apartment, fill it to the brim with lighters, when guy 2 and 3 come to investigate, sound the car horn! All three problems will cancel each other out, guaranteed.
@Moocow
Hahaha, I like it. Make a perfect storm of screaming nonsense in the yard. But I’d need to get a drivers license first. :/ Why is everything so difficult?
Hey, I don’t have to imagine that blow up dolls already exist – and they’re much cheaper!! Seriously, these sexbots seem to me like just a more advanced version of that… and will mostly likely be just as (dis)satisfying!

Hell, do you even know how many characters from video games (of all kinds of genders) I’d like to bang? I’d have a harem. (I’d totally be down for that thing from Futurama where they did the Napster spoof.)
Though, we bring up sexbots, and all I can think if is Fisto.
And when we bring up MGTOWs, all I can think about is Vault 69. Because that’d be their ideal fantasy, but they fail to realize how the logistics of that would actually work. I mean, let’s be honest: How many women out of 999 would be queer? Or how many of them would rather masturbate than sleep with someone who actively hates them?
They’d literally be the last man on the planet (or, at least, the last one that isn’t irradiated) in this scenario, and I still think they’d have to cajole the desperate. If the women didn’t smarten up and develop dildos and vibrators first, or figure out how to do the sperm cell thing, because let’s face it, that many women in a small space left to sit there until the radiation dies down would have to do something to pass the time if they were stuck with an insufferable prick.
I love that this sexbot fantasy – that men would be happy with their zombie, while women need (gasp) real interaction – exists in a world where vibrators are a thing.
I’m not sure which is more impressive – the continued assumptions re: women’s desires, or the complete lack of introspection re: the idea that a man’s sex toy must be a fully realized, but lobotomized, woman.
Ah, I see now! These MRAs just want a partner as cold and heartless as they are, thus they must create a sexbot because real people with actual emotions and breathing just confuse their alien minds.
And once they get tired of the sexbots, they can disassemble them and fly off to that planet they’ve been planning on doing.
Meanwhile, women have vibrators, jobs, and scientists figuring out ways to make sperm from bone marrow stem cells.
I don’t think anyone would miss those, what, 1000-1000000 MRAs (being generous here) out of the 7 billion and counting people on the planet if they bought sexbots or flew into the Sun. Hell, them disappearing wouldn’t even help the overpopulation, which sucks. They’re just as bad as on and off of the planet.
The MTOW ideal has already been realized

Meanwhile, well over 90% of men would, if they approached them to talk about this glorious planned Sexbot Revolution, look at them like they’d just been walking down the median of a busy highway wearing nothing but a tinfoil sheath around their dongs.
Which, come to think of it, is about as close to this kind of “revolution” as they’d actually get.
“Ah, I see now! These MRAs just want a partner as cold and heartless as they are, thus they must create a sexbot because real people with actual emotions and breathing just confuse their alien minds. ”
So, like Frankenstein’s creation, they want a scientist to create a woman similar to them? Such an evil use of science…
@Spindrift
Frankenstein’s monster actually had feelings and regrets, though, and a legitimate reason to hate people and his creator. MRAs just hate people because they don’t get their peens dipped as much as they want to.
