Soon We'll All Be Having Sex With Robots, Maybe: Scientist
“Robotic sex partners will become commonplace, although the source of scorn and division, the way that critics today bemoan selfies as an indicator of all that’s wrong with the world.”
If the writer didn't go to Princeton, then it's his own damn fault, because if he did, he'd be a Princeton man and therefore have many quality Princeton women to choose from.
The logic is umm, watertight. (Real) men should be having sex with the woman they're in their straight relationship with. And if they want to 'cheat' then they should be a man and break up. Author talks about not treating women as objects, and then acts as if a woman has no volition. Clearly if the man wants sex with his lady she will want him back.
First problem is that of the long-term relationship with what becomes a libido mismatch. How many letters has Savage gotten about people that got rounded up to the One, but there are sex issues? Lots. Is it really more 'manly' to divorce and wreck a family than to get your needs met discretely elsewhere? Savage would say, and has repeatedly said, do what you gotta do to stay sane and in your LTR if it's worth staying for.
Paraphrase: All you bastard little boys, spoiling it for real men like me. Jeezus, this guy sounds exactly like Elliot Rodger.
How one person can write the two phrases, "Why go out to find tail when you can have it delivered? Real men understand that women aren’t objects" immediately adjacent yet apparently entirely sincere and without irony, is mind-boggling. It's like there are two separate entities controlling his writing arm. Demonic possession, maybe?
The thing is, in my opinion, men are often controlled by their instincts and biology. And conformity to some ideal by somebody else is usually just a front, a cover they can claim to get away with- whatever. I have seen this many times. I've had family members who claimed to be righteous, Christian husbands, chaste and "real" men, who frequented sex workers on the sly.
I don't mind a guy having thoughts like that in his own head, but the minute he commits them to public scrutiny, he becomes a whinyass creep. My idea of a good date is not going to a pity party.
He just put a bit more polish on the typical nice guy syndrome talking points - I haven't/won't cheat so therefore I deserve a relationship and a cookie.
If the only thing redeeming about yourself is that you won't cheat, you're not that great of a catch.
@8 Yes, that's true. I guess my point is that people are human and humans are animals. And if we all could control our instincts, they wouldn't be instincts. They'd be brunch.
@6 - after his third date with a beautiful girl that he bought roses, chocolates and plastered innuendo her facebook wall, she told him she wasn't ready for a relationship. He asked why, first in person, then over text, through her friends, and rather than tell him she wasn't into him, made up some simplistic but believable excuse that she wasn't ready for a relationship because she has "trust" issue.
There is no such thing as a 'real' man any more that there is a 'real' woman. Women, and culture at large, can't let go of the bad-boy night-in-shining armor expectation of men.
Really, and women are sugar and spice and everything nice. Ha! They dropped the femme fatale barefoot-and-pregnant image long ago. Now they are just Boobs to the guys. Oh, and nags.
@10: Reminds me of the asshole AMERIKUH FIRST rightwingers who believe of we're anything better than ISIS and Nazi Germany, Americans have no complaints or ability to criticize or improve.
Did anyone else notice that, while he says he has never cheated on a woman (because if you do, you will never, ever get her trust back), but then says (again, after stating you can never get a woman's trust back) he learned this lesson the hard way? Something is not right here...
What a sweet sweet man. And a start up miner too? Maybe a rich, fuck the earth, sweet sweet man... Really, do men need a check list on how to be good guys? Don't answer that.
Just playing with you guys, men get such a bad rap, eh?
There are some arsewipes around, to be sure.. Men and Women. But writing and needing a checklist, as this tosser has done, just means he's not really in himself, a cardboard cut out. - and that's probably why he was dumped.
Dear lord I read that whole thing. All I could think was how mind-bendingly awful it would be to end up cornered at a party by this guy (likely because of some awkward social obligation - roommate's cousin or some such). He must hear some variant of "It's not you! It's me!" from women every. day.
What a silly goose. Real men can split lumber with their piss. Real men chew Sullivan Brand Tobaccos. Real men never waver when the Kaiser's men come over the rise!
Hmm, the author says he learned "the hard way" how not to behave. By his own definitions, then, he was not a real man at that juncture. I wonder when he gained his mature insight?
After reading through a few of their articles, I think daily elite.com should renegotiate for a more realistic name. Perhaps ''constantlywhining.com or 'alwaysbitchy.net.'

I was too curious and had to read the screed.

He left an 86 cent tip when he paid for their $21.14 romantic dinner.
As I was reading I realized that gay people don't exist in his universe.

Of course back in the late 70s the ratio was 3:1

Well, at least it's nice to see a good reason why we don't have Heterocentric February.
Oh yeah...he's:
"A young writer, philosopher, and entrepreneur" AND has a mining startup in Turkey? Would that be a beefsteak mine by any chance?
And how did HIS girlfriend dump him because of the cheating behavior of some other guys? Smug, shallow twit.
He's the kind of jerk who's wrecking everything for all us REAL nice guys.

But, he learned it the hard way.
Probably Bitcoins.
@31: "Yech. I'm lost in a dizzying salad of cliches. Who have him a writing job? "
That's exactly what got him his job, I imagine.
"But honey, it was only sexting! That's all. Not like your last boyfriend who cheated on you for real. I'm not like that at all!"
Yep, that's my guess.
I wonder if he made enough from his Bitcoin mining to pay off his fedora.
