Yeah, finding people for companionship really isn't hard enough to justify expensive light shows. If you're too coward to approach a partner, you don't deserve companionship.

From the FAQ:

"A smartphone is necessary in order to be able to configure Gatebox's settings"

In an abstract sort of way, just like a real relationship?!

Google should integrate something like this with google home.

The problem with Google home is it has no personality. Unlike Siri or Alexa, saying "OK Google" makes it sound like you are talking to a corporation (which you are).

I'm not saying it should go full anime, but a little personality helps. I can't see why they can't let us choose the name ourselves.

Yeah, you seem to live in a teen movie. People get together, regardless if you do or not.

Yeah like in Japan where 40% people (under the age of 40 or so I believe) don't date at all.

Not everyone will date a supermodel. Realize your potential. You're not going to be knocking homers every game, but a hit is a hit.

Not everyone will date during their life. Some people have essentially 0 potential for anyone. (speaking as one such person)

I mean there are a million reasons someone might have difficult approaching someone, whether it be anxiety, depression, a broken sense of self worth caused by a society that forces ideal body images on you.

But no, it's just because "our" standards are too high amirite?

Implying it's because they're too "coward" to approach someone is kind of sad.

No price is too high for my waifu.

But can you handle the knowledge that your waifu would essentially be everyone else's waifu?

Is is due inability or lack of trying? Women in Japan seem to be doing better, so it's not for a lack of partners.

It's about confidence. I'm sure you've judged your share of 'mismatched' couples. I am saddled with a very ugly past, am overweight, and no end in mental conditions that make becoming intimate a very difficult and scary endeavour. But I still meet people. You know what breeds confidence? Success. You know what breeds success? Trying. Start with non judgemental meetings, work out your social skills, and take it from there. And don't think for a second a relationship is endgame, it's just the beginning,

I've addressed this already in this post. I'm a walking bag of issues. But then, who isn't? People need to divorce themselves from the idea that a relationship is perfect inertia, and only the stars can align and make kismet happen. Relationships aren't some perfect movie like construct. They're messy, they're a lot of work, and also can be a lot of pain. But people make the effort regardless. Stop sitting around like a manic pixie dream girl will waltz into your life and take the reins.

Both, I think.

It is about more than confidence. I used to be very confident, although that was slowly drained of me. There is a minimum bar for looks, believe me.

There's always attraction involved, but don't let that stop you from building chemistry. Of course, sex isn't a matter of inserting 'nice' tokens into a machine, but if you don't try, there's no ground to stand on. I'm far from a good looking guy, but sometimes willing and able is good enough.

I have tried already many times. Failed each time, usually harshly. I'm done trying, and you'd agree if you knew me.

You only stop trying when you don't want it anymore. Courtship is a dance, if you're the only one leading, it's obvious it's a game for one. Don't jump the gun, read cues with more attention, and don't lift your hopes up until you know for sure the other person put in as much as you did. And don't let anyone tell you that a relationship can't fix a broken soul, it's the greatest chicken soup there is, It's a matter of not falling too deep in the dependency hole.

You guys should check out the website, it's pretty amazing.

If she's good for people who live alone, I'm wondering if they have characters planned for making your roommates jealous, or adding a third to your marriage.

There's totally gonna be a dominatrix isn't there?

So, when will they start adding characters from other existing IPs? I'm not digging this one, but I wouldn't mind having Big Boss...

I found the advert was a bit cringe-worthy when the dude was like, working late, on my way home, 5 minutes from home, nearly home, just round the corner etc.

I mean WTF?
