Hee hee! Where are all the good aliens?

Flirty is OK Eugene. And the tentacle fetish has it's own website. I think Rule 34 is involved.

I know I complain about the aggressive sex chatters too much. It didn't used to bother me, but over time it has sort of gotten to me, like "Chinese" water torture, drip after drip after drip. I am not against flirty humor nor do I think I am oversensitive. Even raunchy humor is OK as long as they have some boundaries and it 's not too personal. I probably attract a certain level or personal attacks by complaining, so it is a viscous cycle.

In the "What I want for Christmas" department, someone in Canada is already building a companion bot "spouse" like what I described:

Unfortunately, he made her female, but she cooks and cleans and helps him with other tasks. I'll bet she can even open a pickle jar and clean the gutters. I could always cut her hair short, dress her in a suit and call her Jeeves. The voice can't be that hard to hack and there are plenty of male voices to use. My robot butler is almost a reality! Whoo hoo!

All over the place.

alien with multiple eyes and tentacles flirting with a human female too amusing for him not to do it. HEY, I love Fizzy, and multiple eyes can be very provocative. I would marry him if I could find enough camels. I have had some very fun conversions with Fizzy.

someone in Canada That`s what happens if you spend too much time alone in the cold, with too much beer. I love the fact that they report the failures as
Might short-circuit while doing the dishes;

Could hack into your email and text messages;

Would have very long memory and endless stamina for shopping.

lol, From his perspective it's supposed to be mostly a joke because he knows he can't have a serious relationship with someone from such a different species. Also, I intentionally don't make use of the gender tags a lot of the time because he has trouble telling which is which with humans.

Prob, yeah the people on /. dissed the bot as a "real doll" with a voice box, so I won't get a butler, and your man up north has no need to worry about his email security. bummer.

Eugene some humans get confused too. Fizzy is a heart breaker.

I won't get a butler It's funny, I have loved robots for as long as I can remember. I used to make ones as a kid with aluminum foil and oatmeal boxes. I find it funny that men seem to want cute little girl bots, and women don't seem to mind they have multiple eyes and tentacles. It almost seems like Stepford Wives meet Beauty and the Beast

Bev, I sent you a mail and hope you got it.
Actually, this bot _is_ (on its foundation) a spiced up Real Doll - but so are many projects that try to get an android running. They just seem to provide a good basis for such robots.

prob123, I as a man have no problem with a robot that doesn't look human. But often enough the look of a human face (and human body) ease verbal communication with such entities. Or would you consider it "easy" and "normal" to talk to some sort of trashcan (aka R2D2)?

Well, I hope Santa brings us all the bot of our dreams. I actually found the web cam for Santa's workshop.

What makes talking to a Star Wars astromech hard isn't the lack of a face so much as the fact that they can't speak Basic.
