    of the 40%, 20% are just desperate; 20% are perverts, and 20% are freaks.

      Of those 40%, 100% are horny :D I don't really see the issue though. People, especially women, use all kinds of toys, so why not a human-looking (and human-behaving!) toy? Some well-trained AI is certain to hit that spot. And while an advanced sex robot is probably pretty expensive, it's probably still cheaper than the real deal in the long run :laugh:

                      Perhaps you can't see the difference because you've never been part of a good, strong marriage. Believe you me, it is much more than a mere sexual relationship. While I grant you the possibility of developing robots ("male" or "female") that are extremely good in bed, I doubt you could ever develop with them the bonds of affection, loyalty, and, yes, love that you have in a good marriage that has lasted for decades.

                            We'll just have to agree to disagree on that. :) Note that I was not necessarily referring to a religious marriage; even a civil marriage presents some impediment to just getting up and walking out when things get tough (as they almost always do at some stage), and therefore encourages you to stay and work things out. It's also a good excuse for one hell of a party! :-D

                                  It encourages you to stay in an unhappy position, which can result in feelings of desperation (especially when money is involved) and even violence. In the Netherlands, over 50% of marriages end in divorce. Besides, why wouldn't you want people to walk away when they're clearly not into each other anymore? I'd rather be happy alone than unhappy together. Maybe being happy together is even better, but there's no need to get married for that. I'd say the impediment is about at big when you're just living together, you have shared stuff, like maybe the house, the car, maybe children or a dog, you'd still have to tell all your relatives, get things sorted out with the government (you can't just live together and then don't)... You can share a life without getting married.

                                    It encourages you to stay in an unhappy position, which can result in feelings of desperation (especially when money is involved) and even violence. In the Netherlands, over 50% of marriages end in divorce. Besides, why wouldn't you want people to walk away when they're clearly not into each other anymore? I'd rather be happy alone than unhappy together. Maybe being happy together is even better, but there's no need to get married for that. I'd say the impediment is about at big when you're just living together, you have shared stuff, like maybe the house, the car, maybe children or a dog, you'd still have to tell all your relatives, get things sorted out with the government (you can't just live together and then don't)... You can share a life without getting married.

                                    FTFY :laugh: Cake: $10 Wedding cake: $100 Dress: $100 Wedding dress: $1.000 Invitation: $1 a piece Wedding invitation: $10 a piece etc. ;) Plus a lot of guests are only invited because it's kind of a social obligation. I'd much rather have a party with some close friends where I'm also not the center of attention. All in all, I do not want to get married.

                                    As I said above, we'll just have to agree to disagree. :)

                                      I won't stop until you're happily divorced :laugh: Mine is an unpopular opinion though, especially among women*. Pair that with my wish not to have children ever** and you know why I'm still single... :sigh: * When the right woman comes along and she wants to get married I'd probably do it, but always prenup. ** This one's not up for debate.
