I got myself a fake girl friend

It also makes me wonder where the path of fake girlfriends on FB might lead. After getting so much of this type of attention, does it lead to a broader fantasy world down the road? Does it keep men in a safe place long enough that they eventually develop a fear of interacting with the real world and eventually end up cutting themselves off from it totally for fear of rejection??!!

It does seem that way doesn't it. The thing is, you try to tell people who have fake girlfriends and such all this and they'll likely tell you to quit taking things so seriously. That it's all for fun.

I might get some flack for this, but it's kind of the same with gamers. Hear me out. Back before it was as popular as it is now gaming was just that, a fun hobby. A game. Now you can buy and sell, with real money, online real estate and people. Things that aren't real in the "real" world. Alot of these games have online communities of players who interact with each other through PM's and cameras so they get together and socialize. Some even get to know each other well enough to where they meet up in person and sometimes even get married. And it works out just as well as meeting someone in person initially.

Now, if this Facebook fad leads in that direction, to where your fake girlfriend can give you a reputation that leads to a real one, I don't see the problem. But something tells me it just won't happen that way. The difference I think is that with gaming you're building a relationship with a real person. They may be online, but they are real. With the Facebook thing you're not dealing with a person in a real relationship. You're dealing with them but not really. It's like buying a hooker. Sure, you're having sex, you're getting bragging rights, but if you have to pay for it up front it's less personal and more business.

I better stop while I'm ahead because building a personal relationship through business happens all the time. It happens through Facebook too, it's just that I don't see the point in having to "buy" someone to be your friend so you can eventually make friends with someone else.

I know the importance of having someone in the middle helping out, I really do and it's much appreciated, but.........buying a friend.

I'm with you. I don't see the FB girlfriend leading in the right direction.

Even if it strikes up some kind of attraction causing another female FB friend to pursue you, how much will you end up lying about your fake relationship before you get caught in your own lies? It's bound to happen. Every female wants the dirty details on your past relationships and break ups! LOL! The best way to find out how the next relationship is going to go is based on what's happened in the past!

Why does it always have to be the guys that are portrayed as desperate?You know there are girls too who can't find a boyfriend or always fall for the wrong guy,or just have zero life experience.I have a friend,she is cute,nice person,educated,has a job,but has been in only one relationship in her life,and since he broke up with her she can't seem to find someone,and at times sounds really desperate,when in fact she just has the wrong attitude toward men.My point is it can never be that bad,for men or women to find someone,you just have to leave your safe zone and consider options that you have not considered before.

I would rather be alone then have this sitting on my conscience.

I find it weak, repulsive and pathetic, personally.

where do those needs come from? I don't have them.

What are your guys thoughts on this?

I think some people have to much time on there hands. Besides whats the point of getting a fake girl friend, or making one up on the internet. there is like no point in it at all.

Especially since if she is fake then she cant make sandwiches, and if she cant do that...Whats the point of having a girlfriend to begin with anyways, you know other then the less important things involved.

You might as well just make your own sandwiches then.

Oh yes something is going on, possibly a world wide conspiracy.

I dont see whats the problem....itÄs a vitimless hobby....who cares

Well, she could post messages on your Facebook saying "Hope you like the sandwiches I made for your lunch." Then they other guys at work wouldn't look down on you for bring PB&J sandwiches to work every day. Just think of the street cred you would have if your buddies thought that you had a girlfriend making sandwiches for you. You'd still be a nerd but an upper class nerd for sure.

You make a good point, one can only hope to be so lucky as to get a peanut butter& Jelly sandwich.

And if one can only hope that, then this thing is bagged and tagged, it's not a conspiracy, it's just a waiting game for it to go full blown. Reasons why, I know them. But there so crazy that they are not viable definitely not norm, watch and see as you will see.

Do you know bro, that every time you look in the mirror as the years pass to yourself you never change, slowly boiling in the moment by moment, but if you could see it all from periods to periods, you would see different things then the moment can ever show you.

That makes no sense whatsoever dude69. Unless your not a dude nor a 69, it's confusing to say the least.

I always make my own sandwiches. Really who would in there right mind trust girls to make one for them, and even if they did, by the time they bring it to you. It will probably be half eaten and have there saliva and germs all over it. Then you ask..What the hell, were's the rest of my sandwich...And they will probably say something along the lines of....Got hungry on the way to you, but look there's still some cheese left.

Basically what I am trying to say is absolutely nothing. Just trying to fit in with all the other people on this site who seem to do that a lot.

Some closed minded criticism around here. Some people have sexual fetishes omg call the moral police. Maybe an online fake gf or bf is not gonna harm anyone. Maybe let people live they way they like as long as its not criminal? Maybe its like ive read...."thou doth protesteth much"Live a little, get a spanking from the one you love!

Whatever happened to just surfing porn sites in the privacy of your own bedroom?

A fake girlfriend? Really? Just stick with Rosy Palm and her sisters if you're that hard up...


*goes back to eating the delicious sandwich his wife made for him*

I'm all for fetishes. However, this kind of thing could lead to a real detachment from reality, where one starts believing their own virtual world, so folks need to check themselves occasionally, if they're going to do this. Just like online gaming can sometimes consume people and end real life relationships, jobs, etc. Most fetishes are simply enjoyed in small doses. This is different, as it could be everyday, and lead to an obsession.

D: Lawdy lawd. What is the world coming to?
