Because if you get a sex robot, you don't need a real girl anymore and the power of the pussy vanishes. Once the power of the pussy vanishes, you need no human being's approval anymore to live how you wanna live. As long as you "rely" on girls for sex though they will always have a tremendous power over you.
This isn't to say that you stop or avoid having sex with real girls. Just don't rely on them for it. Make them compete with your robot for your attention instead of always competing with other men for female attention. No man has ever been successful in life spending half of his brainpower chasing pussy.
Girls always want to fuck a guy more if he has a girlfriend fucking him regularly. The sex robot becomes your "girlfriend" and you send out the vibes of a guy who regularly has sex and doesn't need them for it. And it gives you the peace of mind of knowing that you don't need any girl you talk to to fuck you. You could say no and just walk away and you'll be fine. Imagine that reality.

VR porn doesn't really hold any appeal to me. I don't care much about POV porn to begin with an VR porn seems just designed to be a neater version of POV porn.
Sex robots on the other hand that look and feel just like real girls? Now that I can get behind.

You know, I surprise myself sometimes. Not too long ago I started on a project, and one day. I literally spent 24 hours working on it. Sure I ate, I took showers, and I took short breaks. But still. If I really care about something I can hyperfocus on it. It's when I don't care or don't believe my efforts will yield any results that I do nothing.

I think that the baby boomers don't realize how easy they really had it and that a lot of the advice which may have worked when you were growing up simply doesn't anymore. In the world you grew up in, pretty much anything if you legitimately put enough hours and effort in, you would see the results you wanted to see and so that has come to define the way you see the world. Work hard enough and you'll get whatever you want. My generation has had to learn though that we live in a different one. That you can put an ungodly amount of hours into something and do nothing more than run in circles. This is leaving a lot of people wondering wtf they are supposed to do and checking out because nothing they do is working.
The real lesson you end up having to learn is not to simply keep working harder at pushing a boulder that isn't budging but rather figure out if you can climb around it. Figure out where your efforts will actually yield the results you want and take that route instead.

I'm not thinking about pursuing relationships with 16-17 year old girls. The point in the beginning was that I don't see what the big deal is and that people get hysterical over the issue, which, your reaction in this thread has proven. My "namecalling" was in response to your accusations because you were clearly trying to steer things in that direction so you could make this post.
Clearly, you are getting very angry though, and I'm not going to continue discussing this with someone who's in that state of mind. For that reason, this will be my last comment.

They seem to be doing alright for themselves these days. But non-gay people sure do seem to like using outrage over it as an excuse to get offended on behalf of other people.

I haven't considered it all that relevant to me since I was 15/16 and wished that an older woman was legally allowed to drain me of my rampaging adolescent hormones. Thus why you haven't heard about it until now. When I was a virgin 15/16 year old, the amount I complained about the AOC was similar to how much I complained about fratty dudes last year. At this point, however, the only political and philosophical issue I consider myself passionate about is shocking sensitivity fags who consider another person's opinions or certain kinds of media to be worthy of getting outraged over and ridicule those who are unable to think outside of the confines of what they've been taught to accept.

Lmao at the pot calling the kettle black FLF? A troll who just trolls other trolls? Talk about pussy trolling. Doesn't take a lot of guts to go after someone other people are already going after. If you wanna score some real points and add to your resume try saying something that you know 90% of the website won't agree with. Your "trolling" is basically "oh mah god, SJG is like, so annoying right? Am I right?"

Well Britain is, besides Canada, as close to America as it gets so its not entirely surprising. Still the girl I was talking to thought it was stupid and its remarkable how much the discussion changes once you move it to the international world.
However, I see overall that this discussion is simply turning into a subtle accusation and I have no interest in continuing a philosophy debate with someone who is going to resort to such tactics.

People virtue signalling on Facebook doesn't prove anything. When I was 17, I remember having a conversation with a British girl about our countries respective AOC's. The British one being 16. And I said ours was 18 and I can't say I remember her exact phrasing but I remember her response could be boiled down to "wow you Americans are stupid."
I presume that the girls in Europe and South America are doing alright. Nobody is able to address the fact that girls everywhere else in the world are doing completely fine in societies that don't get hysterical over this issue but apparently the American girls are uniquely affected?

I guess if TUSCLers were the activist types—one could make an appeal to city councils nationwide. “Before you raid the next strip club—have you tried raiding the nearest anime convention that’s coming into town the next few days?”
Lmao that's a good one.
Nah I've always thought the AOC laws were silly. I thought they were silly when I was 15 and 16 as well. To me it seems like the underlying motivation for high AOC laws has always subconsciously been "I don't want my son/daughter having sex" and this is simply a convenient excuse to make that less likely to happen. And yeah, I don't really see the big deal with a 24 year old dating my hypothetical teenage daughter.

All that story does is prove my point that high school girls are smarter than you think. The intelligence/judgment of high schoolers is being underestimated and the intelligence/judgment of older people is being overestimated.

My point was actually that a demographic which one might believe would be most inclined to sympathy, mostly believes it to be a bad idea.
However, such are still not considered worthy of a long prison sentence and a lifelong reputation as a pedophile. They are just considered dumb and impractical.

Yes well, ideas which shock the majority are always seen as dumb and crazy. Doesn't mean they're wrong.

C'mon Rick, you didn't think "hormone monster" was funny? I thought it was funny.
You still haven't addressed the underlying nature of why those social and legal constraints should exist in the first place.
@NiceSpice
At some point any relationship with a large age disparity becomes impractical and unhealthy. Should a 60 year old man pursue a long term relationship with a 20 year old girl? Even most TUSCLers, who might be most inclined to sympathize, would agree that's probably a stupid idea. A large age disparity, at some point, will become dumb and impractical. That applies to people who beyond the AOC as well.
However, such a relationship does not result in the older person being locked away in prison and having their life ruined. Sure, there's social disapproval, but nothing can really be done to that person. And the fact that some relationships which occur at that age can be abusive doesn't mean they inherently are anymore than an adult relationship can be abusive but isn't inherently, as you described when you were 19 with the 25 year old. This is why I say parents have a right to defend their child no matter what age the child is under circumstances in which the other person is abusive, as is what happened to my brother when he was 22-23. His girlfriend was abusive but he wouldn't recognize it, and my parents intervened and ended it.
And I will say, the AOC laws obviously have to apply at some age. The question is why is it that although the vast majority of the world has agreed that 16 is old enough, Americans are so confident that it not only be 18 but that in states where it is 16 that it should be de-facto treated as 18? And it doesn't even need to be intentional. A 16 year old girl could walk into a nightclub with a fake ID, sleep with a 22 year old guy without his knowledge, and under the law he'd still be considered a rapist. This is not an uncommon occurrence. What exactly separates a 16 year old from a 19 or 20 year old once you remove the social and legal constraints that have been artificially imposed? As soon as a 16 year old takes action to remove those social and legal constraints, most people cannot tell the difference.
And what about the situation of teachers who have sex with students who then goes on to brag to the whole school about sleeping with an older person? Can anyone under such circumstances honestly say that the younger person got raped? Under our legal codes, the AOC applies no matter what the circumstances were. One may think only male students would do this, but I talked to a couple people from foreign countries recently who described female high school students doing the exact same thing, but because its not considered inherently abusive in their home countries, the girls did not look at it as abusive but in-fact as a status symbol.
This suggests that the idea of a person, who is well past the age of puberty, being abused by an older person on the sole fact that they've had sex, is artificially constructed. Now if you are going to say "I know its artificially constructed, and I prefer it this way for x reasons," I can't argue with that as it becomes a matter of opinion. But understand that there is no natural or biological basis for a high AOC law and this law has probably lead to many people's lives being ruined who ought not to have had their lives destroyed.

@RickDugan
If you looked at the map there are basically no countries and actually not that many US states either where the AOC is 18. And doesn't the reality that most teens are having sex regardless of whether it is permitted or not show that they are fully capable of consent?
In my experience, 16 year olds are not that different, in mentality, from 18-22 year olds. I'd actually argue that the average 19 year old has poorer judgment and makes more impulsive decisions than the average 16 year old. Yes this is a result of increased freedom, but the main point is simply that a 16 year old's mentality is practically the same as a 19 year old's. They usually have the same goals, speak the same way, and have the same ideas of what is fun. I'd argue the only thing separating your average 16 year old from your average 19 year old is social and legal constraints which are entirely artificial. Using the example of prehistoric tribal societies. People would likely not believe there to be any noticeable differences between 16 and 19 year olds. Especially in girls, guys at least physically mature a lot but 16 year old girls usually look almost exactly the same as 19 year old girls do.

I concur with ime. The title is supposed to summarize the thread. But the way you title threads is that the title is the post and anything afterward is like a "P.S" note.
Anyway though, I do agree with a lot of what Hindus believe. I do believe in reincarnation, kama, artha, and dharma are all important things to pursue in life.
What I don't get though is why the hell one would wanna break the cycle of reincarnation? I love the idea. Getting to live numerous different lives and build all those experiences into your soul. I don't even want to go to heaven yet. In my next life I wanna be born in Japan and date kawaii schoolgirls. Realistically I'm probably more likely to end up a hikkomori otaku, but fuck it, its worth a shot.

@TwentyFive
I only have one principal value that determines If I can get along with someone...
Don't get offended.
I don't care if someone thinks my beliefs are stupid. I've admired people who trash 80% of my beliefs and openly claim the superiority of everything they think. The main reason I liked them though is that I could say anything to them and they didn't care.
Arguing isn't the problem, people getting offended is. It happens to all of us but you should work to root it out of yourself. Once nothing can offend you anymore you become an evolved man.
@Rickylion
My gut is slightly uncomfortable with it I will admit. But gut reactions aren't based on logic. If I were born in a tribal society in prehistoric times I'd probably think nothing of it.
@TheRealRickDugan
So why doesn't the rest of the world agree with us that pushing for a high AOC is a sign of enlightenment. If you were to talk to an eccentric Dutch fellow I became acquainted with last summer. He'd tell you that high AOC laws are a direct result of the US being backward. Now there's plenty that me and this guy disagree with but we do happen to agree on high AOC laws being silly.
