My understanding is this was a timing thing. The tradesman was seriously on the path to marrying Karina (hence the introduction to mommy). He only later struck lucky with a g/f in Vietnam.

It wouldn't make a difference to me if he met his gf before or after the doll introduction to his mom. I can get it that Karina means a lot to him. I know some people do things like marry inanimate objects. I know it happens. I just don't understand why. It seems weird to me. Someday I want to meet someone who's into that stuff and have them explain it to me, because for the life of me, I cannot grasp it.

Ummm.

Guys are getting laid as much as they want. As often as they want. And as many as they want. Girls are whores who are misguided into sleeping with men because they really want that relationship. Guys typically don't.

:roll:

Plenty of women using dating apps to hookup and get laid just the same as guys do these days. I know, I’ve worked with servers that would openly discuss it with other bar/restaurant staff.

Women who work in customer relations (retail, fast food, hospitality, hotels, bars and restaurants) tend to be > average looks. I was just in Kmart this morning and every girl working in retail could pass as a supermodel.

For this specific group dating apps gives them access to "high value men" who will swipe right when they see them.

You just repeated what I said. But they want a relationship, the guys just dump them because they don't want any relationship, just a new f*** every weekend.

You may not believe me but when I was in primary school in the mid-1970s pet rocks were all the craze. There were women who decorated their pet rocks with faces and clothes and they became kind of like creepy companions who went with them in their handbags. Now that I think back the rocks were smooth and phallic so perhaps there was a reason.....

Each to his or her own.


Do they make male dolls and is there a market for them?

I was alive in the 70s. I remember pet rocks, I am 308 you know. :lol:

Seriously though, I was alive in the 70s and I do remember pet rocks. I am, however, not 308. I'm 337, but shhhh, don't tell anyone. :mrgreen: I don't recall the rocks being especially phallic though. Mostly just rock-like. *shrugs*

Side note, I made my dad a pet rock for his bday this year. I painted it up to look like him. Wrote 'you rock' on the inside of a card and taped the rock to it. Now my grandson wants a 'him rock' for his bday. I think I started a terrible thing with that rock.

There's a girl who works in the Gluten free bakery who chats with me and I discovered to my delight she also makes pet rocks for commercial sale on the internet. She showed me some of her samples and they are really cute/cuddly.

The smooth phallic rocks can be stood up. kind of like Mr Potato head.

Oh good question. I imagine the doll would need an erect firm appendage for pleasure.

Not necessarily. ^^

Nice hands, nice mouth, soft hair or stubble can go a long way. Or other nice parts for gay men.

just like for men's female dolls, they make male dolls that have different "features" such as appendage size etc.
