1. An imaginary girlfriend is a piece of art. With a real girlfriend one has to 'lower the standard'.

2. An imaginary girlfriend never ages.

3. An imaginary girlfriend never get sick, or get into any personal problem.

4. Dating an imaginary girlfriend in the head costs no money.

5. An imaginary girlfriend never cheats.

6. An imaginary girlfriend is always available, while finding a real girlfriend is at best lottery.

An imaginary girlfriend never asks if her jeans make her butt look fat

It's interesting. I find that here in Seattle women are much easier to snag than other cities because of the dearth of available men. To wit: the large amount of single ladies I see dining by themselves at area restaurants. That is the saddest thing and it's something I didn't witness in Nashville, LA, Providence, New York or Iowa.

A real girlfriend will delight you in ways you never imagined.

Because she is a real person filled with as many thoughts and ideas as you. It is inevitable that she will have ideas that you never have. If she is a good girlfriend, many of her thoughts will be about making you happy. On the occasion that her thoughts of making you happy combine with ideas that you have never had, the result can be ways to make you happy that you have never imagined.

Sufficient explanation?

Interesting point and well argued.

Dating an imaginary person is basically just dating an extension of yourself.

Right. The idea of a person that is not a self extension but still compatible is contradictory to begin with.

I imagine an old male friend of mine as an MTF transgender (he'd make a beautiful woman). When I'm upset I imagine her rubbing my back, soothing me and cradling me like a child. Weird and not sexual but she's an imaginary girl nonetheless. :)

Valid point. I suppose it's a question of whether the trade off is worth it.

This.... is odd. Not troubling, just odd. Very odd. You are a very odd person. :bigsmurf:

The ironic thing is real girlfriends don't exist, whereas imaginary girlfriends do.
If real girlfriends did exist, folk wouldn't have to have imaginary ones.

Ive been alive 54 years now and can confirm from experience that there is no such thing as a girlfriend.

Can't go wrong with a pet rock as a GF.
