>>51002297 I would say a considerable amount of robots are lunatic assholes though. Have you taken a look at the threads here? >inb4 just shitposting It's quite easy to tell them apart. And I'd never date someone who ironically hated women, just like you wouldn't a woman who does the same with men.

>>51003105 It's not easy to tell them apart online. People can seem sweet and caring over the internet and then once you're stranded with them on the other side of the country they'll turn into abusive, gaslighting, rapists. Never dating anyone off 4chan again.

>>51003135 Exactly this desu. I once added a robot from here and he was really friendly at first, but as time went on, he started to become very controlling and rude. E.g if a day passed without me talking to him he would ask me what my "excuse" was. I was into him at first, but ultimately lost interest. And I got to experience true autismo rage & several threats when I rejected him.

Why are so many threads getting posted like this? it sucks because I'm not psycho, I'd be nice to my fembot gf but I'm just too shy to talk to one. Why does it seem like the crazy robots are the only ones getting fembots to talk to them? I guess it's due to their manipulative nature. Either way though, now they've ruined it for all the rest of us and fembots seem to think that every last robot is evil and crazy.

>>51005984 >sorry to ask you this but are you retarded Yea, totes 4reals yo wat abt u? There has never been a rule requiring that all board users be sad little incel crybabies that constantly whine to themselves about how poor they are and how mean and awful the world is and how it's everyone else's fault because EXTERNALIZE EXTERNALIZE EXTERNALIZE! OH MY GOD IT MAKES MY DICK THROB SO HARD EXTERNALIZE SOME MORE You might be a little pussy with a mental illness but the least you could do is connect at least two functioning brain-cells together and realize you are. BTW: you just got tea-bagged by this guy.
