Earlier quoted context omitted.
Women can more readily get the kind of attention they want, with minimal effort. Getting emotionally invested in an AI seems to me like it would go hand in hand with giving up on human relationships. I'm pretty sure men are more likely to do that than women.
> ... get the attention they want, minimal effort I...uh, have you asked a woman whether this is true? Like, ask the nearest woman to confirm this and report back. Most women I have spoken to about this can get attention generally, but very little of it is desirable attention. There's also a bias I've noticed where people don't consider women that they don't personally find attractive when talking about these things…
that doesn't contradict what he said - just that the "undesirable" attention is still more desirable than an AI boyfriend could offer. Whereas an AI girlfriend can tautologically offer more desirable attention than the zero attention a significant percentage of men are able to achieve.
