Not sure if HN worthy but it was definitely a funny read that made me laugh.

It reminded me of someone I knew that created a fake Facebook girlfriend to make it seem as if he was dating someone and went as far as having fake public conversation on each other's walls.

It's also sad because it reminds me of men like those in Japan that live with life-size woman dolls to replace the void of lonelinesss.

1. Why stop at one? A virtual harem avoids the compounding drama of having multiple partners right?

2. I really want to see GettyImages search strings from people who came from that page.

3. A friend has a stock photo of a beautiful golden on his phone just for flirting. He says it works, and usually admits the ruse as part of the pickup.

4. Plenty of online 'models' offer this service, as kind of a virtual GFE. So as much as the author may be taking the piss, many are quite sincere.

5. Hire a photog for your irl SO. It gives you both great photos, and they love it.

That's old news. New news is Japan's holographic spouse from Gatebox.
