Did you ever think that you would ever have a girlfriend, and not have to deal with her in real life? Of course, to some this is a dream come true, but to others it is quite unusual. Some mothers tell you that you would never find a girlfriend with your head in the clouds or even by sitting in front of a computer. But now, things have changed. The upcoming application, Cloud Girlfriend, says that they can create the perfect girlfriend for you, one that you will never have to deal with in real life. The benefits of this is that they will post adoring messages to your Facebook or Tweet at you ALL the time. This can occur because your Cloud Girlfriend is only a virtual presence stored in a virtual cloud, with a virtual personality matching what you can ask for. Your Cloud Girlfriend's profile would be run by a human, however. Cloud Girlfriend's co-founder insists that it be a female human being.
Co-founder, David Fuhriman, claims that this is not a sex chat or pornography service. The girlfriend is operated by a real girl and can be like having a real long-distance girlfriend but without all of the extra hassles. Cloud Girlfriend has not launched yet, due to raising concerns with Facebook and Twitter's Terms of Service. Although it has issues coming its way with the social networking sites, the Cloud Girlfriend has gained a lot of media attention because of its unusual premise and appeal to the tech savy, busy, modern young man.
Cloud Girlfriend finds ways to defend its ways and its role in society. It claims that it is therapeutic because it ultimately fulfills a man's emotional, psychological needs, and builds his self confidence. They also claim that it can help them to successfully navigate real-life situations, which would lead them to make wise decisions throughout their life.
Cloud Girlfriend seems to be just another excuse for why men and women cannot hold a true relationship. It's a way around having a real relationship with another human being, which could only lead to the individual having other psychological problems. Facebook and Twitter should be concerned more because accounts are being created for such a low purpose, which only takes up the space on their network, that could be used by people who really want to use the social networking sites for what they were created for. The Cloud Girlfriend should also raise questions such as, what if the person wants to "break up" with the girl? Or, if you were to "break it off", would you be able to get away from them posting unnecessary messages onto your Facebook or Twitter? Why can't people just meet a significant other the way that everyone else does and has done it for hundreds and hundreds of years?
