Mindfully Masculine: Personal Growth and Mental Health for Men

The Rise of AI Girlfriends: "Boyfriend" or "End User"?


Listen Later

What happens when your “perfect” girlfriend lives in your phone, hits your credit card for $9.95 a month, and never says no? In this episode, Charles and Dan explore the rise of AI companions and what draws men to digital relationships over real ones.

We dig into questions like:

  • Why some men are choosing AI girlfriends instead of dating apps or real partners
  • Whether talking to a bot can really make you feel “chosen”
  • How this trend might affect masculinity, intimacy, and even population growth
  • Why equal rights for women are great for exceptional men… and not-so-great for mediocre ones
  • Whether an AI girlfriend is a bridge to better relationships or just a pacifier keeping men stuck

It’s part philosophy, part comedy, and part social commentary on where dating and technology collide. Spoiler: Rosie from The Jetsons and Dolores from Westworld both make cameos in the conversation.
