Do you have something like Lucy Liu?

TL;DR

Men bad. Women good.

Ugh...no.

TLDR:

The men who tend to be having Robosexual and/or Robofriendship tend to want fantasy relationships/sex. This fantasy tends to be them being dominant and the robot being subservient. In friendship generally they want the robot to think all their ideas are great and heap on praise rather than real connection or criticism.

Women tend to seek safety and a sense of trust when they have these relationships.
