Technology continues to fill in the gaps in our sex lives and relationships. In fact, the rate feels like it's accelerating. Last week I was struck with horror at Cloud Girlfriends, a service that lets guys create fake girlfriends on Facebook. But just when I was starting to think that even the virtual dating world exists through a male lens, I discovered Text Boyfriend a site that lets the ladies fulfill their Techromance fantasies with 3 texts a week from a digital BF. Their website exclaims that for just $1.99 a week women can get "Just the perfect amount of sweetness -- no overtexting, no drama. He's fun and cute and he's all about you!"
Freaking hilarious and actually insightful, especially given the sad state of text messages that get sent to women these days. To see just how low a guy will go when it comes to texting, I asked the sassiest bloggodessses out there to share some of the worst text messages they have ever received.
Miss Taylorcast of the Urban Dater:
"hi, i am busy this evening dear. maybe tomorrow you can come over and ride me."
"I am expecting to get yelled at so just text me. I won't pick up if you call. I called you a bitch cause you were being one."
"So wt u bin up too?"
"Heyy miss hws lyfe treatn u?"
"When kan we fuck"
"Too bad you don't like dirty pics, would show you how hard I am."
"Come over. lol."
"leaving work soon, pour a glass of wine so it's ready for me"
"F-that she went back to Hoboken, be home soon" (a mistaken text I received from a guy after I took a cab back to Hoboken after our date)
All I can say is these guys give bad text! Although Text Boyfriend might not be a substitute for a real man at least he serves to remind us of the good things that should come. PS: Just realized if you remove the words Text Boyfriend from that sentence I could be talking about a vibrator.
