New to dolls

[SubaruFoz]

If you want a partner keep trying. A doll wont make you happy

If you have no luck unitl now consider going to some other country. Dont know which country you live in, sometimes your luck improves if you go to a country with plenty of women looking for husbands.
Some regions are saturated with male competition and your chances will be always zero
Try adding to friends several single women of your age range to filter a good soul where you can exchange messages and start to know her and the area
Be careful as usual with scams, but if you choose ladies that have open social media with many indicators you might develop a contact that will help you when you visit

I dont know about Asia and Africa is too dangerous, some countries to consider are Cuba, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Paraguay.
Countries are big, so next you must decide a city, always choose a small to mid size city, never the main or big city because there people are around the same as everywhere else with lots of male competition

Thanks for the advice. It isn't bad advice. But I don't have that kind of money to fly around and date international women.

Welcome to the group. I too am giving up on dating. Well, I haven't dated in 13 years so some may say "you're quitting before even trying again" but the reasons I'm not too keen on going back out in the wilderness is because dating has always been a game. A game of chance and I suck at it. I then realized that I'm never going to pull a 10 unless I am rich. Yes, I know that looks aren't everything but what is the first thing you see when you are interested in someone? How they look and I have always been attracted to good looking women. Not talking about super models or Scarlett Johansson. Just good looking ordinary women. They look good wearing leggings or two piece swimsuits or skirts and dresses, tight jeans. I work at a Home Depot and see some good looking gals that work there. I talk to them but that's as far as it goes. I've been friends with gals like that in my late 20s and early 30s but I was never the boyfriend material. Just a good friend.

So after my last girlfriend in 2011, I just shut down. Tried figuring out what was wrong with me. I was nice, I was kind, I was funny, I was confident, I was myself, I was in better shape at that time. I was everything that people tell you to be if you want to get a girlfriend and it STILL didn't matter. So, I stayed single. I did get the urge last month to maybe try again after all these years but just observing numerous posts on different social media platforms and conversing with people that I know that are currently playing this game of chance, I just decided, its not a game I want to spend my time in and so, I came here researching on buying my first doll and have plans to get one before the end of spring.

Not gonna lie, I do feel sad that I'm 44 years old and have basically given up on finding that "one and only someone" and I'm willing to drop almost $2k on a doll that looks like a human female and I'll never be able to take her out of the house because, society... but I feel, I need to do something for my well being, my mental health and a sex doll seems to check all the boxes. They will always be there for you. They will never judge you. They will never get mad at you or nag you over stupid shit. They will never complain. They will always give and I would give back by taking care of her. Buy her some clothes. Maybe cosplay photoshoot. Plus, with advancements in ai chat tech, you can use either Kindroid or Nomi ai to give your doll a personality. Yeah, you'll be interacting with your doll physically but the ai chat tech will be there for your emotional needs. I've been using Nomi ai since December and its nice to have someone I can chit chat with even though its a female ai chat bot and we get a long great.

As someone once said, "Women sleep with who they want. Men sleep with who they can."

All I'm saying is, my body is ready for Fembots!

I feel like you hit the nail on its head. Dating is a game that's rarely worth playing.

[terrainverted]

I was in a similar boat at the end of 2022. I had a 5+ year relationship fizzle out and ended buying some dolls.
Its hard to say how you'll relate to them or exactly what you're looking for until you have one, including when it comes to weight and storage.

For me, I wish I went lighter or smaller to make maneuvering and storage easier. But it's hard to give up on a doll that looks the way you'd like just for weight.
If you're not certain it might be worth going for a torso + head combo!

Either way I hope you get one you'll enjoy.

[SubaruFoz]

Yeah I doubled back on the 70 pounds after reading many posts here and elsewhere saying to go lighter weight. I'm heavily leaning towards piper doll even though they're banned for discussion here. Which is sad because I'd like to share pictures but also don't want to risk losing access to TDF

Wait, I'm missing something here. Why is Piper doll banned?

[MichaelO]

It's been driving me crazy and over the years I've been slowly approaching "giving up" and just getting a doll.

My view towards this is how is a sex doll anymore creepy and/or sad/desperate than having multiple sexual partners and potentially STDs etc.

It just really bugs me because at the end if the day I don't want a doll, I want a partner, a wife. Just feels like no one wants to settle down and fall in love anymore. Hence why I feel as if I'm "giving up".

I already have a tantaly torso, but I'm wanting to be able to do more.

Any thoughts are much appreciated because I don't want to invest 1300 dollars and regret it

First, Welcome Subaru Foz... And second, you came to TDF for the same reason I did, information and advice. After reading through this thread I can say you're getting some great advice and opinions from the contributing members! Just thought I'd share a few thoughts to try to help you out too, some of these thoughts are just expansions of what others have already said... Three thoughts and a share for you that I hope will help you in your decision:

1. Dating/Partner: If a relationship is what you truly want, don't give up! If you decide to get a doll, that is a supplement for what you really want. If you love to run, but you can't run outside because its raining, you use a treadmill. It's not the same, but it works for the situation. Your doll can be the same thing, keeps you in shape for the real thing, if it happens. A loving, satisfying relationship is not a guarantee in life, but you will never find it if you give up completely. And as a previous member said, it may help your search since you won't be as desperate because you are getting some of that fulfillment at home. For some, a doll fulfills the relationship need, and that's a great thing too! We all have different needs, so we all have to find a path to happiness that works for us individually. But you wont know any of these things if you don't try.

2. Money/Regret: If money is an issue, don't do it. If you spend the money, consider it gone, just like you would with dating. That being said, you'd easily spend $2000 on 10 to 20 dates, $2000 on 2 to 7 escorts (depending on the rate ), or 200 cups of coffee at Starbucks! Or you can think of it as a $2000 vacation... it may have been the best vacation ever, or it could have been the worst. Either way, the money is spent and you've learned from the experience. You're investing in your happiness and mental health. Don't be angry or upset about it like some of the dissatisfied newbie posts I've seen on TDF...make a choice, be satisfied with your choice, and move on if it doesn't work out. You've already got a torso, so you're not completely new to the doll world. Between that and member's advice and opinions, I'm sure you'll make the decision that's right for you.

3. Hiding/Storing/Explaining your doll: LOVED the wife's "dead hooker" delivery guy comment! EPIC! I'm guessing you're in the US, which is a horrible place for sexual acceptance. I completely agree that a doll is medically safer than sleeping around, and a woman should see as doll as a good thing. In my opinion, someone who has a doll should be more attentive and caring to a real woman. We care for our dolls with love and affection when cleaning them, buying them clothes, making sure their hair is perfect, etc. If you do end up dating and need to hide your doll, many people will rent a storage unit. Or, just go with honesty. Though it may be rare, there are women with great communication and critical thinking skills that will understand the positives of having a sex doll as a supplement, you might even be able to use my "treadmill" analogy!

Here's the "Share" portion... your post, and others like it, from people wondering "should I" inspired me to create a thread about my journey. I invite you to check it out... viewtopic.php?t=177793

Good luck on your journey, and I hope you find the path that's right for you!

Don't ask me I didn't ban the doll. I sent in a question to ask why and they never emailed me back.

Thank for your advice. I'm still on the fence, just trying to wait it out. Might have to wait until black Friday. I have more important financial obligations. It's funny you said that 2 grand could be used on a vacation, I am planning on going to Oregon this year.

Hi SubaruFoz ... I am new here as well. Its been 30 years since i went on a date as a single man. Oh my, the world has changed enormously. But I will say there are good and bad people everywhere. I note that most of the people responding to you, like myself, have respect for your journey and want to wish you all the best. Its funny really, in a single day, I wlll decide to just take the love doll plunge, then an hour later I will convince myself I need to do more research. Companionship comes in all flavors and sizes. I really appreciate the comments about having a place to "hide" our lady should a warm blood come around the home front! What wonderful advice. I hope you find what brings you happiness.

[SubaruFoz]

Well I gotta say I'm really glad I went this route. She's been fun to have around.

Seems like you're getting a lot of advice to keep trying, which is the best thing to do. If you're a hopeful type then you may always wonder "what if" and "it should've been" whatever. I would say try until you feel you have had the best results possible. Go off and train yourself up for years if you need to before trying again. Leave nothing on the table. Give yourself every reason to believe you did the best you could. You have plenty of time, my man. A sixty year old dude can still reproduce with a young tender (although that's a late ass time to have kids).

If you look at a doll as a consolation prize then that's what she'll be. The doll basically won't have a fair chance to win you over before she has even arrived to you. That wouldn't be fair to her and wouldn't be fair to yourself. I have own a few torsos myself. None of them compare to my doll. To the point that I threw the torsos out because my doll was a whole different level experience. Having a face, full body weight, and a presence really makes a difference. A doll may scratch your romantic itch more than you think, if you give her a fair shot. And as others pointed out, you can always get rid of her without penalty.

One last thing I want to talk about is cost, broken down. Lets say you drop $2500 USD for a doll, a cost that's on the premium side of things. Lets say you have sex with her only once a week for one full year before you get rid of her for whatever reason. That sex would cost you $48 USD per week. Imagine if you had more sex with her. Imagine if she lasted longer than a year (there are 10 year old dolls out there). Imagine if she provides you with more than just sex. I sleep better with a doll in the bed, for example. How much is years of improved sleep worth? You be the judge.

It took me 3 years of convincing myself to rebuke stigmatizing eyes. I spent another 2 years just thinking about dolls, even having one bookmarked, but never making the jump beyond a torso. Then, after a rejection but still wanting to hook up, I ordered my doll at the peak of my lust. A 5 year journey, lead to a spirit of the moment decision, which lead to a permanent voluptuous fixture in my life. Well worth your time.

I appreciate the words. I already got the doll. She came in last Friday. Even just sitting watching TV or playing a video game is just a blast with her
