Country's first 'robot sex brothel' set to open in Texas prompts backlash: report
The first so-called 'robot sex brothel' in the U.S. slated to open in the Houston area this month has prompted a massive backlash from residents and activists who say it will ruin the neighborhood. The company opened its first location last year near Toronto, where $60 buys a half-hour alone with a robot sex doll, according to the Washington Examiner. The dolls start at $2,500 to buy.
Update: Houston officials halt plans to open first US 'robot brothel'
Houston city officials have ordered at least a temporary halt to a Canadian company's plan to open a so-called "robot brothel" in the city. The Houston Chronicle reported that building inspectors ordered the halt after determining that the company, Kinky S Dolls, lacked the permits required for demolition and construction at a former 2,500 sq ft hair salon in the Galleria area of the city.

AC above. I speak from experience. I get that some people win the relationship lottery, but for all of those there are others who ostensibly made a good choice at the outset only to find that spouse simply quits contributing despite a high level of qualifications, and then spends years whining and complaining relentlessly about things while you go out and bust your ass to make up the difference. If that freeloader happens to be a woman, you're fucked.
Don't get married to anyone unless you have 5+ years of proof that the person is going to be an even partner and bail the second you even guess that person has jumped on the "I'm married so I can sit around and watch youtube all day and bitch about how you don't buy me enough crap" train.

Okay, fair enough, but you don't get to generalize half the human race from your own experience. I'm actually with you on this; my first really serious partner, whom I very nearly married, went absolutely rat-boinking nuts about 4 years into the relationship. Being a woman AND dating them lets you see some really awful sides of us. And you're definitely right about not rushing into marriage!
