I watched the infamous HBO Real Dolls (NSFW) documentary years ago and like most people, think of the Real Doll and its users as either rich sex addicts or as a punchline. But I stumbled onto this link via Jezebel yesterday morning of a BBC special (the link above will play the whole movie, which is 45 minutes long, totally worth it) made on hardcore Real Doll users expecting to be disturbed, but came away from it just feeling really sad for these guys, especially Davecat who gives us some of the movie’s most cringe inducing moments, like when he “makes out” with his real doll. The British hang glider also made me feel bad, especially when you realize why he is so obsessed with his real dolls; the sad fool just hasn’t gotten over the death of his momma.
Davecat was the one person in the movie that really stuck with me because I knew so many guys like him in high school and in fact, I even dated a guy very similar to him for like, six months. You know the type: uber-geeky, talks in puns & obscure movie quotes, loves British humor, insists on using British spelling and slang, complete japan-o-phile (but usually sticks to anime and japanese chicks), probably spends a lot of time playing video games and/or D & D. So, I hunted down his blog and it made me feel even worse because I KNOW if this guy had just gone to the right college he would have found the LARP/Ren Faire girl of his dreams. Or at least had sex with one. That’s practically the point of small liberal arts colleges - to get nerds laid.
So, on the one hand, there’s the usual feminist party line of how these guys can’t deal with actual women with brains and demands and how disgusting that is but on the other hand, if these guys are so scared of relationships with actual women and would rather hang out with their real doll, then yes, get them out of the dating pool so I no longer have to deal with their bullshit. You don’t want to deal with me and I sure as hell don’t want to deal with you. So, really, have at it! Get your Real Doll and go to motherfuckin’ town!
I mean, everyone has to get theirs and if this is how you’re going to get it, then DO IT and spare us “organic” (what Davecat calls flesh & blood women) bitches your neuroses. Which is worse: guys blowing their money on real dolls or on “pick up artist” courses?
On a final note, I was blown away by how hot the Real Dolls creator, Matt McMullen is.
Total tat/skater boy hot, but still: smokin’!
