How to build myself a robot girlfriend ???

Poseur.  If you were a true nerd you would be able to figure this out on you
own.

i have no idea about making a robot, but this much i want to say. if
you were to put tenth the effort required to make that robot on finding
a gf, you would probably have 10 real gfs. a robot better make life
simpler than complicated.

My nephew was in the same situation, but then he got an old vintage
Mercedes, and his life turned around.

 this resembles something that was already discussed

A friend of mine met this guy in the redneck backwoods of
california...

This guy that lived in the woods owned a "realdoll"...   He
put a lock on his trailer when he got "her", because he was
afraid that his "buddies" would cheat with his doll....

hahah.

I wonder where "redneck" is coming from. Is that because of sunburns
you have when you work in fields?....

also known as a t-shirt tan

Is a Realdoll hackable?  According to the website, it has
steel joints, with a range of motion about the same as a
real human, but the joints are not powered.  The website
says they consider custom requests, so I wonder if one
could get the skeleton, install motors and control
electronics, and then send it back to have the silicone
"flesh" installed.  Perhaps pneumatic "air muscles" or
"muscle wires" would work better than motors.

Maybe these two technolgies can be merged.

Or it could be merged with military technology and used
to lure Al Qaeda guerrillas from their caves in Afghanistan.
If you look at some of our current cave clearing robots
(http://www.irobot.com/sp.cfm?pageid 9), I think we are
taking the wrong approach.  You catch a lot more flies with
honey than with vinegar.  We could outfit one of these
Realdolls with a slinky burka, tight enough to look sexy,
but still loose enough to conceal a machinegun.  As it
moves through the caves, it could acquire targets with
a combination of visual, infrared, and acoustic sensors.
After clearing the caves, it could go back to Camp Rhino,
where it could wash the dishes in the chow hall, and then
entertain the troops.
