	When was this written? It seems a strange future where one guy being a bachelor is suspicious. Also, apparently marrying each other wasn't an option. Not enough womanbots, I suppose. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wanda Maximoff no doubt read this as a young girl and had a completely different reaction. (Reply to this)

	Obviously an inferior model. No useful devices whatsoever. (Reply to this)

	All that beautiful wardrobe in her closet, I also expect him to say he was a gay robot. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wait, what? Is he a gay robot or something? Because I don't see how being a bachelor would be suspicious, unless it was to cover up that he was gay, because in the process of discovering his sexuality someone may discover that he's a robot as well... Well, either way, this was interesting to read. When's it from, anyways? Several decades ago, I suspect. (Reply to this)

	It's interesting how this story imagines one major social norm changing radically, i.e. divorce becoming easier to get, while assuming that other social norms would remain the same, i.e. women "needing" to be married in order to have children, and men "needing" to be married in order to fit into the business world.

	Why did he need a fleshbag for a cyber-beard if he could have just built a female robot for that purpose? I call shenanigans. He's just playing hard to get, Dianne; have him show you what sort of peripherals he's got below the belt. (Reply to this)
