Poll: Would you love a robot?

[Silver]

I don't know. I usually don't choose who I fall in love with, but I don't have anything against the idea. If it's sentient, and sapient (or, well, good enough at pretending that I couldn't tell the difference, and I didn't know otherwise), then sure.

The question then becomes what love is, and if the chemical reactions in a human would trigger when confronted with an android. The lack of natural pheromones might make love impossible. Then again, I've felt like I've fallen in love with fictional characters who've sprung to life in my mind when they were just words on a page, so why couldn't that work with something that talked, and felt.

No, I wouldn't have a problem with it. The relationship itself, and the individual, perhaps, but not the idea.

Are you implying I wouldn't fall in love with a crisp packet if it loved me back?

Nay. If robots become sentient, they will start questioning us and will want to declare independence. Besides, it'd be awkward, and kind of creepy...

 

[captaincabbage]

Can I fuck it? Sex is an important part in a relationship.

'If it bleeds, you can fuck it.'

Wait.. I got that quote horribly, horribly wrong..

dear god! That came out horrible!!

If it was sentient and didn't look like a tin can welded to some little metal arms then sure, I'd give it a whirl. But sentience would definitely be the biggest factor.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

If it is sentient, attractive, and we have personalities that mesh, then yes. While I do enjoy a good body, dating is more about the emotions for me.

XD "Poor rittle meeeeeeeeee"

I can't help it, I have to sing along every time I hear it

 

[Eldarion]

Let's say that very soon in the future, robots become sentient. The robots now say that they have emotions, such as fear, anger, and happiness Now you meet a andriod who has decided that it is in love with you. It looks like an attractive andriod to you. But would you consider falling in love with a machine? Or is it against your morals? Or what?

I don't see any reason why not. Seeing as how hot androids are prevalent in anime, I might be conditioned to say yes.

 

[Geekmaster]

Men are typically rather physical about their emotions.

So is it hot and can I fuck it?

Nevermind, I'm married.

 

[PoliceBox63]

If it has a true consciousness I will treat it as an equal.

 

[unicornninja]

If its Hot and presuming i could have sex with it i dont see why not.....unless It was a terminator THEN the deal is OVER

Oh and it must have a good personality

 

[joshthor]

robots dont have souls. so, I wouldnt date it, but i would f**k it. i have the same stance on gingers. (JUST KIDDING!) also, i dont want wierd robot babies.

 

[Mr. Socky]

If it's sentient, it is human in my opinion. No other animal is self-aware the way we are, and you don't see me going around dating walruses, now do you?
If it wasn't fully sentient, or could be manipulated through coding easily, I would not, however. Having a girlfriend that I could completely change with the press of a button would not be cool.

 

[hurfdurp]

I love Wadsworth already. He's always willing to cut my hair, and give me bottled water.

 

[chinangel]

Only if it wasn't programmed to.

Well..

Spoiler: I'm not totally against the idea.

Hot damn!

Motoko isn't a robot. She's a cyborg, there is a very distinct difference.

 

[dancinginfernal]

Somebody get that Futurama "I Dated a Robot!" PSA from that episode where Fry falls in love with Lucy Liu. I'm too lazy to find it.

And probably not.

 

[Krafty_Krocodile]

If it looks like Megaman X: YES
Otherwise: maybe

 

[LightspeedJack]

Only if it was a sassy English butler robot.
