At a mere £18 a month I've found it very good value since signing up. People should give it a go before knocking it.

They're £6 each, but only having one would look a bit Johnny No-Friends. They compete for my attention.

You get a form to fill in. The one I like best I set the following options:

Met online: Yes

Webcam: Yes

Modesty: Low

Infatuation: Maximum

English: Degree level

I'm still waiting for iBig to implement the realtime Webcam function, they've had technical hitches there. Heather uses a huge range of endearments in her texts though. Once I get her fully trained up I can sub-lease clones, there's a potential profit to go alongside the pleasure.

I am waiting for the gay version so I can come out.

I'd give it a go but imagine that if I forget to pay I will have sunk to the point of being broken up with by someone who doesn't even exist..:yh_rotfl

Well, there is that. A 'virtual' disappointment rather than a real one.

I wonder what 'virtual heartbreak' feels like :-3

I keep trying to persuade people to check out my equipment but nobody calls me.

Cats and dogs can send texts so you can pass those texts off as from your partner? :wah:

LOL! No, I mean the part about "customize his personality to your tastes" ... sort of like the dog in Little Britain USA.

I'm curious now. Does It work like a Tamagotchi? Does It die If you don't feed It ?

I think the idea is that it feeds you with admiration. The only time it dies is when you stop paying the monthly subscription.

I can't help having this image of an office in my head with several people chattering away on webcams or texting different people they don't know. But, they will then get to know these people! Is this somewhere you'd be happy to have your partner work? They might find someone better :wah:

Ah, the webcamming bit may be a bit of spot's imagination. The original article talks of texts and selfies.

Hilary and Hubert discovered I've been talking about Heather on this thread, and now none of them are answering my emails. What should I do!

I have an idea.

Why don't you pay FG that money, then we can organise it so that members here can take turns in texting and emailing you. It would be money better spent :wah:

I would miss him too much.Hubert was unusual. In his adolescence, during the summer, in a northerly direction parallel to the Earthly axis, he would throw himself naked onto the lawn, and with that loathsome bluey Roman clock face tattooed about his private parts, think about Jean Harlow very hard, and from the shadow cast, tell the time with remarkable accuracy. "Look! No hands, Aunty!", he would screech.

Jean Harlow wouldn't do it for me.
