Nearly 30 percent of girls said they’d rather date a robot than a guy

In a nearby future, a quarter of millennials will feel it's entirely normal to engage in romantic relationships with robots instead of humans, and I for one am proud of our unborn, animatronic children.

With movies like Her paving the way for a kind of openness to technology in love — and with Siri beside us as we order sushi alone in bed every single night — we've developed a uniquely close (read: romantic) relationship with robot like beings, and the bond is only growing stronger as computer are growing smarter and more realistic.

The study, created by Paris-based Havas, examined the future of artificial intelligence, and the attitude of 12,000 people towards it worldwide. It found that 27 percent — almost a third — of 18-34 year olds were open to engaging in romantic relationships with robots in the future, if possible.

These robots would of course be more realistic than something like Siri — with faces, and hopefully six packs of their own — but with the (good) pickings slim, and our prospects looking downright dreadful, this turn to robots could be an amazing thing for intelligent women.

On the other hand, if men catch wind of this, they'll probably try and make it weird by enhancing the "girl" robots' boobs or giving them butt implants, but human men aren't our issue anymore.

Our new boyfriend robots will probably be better listeners, and maybe they'll even remember when we make plans with them to meet up. And just imagine if we could program them to find the clit? But even I know that's probably just wishful thinking.

Any duded helping to design them will forget to program that function in.
