# RoboBoyfriend The Perfect Partner for Girls From the MyPod Generation By Nisara | Published 2007-04-02 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roboboyfriend-new-perfect-partner-for-girl References: [shinyshiny](http://www.shinyshiny.tv/2007/04/roboboyfriend_t.html) & [iwantoneofthose](http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/roboboyfriend/index.html) Ladies, may I introduce you to your next boyfriend? The RoboBoyfriend is the perfect guy for ladies from the MyPod generation (the fusion of [MySpace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app) and [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipod-classic-iphone-17-case)). While real life boys are unreliable or sometimes a bit stupid, the RoboBoyfriend allows you to create your own guy. His facial expressions are interchangeable according to your order. You can let him talk with the “Let's Talk Mode” or push the mute button if you want him to be a listener. You can talk about any subjects with him since he can draw data from [Wikipedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wikipedia-article-ai) through his Wi Fi connection. He can also accompany you in the sea or the pool because his body is waterproof. The only negative thing is that he is short (91 cm.) UPDATE (Post April 1st): HA!
