# Virtual Boyfriends & Girlfriends V-Boy & V-Girl By Bianca | Published 2008-03-10 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v-boy-v-girl References: [virtual-boys](http://www.virtual-boys.com/) Ladies, are you tired of searching for that perfect man? Instead of just settling for someone to ease the sting of loneliness, protect your heart and preserve your dignity and scoop up a sexy [V-Boy](http://www.virtual-boys.com) instead. (Oh yeah, and guys, there's [V-Girl.com](http://www.v-girl.com) for you.) There are five [virtual boyfriends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-game-game) to choose from, but all are so darn adorable, it's hard to make the final selection (of course, you could just date them all!) Baxter, Jackie, Kai, Rex and Skylar will woo you and treat you just the way every man should... and why not let them until the perfect real life prince charming comes along? Personally, I'd go for Kai Sato. He's a 23-year old venture capitalist and his hobbies are "managing his fortune" and "inventing new products." He is 6 feet tall, weighs 170 lbs and looks pretty darn cute. Then again, it would be hard to stay faithful to that V-Boy when I know a sexy thing like Rex Jett is on the scene. He's a hunky firefighter and has the type of bod that would make any woman feel protected: 6'4 and 210lb. He's a cancer so he's sensitive, but he's motivated too; he lives by the motto, "Failure is not an option." Check out the rest of the V-Boys to find your ideal [virtual man](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-match). You can take him everywhere with you (all you need is a 2.75G/EDGE or 3G handset), he's "[portable eye candy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mehugo)," you can interact in over 30 games and other "interactions," listen to their secrets and among other things, you guys get your own virtual pet! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Virtual Dating:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop virtual dating platforms that provide users with customizable virtual partners. - **Virtual Companions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create virtual companion applications that offer emotional support and companionship to users. - **Virtual Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build immersive virtual entertainment experiences that allow users to interact with virtual characters and environments. ### Who This Affects Most - **Online Dating:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate virtual dating features into online dating platforms to offer users a new dimension of connection. - **Artificial Intelligence:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop AI-powered virtual companionship applications that can understand and respond to users' emotions. - **Gaming:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine virtual dating and gaming elements to create engaging virtual entertainment experiences for users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personalized Digital Dating Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-spaces-for-singles.md) - [VR Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flirtual.md) - [VR-Based Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nevermet.md) - [Bizarre Dating Sim Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/date-everything.md) - [AI Roleplay Chatboys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreampal.md) - [AI Dating Aid Bots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wittywingman.md) - [AI Dating Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intimal.md) - [Beer Can Matchmakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tallboysonly.md) - [AI-Powered Dating Simulators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koi-suru-ai.md)
