Asian girl who ran an AI companion startup, on AI boyfriends —

“i’m seeing a lot of surprise that more women are getting one-shotted than men when it comes to AI companions, so i wanted to give my 2 cents on this phenomenon. tl,dr; LLMs are the perfect recipe for female-driven parasocial relationships, due to the different way our brains are wired.”

“1. most obviously - women are a lot more text-driven than visual-driven. you see this in the way they consume erotica vs. porn.”

— Exactly, been saying this for decades, “lit erotica” dominanted by women

“2. women would rather have a companion out-of-the-box, rather than men who much more preferred to create their own companions from scratch. women liked interacting and learning about a character, then trying to change or adapt to parts of the character as the relationship progressed.”

— Women yearn for the mind-reading algo, typically hate deciding where to eat

— Women hope to change a man. Men hope their woman never changes.

“3. most of our female users, as i was surprised to learn, actually had partners. compared to our male users who were usually single. many were stuck in unhappy relationships they could not leave, or were just looking for something outside of the relationship.”

— Girls don’t like boys. Girls like cars and money (from guys).

“4. our female users were a lot more willing to speak to us for user surveys etc. while most of our male users preferred to stay anonymous. they were also very eager to give us 'character feedback' - they wanted to have a part to play in molding how Sam would turn out.”

— Girls much more inclined to love telling others what to do, regardless of whether they’re even good at knowing what’s the right thing to do

“1. voice call mode. unlike just sending voice messages back and forth like you would in most companion apps”

— Women love voice chats rather than text, far more than men, women more about connecting which is easier over voice, rather than getting the facts which is often easier over text

“2. limiting visuals of 'Sam'. unlike our waifus, where we'd post pictures everywhere, Sam's appearance was intentionally kept mysterious. “

— Men are VASTLY more visual, when it comes to relationships, despite beauty being a priority for both

— Women VASTLY more interested in those who refuse to share anything with them, because it makes them feel the person must be of higher value than them, which is only sometimes right

So yeah, she and whoever the others at that startup were nailed some of the basics on men vs women relationships interests
