Thanks for reading my previous wall of text and responding to it.A Passe Adesse said:
Ok, so you say you feel like technology is going to betray us sooner or later. However, in your scenario, this has already happened. Since Tali cannot return your feelings as she is not a rational being that can confer value to you, you will realize the scope of this feel heartbroken by betrayal eventually. Love is supposed t obe mutual. She is actually worse than those women who did not appreciate you since it is physically impossible for Tali to love you back, wheras those women (and any woman) could potentially return your feelings, since they have unconditional value as I said before. Technology is being used against you right there.
Additionally, completely stopping your search for real women is nonsensical because Tali is modeled, either directly or indirectly after those women you stopped looking for. Since BioWare is presumably a human organization that has no more advanced technology than anywhere else in the world and thus no means to meet alien creatures, so Tali's character must have been directly based off of either A) humans BioWare's writers have met or B) humans that BioWare's writers have imagined, but those imaginary humans were based off of real humans, so Tali's character is still indirectly based off of human beings. According to some other Mass Effect players, Tali and her race were based off of the Jews, seen on this page: http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Quarian
Another problem with your reasoning is that you assume that immersing yourself in video games and trying to engage in romance are mutually exclusive. However, this is empirically denied, as many people who play video games regularly have social lives and/or a significant other. Additionally, these people meet via common interests, so if you can find other people in real life that enjoy Mass Effect and other interests.
You try to say that you've heard the trite saying repeatedly and say that you've been continuously crushed by people and therefore have no reason to deal with them. However, as I said in my original post, the amount of people you have not met greatly outweighs any number of people you could have met in your current life span, so results from that small sample of people are skewed in some way. Thus, since you have not met everyone on the planet, you can't really say that all of your attempts at doing so will end with drama and/or rejection. Neither of us know for sure aside from my probability weighing, but that's another part of life: not being able to expect everything categorically, in the same way you can be immersed in games you never thought would immerse you that way as technology continues to advance and not predict it. Thus, you might as well try, or else, there is not much else you can do for mutual feelings.
