"Davecat" is a guy who lives in Detroit with a life-sized doll for a girlfriend. A real partner might sleep around or develop a cocaine habit, he tells Vice Magazine, because that sounds totally healthy.
Vice: If Sidore has a soul, where does it come from?
It may sound superficial, but I provide her with a soul, a personality. I am incredibly grateful for the love that I get from Shi-chan. She’ll never lie or cheat or turn out to be a cokehead. My love flows through her and she in turn, in her own way, is appreciative that I am a doll owner who treats her like a person. I won’t shove her in a closet right after having sex with her. I’m willing to say, yes, we are married. Without Sidore, I wouldn’t be a well-known iDollitor. I never would have met the people I’ve met in the doll community, or be on TV, or be interviewed. I would honestly say that having her in my life has opened me up in ways that never would have happened otherwise.
That’s what great relationships do, isn’t it? They make you a better person.
Yes, the ideal person should bring something new to the table and make you evolve.
Yeah, ok.
But forget about Davecat's eccentricities for a second--his private life belongs to him, however weird it may seem--the edgy, cutting-edge folks at Vice managed to discover this guy after (according to Google) he's been profiled in the Daily Mail, the Atlantic, and on TLC's My Strange Addiction reality show. Davecat was even featured in a 2002 documentary.
You got scooped by basic cable, Vice. Y'all are slouching toward USA Today.
