Overview
A few months following the separation from his wife, Daniel dated women in London and Germany but experienced no attraction or physical excitement toward them.
Reflecting on this dating history, Daniel concluded that his attraction is confined exclusively to specific women, such as those observed in Japan, whom he regards as unattainable given perceived personal inadequacies.
Daniel decided to discontinue his search for a dream partner and close girlfriend applications via Instagram, pointing to a lack of drive for self-improvement and worries about online commentary, Reddit threads, and smears undermining his prospects.
Daniel acquired a love doll delivered in a discreet brown container, brought it into the house without alerting his mother, noted satisfaction with its realistic rubber texture and headless, legless shape, and offered to share images on Instagram owing to YouTube restrictions.
