As a new app launches with the promise to help men placate their ‘angry girlfriends’, Olivia Petter asks what this type of technology says about our expectations of men – and women
The AI App That Shows Just How Bad Dating Is Right Now

When did romance die? Was it when we all started swiping for love on the loo? Or when sliding into each other’s DMs for sex became a thing? How about when Brad and Angelina broke up? No, it’s only today that the death knell is finally sounded. Because, thanks to a new app, straight men have started using AI to resolve arguments with their girlfriends. We might as well all give up now.

Introducing “AngryGF”, the app that is “designed to help users handle relationship conflicts with their partners, especially girlfriends or wives”. I know what you’re thinking. Of course an app like this has been created. How else are straight men supposed to know how to communicate with their partners?

They’re too busy, you see. Chopping wood, hunting animals, and just generally grunting at themselves in the mirror takes up a lot of time and energy. Of course they aren’t going to have time for basic empathy as well. Frankly, it would be audacious for anyone to assume otherwise. Thank goodness, then, that now there is a robot that these burly, emotionally inept men can turn to when they need to be functioning human beings.
