Another very interesting point here is, nobody seems to have read the actual post, and gone on about cheap shots against "women" as if were some general object you can collect together.

Like the post explores fictosexualism, the escapism of an AI girlfriend/boyfriend, the general agreed upon sense that its a coping strategy, taking a strange turn into true crime and AI characters, summarizing with that this "AI gf/bf craze" is going to continue to be a minority of people, but that instead this will develop (author's claim) into a sort of erotica, similar to romance novels, and that "romance scams" on places like Instagram may become common.

Like there are like 7 or 8 different subjects one could have a great discussion about from this post alone. Yet we talk about how you can meet a man in VR, how men are bad (?), and that women are in hetro relationships when men are not. It's a strange deviation from the rather intellectual nature of Hacker News.

They should swoon over any FANG engineer (salary, clout/esteem, upward mobility). Guess their is no leet code for marketing yourself or personality

You're not wrong, but there's nothing to be done about it. Hacker News isn't going to change and the site guidelines make it impossible to criticize without eventually getting modded for "sneering at the community" or some such.

Just accept that some conversations can't be had here.
