Will Loving Bear Puffy — the man-sized teddy being sold to lonely hearts as a boyfriend substitute — make my single life bearable? He won’t snore, hog the duvet or talk back, writes IRAM RAMZAN

'Loving Bear Puffy', to give him his full name, is a 5ft 7in milky-brown 'emotional support bear' that lonely singletons can buy for £135 if they're in need of a cuddle.

He has the 'shape and size of a male human body', his creators claim, 'with the head of a half-asleep bear'. This gives him rather strange proportions — the broad shoulders of a weight-lifter and a soft toy's tiny head...

You can lean on him if you need a shoulder to cry on, or clasp your fingers around his hand for reassurance. You can snuggle down beside him on the sofa with a book or to watch a film, or he can share your bed. As the website states, he 'replaces the lack of a person's physical presence, especially during long, lonely nights'...

The guys behind Loving Bear Puffy could be on to a winner. The number of women not living with a partner or who have never married is rising rapidly in every age group under 70.

For many 30-something women, online dating has grown exhausting. We're tired of Tinder and bored of Bumble. These apps become all-consuming — constantly swiping left or right on match after match, before things fizzle out or they ghost you...

The best thing about this bear is he's always there when I need a snuggle. I don't need to waste time getting to know him for days or weeks, before things don't work out.

While some might think it's a bit odd to spend the night with a bear, a 2019 survey found that 34 per cent of adults still sleep with a soft toy. So essentially, we have become a generation of adult babies: millennials, still living at home, sleeping with their teddies. No wonder the birth rate is plummeting.

Japan introduced "man pillows" several decades ago. Europe is catching up. I suppose these man surrogates are the female equivalent of blow-up sex dolls. And they're just as sad and shameful.

I was reading recently that men tend to be more imprintable, in terms of sexual orientations. They have difficulty straying from how they were imprinted. Homosexual men tend to stay homosexual men and will have the same sexual and emotional responses to women that straight men will have towards other men.

Whereas, women tend to be more situational. They can be turned on by much more stuff, if they are in an area where it’s acceptable and there are no inhibitors like family or a husband.

Are batteries included? And does the toy include proof that the toy has been vaccinated and boosted? Sounds like the perfect companion for lonely nights of box wine and feeding ALL of the cats.

That’s just bizarre. How is it that some people believe we live at the pinnacle of human history when so many of us can’t manage basic human relationships?

Loving Bear Puffy and blow-up sex doll could have a wonderful life together.

If I were a muslim chick like the girl in the article I’d also probably prefer to marry a stuffed bear than a muslim man who felt entitled to beat or murder me if he felt I embarrassed him.

Yes, but she's "British" and writes for the Daily Mail. She's probably dated (i.e., had quick "hookups") with Millennial men of every race and religion.

This article demonstrates the powerful allure of Western decadence.

Had she stayed in Iran, she'd be married with several kids, and attending mosque.

Instead, she's self-absorbed, single, childless in her 30s, lives on Tinder and social media, and has a career writing articles about herself.
