Upcoming application Cloud Girlfriend says it will create the "perfect" girlfriend for you, one who will tweet at you all the time and post adoring messages on your Facebook wall, but whom you'll never have to deal with IRL (in real life), for better or for worse.

Did your mom ever warn you that you'll never find a girlfriend with your head in the clouds (or in front of a computer)?

She was so wrong.

Upcoming application Cloud Girlfriend says it will create the "perfect" girlfriend for you, one who will tweet at you all the time and post adoring messages on your Facebook wall, but whom you'll never have to deal with IRL (in real life).

That's because, as the company name implies, your cloud girlfriend is only a virtual presence stored in a virtual cloud, with a virtual personality matching what you ask for. However, her profile will be managed by a real human being—a female one—Cloud Girlfriend's co-founder insists.

"The girlfriend is operated by a real girl. It is not a sex chat or pornography service," wrote co-founder David Fuhriman on Quora.

Cloud Girlfriend has yet to launch, raising questions of its compliance with Facebook and Twitter's Terms of Service, but it has grabbed widespread media attention in recent days because of its unusual premise and appeal to the busy, tech-savvy, modern young man.

"The right virtual girlfriend can be just like having a real long-distance girlfriend, without the hassles," Fuhriman wrote on Quora last week, days before the Website was discovered by Hacker News. "I saw a new site helping people with this: http://cloudgirlfriend.com," he added before revealing his role in the company.

Fuhriman later told Business Insider that the service is therapeutic because it fulfills a man's psychological, emotional needs, and builds his self-confidence. It can also help them navigate real-life situations, he claims.

Fuhriman is all about helping others. An entrepreneur based in San Diego, he more recently co-founded the volunteer matching site 5000Hands.com.
