What are some of the benefits of having an imaginary girlfriend?

I have a few:

You save a ton of money on Valentine's day gifts.

You don't have to worry about leaving the seat up.

She can never dump you.

You can pass all the gas you want and she never complains.

Every vacation you two go on is 50% off.

Imaginary lovers
Never turn you down
When all the others turn you away
They're around
It's my private pleasure
Midnight fantasy
Someone to share my
Wildest dreams with me
Imaginary lover
You're mine anytime
Imaginary lover, oh yeah

When ordinary lovers
Don't feel what you feel
And real-life situations lose their thrill
Imagination's unreal
Imaginary lover, imaginary lover
You're mine anytime

Imaginary lovers never disagree
They always care
They're always there when you need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Imaginary lover, imaginary lover
You're mine all the time
My imaginary lover
You're mine anytime

Yeah, to convince all the macho, homophobic jocks around you, too. (A possibility.)

don't have to shave 3/4ths of your body near as often.

you can watch TV in bed .... uninterrupted.

you can actually sleep in your bed.... uninterrupted.

you have the pint of Ben and Jerry's to yourself.

the seat is always down.

you can walk around the bedroom naked and not risk attack.

Similar benefits:

you have the whole bed to yourself.

you can wear your not so good underwear and bra.

Just be sure to wear imaginary protection, lest there be an imaginary paternity suit in the future.

eager for an imaginary threesome?

When she 'accidentally' leaves some imaginary clothes in your apartment, they don't take up much space?

Her imaginary cat doesn't try to sleep on your keyboard (unlike my wife's actual cat right now)?
