I don't think it would be very good advice for most of us. Perhaps he is so high functioning that he is almost NT. I would be interested in finding out if his advice has worked for him. I didn't think it was much chop really but maybe someone else could say more because I didn't read very far before I thought it sexist.
Who the %&^$ is Groovy Druid, ya know..tbh..
Ah well he's probably the "grand high wizard" or w/e of some Pagan offshoot sex cult or something, I'd stay well away ;p
And also, if he's from WrongPlanet he's probably mad as trousers.
He doesn't seem to have put on an appearance at ZOMG but if he did, they probably wouldn't take his advice very seriously there.
Actually, the bit where he says aspie women can come across as aloof or closed in is probably quite accurate. The part where he says aspie women can also be "too forward" and then get punished for it might be more true than we like. I suppose we could say that guys who would reject a woman simply because she asked them out are not the right ones for us anyway - we would want someone with a less sexist attitude.
I'm also not sure about this walking with hips rolling: wouldn't that look a bit tarty?
Batman, sounds as if "friend with benefits" would suit you but I'm not quite sure how you would find such a lady. I'd certainly steer clear of adult matchmaker sites because there are too many predators in those. Maybe if you had any hobbies or interests, you might meet somebody through them?
Hmm, who needs enemies with friends like that?
Well, that's just ridiculous! There's a hell of a lot of worse types of people to date than nerds!
Well, you wouldn't want to date someone so immature anyway.
Batman- if it helps any I don't think I've ever had much of a traditional relationship... even now I call my relationship with hubby, "functionally dysfunctional". I am not interestsed in being held down by some pre-conceived ideal of what my marriage should be like.
(not saying we don't have problems or that we're really super un-traditional or anything, just that the way we work is different but works for us most of the time...)
Hitch was a great movie, movies like that really make sense of the whole relationship thing, wish they could make one similar for managing other types of relationships.
I've never understood Groovy Druid and his help has never seemed that helpful...
Is he really an Aspie or maybe he is Aspie Lite?
The hell is Aspie Lite?
Is that what I am?
I don't know, but I think De Druid is such.
Oh no, diet coke has lots of bad stuff put in.
Just how good is Groovy Druid's advice?
Does he postulate a system that Aspies can run in their mind, at the same time as observing the nonverbal cues to flirting? It seems to me "doing both at once"--observing and running a logical system--would be difficult for an Aspie, as we have very limited space to work with in social interaction. In other words, we're good at one thing at a time.
His advice is godawful, I would not take it. Believe me I am speaking from experience.
I must wonder if he is really aspie because his advice to go to nightclubs to meet potential partners isn't too good.
