Aspies For Freedom

I think I need to find something better to do on a Saturday night.

Bob, you look OK. Maybe change your clothes. Your personality is not to bad either. Girls like nice, but matched with some determination and self respect. Just learn to be your own best friend. You have to be prepared to take risks. you say you are ready for rejection, so take some risks.

Okay but how is it you're able to give him that kind of advice, seeing as you admitted (like me) that you haven't been with a girl?

I would like to get with a girl but not for longterm emotional purposes, I know my limits. I have more problems with emotional regulation than most Aspies I have talked to, both here and elsewhere.

Even though girls like nice clothing, I really could care less. I've been wearing the same monotone sweatshirts for 8 years now, quite deliberately, because it's comically strange to see someone have no interest in clothes, at all. I do it on purpose.

Because its an opinion based on things I've read, seen on TV, etc. Anyway I said a few posts later that for me to comment as I did wasn't right. The fact I am single does mean I have no idea about relationships. In life most people I come accross assume I am married or have a girl friend. They are often shocked when I tell them I am single and live with my parents. I've just learnt how to dress and behave in order to fit in. Its not me, but then I don't always want to be me.

I need to find a serious nerd whose ego isn't threatened by my nonsense. What is the natural habitat of this rare creature? Reference only libraries? The ice cream aisle at Tesco's?

I think most stay indoors to avoid the sun and other thing, and rarely venture outside their homes, unless there is something too intresting to resist in the outside world.

wow, that pretty much painted a picture of me :scared:

After wandering through the 'Post your pic' thread, I got to thinking if any member of this site had a crush on a fellow member. So, you goin' wild over a fellow AFF member? If so, do tell (if you want).

Am I the only one here who is totally heartbroken that Yeti doesn't have a crush on me? Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Tongue

I thought you were gay? I didn't know gay people get heartbroken when women don't have crushes on them... Tongue

Wait! Yetti's a WOMAN?

Okay. Forget about it...

For some reason I thought you were 16 Gareth. How long have you been married?

Since he was 9.

That I shall also flitter my crushes back! And woman from mars, we loners amongst loners have to stick together, so, therefore I will crush on you as well. And it wouldn't be right to exclude our friend, batman.

Ahem.

I believe I was the one who initially commented on how CUTE you are, and now I discover this thread where you are frolicking about with a host of random flatterers, shamelessly festooning yourself with wild flowers.

Ziyaret is right. You just can't trust wimmin!

(Okay, everybody knows I'm just joking, right? The phrase "Ziyaret is right" should make that clear...)

Yes, I have a crush on 7oclock ( but not certain of gender ), Max, but I don't think he would have one on me,

!!?

I read all of your posts, you're one of my favorite New People, and I'm all a-flattered.

What a gushy orgy of Good Feelings this has become!

I must flee while my hard-bitten cynicism is still reasonable intact!

woman from mars Wrote:

I meant that you would not be likely to have a crush on a female ( if I'm understanding 'crush' correctly ).

Oh, that's got me into trouble more than once ...

woman from mars Wrote:

Orgy of good feelings is better than orgy of hate. Smile

Oh, we've had those threads, too: "I Hate SLUTS!" "Dealing with manipulators and charmers" "Theology and Homosexuality" -- oh, yes. This thread seems much nicer...

nyanchan Wrote:

A cynicism breakdown?! Yikes!

They're not pretty. There's sometimes a violent eruption of trust, faith and appreciation. If you stand too close, it'll get on you.

7oclock Wrote:

perhaps I was wrong. Sad

At least twice a day.

I thoroughly enjoyed the thread and I think it was valuable for a lot of people. It just seemed kind of sad you didn't get what you were looking for in it.

7oclock Wrote:

Really? You enjoyed it despite thinking it was a hate orgy? Hmmm...

I felt it set out to be one -- lots of rage and bitterness and name-calling and such -- but it got derailed at some point into a very productive and interesting thread.

And speaking of derailing threads, let's not derail this one.

I don't know a lot of guys here too well but Quickduck and Rossco are very friendly and interesting. I also like a lot of Max's posts.

Ha -- and those are two of my favorite people here -- although, of course, when the subject of porn comes up Rossco really does have to be put on an intravenous gorilla-sedative and packed in ice.

Something that strikes me -- and this is, I think, a very good thing -- is that i see many cases on this list where, behind the scenes, A may dislike B and B may dislike A, but C just loves both A and B. I think that's so cool!

This would be very unlikely to happen at an NT forum.

It suggests to me that at AFF, when A IM's C with a boatload of character assassination and says, "Oh, B is just so horrible and I hate him, please help me be hateful toward him", C instead relies on his own experience with B rather than joining in on A's little "let's you and me hate him game."

Aspie Virtue in blossom. Big Grin

Why don't we have those red-faced Blushing Emoticons? I could use one about now... Big Grin
