Trolling doesn't count. But keep trying anyway. Smile

RE: Why do Aspie Males Often Struggle With Dating and Relationships

As sg1008 pointed out, we seem to pursue our interests with more gusto than NTs (at least that's the only difference I can discern). It totally blows my mind, but some people out there seem to have no real interests at all. I can't imagine aspies would be exempt from that.

I think some Aspies may try to use persuit of typical NT-acceptable interests to persue somebody.  It soon comes out that they're not really into the subject they're talking about for they know little about the subject or the nuances.  Sports could be the most obvious example.

Sports is one example of a totally acceptable NT special interest.  I've combed through countless personals which express a passion for sports; or more specifically a particular sports team.  It's almost as if the sports team is her religion.

Because people with Aspergers don't have a clue in **** hell about the girls who just go on quoting Shakespeare with them


But if the girls are quoting Shakespeare WITH them, as you said above, surely there's no problem?  Since they then seem to have the same interests?  It would only be a problem if one is quoting TO the other and the other does not reciprocate.  Or am I missing some vital point here?

To be ruled by tradition just means that you're letting yourself be outvoted by the dead.

Do they? I never did. Perhaps no one else here did either.
Sounds to me that you are mistaking having Asperger's for being a complete ***.
Don't worry mate, when your balls drop and you get a man's voice the girls may look at you a bit differently. That is unless there is anything personality wise holding you back. You think there may be? I think we both know the answer to this don't we Jimmy?


Well mate, I think you've got it all wrong. My voice was so deep people couldn't understand me. But well, when you consider that One Direction and Justin Bieber are the most popular boys on the planet, I guess what you mean is that a high-pitched girl's voice is what girls find most attractive, is that right?


One Direction and Justin Beiber? I have no real idea of them apart from the fact that they are singers of some description. I only know this much because my daughter tells me some girls at her school like them. I don't know more than this about them. YOu though have implied they have high pitch voices and are popular?

I have you down for a fan of both.

As to what most girls find attractive? Don't know, I suspect I never really did. I don't have the angst though that you seem to. I have always been just me and met along the way enough girls who have liked me for me.

You claim to have asperder's so you tell us? Or do you think it will be asill informed and ignorant as your Shakespeare quoting episode or maybe your getting carted from school incident.
Can't relate? Because you are not on the spectrum are you Jimmy?
