| This was a fun thread to read! I don't like hanging out with most guys so my friends are usually girls. I think you gals tend to be more empathetic and verbally caring.

| I dont have that. My dreams are so bizarre , i sometimes even dream with my eyes open. which is like sleep paralysis but a bit more bizarre then that. Actually, it is more reflective of your personality structure. So aspergers people dont necessarily have a completely different set of personality t... |

| I'm nvld yes i do, because women tend to be passive aggressive and reading those non verbal signals can be exhausting. I'm also blunt and women find that crass, even if i'm not rude, the lack of emotion is unappealing to them. Which i totally understand, when i meet women that act the way i do, i fi... |
