| Hello, all. Apologies if this topic has been addressed elsewhere, but don't browse or post here very often. This is a personal essay I wrote detailing, as best I can, how exactly I fit onto the spectrum. Can you relate? I wonder how many of us fit this framework vs. the traditional "theory of m... |

| To be virgin at age 30 or so, like some people here, is nothing to be ashamed of. I think society puts too much pressure on the whole thing and that image is being overrated. Those who just go have one night stands solely out of fear to be a "30 year old virgin" IMO have a bigger issue than those w... |

| Sadly I can't help put a premium on physical attraction. Not that she has to be a knockout but there has to be something to look at or I won't be at all interested. I think someone else hit it on the head when they said a lot of Aspie guys have this quality due to emotional immaturity. Of course, ph... |

| What am I not getting? You obviously know that decades of acting desperate didn't work. At any rate I'm glad you found someone. |

| Part of the male perspective, and/or aspie male perspective, which obviously differs greatly from what I'm hearing from Orbyss: Why is so-called "desperation" so scary? Men think of it like commerce, in a way. You, as a woman, have something to sell: your love, your attention, and yes, sex...to a m... |

| If looking desperate is so obvious, what does it mean to look desperate? In particular, I'm not sure if I can see the distinction between looking interested in a possible relationship and looking desperate. I've tried not looking interested and not talking to strangers and that hasn't got me anywhe... |

| And yes, the fact that you're a woman does make it different. As Bill Maher says, there is a double standard because their are two sexes. Men and women are very different and have completely different attitudes toward sex. Well, but you have to consider why they're different. Is it nurture or natur... |

| I think what I'm saying, here, albeit in a more convoluted way, is that a desperate man is almost always obvious, and that desperation sends most women -- at least myself and those I've known -- running for the hills. Exactly! That's the point I was making before about stigmas and about prolonged v... |

| Losing your virginity was utterly insignificant to you because you lost it at twenty, which is just about the perfect age to lose it--not too old but not too young either. What if you had waited ten or fifteen years? Would you still feel the same way? Is this to me? If so, if I'd waited, it would h... |

| I think I should get castrated before I "lose my mind" and forced to go to the same lengths as dtoxic or Aspie1. Not saying everyone else should, though. Why? I don't know about Aspie1, but dtoxic meant a sympathetic woman who helped him and is now his girlfriend. I don't see the problem and I don'... |

Are you saying this thread has now become childish and shallow, or the stuff in the adult forum now? |
