| This is actually a very common aspergirl trait. Here is a list of female asperger symptoms: http://help4aspergers.com/pb/wp_a58d4f6a/wp_a58d4f6a.html This trait is described in the first column, about halfway down. I know that I wanted very badly to be a boy most of my childhood. I still envy men in... |

| Oh, I'm not afraid where I am. In a large part because I took martial arts for many years and am always "on guard" so to speak. I know how to walk around confidently and exude the air of "I know what I'm doing, where I'm going, etc." Also I carry a knife and I have my heavy u-lock on hand when bikin... |

| Just be less feminine, more tomboyish. I don't necessarily TRY to be less attractive; I am just such a tomboy and can't be bothered with all those time consuming things that women do. Things like: shaving (especially not shaving your legs. that turns a lot of men off), wearing makeup, straightening/... |

| I wish I was a boy! Their clothes are so much more practical, sturdy, and comfy. Plus big pockets! I am a tomboy (hiker, sailor, swimmer, camper, big-time biker outdoorsy chick who also blows glass, welds, does carpentry, uses power tools etc.) so I need to wear practical clothing all the time. I ty... |

| Yep yep! two things: weed and food. (well also getting buzzed or drunk but I don't like to do that very often) Found out about 4 years ago that I am allergic to gluten, dairy, and eggs. After doing raw detox diet for 2-3 years, I feel way better physically then at any other time in my life, which ha... |

| Yes and no. I don't mind loud noise, I just can't hear anything! When there is any sort of auditory "chatter" (like a loud fan, or music playing loudish) I can't hear make out anything people are saying. I have perfectly good hearing, I just can't "pick out" other sounds in ambient noise. I don't ha... |

| I LOVE being nakie! My parents are uber-hippies and I grew up in a yurt in the woods. When I was a kid, I would run around nakie all the time! I would take baths with my parents too! So much fun! I still see my dad, mom, and sister naked on a regular basis when I come back home. I live in the woods ... |

When I was younger (middle school, early high school) I would get intense crushes on all these people. Because of my social issues, I convinced myself that romantically nothi... |

| A GROUP? you want to fit into a GROUP? Let me tell you something from experience, buddy. Groups suck. Or at least the organized, labeled ones. Or cliques. Or any sort of grouping that rotates around some common ground other then liking to hang out with each other. Don't get me wrong, for some people... |

I've found that generally a smile and a positive attitude will be well recieved and I've had to practice those often enough that they aren't too hard now - pretty much come naturally most of the time. I sometimes do the jokester thing too if I s... |

Once agreed to go on a date with a complete stranger and didn't even realize it! Luckily it turned out fine, he was weird and I never saw him again. Have ... |
