I just figured that moving to a part of the country where there could be greater concentrations of liberal, South Park-loving Aspie women would make more sense than staying in Wichita Falls and approaching random females and asking them to "stop being conservative".

That seems to make sense then; Texas doesn't sound like the best place for a single, liberal man. Where would you be interested in moving to?

I heard about Rohnert Park (the town where SSU is located) having 15% of its population practicing cannibalism, so I changed my mind immediately about that school.

Tim

Cannibalism? I've never heard that one. Would you consider San Francisco State?

I am not sure if the deadline has passed or not, and I can't afford it. So I'm pretty much stuck in Wichita Falls.

My chances of finding a liberal, South Park-loving Aspie woman is zero.

All the places I want to move to are too expensive, and the deadlines have passed at all the schools in those areas.

At the moment, possibly.

However, as a graduate, you'll be able to find many relocation possibilities. You could take a job anywhere, or go to grad school at one of the areas you mention.Perhaps things aren't perfect now, but with planning and paitence, you should be able to make it happen.

There's nothing wrong that I'm doing. I am one of the most mature, responsible, insightful, people on here, and I get rejected simply because of my geographical location.

None of the West Coast states were cheap as far as college tuition, but the one that was the cheapest (a nice $59,000 total, not per year), and where I can still apply in a reasonable amount of time was Hawaii. And I don't think there are many Aspie women there.

Update: The deadlines for all the colleges on the West Coast, outside of Hawaii, have passed.

So it looks like I am pretty much stuck in Texas, possibly permanently. By the time I graduate, the entire West Coast will be permanently out of my price range. And the only way I will be able to find a liberal Aspie woman is to go to the nearest support group, which is 100 miles from my school--assuming one of the women in that group is single--and ask her to abandon her conservative beliefs.

Hmm, well I've never lived in the states, but I have lived in both the most conservative and the most liberal province in Canada. I don't find the people to be different from each other, except for who they vote for, and even then, there's not much of a margin. People are the same in every city, and by that I mean they're different from each other.
What if you took a short trip to San Fran, maybe you would feel better.

I like the idea of traveling to San Francisco, Seattle, or any other liberal place. But it's the Aspie women who are limiting themselves to people who already live in those places.

I'm sensing a lot of anxiety here. Tim, relax, take a step back and take a deep breath. It seems to me that you're stuck in a place that I can't even begin to fathom, and that must suck. Now you posted originally that you were looking elsewhere because of the class schedule not allowing you to work next semester and causing financial difficulties or something, but every post since that has been about the lack of women. So I think you need to prioritize, give some thought to what you really want and what you're willing to sacrifice for it, because it seems to me that any choice you make is going to cost you something, whether it's money, convenience, extra years spent in college, or chances with women. So the question is, what do you want, and how far are you willing and able to go for it?

The only reason female Aspies won't date me is my geographical location.

I don't think Aspie women are that simple-minded.

Then what else could it be about me that makes them not want to date me?

I wouldn't want to date a guy who lived 100 miles away, personally.

I also notice you stated you were overweight. I can't tell from your pic, so I don't know how much, but if it's significant you may wish to consider working on that. Being overweight is like being a smoker, in that some won't mind, but it will definitely limit your options.
