Do You Want To Be Cool

Post Reply New Topic

No.

especially in the summer, it gets hot and humid... i have to buy a few more box fans.

if you're meaning normal than I've always wanted to be like that but i think the most important thing to be is your self and nothing else

I am cool! In my own weird world. I am a cool freak.

I'm very "Un-cool" despite it never being actually defined...
But I'm very materialistic, I buy a ridiculously expensive thing because it has green neon lights on... (all hail my pc case) I think I was a magpie in a former life...

You can be cool even if you're white and nerdy.

At least in my book, being cool doesn't mean you have the latest leather jacket or mobile phone or itouch or whatever.
It's about the vibe you have, your outlook on life, your personal style (this does not mean you need expensive/trendy clothes) etc.

You can be cool for hitchhiking through India or by being the first man on some planet, but you can also be cool for having a certain passion, or being smart or kind or a loner.

Bleh.

Anything and anyone can be cool, you just have to find the people that think so.

Only by my own defintion of the way I want to be. Anyone(almost everyone) who thinks i'm totally uncool can blow meXD!

im cool as frozen oxygen

When i was younger, i tried the whole "fit in" thing, i bought some sort of metal outfit with belts and had long hair, but the clothes were just too cumbersome to wear and i stopped after a while. Later on i tried the EBM look (Short hair, Dr Martens etc), but i lots interest in that too.

(I did not the the point of trying to "fit in" when i hardly ever went out and almost never visited my friends/were visited by my classmates. And sitting in front of the computer 24/7 does not require you to look cool, quite the opposite. I was even kicked from a band because i preferred to stay at home tinkering with my computer, which was good since i then sold my drums and my electric guitar and bought more computer stuff...)

Nowdays, i just wear practical and comfortable clothes that do not look cool - i cannot care less about coolness. I sometimes buy somewhat expensive clothes (when i have the money) because i want quality clothes that lasts a long time.

It seem like NTs and Aspies alike really believe that somehow inner noble qualities is all that is needed. In that case aspies would find it so much easier in the dating game. I think that I high percentage of what make things difficult for aspies is because the lack the so called superficial qualities that NTs have. And yet those NTs who do have those superficial quilted that end up marrying often have healthy, strong marriages and have children too. While 20 percent of aspies never marry or have a long term relationship.

No. It's deeply overrated.

I can't argue with that, it's 100% true IMO.

According to this website we are alien invaders. Now I ask you if you think that is not "cool".

If you are talking about trying to have more appearance but no substance like the average NT then I'm afraid I'll have to decline. Aspies may not get what everyone else wants but what they get beats that of NTs. NTs get the latest PC with all the trimmings so that they can run games on it but only Aspies know how it works, can modify it to its maximum potential and invent new, even more advanced technology based on it. NTs may get all the women but Aspies get the ones who truly understand them and love them deeply.

When you ask what's cool, I'd rather have a life where I get the best quality and not the most quantity. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with "cool" but I think I probably speak for alot of Aspies when I say there's more to life than first appearance.

I tend to be a guy who avoids everything cool because it just seems to attract the wrong feel. I'd rather get the foundations right before I begin painting my house. And one last thing, you sound a little like a walking advertisement. You just list the things rather than spending time explaining them or yourself. You could try posting the features of the products (those that are relavant) so we know a little about what they are.

Sorry if I spoke too much or offended anyone.

My AS is what makes me cool. I worship material things and I am a shopaholic. However I'm also a very spiritual person, to me it isn't contradictory at all.

Having cool clothes and stuff isn't just for the NT people. I actually consider myself cooler than 95% of the NT's, at least.

I am cool... in an Aspie way

I am going to get a t-shirt on which it says "ASPIE" in big, bold letters and I will wear it to school. Anyone who doesn't approve can go to hell.

We are cool in a different way. We don't need materialistic things; it's our interests and true personality that counts. A personality not defined by our wealth, latest gadgets, and mainstream media. I think that is cool, because we are original and different. And it's always cool to be different.

Nearly all the NTs in my office seem to have stable happy relationships to me. What you have said may apply to the beauty of the office but to no one else. I don't think because one is an aspie it actually means the relationship they do get are better then NTs I bet many aspies often end up with multiple short term relationship.

I think that many people pretend to not be superficial but are underneath. Looking the over crowded carpark at work, everyone has nice cars. The 2 sweetest guys have both a BMW 4x4. Only two cars are cheap; one owned by a proud old fashioned man, who doesn't own a TV. And a gay woman, who doesn't need a flash car to impress. O'yes and an old geasa who as seen it done it.
