No, wait, NT women have this whole set of rules about relationships, but one of them clearly is: "if HE doesn't call you after sex, he doesn't like you".....Another one is "don't call him, it looks desperate, wait for him to call or he'll run away"

It looks like I need a book about dating NTs.

All the dating books I have come across have stuff like this, "You need to be kind of a jerk. Didn't you notice that back in high school, the ones who got most of the dates were jerks"
Then again, the book was out of print, so it may not be trustworthy.

I'm with a NT, and it's easy. I've been going out with him for 2 and a half years and we're happy together. At least he's someone who hates clothes shopping like I do! :lol:

If you want to understand NT women, i'd suggest reading the books they read: "how to make him love me back" and such . You will get more info there than in anything written for men.

How can NTs have a conversation and both put on a fake laugh even though they both know both of them are faking? To me it seems like they are trying to avoid normal conversation. I find it amusing sometimes, depends on who's doing it.

Why are people so obsessed with sex? There are many good things about life. I am not saying it is bad. I just don't understand the obsession. Maybe I have
a bad case of AS.

Why do people go further into their joke when you did not get it at first and then moan about the fact that you did not get it and they felt stupid because you answered literaly to them ?

(And why do they feel stupid when you are obviously the one who was not smart enough to get it ?).

Why does it make them even more angry when you are not irritated by them (but laughing) for being hypocritical and moaning to someone elese about how rude you were not to understand their joke ? Shouldn't it be better not to argue when we are so called friends ?

(I do not really mean NT but people who do that).

I do not understand the NT’s maintenance of the expressed contradiction between unnecessary and reflexive cruelty and sentimentality.

I do not understand why people say ''stop moaning'' when I wasn't even moaning.

I don't get:
"...unnecessary and reflexive cruelty and sentimentality"
Can you please enlighten me? I think I understood the first half.

Or, you get their joke, and it wasn't funny, and they still try to explain it to you.

I can't understand the obsession with following sport and the lengthy conversations about the score of a certain game who is winning losing, who scored a goel. Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla.

Talking badly about people behind their back & then nice to that same person's face. Though I'm sure it serves some socio evolutionary purpose because so many of them do it.

They probably felt insulted deep inside by the fact that some people could not see how funny they were. I am trying to be sarcastic but this is actually what a friend told me, it is just the same when you tell them honestly whqat you think of their writing because they thought you would love it and could not stand the honesty they were asking for.

I guess everyone has a tendency to do that, but when it comes to jokes, it is a bit silly to get annoyed by that.
