Eligible Odd-Bods! - The Premier Aspergian Singles List

Post Reply New Topic

I was going to quote you in my reply, but I didn't want to Bogard the board. Nursing school sucks the life from your soul. I had the good fortune of working 2 jobs throughout most of my schooling, which meant I had to stop working out and seeing friends almost entirely. For someone who really struggles to MAKE friends to begin with, that was hard. I have a few friends who are at IU Med. School now, and every aspect of their life is regimented. Like, if something happens and they don't get to do laundry on Tuesday, they won't get a chance to do their laundry until next Tuesday.

I experienced a LOT of students, interns, and residents during my nursing clinical rotations. I love how analytical they get to be...putting together pieces of a puzzle in order to fix a problem. Unfortunately, some of them do have AWFUL bedside manners, and seem to be entirely lacking compassion, even if they are brilliant. Many really like to talk down to their patients and use a lot of medical jargon, without explaining the core of the person's problem. That's why MY job is so important...I get to clean up in the wake of doctors.

Good luck w/school. What year are you in?

Actually I'm trying to get in right now going through the admissions process (interviews coming up preparing by just thinking out loud my responses and having some written down as well). As for bedside manners I've seen doctors and nurses during my volunteering that have decent bedside manners I haven't seen anyone that tries to play mind games with patients (Dr. House). As for making friends I found out that my friends made sure that they completed their education and I learned that I must do the same. I'm hoping not to turn into an ice cube during interviews (hence recording myself to correct problems that may pop up).

OK, I'll give it a go. I'm single and 26 years of age. I work at Little Sisters of the Poor. I'm hoping to go back to school. At this moment I just live with my dad and 2 cats. I love to talk about topics and have interests such as sketching, astrology, research, music, piano, stories, and etc. I don't know what I'm looking for in a guy except that maybe he shares some of these interests and has a respect for himself and me. I've never been on a single's list so this is akward. Just thought I'd try it out.

Hello This isn't really a singles list although it's made to be one. It's really more of a friends list but on another note what stories are you interested in?

Ok.. I say things that are "out of line" alot, but never anything "mean". One of my biggest personality traits (whether you would like to believe it or not) is my caring side to those who mean a lot to me. Even though some of my ideas are well, you know, not exactly "socially acceptable", that doesnt make them "wrong".. Im a huge fan of what really goes on, the "truth". Since when are any of us aspies "socially acceptable" anyway? And if you cant have fun with some of the things I say, then chances are we cant mingle. Same goes if you cant ever take me seriously. Im a great listener but a not so good communicator sometimes, so if your a chatter box Im sure things will work out great . I live with other aspies in a real home and I have a real life and we support ourselves and each other equally. So if you just want to forget about your problems and take it easy for the rest of your days, and have lots of fun too, then I would consider hooking up with me. If you dont want to give me a chance thats your problem

I've been looking for a template to steal here and chouchou's is without a doubt the most appealing, so I'll give this a shot.

Real Name: Cian
Gender: M
Ethnicity: One side Irish, other side French-Canadian
Age: 21
Height: 6'2"
Hair: Brown, currently about two and a half inches near the top?

Location: Republic of Ireland
Occupation: Student
Personality Type: I don't bother with these anymore.
Political Orientation: Very left-wing, but more quiet about that than I was as a teenager
Orientation: Straight (more or less)
Diagnosis: Yes, at a young age

Description: I am a mathematics student in third year. I became interested in this site through our shared experience with autism, but I'm not sure how long I'll stay around. My hope is to go into academia. I spend my days largely either talking to people on the internet or working in college. I do not smoke, drink or do any drugs.

The only picture I have online here is my avatar pic. I am not allowed to post any more pictures for a few days. I may come back later and post a couple more pictures when I am eligible to do so, but I am usually self-conscious in front of cameras so most pictures don't turn out so great.

Interests/Hobbies: When I get myself focused, which is not something I'm completely consistent about but nonetheless able to do, there is nothing I enjoy more than seeing a big mathematical system come together - like the Galois theory I'm working on now, where I am gradually figuring out how to deduce whether certain polynomials of degree greater than four are solvable by radicals. As a teenager I was not just interested in mathematics but also in writing. I may yet go back to writing as a diversion from my own studies if I ever manage to stop devoting this much time on the internet. I do read occasionally. I am very interested in music listening, especially popular music, to which I have devoted a great deal of time. I don't care for most television shows or movies, though I do enjoy the odd series or movie if I find the storyline memorable. Unlike music, where I could spend the entire day speaking of my favourites, I could not say what my favourite movies are.

Traits I Value: Being strong-willed and ambitious. I like someone who I feel I can argue with on issues that are not personal without them ever becoming personal. At least one shared interest is always nice as well, and would serve as a good foundation for a friendship.

dunno who this template belongs to, but whoever you are, thanks

Real Name: Joana
Gender: Female and very proud
Ethnicity: Causasian, portuguese
Age: 16
Looks: about 5'3', brownish hair, hazel eyes that kinda look green when the sun hits them the right way, a nice face I'm not overweight but I'm a bit chubby (I'd say more to love)


Location: Lisboa, Portugal
Occupation: High-school student
Personality Type: I'm more than a few adjectives
Political Orientation: Ahm...not sure at all. I'd say left-wing. Is feminism a political orientation?
Orientation: more or less straight
Diagnosis: don't have one, suspected PDD-NOS or similar

Description: Most people would describe me as odd. I have some difficulty making friends (no problem with keeping them )and relating to people. Social interaction between people my age is incomprehensible to me. Actually, most of the world is incomprehensible to me. I tend to shut down and visit my fantasy land every once in a while. I think alot about everything (I tend to overanalyse), and frequently my views don't meet other peoples'. But I'm nice ^^

Interests/Hobbies: My two biggest passions are writing and music. I love to write short stories and plan on writing a book in the near future. I love being able to create my own world and making characters go through pain and emotions and have them deal with the world, each in their own way (I'm a bit of a Naturalist). I've been exposed to music ever since I was very young and I can't live without all kinds of music - I have a preference for brit indie rock (Kooks, Babyshambles, Libertines, Bloc Party, Pigeon Detectives), but I love anything that can make me dance, (electro rock and house) feel and think (anything else alternative, soul and jazz). I also love to stroll around Lisbon, I love finding its little corners and shops.

Traits I Value: Down-to-earthness, tolerance and intelligence, in a variety of different ways.

I'm not really looking for a boyfriend, more for an e-pal or something...someone to talk to.

If I were looking for a bf, I have to say I'm a sucker for accents

I'm a seventeen year old, and I consider myself to be far above average when it comes to intelligence.
I try to be modest, but the Aspie in me can sometimes screw that up.
I live in Northern Indiana.
I'm a junior in high school.
I'm also an aspiring filmmaker.
I'm a gigantic film buff, and I'm pretty hip to the indie scene.

I'm looking for a female who's kind and maybe a bit shy.
She has to have an open mind about life in general. (When it comes to film, I'm really into surrealism and cult classics)
I want someone who won't care about looks, and wants a match based solely on personality.
I really don't want a long-distance relationship.
Shallow people make me angry.
I want someone that I can have an intimate relationship with without the drama and the BS.
I'm sure my pic looks a bit childish, but that's just my face.
I tend to be kind of a romantic.
I guess I would enjoy cuddling...
Haha never tried.
If I had, I wouldn't be posting on this board would I?

I'm a virgin, and I respect the wishes of members of the opposite sex when it comes to intimacy.
I don't believe in sex after marriage (joke).
I have no plans to wait until marriage.
I would prefer another virgin, but really, if you don't have an STD, you're fine.
I'm very open about myself and my secrets to anyone who wants to know.

I appreciate you reading this.
Please send me a message if you're interested and live in my area.
Hey, even if you just want to be friends, that's ok.

--Basic Info--
Name: Ben
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Geographic Location: Just outside of Omaha, Nebraska
Mental Location: All over the place/where I feel safe
Orientation: Straight, so girls only
If interested: PM me

--Description--
Personality: Teen with an extremely free-spirited imagination. I'm a virgin, and I want it to stay that way until further notice (further notice will take place after marriage, if at all). If you know what I mean, my imagination embarasses me, causing me to act all tough at school and other places. I would like to get rid of this habit ASAP, because it's done nothing but terrible for me. I might soften up on the outside through a relationship (just a theory).

Interests: Computers, video games, and rock music

--Criteria--
Location: I may be able to handle long distance relationships, as long as you're in the US. Just try getting to know me if you think I'll work, because I don't know whether I can handle long distance myself, so just try stuff. If things change to where I can't handle long distance, I will edit this at a later time.

Personality: Doesn't have to be exactly the same, but somehow similar to the description I put about myself

Interests: Doesn't matter

Orientation: Any orientation that enables you (as a girl) to be comfortable with me. I'm not homophobic.

Age: The big important characteristic. 14-17 years old.

That's it. PM me if you are interested

I'm new here, PM me if you want to say hi

Anyone from Tucson, AZ?
