Why facepalm?

Why facepalm?

Maybe not a good idea to post a advert asking for a young lady, it might make people think the wrong ideas about you. Please do bear in mind that wrong planet is not a pick up joint, singles bar, dating agency etc etc.

Use the "eligible oddbods" sticky thread. Also, it's "you're".

Welcome to WP sensational76...

I'm afraid to tell you this but.... I doubt anybody does dating here.

HOWEVER, I can suggest you get to know the people here and get to know one another and then if she has attractions to you and you have attractions to her, then you got yourself a deal.

Happy Posting.

My perception of the eligible oddbod thread is that it's not the most useful thing. Why not have a thread just putting yourself out there? Is it against the rules? I'm okay with it. A female poster did the same the other day and the replies were mostly positive... weird huh?

Good luck sensational76.

Heh, well, that's because males are icky, I would guess.

QFT

Its not that he's a male, its what he has written is a dating ad, and this is not a place to advertise yourself. Yeah the female got more attention, probably because so many desperate males cared more about getting a date as opposed to the incorrect use of the forum.

The reason it's a "facepalm" is because there are so many more single male aspies here, and no-one ever replies to these dating ads when a guy writes them.

I know how a lot of people moan about aspie affection, but there is a reason it's there.

I was pointing to the double standard. No one went in her thread and wrote '/facepalm' and the like. Just kind directions to the designated thread (eligible oddbods) and then a bunch of friendly interest.

To be honest, I'm more interested in creative and meaningful uses of forums than correct ones, so I'm not that fussed that he's infringed some unwritten rule or standard behavior form that he and I are unaware of. Perhaps if it's such an issue there could be a sticky/FAQ/'read this first' notice that covers such things.

I agree, for unwritten rules are bound to be "broken" many times on a website dedicated to those on the autistic spectrum. There are some that can detect such things, but there are probably more that need to know all the dos & don'ts. Seriously.

This may be true. However, this is the 21st century. It's not like the old days, when people could buy a paper subscription to the dating want ads and see a bunch of profiles in there. I'm more than confident that there's more going on behind the scenes of this forum that what people want to admit - meaning there's a number of people I'd venture to guess who could see WP as a "pick up joint" and such. There's various ways to meet people, and this forum is just one of them to whomever sees it that way.

I met a previous girlfriend through a forum similar to this one, but wasn't oriented towards AS or NT. She found my posts intriguing to read. The more I posted, the more intrigued she became. One day, she had enough and then chose to contact me. I read what she wrote, became exclusive with her over time, and enjoyed my relationship with her. She was also the same person who diagnosed me officially as AS and AD/HD.

Eventually, she chose to end her relationship with me. Back then, I thought what she did was very unfair. As I reflect upon that experience, I am glad she chose to terminate the relationship. Doing so gave me the freedom I needed to adjust to living with AS and AD/HD. Had she chosen to keep the relationship going, I have no idea how my learning to live with both at the same time would have affected it (she was going through her own challenges at the time).

Allowing me to discover myself with AS and AD/HD was my "silver lining" from the closure of the relationship. Personally, I am all for people to meeting others in whatever way is possible. I don't care what any two people do, provided it does not harm or hurt anyone - including themselves. If meeting people through here is an opportunity to be explored, I say, "Go for it!"

Now, I'm more than confident in knowing that eventually I'll meet a woman who will be glad that I took the time to learn to adjust living with AS and AD/HD, while liking and loving myself in the process. I feel very good where I am in my life right now, and am excited to seeing how the future unfolds for me.
