Are there any female WP members in Minnesota?

Well its been awhile since I posted in this thread so I might as well update my profile in here lol.

I'm 21, will be 22 in March.
Found out I have even more crap wrong with me then I had before, but living through it all. (one being type 2 diabetes)
Starting to lose weight and eat better due to the diabetes.
Oh if you didn't guess, I am a female...I'm pretty sure on that one.
I am a christian, a pastor's kid, but I'm not perfect. I've done my share of dumb things, but never to extreme.
I love drawing when I can or feel like it. I mainly draw movie characters and such.
I'm a movie buff so I enjoy almost any kind of movie. My favorites being Pirates of the Caribbean Series and the Twilight Saga.
I'm also very fond of the Joker from The Dark Knight.
I seem to always fall for the bad or distrubed guy in movies. I never think of them as totally bad, but needing someone to help them change.
I'm not like this all the time though, I deeply hate Lord Cutler Beckett in POTC DMC and POTC AWE. Happily watched him die and I think I even cheered in the theater.
I have cried to some movies. Toy Story 3 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 were the latest for me to cry to.
I'm a big fan of Disney and hope to go to Walt Disney World again in the future. I've been there 3xs.
My favortie shows range from the girly to the manly.
I love watching shows such as The Vampire Diaries, TLC shows like Say Yes To The Dress, and then to shows like Human Target, Ghost Hunters, etc.
I have never been in a relationship with anyone. I'm still waiting for the right guy to come along and me or him approch the other.
I do have AS which makes this as many of you all know harder to do.
I try to be myself and not try to impress to attract a guy.
I'm pretty nerdy I guess with my movie knowledge and such.
I wear tshirts with movie characters on them like all the time or some shirt with a saying on it be it a christian saying or something along the lines of 'I smile because I have no idea what is going on.' Thats how I show my love for things is through a tshirt or some other means.
I don't have any tattoos, I hate needles.
I'm on the computer alot, I'm shy, but open up pretty quickly if I like a person.
I try to be honost all the time and tell the truth no matter what.
I guess I'm a good listener or at least someone to talk at to get things off your chest.
I keep trying to get a job with Petsmart...I hate thier system of computer only applications.
I love animals, espically cats and dogs. I'm not afraid of snakes, I like them. (I once had one almost go down the back of my shirt. The ppl around me were waiting for me to freak out and asked if I was ok. I calmly said yeah).
My friends seem to always be younger then me, but I do have some that are older.
I try to be kind and loving as much as possible, even when ppl are being jerks.
I do enjoy Halloween alot and the freedom to get to dress up in a costume and be someone your not.
I also love Christmas, the snow, the music, the feelings, the celebration, and the knowledge of being saved.
Something that I'm very excited about thats coming up is that next year in April I get to go and see My Chemical Romance preform live in concert for the first time in my life!! Can't wait and experience that XD
Many things about me can't be even thought of at this time or not able to write all in one post. So if your interested please pm me.

I'm still single since I last posted. Shocking ehh

Hi.

I'm 36 year old female living just north of Wellington, New Zealand. I've never been in a "proper" relationship before but would like to give it a try if I ever meet the right guy (which hasn't happened in RL, so I thought I'd try using the Interweb). I'm currently in the process of getting a diagnosis of whether or not I have AS.

Likes: computers, sci-fi, music, mysteries/crime, interior design, architecture, cryptic crosswords
Dislikes: sports, having dirty hands, bad smells
Other random stuff: I live with my parents, I'm a graphic designer, I'm not particularly religious (although I do believe in God), I don't smoke, I drink occasionally

If anyone wants to PM me, feel free.

Is there a person (crazy enough or open-minded enough), here, able to talk with this kind of guy?!

I don't know if I mentioned this but I have never in my life had one girlfriend or even a flirt. Also I have never had sex. Is anyone else in the same boat as me

37-year-old guy in Minneapolis, MN, USA. Daytime I wrangle web-servers into stalemate if not complete cooperation. Evening-times I make music with an ever-changing cast of characters.

I like: to write and perform music, of the folk, roots, and classical varieties; to extract chuckles from bystanders through wit or foolishness; to cook and eat wonderful food; and to play with written language. I have hair-trigger curiosity about an assortment of random topics mostly unrelated to improving one's "status" in the world, whatever that might mean.

I love my electric cello, but not to pieces; that would be counterproductive. I have a particularly high aptitude with music, which is surprising seeing that it puts me in prime sensory overload territory from time to time. I find though that life on stage is sheltered somewhat from the chaos off stage, so it works all right most of the time.

I enjoy literature of the type that makes you question whether the author is the greatest sage of all time, or else the most skilled con-artist in history--maybe because I have a hard time mind-reading people's motivations, even in writing.

I don't watch much television, and I rarely go to movies, because I'm very distracted by unrelated sensory input (cellphones, talking, kids grabbing my hair, people crammed too close together).

Officially diagnosed on the spectrum (Aspie) two years ago though I knew since childhood that something didn't match up with NT expectations. Through constant support of parents and friendly folk, even when they didn't know what they _should_ be doing to help, I've managed to put on a mask of semi-NT aptitude, though I still seem to have a bit more trouble with social interaction than the average office-dweller.

I'd really like to meet folk in the area friendly towards this geeky mindset, with a particular interest in female people. Not interested in forcing something extra-special to happen, but I am curious whether interaction is any easier with someone on or friendly to the spectrum, and I could honestly use some practice conversing with people, "success" or "failure" by any measure aside.

where do you live?

Name: Sophist
Real name: Emily
Age: 29
Height: 5'6"
Build: slim-to-average

About my picture: I normally do smile, but I was on vacation and had just gotten a haircut and was more interested in taking a good picture of my hair (to show my stylist back home so she could try to replicate it) than to take a "happy" picture. Although I always do feel awkward smiling on camera, but that's only on camera.

Attributes:

1) I'm aware I'm considered attractive, although looks fade and I try not to let it define me. Granted, it's a bonus in the match making game, but that's about it. So, while looks are important for physical attraction, it's not what really matters because there's PLENTY of attractive people out there. --Don't get me wrong, I'm picky. But I'm not super-model six-pack kind of picky. If my partner's body makes it above my "acceptable" level but our personalities click like crazy, well then he's the sexiest man on earth, no doubt about it.

2) I'm intelligent. (This will also go under "flaws" below because it's often made it more difficult to get to know people too. Apparently I can be "difficult to reach" or intimidating.)

3) I'm told I'm pretty damn funny, although in writing, such as on here, I come across more serious.

4) I'm mature. While I love the kid in me, the age range I tend to have the most in common with in a social sense is usually middle age. I do love to kid around, play, and be downright bawdy, but with respect to life, how it's lived and planned for, I'm pretty middle aged. I was never much of a teenager and the 20s, I don't really know what that was about.

5) I'm definitely a one-man woman. When I love, I fall hard or not at all. So if you've caught me, you've got me.

6) I seem to understand guys, especially nerdy guys, pretty well. There's definitely motivational differences between the sexes and I like to think I've learned some pretty major things about relationships that have made it far easier to communicate with my partner.

7) I'm BIG on communication. Yes, guys, that does include feelings. It's about honesty, it's about respect, and it's about working towards a common goal. We won't always agree, but it's important that when we don't, both of us know how to cooperate. I'll give my half, you give yours. For the record, my mother was a therapist and so I was raised with the tenants of good communication and fair fighting. As far as my own communication, I take a lot of time to try and work through my thoughts and feelings. If there's something important that needs to be discussed, sometimes I may prefer to write it out rather than say what I need to say face-to-face because I want to say precisely what I mean. That doesn't mean we won't talk in person, but some things I just need to write out and we can discuss afterwards. One of my quirks. I also find it less confrontational for both parties.

8) I'm honest and pretty down-to-earth. This is something people have told me they value in me.

Flaws:

1) I'm stubborn. When I latch onto an idea, I have a hard time not following through. Which may mean that when you want me to just drop it, I have a hard time doing it. I can tend to be the you-run-away-and-I-follow type. But if you're able to say to me, "Babe, I need some cave time. We can discuss this but I'm feeling overwhelmed right now," then I can respect that. When I see a problem, I have this incessant desire to try and work through it until it feels "fixed". This can drive some guys nuts, especially if it has to do with feelings. But if you can be patient and communicative, I can be respectful of your boundaries too so that you don't feel overwhelmed. Tit for tat.

2) Sometimes I can be egocentric. At other times I can be a total caretaker to the point I forget to take care of myself. I have a harder time finding a good balance between these two things. Finding a partner who's both patient of some of my self-centeredness but also knows how not to take advantage of my willingness to give all of myself to him would be a good match for me.

3) Intelligent. Like I said above, this isn't always a good thing.

4) This isn't so much a flaw, but it's something that you need to know. I was with a guy for the last couple years and I'm still going through relationship crap with him even though we're separated. It's a confusing situation and I know that I'm not ready for dating or anything serious. But I also know that reunion with him won't happen. So I'm just looking to find some potential matches, get to know each other, but nothing serious for now. It's still going to be a fair amount of time, given the complicated situation, before I can feel like I'm really ready to move on. So I just want to be upfront about that.

As far as location, I'm in Kentucky, US, and am not necessarily looking for anyone nearby. I'm currently in graduate school and the likelihood that I'll be moving again for a postdoc position in a couple years is an almost certainty. So I have no intention of making my home here. Therefore I don't have a problem getting to know people who aren't within a reasonable driving distance.

What I'm looking for in a guy: Education is important to me. I want a guy who can match me in conversation and interests. Intelligence kinda goes without saying. A match in senses of humor is imperative. And I must find him attractive, even though my ideas of handsomeness aren't always conventional, but sorry in advance if it just doesn't click for me! (And of course the same in reverse, if I don't click for you.) Maturity is also important. Responsibility and reliability. I prefer to be with someone who has a definite and well-laid career path ahead of him. I also plan on being highly successful in my field, so I'd prefer someone who may be capable of matching that; I'd like to avoid male ego and competition: if I'm bringing in the bigger bucks, I don't like to deal with male metaphoric castration. As for age range, 30-45 is okay. As for height, I do kinda have a thing for guys within the 6'0"-6'4" range. And, importantly, I probably don't want to have any children. Not that I wouldn't enjoy being a mother (and god knows my hormonal clock feels like it's already ticking away, making me go "awww" at babies that would normally have made me cringe in my younger years) but I'm definitely dedicated to my career and taking that kind of time out to have kids would be detrimental.

Most importantly, I want a guy who's capable of being tender, and who isn't so wrapped up in himself that he takes me for granted. Some down-to-earth humility would be nice.

Anyways, that's a bit about me and a bit more about what I'm looking for. If you're interested, please PM me. I don't imagine I'll be checking back through this thread too thoroughly.

I gave up the big font a couple years back.
