Good places for Asperger's men to meet women

What alternatives do you suggest? I'm not saying that people have to go without the intention of enjoying the activity or place, I'm saying what would be a more suitable place for someone on the spectrum to meet a person without going to a nightclub or browsing on a dating website.

How's your lovelife, Wolfheart?

science & surplus stores, thats how you find the true dorks!!

yea thats pretty much what i said. Though i think everyone should try it once well before throwing it off. Ill say going by yourself is miserable but with a couple of friends it makes things much easier.

Yes,I agree,nightclubs were a terrible experience for me .

good point.

however, i think everyone should be doing some form of volunteer work and joining clubs or community events as part of developing their social skills and contributing to their community and networking and making friends etc. basically, even if someone is doing online dating they will lead a better and richer life if they get out and do stuff.

so there are other reasons, but if i go and recommend it in the "Social Skills and Making Friends" or "Work and Finding a Job" sections, i will get answers like, "i don't need friends." or, "i am an aspie and i find it too awkward to socialise." or, "i don't see the point in networking when hiring should be based on skill level only." or, "there are no volunteer opportunities within a 100 mile radius of me."

you don't have to join clubs or volunteer just to date. pick and choose from many of the other reasons.

for people who are somewhat coordinated, there is the option of other forms of dance. my hip hop dance class is made up entirely of women. but one third of the class is single (and under 25). a couple of the older women have adult daughters too. beginner classes are geared towards n00bs so it isn't so hard that people would be too intimidated (i mean, i failed P.E. in high school ).

If his avatar is a picture of him, I'd imagine it's not too bad.

Strip clubs and brothels.

I'm not kidding or trying to be funny or look cool; I'm dead serious. In all my 30 years the best and most relaxed interaction I've had with women was at strip clubs. Realize that a great deal of guys that patronize strip clubs are douchebags, while we tend to be the nice ones. So the dancers appreciate us as a breath of fresh air. And yes, they are after your wallet... but that's a better scenario to be in than one where you never know what to say or who to say it to, and everything feels awkward, wrong, and unwanted, and where, for all you know, the other party COULD have an agenda to be after your wallet.

While I post from the USA where brothels exist legally in only one state, strip club workers are often willing to meet for dates outside the clubs. And I know a lot of WP members live in parts of the world where this sort of thing is not so stigmatized.

I've quoted Mindslave because the passage below would be greeted at a strip club not with dirty looks, but a hug.

Check out "Problem Child," my published memoir of life with autism.

I would say at a community college that is if you go to a community college.

Hate to burst your bubble, but it's David Duchovny of "X-Files" fame.

Actually, that's Wolfheart. He just looks like David Duchovny in that picture.

I've been told I look like the guy from the X files a couple of times now, he is a bit fairer than I am. I wish I had his job, I'm always happy to have a cam or voice chat on Skype.

Sounds like a great idea, some of the parks in Cleveland look amazing. Sounds like a good idea for one of our UK Wrong Planet meet up groups, I don't think a BBQ in Buckingham Palace Gardens would go down too well though.

Wolfheart is like a hotter version of Keanu Reeves lol

I thought it was Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left Right, A, B, A ?
