Is it a myth or not that women dislike us?

A lot of members here seem to have trouble to understand the concept of "probability" and "standard deviation".

They also deny some biological facts.

They talk as if each member of humanity (whatever the sex) has a totally unique set of mating preferences, as if no preferences overlap between the majority of people of a given sex, they talk as if the deviation is infinite.

If that was true, if every human that much uniquely different from the other.... then AS would not have existed as a diagnosis LOL. Bullying would not have existed, football would not have existed either, commercials would not have any effect...

In all species, members (usually the males) have stuff or do stuff that increase their mating chances. There are desirable and undesirable traits for every non-asexual species on this planet.

The OP's thread can be translated: "Do Aspie men usually have traits which are generally undesirable to a lot of women?"

I think a lot of women these days just have a dislike of men in general.


You can blame feminism for that

^Could one of you chaps please set this guy straight, unless of course this is a commonly held sentiment?

There will always be women who dislike men, and men who dislike women. And there always has been

This state of affairs existed long before feminism.

Feminism (in general terms) gave women the opportunity to achieve more equal footing with men. Therefore, men became less oppressive. Therefore, men acted better towards women. Therefore, women got to know men better as friends. Therefore, women started having a deeper regard towards their male friends because the genders started relating on the basis of equality.

Men became less mysterious to women and vice versa.

Problems frequently arise when men think of women as some unattainable mystery.

It is always useful to define "feminism."

I don't mean the "third wave" sort which speaks of ideas that "men are all rapists," and that the "Patriarchy" is still entrenched in "western" societies and is an inevitable part of existence.

My definition of "feminism" is the sort which advocates for de facto, not just de jure, equality amongst the genders in all facets (e.g., equal pay for equal responsibility), while acknowledging that there are differences amongst the genders, and that "variety is the spice of life."

Duh... I hate these threads. When I was younger, full on debauchery always seemed to do the trick. Drink, smoke, partys...then at least if someone does like you, you're easy to approach. Damn it some of you need to freak out a little.
got that off my chest!

I was always too square and nerdy to party, smoke, drink, etc. That's my excuse.....

People with Aspergers have to tell others that they have Aspergers.
More men have Aspergers than women.
I act the way I do because I have Aspergers.
I do not mean to be rude, arrogant, condescending, it is because I have Aspergers.

More women have Asperger's (and autism) than what is represented by the official figures.
