it was a stupid mistake.
he was the classic 'bad boy' :roll:
i'd take a fat, virgin..whatever else it was...over him anyday.


You didn't know he was a dick when you first met him though - but I'm pretty sure it wasn't his "Aspie-like" qualities that attracted you initially.

Anyway, I'm glad you found something better... :)

no - he was just a bad boy, which is sexy.
point was; there are worse people out there, so aspie-like qualities are waaaay more attractive than scum like him.
once a girl has encountered such a scumbag she appreciates nice boys like a lot of the ones around here.

if you pursue a relationship with this person,
all the time you spend with them will have to be at home.

If you want to go see a movie, you have to pay.
If you want to go out for a meal, you have to pay.
Theatre? You.
Ball game? You.
Money for gas? You.



How about that? Welcome to a guy's dating world ;)

So for the overweight virgins who are unemployed and still living with their parents, doing the best you can to improve your lot in life (job, skills, etc.) will take you much farther than complaining about how nobody loves you.


Very very true.

Yes it is.

But in a way different than what most people assume: money can't buy you a girlfriend, but there's a lot of things it can buy which are almost as good!! :wink:

Almost non of it is true. It's having Aspergers that keeps us single! Not being unemployed or living with your parents! In the UK millions of people are unemployed and about 40% of men (and alot of women too) in the their twenties live with their parents. Are they all single? I know for a fact they aren't and it's just not factual to claim otherwise.

Alright then. Almost the entire population of uk twenty somethings are single! What's the unemployment rate like in the states like these days? I'm sure it numbers in the millions. According to you they're all single? You probably never meet them since there's 2 americas and all (c john edwards) :wink:

Vanishingly rare to the point of practical non-existence, not even worth looking for IMO.


There are a lot of women out there who aren't superficial about income and simply prefer a man who appears confident, upfront and honest. You live in a place that's known to put wealth and plastic surgery as a priority in life. Where you live, men who are upfront, honest and genuinely confident are vanishingly rare to the point of practical non-existence. Some of us live in different places where people behave differently. Where I live, waiters tell people they're waiters, not actors.


1. You watch way too much reality TV. Newsflash: reality TV isn't real.

2. When you describe your "dream man" (whom you have found, and I sincerely congratulate you on that), you are NOT describing an Aspie, you are describing a stereotypical, textbook "Alpha". This isn't the news, it's the weather.

Aspie men are no more in demand where you are than where I am, it has zero to do with geography.

I thought grisha and beth were saying the reason aspie men are single is because they still live with their parents and are unemployed. Maybe i'm wrong?

My point is that loads of nt's are unemployed and/or live with their parents and they all find dates.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but my view is that Aspie guys are usually single because they're Aspie - to a much greater extent than any other factor, including socioeconomic status.
