The Psychological Effects Of Being 'Forever Alone'

Perhaps not phermones exactly but certain hormones and other compounds. There is a "sexy man scent". It's subtle but a bit musky. I find it's most prominent in caucasian and middle eastern men.

While we are on the subject, pre teen boys smell like sand to me and type 1 diabetics smell like band aids. Of the latter group, I was never sure why, however I discovered recently that band aids get their distinct smell from a compound called meta cresol, which can also be found in vials of insulin....which makes insulin "smell like band aids" and thus insulin dependant diabetics smell like band aids to me.

Correct.

Western bathrooms outside of Europe tend to not have bidets because historically they didn't, and most have no room for them and many Americans are probably unfamiliar with them and the newer alternatives. However "flushable" wet wipes are fairly popular and in houses, sinks are usually within reach of toilets for those who prefer to wet their toilet paper.

Western diets tend to be relatively lower insoluble fiber than diets elsewhere and this translates to harder stools and less mess, but on the occasion that the person finds they are in need of something other than toilet paper, wet toilet paper, or wet wipes, they will often take a shower.

Do you sniff the armpit of every man you know in order to draw a such conclusion, or are you a police dog?

I can usually detect it within a socially appropriate distance.

They have no room for them only because they're not expecting them to be there. If there was a demand for them a space would be set aside in every house for one.

I actually think bidets are a really good idea. When I buy my own house I might install a Japanese robo loo.

I wonder how many millimeters this appropriate distance is.

Otherwise, you're a police dog...or a werewolf.

It used to bother me a bit more. Now? Not so much. I've been single my whole life & I'm old enough to know my strengths and weaknesses. Rather than dwell on the fact that I'm not a suitable candidate as a partner in a relationship, I choose to focus on the things I am wired for instead - like solo pursuits. I'll be returning to University at least part time by the end of this year, and if things go well financially I'll be jumping back in full time for September 2019 and then hopefully spending the next several years studying full time and working part time. That'll keep me busy & focused accomplishing something good. Not as a distraction from my inability to connect with someone and form a relationship, but rather as an entirely different focus. May as well look on the bright side of what I CAN do vs. dwell on the things I'm simply not cut out for. If I did that I'd spend the next decade driving myself nuts instead of propelling myself forward.

Just my thoughts on these things we can't change. May as well focus on the good than the bad because time is going to pass anyways and either you're going to spend it doing something you enjoy & achieving things, or you're going to spend it keeping yourself miserable by focusing on things that frustrate you instead.

Considering you brag about turning down threesomes it doesn't sound like your single life is particularly demotivating.

No one obligating you to see his multiple threads, why is that bothering you much?

Single doesn’t have to mean celibate. There are plenty of single people having more sex than married couples. IMO, we deserve it if we’re not cut out for relationships.

Amen.

The point is if you're having as many hook-ups and offers as you've indicated, that's something, and would go some way in fulfilling your needs. For those of us who have no sexual opportunities to explore as well as nothing in the department of romance, I'd believe it's a great deal harder.

Interesting... Then I'm glad I had sex with that escort ten days ago. At 10:30 PM to boot. I stopped at a nearby bar afterwards, before catching a late-evening train home. Sex, beer, and trains; an aspie man's paradise. Speaking of testosterone, a homeless man sitting by the train station entrance avoided eye contact with me. And after that night, it feels like people at work are acting slightly more deferential with me than usual.

Today, I feel no desire to be in a relationship, lack of sex nonewithstanding. Mainly because women my age are drawn to me for the wrong reasons. That is, not because they're sexually attracted to me---as they would be to an alpha male---but because they're looking for a beta male to settle down with. Since women are repulsed by beta males, and only want them for the stability they provide, the sex with my girlfriend will be subpar.

12 year old me had some oral fun. 17 year old me thought he'd never get laid. 21-present year old me has had more sex than most people can fathom. My point with that is that one's own thoughts on the subject can change, and in turn the experience of their sex life.

Also, there are likely more sexual opportunities for you (and others) to explore than you realize. If you live in a populated area, then there are sexually active people there who enjoy sex. (except for maybe some extremely religious regions where people pretend they're not horny) If you're in a major city, then there are sex positive parties where people go for the express purpose of hooking up with others (or at least to party & dance in an environment where that sort of thing is normalized - it's a fun vibe even if semi-public sex isn't your thing at all) & there are personal ads, apps like Tinder etc etc. FYI attractive heterosexual waitresses I used to work with told me flat out they use Tinder for casual hookups, so it's not like straight females aren't emulating gays' use of Grindr on at least a smaller scale now that straights have Tinder and the like.

On the subject of internet dating/hookups, truly, this is the absolute best time to be alive for an Aspie's sex life! We can utilize our ability to communicate in text vs. in person and arrange dates/hookups with relative ease. Without utilizing this technological advantage I'd have had very, very, few partners. But, since it's here to be used, it's a pretty simple process to get quite good at with practice. A Truly Alpha NT friend of mine stated that he thinks it's "so wrong," that guys who can't chat girls up in person are getting laid by swiping right.. I didn't respond to his comment, but I found it interesting. IMO, whatev's man, if he can use his airplane to FLY even though he was born human, then I can use technology to assist with doing other things in life that I want to, so, ads & apps and hookups it is.

If you're not having success with internet dating communications then you need to ask yourself "why?" and "what can I do to improve this?" Maybe read some material about communication, or even better - about sales - because truly it is a sales process. You've got to ask the right questions at the right time and await responses, overcome objections etc etc. I don't consider myself a "PUA," but others might. There have been MANY times where the date/hookup wasn't likely going to happen, but I persisted with the right questions in order to overcome whatever objections someone may have, make them feel comfortable with the whole thing, and then meet up and have our fun despite their initial hesitation. No one can snap their fingers and have this sort of communication style/technique instantly perfected.. but if someone wants to do it, you just carry on and practice until practice makes perfect.

Or don't if you're not interested in casual sex at all. To each their own. But for those that are, it's a worth while skill to hone.

And then we circle back to the original post. There would be reasons why I personally lack success but under the current circumstances they're proving difficult to fix. If I was able to get a job I'd be able to manage and structure the use of my time better, but I just don't have much confidence to the point where I hardly apply because I figure that anywhere I apply to could find a more experienced candidate or someone younger that they could pay less, or simply because I can't find any jobs I can apply for due to no car and minimal experience. Without the crux of my days being taken up by something that I HAVE to get out of bed for, my sleeping pattern is inconsistent, and with that inconsistency comes a lack of routine, and without routine I can't get much done.

This year I've put on weight due to depression and not much other than high calorie drinks giving me any sense of joy. My journey to where I want to get to needs to start with gaining some employment. I don't really see it happening any other way. But when you're low on confidence and opportunities are few, it's hard to secure employment.

In my current state tinder or the like isn't going to work for me. I've swiped through at least 1000 people and only received 5 matches.
