Erm.. well I'm single, so I guess there's no harm in making a post!
I've just come out of a serious relationship, so I'm not ready for anything yet a while.
I'm 17, blonde/brunette (red at the moment though! I dyed my hair), with blue eyes. I live in West Mids, England, UK. I like computers, video games, some movies, animals, etc. I suppose I am relatively pretty, I guess. I like talking to people (and occasionally AT people!), and am quite romantic.
I'm looking for a guy, preferably with AS/simlar, or at least understanding. Preferably aged around 16-21 but may consider slightly older by a few years - not younger though. I would like someone who is kind, caring, etc. I would prefer someone who is not too overweight, and who isn't that much shorter than me (I don't mind if taller - I'm 5' 4", 163cm), but I don't have any particular preferences, I'm not too bothered.
As previously stated, I'm not on the market yet - I'm still readjusting from a serious relationship. But I guess I'm looking to see who's about!

Oh, hell with it. Maybe this will make me feel better. YOU PEOPLE TALKED ME INTO THIS. Wait, it was just Jol, I think.

I'm a newly single woman (just getting that out there) with a penchant for soul-bonding and a knack for deep connections. I'm 27 (my stated age below my name isn't as deceptive as you might think) and currently living without a real job, occasionally making the monies doing freelance art commissions. I may move at any given moment as I tend to be pretty nomadic, anyway, so location isn't really a fixed attribute for me.
I'm interested in just about everything. I don't have any fixed obsessions, but I do have a few favourite hobbies and pastimes, such as art, music (listening and making), studying anything in the natural sciences, working with animals (including humans--anthropology was once my chosen major, and I love psychology), and just about anything you place in front of me. I'm curious. I need to know everything. I want to excel at as much as I can, without being competitive. I find I can be very passionate and aggressive.
I love odd music, and I'll listen to just about anything. Music is extremely important to me, and I prefer the more hardcore electronic and experimental to other genres, but love a good mix. I love to share music with people as a way of connecting.
I'm ADHD, though I'm not sure how well I fit into the autism spectrum, I have some traits here and there. I have a hard time understanding social hierarchy, but I don't have a problem understanding people's emotions and experiences. As I said, I love, and must, connected deeply to people to thrive, so I'm not entirely a loner.
I'm European Caucasian and native, brown hair, light eyes, and a big nose. Sorry, if you want a model, you'll have to look elsewhere.
I'm a 50 foot woman (thanks, Mr. Bogan)...
...and I'm probably a few cards short of a full deck.
I'm also not opposed to posing lewdly whilst donning t-shirts that will probably get me hate mail, thus the link I'm carfully placing this photo under (try not to click that, please).
So, uh, what am I looking for? A man, preferably, though I'm not all that opposed to seeing how it goes with a woman. I like duality, however, and men are my other half biologically. Age isn't all that important, as young as 18, so long as he's mature, and as old as 35. I need hygiene, curiosity, intelligence and at least some grasp on emotional situations. A good sense of self is a must -- likes, dislikes, picky isn't bad, and I don't want anyone who's desperate. I want to know I'm what you may want, let me put it that way, so maturity is a must in that regard.
I have a fairly sarcastic, subtle sense of humour, usually dry, so it's probably best to have someone who understands that the way I do.
I'm potently monogamous by birth, not by religion or conditioning. I am guaranteed clean. I have no children, and probably never will (the option is open for a while). I'm intense sexually, otherwise, and love to bond heart and soul through sex. I'm pretty avidly against most porn (with a few exceptions), which probably puts me out of the dating game right there.
If anyone's interested or knows about the MBTI, I'm a poster child for the INFJ. I'm also a Libra, whatever that's worth. I do like balance, I guess.
Are you sure? Or did you replace the pictures of yourself with a model without making mention of that?
PS: oops... I clicked the link... that shirt is tame compared to some of the shirts I wear... although I don't think I would pose like that...

I don't think models have pectus excavata, for starters.

That's because fashion designers around the world have this weird fetish for twigs... they don't know what true beauty really is...
PS: I can't decide whether to end that statement with a or a , so pick whichever one makes you feel better...
PPS: Even if you thought my above comments were just trying to make you feel better, remember that they make anorexics models... that's practically "stomachus excavatum"...

Eh, well my physical therapist said I walk like a model, so whatever. It's all good.
But, despite all that, it's not necessarily my looks (though I have terrible skin) that'll get me nowhere.
I don't understand the current trend of plastic women that all look the same, either. Flat stomachs are one thing, but a lot of them look downright deformed to me in some ways. Deformed as in, "can she REALLY bear children?".
well, how to start...
26 springs old now (2009),
183cm tall, average build, blue eyes, brownish hair and red beard.
live in the green and friendly Western Norway by the coast... its in Scandinavia.
i am a nice guy, try to be a good person in all i do. i study classical History, but enjoy a large variety of subjects and i love people who have their "own" subjects of interest.
i like to walk in the great out doors, but i also like watching a good film with some dark chocolate:)
well, i take it there is not going to be that many AS girls in my area, but either way... its better to be listed with a small chance of success then not to be listed at all and not have a chance in hell..
by the way i am an atheist, but if you can convince me otherwise, you might make me a believer:)
well that should be enough, its not like i can print my whole self onto a internet page...
Hey, I'm just saying that if those pictures you shared are really of you, then you look a lot more beautiful than these:
There's something to be said about the beauty of "God's own" (or "natural" if you don't believe in God; take your pick...) that human fakery can't match... And believe me, I've tried... I've photoshopped my own face so much in an attempt to improve its appearance to at least a decent level, but even though it looks better every time, it also looks fake...

Orbyss, is it OK to comment on your pics? If not, PM me and I will edit this post. I just wanna say that your ex bf is definitely not a generic straight guy if he walked away from this beautiful lady. You won't have any trouble finding a good partner - just go ahead and flirt with guys and they will melt.

Responses like that always confuse me. True the woman you are speaking to, and any woman that the guy is speaking to in that scenario will be very attractive, but there is one thought I cannot escape. The guy in this compliment scenario, the scenario we all know where the guy says "Your ex must have been out of his mind to let you go", is overlooking one major factor. WHY the ex walked away. She could have done something incredibly callous/unfaithful/cruel/unforgivable. But that doesn't seem to matter since the guy wants to give a compliment. And this serves only to give the woman the impression that the breakdown of the relationship is the exe's fault, and his alone. The impression given is that a woman is permitted to do whatever she likes, to whoever she likes, but if a guy leaves her for being hurt by something she has done, then by all means that must mean that he is blind/crazy/stupid etc.
I'm not by any means stating or even implying that Orbyss had in fact domne anything of the sort to hurt her ex, I am simply sytating that that is the mentality that is fed to women who are attractive and newly single.
My apologies if my post has upset or offended anyone, I just felt the need to say it.

hehe, thanx
For the record, no, I don't care about comments, either way. I mean, it's a bit perplexing to get good ones, and on the other end of the spectrum (which I've gotten more often), certainly a blow to my physical self esteem if they're extremely negative. Anyway, I doubt they convey just how hilarious I come across in person -- GANGLE TIME.
No, I don't think he's generic straight, but that's one unfortunate trait I loved about him.

Well, I think it could stem from the fact I posted about it here, so it's not just a generic compliment. Not to mention I've had a couple girls say the same thing, so... you know, it's not just guys, given my case.
It was both of our faults and none of our faults all in one. A lot of it was his 'fault' since he lied a lot and tried for something and then actually pretty much bashed the s**t out of me at the end. He's apologized for this recently. I have a good grasp of what he's going through but at this point I'm not about to use that knowledge to excuse him, either. But I am by no means an angel--I think I stated that in my 'come get me' post up there.
Just to be settin' the record straight. But I do also see your point, blind compliments happen frequently.
Hello Everybody,
For me, making a post on this page has been long overdue. I really wish I had the knowledge of computer "stuff" to put up a picture of myself on one of these posts, but I will have to settle with providing a link to my brand new Aspie Affection profile. I spent two hours in a frustrating attempt to upload an image or even make a head-shot small enough for my avatar; so I have to settle for plan B. In any case, now people can see what I actually look like and put a face with the writing. Knowing what someone actually looks like always seems to make what they say more pithy or impactful.
I am very open-minded when it comes to relationships and life. I suppose that my reasons for posting in this forum are self-evident. So here is the link to my profile. Hopefully some girls will check it out and give it more than just a cursory glance.
