In all honesty, I've found both AS (at least either diagnosed or obvious to pick out) guys and girls are hard to come by in any area of daily life. Fact is, we're a tiny minority and that's reflected in life. I think I might be the only AS person in my entire college (of around 300 - 400 people), although there are others in my university. Anyway, I've found the one fail safe place to meet other aspies of both genders is in local Aspergers support groups. All my AS friends I have met through a support group (I couldn't imagine my life without some of these wonderful people). If you don't have any support groups in your local area, you could even consider forming one yourself.

im in the bay area, It would be worth looking into.
I just dont like the idea of see aspergers as in need of support....i see it as a mixed blessing...

but yeah...i guess i should look into it

All it means is "A place for aspies to meet and become friends, possibly be there for each other when times are tough"

Im new to the whole meetup thing. that is why i had to clairify.

Like i said. Seems worth looking into. Perhaps a gaming group would be nice too.

true that. But at the same time, that whole asexual nonsense isnt entirely true. Just because they dont have a sex drive and feel the same amount of urges doesnt mean they can completely forgo it.

Even if it is just cute cuddling and hanging out like best buds, I mean, the whole dating aspect is there right?


I can imagine it now:

"Hey, honey, I would like you to stop being asexual, and while you're at it, could you also please convert to Christianity and join the Republican Party?"

We are sitting in our rooms in front of our computers watching anime apparently.

Except me. I detest most anime and I occasionally wander around the city.

I don't want to try to change people, but finding a female Aspie who is already a Republican-voting Christian who likes to travel, and has a high sex drive (and also has no problems with oral sex or fetishes), is nearly impossible.

In other words, I feel like I have to force my beliefs on people.

Asexuals can still have sex just like an atheist can still go to church. I don't think they would enjoy it though.

One of the reasons I'm totally not ready for a long-term relationship at this time. I need to first get used to actually going out to be with girls, while still keeping my separate life. Then, once I can finally enjoy my separate life, due to knowing there's a woman I can have sex (and other things) with when I want to, then I can think about actually making my relationship a significant, integrated part of my life.

The only asperger's support group I've been to in the Bay Area has very few women, and they seem to be of the "bad" kind, i.e. really wary even when among other aspies, and either looking for no relationship or looking for husbands.

thats what has me worried.
if im going to go to a group like that, I would like to have women there, but that isnt the issue. I meet people there, you know be friends hang. but, I dont want to be classified or exiled from both the NT world I feel so detached from, and the very instense in need of help aspie group in the bay area.
would it be a good idea to just request a meetup in the city on these forums here?
