young single women just don't like me.

Post Reply New Topic

Back when I was in my 20's I used to do the same avoidant thing with the ocassional man so I can explain the rationale and hopefully you may be able to mitigate it.

From my point of view back then (and quite possibly these young women too), the goal was Stay Off His Radar. Now and then I would come across a man who gave me the feeling that if I made myself memorable to him in any slight way, even by so little a thing as light conversation, he would focus on me in a negative way which could lead to stalking or even assault. So I avoided any interaction with him so as to Stay Off Hisd Radar and be unmemorable and therefore unworthy of stalking or worse. Now I don't worry about this at all because the stalker types seem to not fixate on older and/or married women. I have entered the demographic that is happy to talk to you (and to the men I would have avoided 20 years ago).

If you are being uniformly avoided by single women in their 20's, you are probably giving off this vibe. In order to stop giving off this vibe, you need to be seen as the sort of man who is not given to fixations with other people. You need to be seen talking relaxedly with lots of different people and preferably to visibly have friends. I realize that this is almost the exact opposite of what comes naturally to an Aspie, but from your posts, I think you are giving off this vibe.

You said that you talk easily with older/married women and with men and they are happy to get in conversations with you. Use that fact to demonstrate your harmlessness to single women in their 20's. If they see you easily talking to older/married women and to men, they will be more inclined to talk to you themselves. The men I avoided so much as saying hi to when I was in my 20's were all absolute loners who I did not see talking to anyone else. That was a major thing that disturbed me. So you need to be seen talking to other people before attempting a conversation with a single 20's woman. The women in their 20's need to see that before they will be confident you are harmless.

I don't think anyone women think Im stalker, but I have no idea if they do or not. and don't really care if they Im a stalker or not, if they do, well then they are just not for me then. Now let see if you can solve this out, ok here it is.. older women like to talk, the married women like to talk, the men like to talk, then you have the younger women (under 35) .............,

now, Im not saying every older women and men get along with me. But they do put more on the table. when I have a bbq and Im not the best at throwing bbq, the older women they bring the meat, the men they bring the beer, the married women they bring the fruits, and now younger women, well they don't bring nothing to the bbq, they want me to plan and cook everything.
you know, eccentric autism men like myself sometimes need a little help from the other. But when one side ain't put in no effort.
then,well no friendship will ever happen. Unless they like hearing me talk. figure it out. That what I think it is.

That was a literal bbq and not just a metaphor, right?

I've noticed in recent years that a lot of young women seem to not get the idea that they can be friends with men.

My husband has always gotten along better with women than men, to a great degree, and he's had a lot of female friends through the years.

But younger women now tend to get the mistaken idea that he's coming on to them. It's kind of disheartening. All those young women are missing out on some great friendships.

Who knows where they get this - maybe from TV and films or something, which seem to focus so much on sex and romance and very little, it seems to me, on friendship.

But there is so much complaining about "the Friendzone" that I think many young women really are comfortable being friends with men. There have been many threads about "friendzone" here and I've heard about it elsewhere too. So if billiscool can't get into the "friendzone" even, then there is something else going on.

Yep, being super duper autistic and having zero empathy and being weird. I can't get into the "friendzone" either, because I'm apparently a jackass.

Those are the very men I was mostly likely to be buddies with as a young woman - even now, come to that. I was always a sucker for the unusual and eccentric.
