I'll be glad to answer your questions. My sister has Aspergers like me. She's not social at all, in fact very withdrawn. She gets dates the way many women get dates, by meeting guys at school and at work. My sister is considered attractive so guys were very persistent with her. After getting to know guys at school/work for a month or so, she would eventually give into them and agree to go out with them if they asked her enough times. Some of her boyfriends were decent and some were disasters but she was able to get boyfriends in a way I will never be able to get a girlfriend. Women can get away with being introverted because if they are considered attractive enough, they will eventually land offers with men simply for existing. Trust me, my sister has never been to a party or has ever online dated anyone so she barely had to do any work at all.


still,she still around guys,she doesn't isolated herself,or with draw from men.
so,she still ''social''or at least around people.

Now that I think about it, if I see someone well dressed and well groomed, I just assume they have good social skills.

I geuss one has to define "better" . Neurological studies have shown that the auditory portion of a women's brain is much larger than a man's on average. There were also studies with students that showed girls are better at writing whereas boys are better at math. That being said, communication is about more than volcabulary, sentence structure and grammer. Some things can be explained in a simplistic manner and be better understood than if they were explained in a more complex, in depth sounding way. Also, the more one talks, the more silly things one says. Naturally because of this women on average say more silly stuff.

from the time we are little girls we are programmed by society to be MORE social than boys - even if it is unnatural for us. We are forced into a mold just like boys are. This can create differences.

I also thing that there may be physical differences in the male and female brain and that hormonal issues are involved. Between all of this we womyn just (as a group : NOT everyone) can be more social and empathetic than the median male.

Lol just googled it.

Why don't feminists simply adopt the french word "Femme" instead? At least it's a correct word, the invented word "Womyn" will be always mentioned and remembered in dictionaries as originally derived from Women.

There's no Homme in Femme.
