Meeting people

Post Reply New Topic

Clearly if I wanted to sniff your toe jammy socks, I wouldn’t have suggested an event that would never happen to force me to.

I have focused primarily on fan clubs for my interests. The problem, however, is that I couldn't find any specific to my area, and of the ones that are global, usually only 3 people are in my area (out of 30,000+ total group members), and no guarantee they will accept my FB friend requests.

Can confirm; you meet lots of women at volunteering services.

Because this forum has really set my expectations for meeting others over the internet high.

Go to a different one then. There aren’t a lot of people I would meet from here, either. I have made some exceptional friends from here over the past 13 years, and are still in contact with them today. I can confirm you’ll find more normal people on non-aspie forums.

Like what?
Ever had any luck meeting people on Shave, gun,airsoft,coin forums

In some countries it is difficult to meet other people online.

In my experience it's incredibly difficult to meet other Australians online unless it's Facebook, let alone
any that are close.

Our population is proportionately low for the countries size; there are places the size of Tasmania with the same
population as ours.

With our low population density we're thinly spread across the whole country.

Every Australian I meet online is always too far.

As for local meetup groups, as someone who has lived in several towns and cities over the years, I've found only the
major cities have a decent amount of anything. And the majority of these meetup groups in smaller cities or towns only
have 3-5 if not only a single member or two.

The Australian internet precense is simply too small.

I've also found a lot of Australians are only 'casual' internet users at best. Most people primarily use Facebook, phone
games, Youtube
and Netflix, and rarely specific hobby sites or places like Reddit.

Reddit has specific sections for certain Australian cities and they're typically incredibly empty, even for the major
cities.

Whirpool which is an Australian specific site is alright though...

Hale_bopp you are in New Zealand.

That's different. Anyone you meet online in New Zealand would be a few hours and perhaps a ferry away at best since it's a tiny country.

But Australia's the 6th largest country by area in the world.

I’ve never heard of people meeting up from forums.

No luck

I couldn't resist having a look. What about the learning Spanish, it includes cake It's Saturday mornings though you prob work then.

There's quite a few in the nearest big town to me but while I could go during the day, all the good ones are evening and there's no way back. 'Silent Forest' is day but when I clicked on details I found I had misread the name it was really 'Silicone Forests' which would be my version of hell. I'll keep looking every so often though because there are a lot more than the last time I looked.

To drive to the top and the bottom of this country would take about 2.5 days if you do nothing but drive. It’s not feasible at all to people who don’t have that free time or money. Flights for that are around $500.

Australia is huge, and unless you live in the wops, I find it hard to believe you’d stuggle if there is a large city of 500k or so people nearby. I have no idea where in Australia you live so cannot comment. If it’s that important, move to the outskirts of a large city. It’s not hard to meet Austalians online, I know heaps.

Well, they do. I’ve met hundreds, and know of relationships and hook ups in the 1000s.

A lot of slappers on them, too, if that’s what you like. Some girls have sex with about 10-20 guys on one forum.

I’ve only ever hooked up with two guys from forums and one on tinder.

I have been on this forum for 13 years. I’ve seen lots of relationships, marriages, sex scandals, boob flashing, affairs that started from here. Some members have flown across the world to have sex with other members.
(None of this was me, btw)

They sure do, even in my tiny country that doesn't really have that many people if you think about it on the whole world's scale. I've been to a lot of meet ups that have been arranged in the internet. Mostly different groups in facebook, sure, but some forum meetings as well.

I can’t learn Spanish , gosh knows the government tried to force me to serval times(it was mandated) but I can’t cause my speech impediment and well memory issues. I don’t even speak some English words right.

Yeah that’s my issue too they are all late night acorsss in the other city with no way back, and the video game one doesn’t meet up or have any discussions. They had 400 members I think, what do they do if they never meet or talk? From what I gather it cost a lot of money to have a group on that page. Somone said it cost $160 3 months and so were looking for someoneelse to pay. Another group said they going cater charging $5 a member a month. So you’d pay $5 a month to spend gas then spend $20ish each meeting on food. Given weekly meetings you’d be spending over $100 a month, seems I’d be better off hiring a dating service. I don’t drive anyways so I can’t get to 90% of these meet ups. The others are taking place when I’m working or when I’d not be able to get home. They set up for people with 9-5 jobs.

Lol

Yeah there’s a lot of strange ones. Feminist groups etc.
lots of female only groups maybe I could cross dress like Robbin Williams in miss doubtfile,

The only one that might have worked is the socializing one but nope it’s for 50+
Seems people my age don’t have trouble socializing and so don’t need a group.

Is slapper New Zealand for slut?

Non of the forums I’ve been on besides here have any single women. The ones they do are their cause their husbands. How do you meet people who live across the world or nation, I guess if your middle class and can fly to meet them, I can’t. The Shave forum has annual meet up conventions where they go have lunch and listen to shops sell their stuff, but I can’t travel to Chicago.

Besides that never heard people meeting up certainly not for dating or sex.
Tinder people meet for sex but I’m ugly I never been matched on tinder. I’m definitely not good enough looking for random sex. Maybe if I posted saying I’m virgin and want to lose it some lady with a fetish might take me up, read a few stories about that.

Wp? It’s a bit different then say a classic car forum, Shave forum, gun forum, knitting forum etc. people go to those to either show their stuff or get help with issues not to socialize . Coin forums are the same, but worse as coin people never share information out of fear the other person will rob them.

There’s been like 4-5 here I know of. And I think one broke up. Nick is the only one I know of that’s active. And I don’t think his gf is active user. I don’t hold hope that some woman who happens to live near me will wonder on wp see my posts and message me.
I had a few from Europe but in each case it was clear due to the distance and income it wouldn’t work out, they all found guys locally.

Aspies flew across the world to have sex? Seems it’d been cheaper to go to Vegas and hire a cathouse lady. Amazes me an aspie with anxiety issues could make such a trip for a one night stand.

Doesn’t seem like such a thing in the USA atleast not for poor people. Just going from where I live to Portland is over 100 miles. Going from here to California is a 8 hour drive. Going to New York would take days. The USA especially west coast is so spread out. I mostly get liked by girls from Portland or Corvallis or some southern city , I can’t get to places in my city getting to those is impossible making relationships impossible but if I was a real man I’d have a good income and car and just drive to the, all the time , that seems to be what they expecting.

How many women will constantly drive 3 hours one way to date a poor guy? Tell me they won’t come to resent the guy? But guys are expected to do it and be happy.

Nope. I have to not even consider women who live in certain parts of my city due to inability to get to them. Makes first dates hard and relationships impossible since I won’t take rides from women. The one lady would been 2 hour bus trip then 8 hours walking one way( she lived in country)

I think this is something people taken for granted who live outside the USA.
Take Haleboop, Oregon and the whole west coast is far more spread out then New Zealand.
I think most people imagine big Eastern cities when they think USA. Where you can hop on a train or subway and go anywhere.

There’s no train to Corvallis. You can get to Portland by train for $80 one way. It’s not a commuter train those don’t Exist on the west coast it’s a travel train meant for long trips.
So not like back east where people take the train from New York City to Washington DC every day and back every day. Or taking a train from the city to the suburbs.

There’s greyhound but they aren’t much cheaper. And they a lot slower.
My city has one of the best transit bus lines in the whole USA.the best in our state. And it doesn’t go everywhere and in exchange for speed they’ve cut back a lot of where it goes, so it goes even less places now. I use to take bus to my brothers now that lines gone, the line that goes to my high school is gone too.all to make way for the emx line that runs less stops to make believe its faster. And non of the businesses want it. I’m not looking forward to it expanding into my area, my stop will probably go and I’ll have to walk 1-2 miles just to catch the bus and the emx is confusing I got on wrong one once cause it parked in the wrong bay. And another time cause it didn’t change it’s name. They are all green. Now it has 3 routs using the same two bays, and they don’t change names. So for my way to work there gateway/riverbend and riverbend/gateway. But it doesn’t change anymore so both say gateway/riverbend but one goes to riverbend first and the other second. Then there’s Eugene, and west 11th. It’s getting very confusing and now west 11 is done my area is next. Only upside would be if my areas emx turns into the gateway then I wouldn’t have to change buses and wait 30-45 minyeach time at stations.
