Trying to be kind to women

Post Reply New Topic

You are the opposite of creepiness kk. The guys could learn a lot from you.

I doubt that's all you care about though, KK.

To an NT, being radiant is more about emotion than physical looks anyway.

I'd say the same with some of us autistic ppl cos some of us do express via our faces, we're just more obvious about it & haven't changed our expression for decades.

Some autistic types & a few NTs don't express their expressions, though.

To me 'you look radiant' = 'you look happy and I like that and that makes me happy'

I was not talking to you, I was talking to .... Pepe.

To me, “radiance” has much to do with the perceived happiness and contentment of a woman.

It has to do with how a woman’s eyes “talk to you.” And her smile, which “lights up” her face.

I only learned this rather recently. I didn’t fully understand “radiance” when I was younger.

So if she smiles very big, then her face is lit? The worse thing I would say to a woman is that I wish I could accompany her to a dance, that means she looks extremely gorgeous. If she had a boyfriend or husband, who was to ask to cut in, no fight or argument I would politely step aside.

Might peck the woman’s hand out of chivalry, with her permission.

It sounded fine.

It was fine for me to do that. A former coworker of mine, who has a step grandson with Aspergers, told me asking to peck a woman’s hand is showing respect to a lady. I was in a relationship at the time, girlfriend was alright with me doing it, we were going to meet some famous singers and I was trying to be a gentleman to the ladies performing. Unfortunately it was against the rules so I didn’t do it.

I would love to be told I looked radiant!

I don’t mean a “big” smile necessarily.

I meant more a demure, shy, but evident smile.

As much as young guys with ASD want to be a friendly face so to speak, people I've encountered have a nasty tendency to either get really suspicious or outright hostile about that. There's a balance to be struck, between the majority of people learning to accept our differences & ASD folks just making an effort to be nice after all the BS we've generally been through.

It's free tech support means I <3 you vs. me being terrified of all you wicked humans, enough so that I WANT TO LIVE IN SVALBARD YOU SAVAGES [in my head every day].

Seriously, I actually do hope this clears things up for at least one or two female perspectives here. It is a major gauntlet to be a dude with ASD, enough so that I might give up a home, my cat, a fast car & everyone I know to get some relief & go skiing.

That all sounds completely alien to me, and so I suspect it is some NT-stuff you picked-up.

From an ND perspective, there is just so much wrong with this:

1. I wouldn't look long enough into a woman's eyes to notice if they "talk", as my natural flirting mode is regular quick glances, and so I won't have time to pick it up.

2. I generally avoid looking at people, and so I would miss if they smile or "light up".

3. For me, happiness and other emotions are not communicated with facial expressions or words, but mind-to-mind.

I wanted to write it too.

Learn the truth guys.

I read it. I’ll keep the real signs in mind.

What is fake about intending to flatter?

I'm not one dimensional.
I can appreciate how a woman looks, her personality, how she relates to me.
