Where is the singles list on this site?


It's called Eligible Odd-Bods, and it's usually at the top of the Love and Dating folder.

Does AA have issues with some browsers? I have a friend I know put his profile there, I can see his ID name, but when I click on it, nothing happens.

Actually AA does work. For me it does anyways. I met a guy there the end of February and we are really close. This is a long distance relationship with him in tx and me in pa but its working great and we're perfect for each other. So I dont think u should give up on Aspie Affection. it took me a while to get used to this site and AA but just as soon as I logged on finally, he and I found each other. :D Hes really sweet and we both think that for right now this distance thing is good for us so that we can get to know each other's personalities and souls before we get together. But we both have a good feeling about our relationship.

That's good! I think distance is probably the main reason people are intimidated by AA, but it's great to hear about compatibility coming first.

If you're an Aspie man and want to meet an Aspie woman, sometimes distance is unavoidable, since they're not as widely diagnosed as Aspie men. We're all spread out to begin with, and then come the factors of compatibility and availability. It's really tough. You have to really keep at it. I'm happy to tell everyone here that I've finally found the woman of my dreams finally on AA. It was well worth the effort, because, as I've argued before, I believe the AS/AS relationship is a lot stronger than a mixed one. It's just plain easy to understand and thus feel comfortable with someone who shares your struggles in life. I really look forward to the years ahead together with her. She's beautiful, strong, loving, and sweeter than all the sugar in the world. I feel like I've been floating on a cloud ever since the day I met her. I feel so blessed to have found her.

From my relatively limited experience (keep that in mind) it seems the internet isn't a great place for dating. You can make great friends though.

I agree about distance being unavoidable. We may have to step out of where we are occasionally.

Aspie Affection sucked for me. There is not "1" registered female in North Carolina. Oh well, I can live with it, I'll move if I have to, been thinking about it anyway. :wink:

I'm on there, but I'm not using it all that much. Can't say I'm really all that hopeful about it... or online dating sites in general. The problem... especially with AA, is the low ratio of girls to guys. As such, very few girls that can come close to what I look for, and out of those, none who are near me.
As such, I would probably have better luck just chatting up girls with similar interests here on the boards.

I think I'll add something to whatever I may have said on the first page or wherever else - I personally don't show initiative and I know why; just like IRL I meet someone that I can feel that much for maybe once every few years - adding distance to that even further seems to seal the deal.

I sent a wink to someone who lives 2 states away from me, but that's about it.

I had a profile on there, with a pic, but all I got were multiple views from a handful of guys from really far away. Not one of them actually contacted me. I've been told that I am "hot," but I don't know. :scratch: People say the most unfathomable things, sometimes.

I usually contact someone, and get maybe 1-2 messages, if any.
