I thought you lost your v-card a while ago?

She was before that and it was both not having a gf experience which caused the lack of sexual experiences

I'm still basically had no experience though

It might have to do with the severity of AS in each case. The less severe cases might be able to do some of those things.


Exactly

They are probably Nomies, they have popular mainstream interests.

People with disabilities can be Normie's so long as they have popular mainstream interests and a 'normal' success level for someone their age their country.

In this generatopn, being a nerd and liking superhero movies, doctor who and young adult fiction are all popular. I am not a nerd/geek person so the aspies who did fall onto this category were more successful than me socially and fitted in easily.

Plenty of the geekier adults on here would have Been the popular kids nowadays.

My personality would have fitted better on the 70s or 80s. Teens experimented weed and drunk alcphpl more, i would have been laidback yet smart stoner kid.

No it's not possible, because there is no thing or things that "women want"--women are individuals and every single one of us out there wants different things from men/women, from relationships, from life. So you could have everything one woman wants and absolutely nothing the next one wants. WE ARE INDIVIDUALS. There is no "what women want".

Do you know any individuals who are specifically looking for someone who is poorly educated, for example? Or socially awkward? Underemployed? Has bad health?

There's a fairly narrow range of characteristics that most people are looking for in a partner. It's very possible that some people don't meet these standards.


It's bullcr-p.

The majority of anthropologists, biologists, etc. agree and have found through decades of research that there is universal traits of humanity found in all cultures, times and places.

Humans share 99.99% of DNA with other human beings.

We aren't as different as we think, if anything I'd say we're MORE similar than we think we are.

If people are so different, how do movies ever become popular?

Why is Soccer the most popular sport in the world?

Of course a minority will have different views, but there is generally a majority opinion on anything.

Some activities are universally enjoyed because they are imprinted into our DNA and genetics.

Swimming is a natural past-time our ancestors took part in and is universally popular world-wide today.

Physical activity, art, exploration, nature, design/craft/build, observing things, etc. are all things every human enjoys. They might not like all of them but there's a guarantee they like one of these things.

We probably like TV because even our ancestors might have watched the waves or fish in the river or a small animal crawling etc. out of boredom.

Hell, even tribes did dances for people to watch and I bet even tribes did their own pseudo-plays.

So no, we're not unique.



THANK YOU.

Same can be said about the beauty standards.

And remember folks, the exception does not disapprove the rule - so if there's one woman in a million who is specifically attracted to ugly, fat and unemployed men that does not mean that there are so many like her - and that every individual has a totally different set of preferences.

I agree. I think deep down we know what's attractive and what's not. We all know how attractive we are, but we still tend to idealize love because it's comforting. It feels good to know that there's someone special for you.

So much of individualism! Wow.... 90% going for the most attractive ones and almost no one went for the obese ones, who would even guess that?

Humans are individuals! So individuals. :lol: This is the biggest joke really.

Well obviously! Obese people are the exact opposite of attractive.

The trouble is, nowadays there are more and more obese people. There's now a higher percentage of obese people than there were 40 years ago. Thin people are becoming a rare breed.

I HATE it.

I see a lot of women nowadays saying a guy has an ugly and unattractive attitude if he has a problem with dating significantly overweight or obese women.

A minority of Feminists and overweight women are actually trying to push a 'fat acceptance' movement.

We, Australia as the 6th most obese country in the world, should REFUSE to accept it as a good thing or normal or a healthy thing to be when it is not.

It is a disease that should ideally be treated like any other.

We have campaigns that try to put-off smokers (cigarette packs have anti-smoking ads, there are anti-smoking ads on tv, the new laws are being real hard on smokers, etc.)

We have alcoholics anonymous.

We have headspace for troubled youth.

We have campaigns to raise awareness for cancer and to fundraise the medical system to help cure cancer.

We have campaigns that encourage people to be more active because a sedentary lifestyle where you sit still for too long causes death.

We have campaigns that encourage the lonely, depressed and suicidal to contact helplines.

Those with mental disorders like Aspergers, ADHD, Bipolar, etc. are guided towards therapy and medication.

So why are we going the opposite direction with a disease well and truly proven by extensive research to cause many, many health issues?

I have full respect for overweight people who try to eat healthy or exercise.

America is the 9th fattest country on earth, with Nauru taking the top slot. part of the reason for this is pollution which interferes with hormones, part of it is our horribly unhealthy American diet, part of it stress due to the phuqed up social order here [stress generates cortisol which causes increased visceral fat accumulation]. with 2/3rds of amuuricans either overweight or obese, we have a major national problem that is gonna blow up what remains of our health care system. not criticizing people who are overweight, lord knows i'm one of 'em- but the scapegoat should be our national priorities that led to this situation developing in the first place.
anyways, to get back directly on OP topic, I am interested not in some model-fit person but somebody who looks like me, warts and all.

Agree with all of that.

Its not just peoples faults.

There are uni students who have to stay up till 4am to study, and have poor diet, Google freshman weight gain.

I see a lot of bodybuilders on the internet and such saying if they can juggle study and work and still get a good body than others can too. And that others are always just 'making excuses'. Some are arrogant and think there is something wrong with you or your not a real man if your an average bodied male of a healthy weight.

As for me, I have a damn wrist injury, but they'll probly say 'you can still exercise legs' but id rather just get back into weights when my WHOLE body can.

Most of these bodybuilders have never had an injury, those that have and most athletes are more understanding of how hard a fitness lifestyle is.

Now the bbuilders seem to be throwing around that Socrates quote condescendingly.

On websites such as Reddit, it is becoming more common for amateur or non-competing bodybuilders to throw around this quote:

“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”

Considering they quote him, they likely agree with what he says, which means whenever a bodybuilder quotes Socrates, they must believe that any man who doesn't lift heavy weights must be 'a shame'.

Also, read the comments.

I love the comments.

NONE of them agree with that article. Not one of about 25-50.

IMHO what a shallow and petty group.

It's also funny how contradictory they are.

One minute they claim eating healthy and exercising is hard and only the most elite in motivation, willpower,etc. can do it.

The next they shame average bodied men of a healthy weight or skinny men or overweight men and that it's 'easy' and all it takes is 30 mins of exercise 3 days a week and 'you probably spend that much time watching tv anyway, if not more.'

So which is it?

If it's a difficult thing only about 10% of the population can do properly without giving up, why would you shame ANYONE who falls into that 90%?

If everyone can do it but they're all too lazy, why should anyone be impressed by your muscles if it means you simply had slightly more free time than everyone else?

In my experiences, it is extremely difficult, but it's not about superiority. Some people just have more free time, better genetics, no major injuries or better yet a healed injury but a metal plate in the body, etc.
