Aspie dating success stories

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah there's going to be a WP member who is wheelchair bound, no legs, stutter and who is overweight and unemployed who is going to post here one day and say he wishes he had a g/f but he's never been able to find a girl friend and nobody will talk to him or be his friend and that women won't date men like him.

then the dude is going to be met by comments like "I wouldn't have a problem dating a guy like this, what's his problem? I know a guy who has no legs or arms who dates lots of women" He just needs to be himself and stop making generalisations about women.

It doesn’t surprise me at all that some of you resort to bad faith arguments when it comes to this topic.

Fixed it for you.

I don't understand why everyone is so upset. It's just a thread on a bloody forum.

Everyone needs to take a chill pill and agree to disagree on this subject.

If your getting your feelings hurt by something someone says on the internet, I think there should be some inward reflection done on that person's behalf. Is this really the hill that you want to die on?

I'm not upset or dying on hills.

I answered your thread several times with examples of success stories including my own.

Would you like to know more about my relationship, or should I tell you about other autistics who found love?


*Also please note, the derails were made by men.

I'm annoyed and I can explain why. The topic is "Aspie dating success stories".

Very little of this discussion here is about that.

The label suggests Aspies can come to this thread and read a happy story. That is pretty much not true.

I'm not saying this discussion should not be on WP. I just don't think it belongs in this thread.

If someone starts a suitably-labeled thread that would be a good place for this discussion. But it would be nice if the thread gave Aspies tested-and-proven ideas on how to do successful dating, things that worked, based upon documented evidence regarding the target population rather than plausible-sounding speculation and assertions.

In my 20s and 30s I could have really used some useful ideas and pointers. That is, ideas based upon facts and experience, not on opinions, wishful thinking, and whingeing.

Though I suppose it would be perfectly reasonable to have a thread for venting and whingeing on the topic...but the thread should be suitably-labeled so folk know what to expect.

P.S. In case my bride reads this, things worked out wonderfully for me even if not timefully. I'm glad I finally found you!

An autistic guy friend of mine is happily married and has three kids. He was quite successful with women prior to getting married, too. He had lots of hookups and short / longterm relationships starting in late high school.

I thought everyone has issues with sex or intimacy.

I've been in a very happy relationship for over 5 years. In fact, it's by far the best relationship I've ever had. I consider that a success story.
