I don't think the phrase 'in dating the genders face different types of problems' is prejuice.

However as androbot described there have been instances on this site where a young woman has come on and made a post about struggling and subsequently been told things like 'it should be easy for you', and 'just dress up and dance and you will get someone' etc. This is pretty dismissive and often their threads get taken over without being offered any real help.

At the same time I can see what androbot is trying to say. We are all autistic and have social problems so why is it always about gender. Why am I constantly treated in such a way of 'your a woman you wouldnt understand because only men go through it'?.


If you were a male aspie, same self and same education...etc, do you think you would have lost your virginity at 18, having first boyfriend at 19 and then getting engaged around 20?

You think nothing would have changed when it comes to relationships?


Oh my god it's like you didn't even read it. I said that males and females have different problems.

Female aspies can have the same problems even if I did not!

Why is it always about gender with you?


Ok fair enough.


Boo I really have to apologise I just re read it and realised I forgot to say something I was going to because I lost my train of thought (fire alarm in my building)

What I meant to say was that it is true that male aspies do have different troubles so saying different genders have different troubles is not prejudice. Although of course this shouldn't dismiss the problems some females may share wit males. It's when you assume all females don't have the issue it becomes a problem.

which was supposed to go under the first paragraph.

Again I apologise

Well it seems this thread has become about catcalling now; nice switch. Anything to avoid taking responsibility for personal bias.

It is the worst dating site I have ever used.

I've gotten dates from several dating sites but not a single one from eharmony.

I've had the most success with Oasis Active and OKCupid.

I actually just made an example which you deemed a good example. How in hell is it my fault if people are now talking about catcalling? I even invited female users to comment on the definitions you showed and say if they match. Right now I renew my invitation, let's see what they say!
