Blaming the area.

Post Reply New Topic

You people must really have a non-aspie typically social lifestyle in order to meet a significant sample of people in your area.

Seriously, are you really diagnosed aspies or you just doubt to have it?

What? you DON'T have to have an active social life to know what people in your town are like.

I am relying on my Aspie approximation of an NT social lifestyle - the Internet and observations of people when I'm out, as well as simple deductiion: my ability to be attracted to someone is inversely proportional to the physical distance they reside from me - therefore my area must suck...

And, for the record, while people tell me i should blame my area, I still attribute it to myself...

Nope it's the area.

It certainly is the area up to a point, particuarly when you are in a small town, or in a remote location, or the population where you live isn't diverse, giving you little or no potential options. Yet because where I live is the complete opposite of that, a large city with a diverse population and many different kinds of lifestyle but I still haven't found anyone compatible, I accept it's mostly the individual. Especially when the male Aspies I know who've managed to attract partners are the bolder, stronger, more alpha ones.

starting the aspie witch-hunt? you must be loosing the argument!

neener!

He has a point. Unless you just judge people superficially and often in a biased way, you can't know everyone in your town if you don't socialise all the time.

That sucks. Well at least you'll be out of there soon.

X begone, banana hag.

I simply don't believe you, sorry.

I knew Turks of all sorts,I worked with them on daily basis, some were liberal, others were more conservative. But most of those who were from Istanbul were liberal.

The truth is that you just don't want a Muslim man, regardless of how he is, because you are a conservative Christian. Period.

at least I didn't bring up the nazis (yet)!

Again, no. If you have lived somewhere your entire life it's VERY easy to tell what type of people live there without socializing with them. Sure I maybe wrong about one or two people, but from experience I'm often right.

I don't get why this is so hard to understand, when you have lived somewhere for a very long time, you begin to notice things about the town and the type of people who live there.

The place I grew up for 24 years involves mainly new money. My family are educated so they don't fit in. That doesn't mean all these people have specific personality traits. Nor does it mean the entire town is new money.

Never said they did. I am talking about my experiences here, when you've only ever come across shallow morons where you live, It's kind of hard not to have a negative opinion on the town and the people in it.

I live in a conservative area (far western Beirut) while I am atheist and liberal,I never had a girlfriend (sure there are all sorts of liberals and moderates here but the majority are fairly religious whether they're Christians or Muslims). My family are also part of the Shiaa community, the most conservative community over here.

But I have two colleagues who are also atheist and very liberal, I knew the first guy for 5 years and I have yet to see him without a girlfriend, the other guy is already engaged. Both are also from a very conservative community too (The Chouf's Druzes) not much less conservative than the one I came from.

The main difference between me and them? they are way more social, extrovert and outgoing than me, that's the main difference.

So is it Lebanon/Beirut or me? Certainly it's me.
