But do these girls do a locker room thing about it?

Some scuzzy men puff up and brag about THIER conqests and how the women fell for it etc.

You know i long ago realized generally Men are just not taught how to handle Love. I think thats why they fumble so badly. I know the first time I was in love it was agonizing. She did nothing wrong, she was one of the most wonderful people I ever met. It ended because she transfered upstate to another college.

But when she was in town and we were together I was nuts. I totally understand how some men can't handle it and become controling etc. We want to be in control. Even when we're being slobs and getting yelled at to take out the trash we still have the womans attention.

And I think this explains our crazy controlling stalking junk.

Then theres the whole mom issue . . . :roll:

I read a wonderful story called "A Tree A Rock A Cloud" Where an old drunk in a diner corners a newspaper boy and tells him he loves him. He explained that he had lost his one true love many years ago and that for men a womans love should not be our first introduction to the mystery. After the old man had lost his love he had retaught himself to love. He began with a tree, he opened himself up and learned to love a tree ,,then so on so that he eventually was full of love.

Like an aspie doesn't realize his general social blunders are hurting people?


EXACTLY.

I hate that maturity myth, Dave. Seriously, that has to stop.

Girls flirting just for the sake of getting attention is both lying and immature. It is a waste of time which could be used for more productive efforts in finding someone with genuine interest in yourself, as well as for them. Why would someone deliberately waste what little time they have alive squandering it on people they are unwilling to pursue?

If it is unnecessary and inefficient, it must be eliminated.


Wow, I agree 100%.

I simply miss the point to much of the frivolous social mind games, and societal functioning would be so much more pleasant if they were to promptly cease.

You know Ilike games but It's like the two times i watched Reality TV.

This wasnt fun like The Price is Right or Wheel of Fortune. These were REAL tears.

I'd prefer no games where hearts are concerned but a FUN game like "Losers bowling"

( I just made it up. Point is to grt lowest score but you get penalized for gutter balls. Winner gets to tell the loser to do something embarassing in public.)

To impress other women, it's like a contest. I've often thought (and I've had NT girls admit as much to me) that the MAIN points of women dressing up, wearing makeup, etc are vanity and impressing other women, rather than attracting men.
I don't know how to flirt, hence don't do it.

I have to admit the generic Hottie clones bring out the jerk in me. I dont mean a "meanie" but I wont trip over my own tounge to hold the door for them.

Often I have gone out of my way NOT to give any sort of notice to them. In check out lines I always pick the little old lady clerk or the Geek girl. I feel like I'm actually doing something positive when I compliment them rather than add to an ego problem .

How do they impress blind guys?

Besides here in my neighborhood of yuppies I see too many guys souls withering away at the mercy of thier trophy wives. :cry:

Flirting isn't lying.

There's a married guy at work who I flirt with all the time. Doesn't mean he's cheating on his wife or that I'm going to sleep with him. It's just fun.


Juliekitty has a pretty healthy attitude.

In general, however, people are cruel. Men and Women. NTs and Aspies.

Don't let it get you. Lots of fish in the sea.

Thanks to the efforts of our multinational corporations, the sea has become polluted...

I'm going to say something in a hypothetical smartypants kinda way.

If I walked up to someone told them I had a gun and to give me all thier money , but when they became scared I laugh and say I was just having fun isnt that a lot like casually flirting?

I don't, I keep quiet. But I'm aspie.

The most I usually hear girls say, though, is "That guy was totally flirting with you." "He WAS???"

Um, no. The implied threat of death with intent to rob would be the main difference between the two situations you've described.

Ok fine but Heartbreaks pretty painful.
How about instead of a gun it was a baseball bat? :?

Sorry, can't back that analogy either. Still threat of assault with intent to rob.

Okay I give up.

My favorite use of the thread topic is when I've peeved some random woman, co worker, fellow student etc and in the middle of her yelling at me I'll interupt and say:

" Wait a minute ! Are you FLIRTING with me here?"

Always makes them madder :P

Maybe thats the equivilent. I used to LOVE giving my moma hard time. I'd jump out, scare her and run off. Elemetary school teasing the girls was fun. And yes we CAN hold it in till we go to the bathroom but we think its funny when you get mad and call us gross. :wink:
