Wow, there sure are a lot of haters on this thread...

Again I ask, why can't the kid just be happy? Do y'all have some vested interest in making sure all Aspies stay as miserable as you are?

And again, Lonermutant, we are all individuals, and do not all share your history. Some of us experienced severe abuse as children; I, fortunately, did not, but some did. Most of us had horrid experiences in school, and wish to ignore that entire period - but some of us, especially since the advent of early diagnosis, assistance programs, and the PC movement that has made bullying less acceptable than it once was, have not been so horribly traumatized.

You really need to re-examine your preconceptions, LM, and look into painting with less broad a brush.

If he met that girl in real life, I think the only one complaining would be LonerMutant. I just personally don't see the point in talking to someone on the internet that lives nowhere near you and may or may not be the person you think they are.

Come, come, people. She sure is pretty, but not so drop-dead-gorgeous as to be at all improbable. In any sufficiently large population (the AS community for example) there's bound to be at least some attractive people. I wish seanmw the very best of luck with his GF!

Social isolation has never been a protective measurement for me, nor have I ever felt the need not to trust anybody but myself...at least not socially.

Hey, moderators! Isn't calling someone a troll classed as a personal insult? I assume you've sent a moderator warning to Lonermutant?

I'm not trying to rain on his parade, I'm just being realistic. A girl that looks like that wouldn't look for random friends from other states on myspace and certainly wouldn't want an internet boyfriend.

A year or two ago when I was bored and had nothing better to do, I just stole pics from someone's myspace and pretended to be a hot girl just to see the responses I'd get and laugh at the guys who actually thought they were talking to a hot girl. It's very easy to pretend to be someone you aren't on the internet. So for him to be on cloud nine because he has an internet girlfriend that he's never met and likely won't meet for months or years, yes, we have a right to be cynical.

The thing I have to say though - she is attractive, but, she's IMO an eight; that's a sixty yard hatrick to a guy who's been single for a while or a guy as esoteric as an aspie but, its not that far above and beyond. There are plenty of NT's walking around at that level, if you've seen the WP picture threads there are plenty of women with AS there and upward; his situation is unlikely but its not exactly like a godess is swooping down off of Mt. Olympus to take him (and from his photo's - he'd be dating at about his level). There are some small odds of that but I wouldn't call it anything close to true certainty.

That's it? The smallest apartments around here start at $1000 at the lowest-income neighborhoods...

it's split 3 ways haha. i'm only paying a third =P

The thing about it, if you guys 'really' hit it off, enough to close the distance, I'd actually recommend moving out her way. If she's up for Indianapolis its a nice town, very inexpensive place to live and it seems like their economy is going pretty solid as well.

HAS the OP spoken to her on the phone, and/or ummm....maybe spoken to her through webcam.

If not, then I would be suspicious...there is something about her that seems too good to be true...

Is that photo the only photo the OP has seen of the girl?

I don't mean to be a hater or a parade rainer...

I just get a funny vibe from the air-brushed perfectness of the photograph....and the expression on her face.

Were I to court a long-distance internet person...i would really want more concrete evidence that the person were real...

But lucky-me...despite all odds, I seem to have spectrumy males coming out of my ears...so it is not an issue.

ok, let's see, now:

Wikipedia wrote:

Troll (Internet) - In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Seanmw's post clearly doesn't fit this description.

now, let's take a look at one of your recent threads:

Lonermutant wrote:

It's all about getting laid... Can't you people at least try to get over and past that?!
NT women want alpha males for breeding. We want alpha females for casual porn-like sex. We should get past that and accept that we are Aspies, not virgins. We are not supposed to have sex if we struggle socially. We are not genetically programmed for having kids.

there. fits perfectly.

I say you're not just a troll, you're the king of fridgin trolls, considering how long you've managed to hang around this forum without a ban.

Wow, I don't know which deity you prayed to or lucky charm you're holding, but it sounds like you've got a great situation set up if you play your cards right. My advice having been on that cloud and fallen off is whatever you do, don't take the situation for granted, or a seemingly beatable obstacle like the long-distance factor can become a ticking time bomb. Having your finances, grades, living and travel situation under control can be every bit as important as the time you spend with her.

Lonermutants sn says it all: he's a sexually frustrated loser who has nothing better to do but rain on every else's parade. You are a true loser.
