Their lettuce wrapped burgers are decent. That's about all I can have, though. I'm gluten intolerant. It's sent me to the hospital twice in the span of 6 months.

Oh no. My condolences. I'd be nothing without my junk food.

I had gluten-free stuff forced on me once. I think I spat it out like a grumpy 5 year old.

I don't generally eat gluten free products. I eat stuff that isn't supposed to have gluten in it in the first place, like salads without croutons, meat and potatoes, fish... etc. There's lots of ways to avoid those nasty cardboard gluten-free products.

^ This one's offtopic too. Please keep all discussions to a logical ontopic debate and avoid resorting to any form of emotional bonding.

State your opinions, in a concise manner, then, restate them when compared to differing opinions.

Thankfully, this thread is about emotions being better. Or something.

I dunno about other people, but I have this instinctive urge whenever I come across a girl I think is a good person to start telling myself "you should date her", even though I'm not at all attracted to them. Literally every single one. The only way I really know that I don't actually find her attractive is through thinking logically about it and deciding that I'm just changing my standards to account for my loneliness. Even though it happens EVERY time, I still have to spend a while figuring it out and forcing it out of my brain...

So I guess theres a scenario where thinking logically is useful, albeit it still leaves me "forever alone" (I don't think that though, really)

I remember the one time I did feel really strongly for someone in a relationship nothing I did made sense, and everything I didn't do I thought logically about. Those things I didn't do made it go down the shitter, sooo...

Its kinda like newcombs problem irl. Logically, everything we know about decision theory tells us you should always pick both boxes (and get $1000). If you want to win, you pick one box (and get $1000000). Logically, you should put loads of thought and effort into getting a girl (and consequently screw it up). If you want to actually have a successful relationship, just do what comes naturally (and eventually get exactly what you want).

Edit- Now I'm wondering about the percentage of economists in successful relationships...

^ Alot of them got fired after the recession mess-up... #divorce

Btw, i had to read that three times. For trying to apply some radical form of chaos-theory to a relationship, i can only offer you temporary member status.

And... yes. I agree, i think.

It clicked one day. I have empathy now. It has downsides i didn't expect. It's going somewhat poorly, since people tend to suck at new things. That's how you know it's true.

I'm not sure where I implied chaos theory, but coolbeans. Do I get like, a VIP badge or something?

Also, which bit are you think you're agreeing with, specifically?

If you are in a relationship and contantly have to think about it, then there is something fundementally wrong with it.

*I recommend reading with epic music*


so aspies think they're forever alone too soon?


ur not forever alone until the day you will never get a gf which is when the future of you getting a gf is impossible that is when you are forever alone. But luckily the future can be changed so go out there and get a gf to save humanity from lack of diverse human beings. We all cant be hee-mans but we all have a right to live on from our decendents.

Women already do little to no logical thinking so makes sense. :evil:

This is why spirituality matters to me. Easier to be present. There are reasons why I read the bible, and other books like the Power of Now. Overthinking = your mind controlling you which also means FEAR.

I will once again post a link here to one of my better received blog entries.

Just so you know, there's a membership fee. Thankfully, its in pesos.

I might have some in a drawer someplace. :) are you saying that now that I have a partner I should put my aforementioned limitations out of my mind? as far as liked versus accepted, I never had either before.

Methinks the lonely men should find themselves and know themselves first before they go hoaking through the GF trees.

You don't have to think about it, that's the whole idea.
Thinking about the relationship or thinking you should think about the relationship, is more about being aspie, than about the relationship, generally.

Hence, this thread.

Most can't see the forest for the gf trees.
