They do...but here's the thing

On this forum (WP) the number of women who are openly desperate about not getting a date = 0
Whereas the number of men on this forum who are openly desperate = hundreds

I've seem males on WP who sincerely jut want female companionship from single autistic women who get ignored and talk about "ending it" or not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

That's my impression too. But your views are respected. As a male I risk getting my posts deleted.

Actually, I was defending you from the generalization Issy said. She is the one who spoke in your name (and of all wp women), not me.


Where did I speak on behalf of all WP women?

I recall saying "I can't think of any .... " but didn't say there weren't any.


Here, it is pretty obvious english:

The women have spoken. We like tummies.


Also the "I can't think of any..." is also a sweeping generalization.


Nope, I can't agree.
But nice try. :mrgreen:

Popcorn, anyone? :scratch:

Just because fewer women are posting about it or are posting less often, doesn’t mean that they struggle less. Correlation does not equal causation.

There may be other reasons why female posters are less likely to express their difficulty with finding someone.

How many times does this have to be stated before someone gets it?

Looks sometimes matter---but that doesn't mean people who aren't conventionally attractive should just lie down and play dead.

It's obvious to me that at least 99% of people "have a chance." The ones who "don't have a chance" usually are those who read too much social science studies, and don't realize that people are individuals, not statistics.

I once had a girlfriend who was "hot." She left me for someone who was even less "conventionally attractive" than I was.


Are you suggesting: "attractive ppl are attractive"? 8O
Get outta here. <satire> 8)

The "bell curve" looks sort of like a belly if one turns the image 90 degrees.

The "girlfriend" was as NT as they come....she just didn't like it that I didn't like to "party."


To me, that "Rorschach test" looks more like a boobie.
Possibly, Boo's boobie.
I wonder what that says about you and me? :scratch:

But does this issue really need to be data driven? the writing has been on the wall now years before you were born.

It’s sad that we’re trying to help WP men feel less insecure about their bodies whether they have a tummy or they’re short, or they have beards, or they aren’t a 10, or they don’t have a great job or a great car, or high cheekbones or hunter eyes or a foot-long dick.

I guess they don’t wanna hear it. They’d rather hate themselves and blame women for it.

It’s sad that I was going to tell Boo he was handsome in that pic with his GF, but he’d likely think I was attacking him.

The whole thing is BS. I give up.

Fend for yourselves boys, and good luck with that.

I did okay with average looks, below-average height, no car, a clerical job, only a high school diploma (until age 45), and not much prospect for the future.

Really....it takes having the confidence to know that all those stereotypes as portrayed in the media are just a bunch of crap.

There's a very high rate of divorce, and multiple divorce, amongst the "beautiful people."

Bit sexist though, to delete posts written by a man on this subject but not by a woman. I mean you're not offending anyone. You're just stating the obvious that most women here can't admit to.

Pepe, please! It's like we're all standing in a circle having a heated debate and you're dancing around between us cracking your jokes. :P

I should reiterate I'm referring to the frequent flyers in this thread.
They know who they are.

The great ones know who they are, too.
I hope I don't need to name names.

Not saying women don't have problems with men but there are a lot more posts of men saying "I feel lonely, I can't find a girlfriend" than women saying that about a boyfriend. Usually women here have had boyfriends but have been mistreated by men, while usually men here have never had any girlfriends and are feeling lonely and behind their peers.

I think that's what the others in this thread are trying to say.


That is what I have observed, also.

I have read that statistically autistic men are more likely to have trouble finding a date than autistic women are.

So many women here have partners and openly talk about it, while so many men here are single and openly talk about it.


I have read this also.
