And here you all thought it couldn't be any worse than a potato. BEHOLD, my spirit vegetable is Cabbage.

CABBAGE
Cabbage thrives in cool weather, which is probably why it has all those layers to peel back! Once you get to know this humble member of the brassica family, you'll find a thoughtful, grounded individual who loves to get cozy and hibernate. While you may initially overlook it in the produce section, cabbage is a seriously versatile and industrious vegetable that is delicious shredded raw (tacos, anyone?), grilled, or braised for hours until it caramelizes into a sweet, luscious heap. You heard it here first: Cabbage is bringing sexy back.


:heart: cabbage is the new fennel :heart:

So many men think they have to be a hot pepper, but who doesn't like cabbage?


Me :lol: But as usual, I’m probably the outlier. And I don’t like hot peppers, either, I’m extremely sensitive to their heat to the point that even just black peppercorns hurt my tongue (ground, sometimes they are okay, but whole or halved or coarsely ground, nope). Also hate what would probably be classified as a hot pepper personality.

You should try the Czech/Slovak cabbage and potato dumpling recipe, a genius invention.

I think the real question here is: Do women just not understand that when we appear potato-esque, we're only trying to photosynthesize? :?:

Anyway, it took 60 or so pages but I think this thread finally explained something.

It's not a bat soup, the ingredients are very basic.

I do rather love cabbage, and much prefer it over hot peppers.

I am not sure if this advice is ever given, but I think most women that have ever approached me did so because I was able to make them laugh. The humor should not insult or offend them, but it should be something they can relate to and understand so be sure it's not a niche topic. I mostly used self deprecating humor as a mask only because it came natural to me.


Well, look at you.

How cute of you 3 ladies implying that aspie men are emotionless, hobby addict, and neglecting jerks.... and just lifeless potatoes.


Pardon me?

Nope -- I wasn't implying that at all. I was referring to my three boyfriends who were 1) closet gay NT, incapable of lifting his arse of the chair to do anything, and completely passive in the relationship in every conceivable way 2) closet gay sadistic NT with addictions, who lived with his mother and didn't work (for no reason -- nothing to do with disability), who took more time, effort, patience and money than he could give to his own baby toe 3) closet gay passive man who never touched me, emotionally or physically. Also NT.

That comment had nothing to do with autistic men. I've been on WP supporting men and saying I love autistic men, that I act like an autistic man more than an autistic woman, and that I would love to date an autistic man ... for the past three years.

That was really off the mark.

I saw mp's comment and identified. It had nothing to do with the OP's comment so I'm sorry if it was taken the wrong way.

My new guy is NT and so far not passive or needy, but I haven't been able to see him since March because of lockdown.
I'm a little frustrated when it comes to relationships, I guess.

Note: I mention the fact they were / are gay, only because I was trying to get closer emotionally / romantically / physically or in terms of moving the relationships forward, but there was always a wall between us that I couldn't understand or trespass. At the time I had no idea of their orientation and I had nothing to compare because they were the only people I'd dated. I invested a lot in these relationships (not to mention 20 years of my life), not understanding why the relationships weren't progressing normally. It was frustrating. I wanted a partner who was equally into the relationship, but couldn't find such a person. I'm still best friends with one of them but the dating dynamic was always beyond our reach.



What were the chances you would connect with 3 gay guys not interested in finding a gay partner?
That is "Guinness Book of Records" stuff. 8O

A building where random people gather for services is not where you get attention. You get attention attending groups, asking questions, offering help and then honestly admitting you're not really a believer.
But if these kind of activities don't seem fun to you, look elsewhere. Last time we were talking, you admitted you like trekking and other excursions to the nature. While now we're still in the lockdowns, I still think a trip or two after the regulations ease would be fun and great occasion to meet people who would simply like you.

On,y groups around here are for kids.

I don’t own a car. I haven’t been to nature in 4 years or so and as long as I don’t have any friends willing to take me I’ll never see nature again.


I gather you don't get on with workmates?
Even *I* had superficial semi-friendships when I was working.
They can then introduce you to other people.


Why would they want a poor min wage friend? The women at work have told me I’m not good enough to date they won’t introduce me to their friends.

I still maintain the idea that us aspie women just want something more than a potato. Like you have to at least have a personality aside from...' I am nice potato date meeeeee!' because a lot of times those nice potatoes turn out to be bad potatoes. LIke if you have an S.O and you ignore them constantly for games or basement time or whatever...they will leave. You are probably a potato if the gf leaves due to neglect and you never spending time with her, because you are always in a game or have some other excuse why you cannot spend any time with them. Then finally the girl leaves and some guys are like...'whaaaa i only just barley got acknowledged here while doing a 7 day video game binge, the least she could do is stick around and have sex whenever i feel like it.'

Its like no, sorry potato but you don't just get to get connections with people, end said connections by ignoring people and then b***h when a female acquaintance from the days of old just simply doesn't want to have sex with you, because you turned up after they moved on. LIke don't be a potato if you are in a LTR, both people need to participate a lot to make an long term relationship work...if one of you is a potato it doesn't work. LIke seriously both people have to participate or it ends in a divorce.


Does this go for women who play video games.
Didn’t you use to just play games and smoke weed?

See I don’t want to date so,e outdoors woman who needs to constantly be doing stuff I want a gamer girl or atleast a homebody. Seems really mean to call inoverts and homebody men potatoes.
