My Aspie girl's a tricky one :p...

Post Reply New Topic

I just went through the whole thread. I posted a pic of myself, and a pic of a famous actress that looked like my ex, to make the point that you don't need to be a male model to meet a girl on a dating site.

How kind of you Lotusblossom: another one for the list:

Let me see, here's the list of names I've been called in this thread:

holier than thou
bizarre
annoying
jaded
crucifier
liar
patronizing
witch hunter
Aspie fetishist
creepy
Get a kick out of feeling superior to aspies

Just so we're clear, I'm intentionally ignoring your demands to justify myself to you, because I don't owe you any type of justification or explanation. But feel free to continue demanding, and insulting - you're quite good at it.

@Lotusblossom: you are the "gift" that keeps on giving, eh?

very odd

I'm not sure what you mean by "insult," but this is what I mean: "to treat or speak to insolently or with contemptuous rudeness; affront." So, calling someone a fetishist, creepy, very odd, and accusing them of getting a kick out of feeling superior to people with a disability fits that definition of an "insult" quite well. How you choose to live your life, Lotusblossom (which forums you'd like to participate in) - is totally and completely your business. How I choose to live my life, is totally and completely my business. If the choices I make don't make sense to you, I can live with that.

I think LB is saying is it's creepy to come here and post and she isn't an aspie, doesn't have a partner on the spectrum, doesn't have a child on the spectrum, or a friend or relative or a student, etc.

People who come here are either on the spectrum or suspecting it or think they could be but aren't sure, know someone who is, or they have a similar condition it's like AS.

^ Who says I don't know someone who is on the spectrum, League_Girl? Or does it make more sense to assume that I'm a fetishist? More to the point, it's anyone's right to disagree with anything I've said. That right does not extend to questioning my motivation for commenting in the first place.

Grrr...I wanted to quote someone and now I can't seem find that comment again. It was the one about "shouting from the rooftops."

That's exactly my thought. I wasn't on the web back when I was a teenager, but I remember being young and being infatuated with someone new...and I remember talking nonstop about my new boyfriend, and showing his picture to my family (my friends all pretty much knew him in person or I'm sure I WOULD have been showing them his picture too). I don't really understand why what he's done is being constituted as "bragging" per se. I mean, there's plenty of room for argument about the wisdom of putting pictures on the internet at all, but trashing his motives as having been awful doesn't seem right.

If this is a forum he considers to be made up of friends, why is it weird that he wanted to show his friends the girl he's crazy about? Why is it automatically nasty bragging?

(I understand that I'm new here, and there seems to be some history that I haven't been exposed to, but looking at this thread as it stands on its own, it just doesn't seem that bad to me.)

Hopegrows, I think you have some real issues with men. You seem to think they all behave with evil intent, objectify women, etc, you see evil where there is not.

Maybe you know someone with AS, maybe you dont, but I wonder why you are at a forum which contains not only lots of males, but women with male-like minds too... you have to think like a man and actually like men, to be happy here...

I cannot understand why you would want to spend time here when it is a place where , in your mind, you would find evil lurking in every corner.

And for the men here, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. If any of you post pictures of women in the future, I would like to see them completely covered up from head to foot, perhaps in a burqa, like ET here.
