Dating doesn't become easier past age 25, it exponentially becomes harder. Period.

Sociologically, aesthetically and economically disadvantaged males tend to be desperate because dateless males tend to be desperate and most guys want dates. Looking around the Love and Dating forum seems to rest my case..

looking in the Love & Dating forum for evidence of lonely people is like looking in the bathroom for people who need to urinate. this is where people logically go when they need advice because things are not working out in that aspect of their lives, just like people go to the bathroom when they need to use it.

if things ARE going well for members, they are not going to spend as much time in here for a few reasons:

...one reason is the overwhelming negativity, especially in a gender-specific sense
...also people who are in a romantic relationsip are busy out in the real world doing stuff with their mate
...another reason is that coming in here with success stories can sometimes backfire and lead to accusations of "showing off", and implications that people who do well in a romantic sense must be higher functioning overall
...and one last example... people who are coupled logically don't need to seek as much advice

you're also taking a leap that men in this forum are somehow examples of people who are disadvantaged in ways other than having AS. don't see how that is the case by default.

I know it's different for sociologically, aesthetically and economically disadvantaged females because there are many guys who'll hit on anything with a pootang, but still, that's not an accurate characterization of sociologically, aesthetically and economically disadvantaged males.

welll... the thread is about dating, not about getting hit on for sex.
