Perhaps you have not noticed the plethora of posts dismissing the struggles that females with AS face because "we can get laid more easily".


Are your standards to high what are you looking for ?

Ask yourself, what would be more likely to get a woman to be friends with you:

1) Tell her she only dates men for money and is entitled
2) Take an interest in her and learn how to talk to her.

Theres no point in complaining that women wont be friends with you if you have a poor opinion of them to start with. Why would they want to be friends with someone who thinks that of them?

I'm not looking.

And I wasn't referring just to struggles with dating/social stuff; I meant all AS-related problems.

If I was looking I'd prefer someone poor like me, as they wouldn't have the expectation that I could just pull money out of my arse when they felt like going out.

lol, you really think I tell girls in real life that? I'm only purposefully irascible online, you see.

Anyway, my comment was directed to the fundamental problem guys with Aspergers have in general, not me. As far as I know, I have no more trouble talking to women than I do men.

Well even if I had all the money in the world I would stilll not "go out" that sounds boring :)

And I'd still go to Sydney in a tent eating $1.99 Aldi chcoclate at Manly beach. :oops:

yep I'm living the life :D

Addressing #1 only.

We are not here for dates, we are here to talk about dating.
This is one step above actually dating and is more analytical in nature.

Women date for marriage. Dating wise they are usually reciprocal financially. I believe that lifetime, it should also be a 50/50 split out of fairness.

She typically believes the man is supposed to be the financial cornerstone. She wants him to buy a house for her and the kids. And all the stuff that goes with it.

She dates men for financial stability later in life.

Younger women sometimes take this even further, expecting a car, a trip to Europe, and such.

do you have any sources to support any of your statements? if you want to take this a step up to any sort of intellectual discussion then you need to back up your generalisations with some kind of scholarly sources. otherwise, you are only expressing opinions, which is not analytical at all.

in Canada women make up close to 50% of the workforce, with fluctuations above and below that mark depending on the economy, so all of the married women don't seem to be relying on anyone as their financial cornerstone. (source)

in the United States, the proportion is similar, though the gender gap in employment status has not been closed to the same degree. (source)

oh, and people DO meet and date on the forum. just because you are not seeking to do that doesn't mean the same for other members.

Dont you realise that that is rather a soulless thing for most women, just having sex with random guys? And do you really think that women never get rejected?


Where did I say that women NEVER get rejected?????
I just said that women are less likely to be perpetually rejected. Most of them also have an easier time getting short-term relationships and dates, which adds up to experience! Therefore, I feel that fewer of them are stuck having nothing but their own thoughts to go by when thinking about who is right for them. While they're wallowing in all their failed relationships, they're learning real, concrete things about what works or doesn't work for them.

And addressing the earlier part of your question, it isn't just "random" sex that they likely have an easier time getting. It's even sex that has some sort of friendship or at least decent conversation to go with it, whether you label it "friends with benefits" or a "short-term relationship". I would prefer sex with a girl who is fascinating (which likely involves both appearance as well as personality and something about how her mind works), than just any random girl, too.

I think I'd like them, too. The "starving" part is not because that's attractive in itself, but because it shows they prioritize ideas and/or creativity over dealing with the real world.

I give up. There is no point in arguing with people who will not listen.
