) as if I were a little girl wearing Mommy's high heels and lipstick.I have had this problem many times with trying to talk to women. I end up without even wanting to doing most the talking. The women just could not come up with anything to talk about I had to keep bringing up topics. It is like people have just lost the ability to talk to others and think up conversations. Ya trying to talk about science things or whatever tends to make people go dumb mode pretty quickly they won't even try they just say oh wow you are smart then thats the end of it.
Exactly! To top it off, because I'm a girl this is somehow intimidating. It's as if I'm expected to be a bimbo because I was born with a vagina.

The two things are not mutually exclusive, Boo. This is one of the things that irks me about the whole geek v nerd debate. In the end, none of us really fits completely under one or the other. The disconnect, as far as I can tell, seems to be more that women tend not to speak much of their scientific interests. I know I don't all that often. Not because I can't hold a conversation on a few of the subjects, but because I rarely find anyone capable of holding their own in one. I get tired of hearing myself speak while their eyes glaze over in disinterest or counter with opinions instead of fact, then pat me on the head (usually figuratively but sometimes literally
) as if I were a little girl wearing Mommy's high heels and lipstick.Once again, you're different from most women.
Most women love talking about themselves. Maybe the men that you date don't ask good questions that are meaningful to you.
Once again, I am not atypical. If I were, there wouldn't be TONS of other women complaining about EXACTLY THIS ISSUE. Your determination to set me apart from the rest in order to protect your delusions is really getting on my nerves. Just quit speaking to me if it's all you have to offer.

Social stereotypes ftw! I want my sandwich and beer now I am already sitting on the couch watching the game. HURRY!
*ducks and covers*
Yeah... I'm far more likely to shove you off the couch, take your spot, and yell at the TV. Especially if my team is losing.

I may shut down mine. It's no use, and besides, I already found someone.

Great, now you're defining me by your model.
'Pick up' - that's chavtastic. Really classy that.
You completely divorce yourself from the model that you are answered to, and I'll answer your question. Any answer I currently give you will be distorted by your worldmodel, and your frame though.
One thing I thought WP would teach me is that adults with aspergers think like me...I've learned that they do not. I think there's part of the reason for me being on WP answered, there and then. I can't tell you the sadness I feel at that, that 'intellectual' isolation, (not really intellectual, more of a willingness to move beyond a narrow definition of what one is, and not to think in a linear way so beloved by those NT folks) but hey ho - as long as one wets their wick, all's jolly good to a twentysomething, right? 
Perhaps I'm no good at relationships at all. Perhaps my name's Keef and I sleep in a bath, and this is some weak ego boost. I could tell you any old crap. Where's the good old proof, eh?
Or perhaps I'm gay. Does it really matter? It's not about me. It's all about you, baby, you you you!
Oh, and question for thou:
If you behave like a lift, how will you survive in a long-term relationship?
