Reason #11--You scare all the autistic women away from the autism support forum that is your only social outlet, thereby preventing developing relationships with women who might actually understand what you're going through and could be a potential dating pool, one that statistically you would likely have a way better chance of finding success in than the larger mostly neurotypical dating pool that is the rest of the world that doesn't understand what it's like to be autistic. Dating between autistic people would be way more common if more women felt safe to share here and were welcomed to this forum rather than chased away. Don't you guys want women to come here and talk to you????? Stop pushing us (autistic women) all away and you might have better luck dating with people that you can really connect with because they get you in ways that NTs don't, are comfortable with your weirdness because they are weird themselves, and will encourage you to be yourself and will be themselves around you.
Well not everyone actually wants online friendships here.
To be honest I am very lonely but hate the idea of online friendships or relationships. It's not them but me, and it seems no matter how much I try and like them it doesn't work.
I don't ever message anyone on here anymore through PM and no one ever messages me back. I communicate through the forums though. Either way no, I'm not pushing anyone away at all online. I talk to all people equally and respectfully as much as I can. As in I've had friendly conversations with all kinds of people from girls my age, to adult aspie women, to other males my age, to adult aspie men, etc.
It makes no difference, I've made no friends here only some minor acquaintances.
Anyway, how do you suggest then that we don't push aspie females away? My posts are completely normal, it's just I'm too anti-social online more than anything else (even for an aspie).
