Aspie Affection

Post Reply New Topic

I'm thinking about signing up. Kind of. I have, more or less, given up on the whole dating scene, but I figure "what have i got to lose?". I am just wondering your opinions on the site. Is it worth the trouble? And I noticed it requires your name and address. I'm not sure I feel comfortable having that out there. That is information that I would keep to myself until I'd established a friendship.

the site is broken, so i would advise against signing up. i.e. people can't log back in after leaving the site, or they can't retieve messages. there are serious security problems.

Ah. Well, thank you for the heads-up. I won't screw around with it.

some people have success on OKCupid, and some even post on there that they are aspies.

Yeah, OkCupid seems pretty good, have had a few people say hello, seems like a reasonable site. Love the Edward avatar btw!

Eh, I won't bother with dating site for now. Haha, yeah Ed's awesome.

Aspie Affection = fail.

I was on it for a while- talked for a week or so with a lower-functioning individual before concluding the communication gap too great.
I deleted my account, and recently heard he's been bitterly insulting me on Facebook.

The site's basic functionality is a huge issue, as well- I couldn't even access my inbox for about a month before I deleted it.

All I have is a Zoosk account, and even then I rarely ever go on there.

But I'm very, very leery about online dating. You've got the hackers who want to upload viruses, the scammers, and the odd Internet GIRL (Guy In Real Life). If whoever I get a hit with doesn't turn out to be a guy posing as a girl, it might be some lying fugly dog, and I don't take kindly to liars.

I got an error code page everything I tried to do a search & then I started getting the code page after I tried to log in. I'm extremely surprised people can still register for it because I got that error code page the last time when i tried to register a new account due to the problems I was having logging in. Alex needs to take that broken site down.


That's an idea to try but it never worked for me personally & I used it for a couple years. I would suggest trying to meet people here on WP or at least keep your eyes open for posters who may meet your dating criteria. I met one person on here when I wasn't exactly trying to meet anyone here. I used lots of dating sites for years & never had so much as one date on them

Really I am on there and no one says hello and when I send a message to a person who says they are tired of superficial people that don't leave a message all of a sudden become superficial and do not respond to me-I put in my profile that I am an aspie so it is right up front.

dunno why you are assuming they don't reply because they are superficial, Radiofixr - maybe they just aren't interested.

some people do have success on OKCupid, others don't... i have no idea why.

EDIT: maybe try a different dating site? you may have more success on another site.

A better idea would be to put faith into going out in the world and finding someone, you'll learn the internet, especially dating sites, are generally not the greatest place to meet someome

In a perfect world it would be like that but if you live in a rural area, cant drive & the main places to meet people are bars, casinos & church & your a straight-edge Secular Humanist like me; the internet is probably your best option unless you have friends or family who would set you up

Yes but if you aren't open to the idea of relocating, the chances of meeting someone compatible from the Internet that lives locally are very slim. If you live in a Rural area, the best thing to do is relocate to a City where there will be local events, activities and classes.

There's still a chance you could meet someone online who would be willing to relocate to your area; a mail-order bride is an extreme example; I would try that if I had the money & skills to travel to another country. I am very willing to relocate thou & I think it makes a lot more sense to relocate after I meet someone instead of moving hoping to meet someone because there is no guarantee that I would meet someone that area either. It would also be a lot easier for me to move in with with a partner instead of getting my own place & then maybe having to move after we do get together
