Hello, everyone. This has to be my....gazillionth post by now. But let me just start by saying for the first time in a long time I got a great night's sleep. :D Anyway, I, like everyone else, is learning lessons everyday. Now well rested, with a cup of coffee, and a Chinese movie playing, I give a little insight as to what clarity I had conjured during my time in meditation. I'm going to do my typically weird "noddle dance", that way I can think as good as I did, last time. I tried to do this earlier, but one of the cats was getting in my way constantly, so I just decided to sit down for a moment. But once she stopped, I got up and danced my noodle away. After about, maybe, 2 minutes or so, I came back to sit down. Upon entering the room, I noticed one of the men in the movie I had playing was wearing a cap with that silly looking ball on top of it, sorta like the hat Gohan wore from the anime I watched as a kid, Dragon Ball Z(it's fan base was over 9000! :lol:). I shouldn't make fun of culture I have been following since I could remember following it, but it is kinda goofy. I'm kinda getting bored of these Asian movies, maybe I'll turn on Adventure Time or something. But anyway, I made one more pass, now I'm back and I'll tell you the epiphanies that had manifested while I was in deep thought.

1.) Ladies my age aren't women
Girls my age are just that, girls. They're wiser than when they started, but they're still just girls. Sorta like I'm still a boy, though I'm smarter than when I started. Either way you slice it, maturity is a major factor. But anyway, my coffee's in the microwave, warming back up.

2.) I'll be honest, I've had just as many bad males in my life
To tell you the truth, their were just as many rude, vitriolic males in my life as females. I had friends who, on random occasions, would call me psycho, even though half the sh** they say, they deserve no real patient friends. The reason females made fun of me was because of something their boyfriends started, their just mechanically following in lockstep with what their boyfriend does because if they don't, the love of their life, or who feels like him, will leave them.

3.) Girls my age aren't that smart
According to a study done by Wechsler, 75% of the US has an IQ of about 100 or lower, I have an IQ of about 120, which is expected of college graduates. It's odd because I only attended college, I never graduated. So, you'd imagine a girl's idea of Asperger's is kinda warped. You'll have a group of girls that think people with Asperger's are computer whizzes and ask them to repair their laptops, then you have the girls who think that Aspies are mentally challenged and incapable of fulfilling them romantically. They aren't stupid, but they aren't brilliant, either.

4.) I'm not financially or emotionally ready for a long-term relationship
I still need to get rid of my issues and find a career that makes me good money and isn't stressful. I'm making good headway on my emotional issues, but I still need to establish my roots in the workforce so I can afford to support my potential wife. If I get her knocked up, I'd like her to confide in me for support while a bun's in the oven, more specifically, MY bun in HER oven :oops:.

5.) I need, and should, focus on my own life instead of being part of someone else's
The one, and possibly most debilitating, problem is wanting to share my life with someone. The above reasons are why I should just be happy being me and pursue my needs and wants. I don't have the finances, emotional stamina, or time to fulfill the wants and needs of two people, not yet anyway. I mean, I was raised by my mother to be sweet, considerate, and gentle, but I can't offer a stable relationship, I'm just not well-rooted enough for that kind of emotional pressure, I'd be prone to panic attacks. Besides, I have a lot of time, I'll just have fun while I can. In short, I have a bit of growing up to do.

These are just a few lessons I'm learning, and I still have a long way to go. But until then, I'm going to enjoy myself and pursue a rewarding career. So, that being said, Teiraa out!

Isn't that a sign that the test is crap, then? I thought IQ tests were supposed to be normed so that about 50% of the population was average or below.

    Don't wait for 'perfection', 'good', or even 'better'. Seize life and love whenever, wherever you can, don't wait.

This, of course is your call, it's pretty normal to want to share one's life with someone. It's part of the reason why there are 7,000,000,000 of us.

I should have elaborated on that a little more. 50% were 95-100 IQ(average), 25% were 94%-60 IQ(below average to mentally challenged), and 25% 110-160 IQ(above average to genius). Thanks for pointing that out. :thumright:
