Post Reply New Topic

I can't remember if I alread posted this a few months back or not. I do know I drafted it a few months back. Anyway, if I accidentally already posted this, here it is again! The relationship poll...

I was with my 1st two girlfriends for about 6 months each & we were long distance. I was long distance with my current girlfriend for about 6 months before we moved in together & we've been living together for over 3 years now.

I dont think all the virgins on this site is from aspergers, I think its from being computer forum dwellers. I never heard of all the aspies cant date thing til I found this site.

Well I want to test it out, and maybe even see if there's a gender difference while I'm at it. Gender differences has been a very common, re-occuring discussion here so an actual poll might change things.

Though, this thread hasn't gotten as much attention yet as I might have expected. Hopefully it does.

So, so far 28% of answers have NEVER had a relationship.

Nope.

But some people go through the entire lives without getting married and I don't mean religious people.

I think that this is an interesting poll.
I'd like to see how gender and age affect things...
BUT, it'd be hard to get an accurate answer.
First off, if not enough people respond, you won't get a sampling big enough to be representative.
Also, if there are more males here, you will get more male answers, which will not make an accurate comparison between males and females.

Still interesting, though.

I would say the majority here have had at least one relationship throughout their lives.

Obviously, the younger the person, the more likely the person hasn't had a relationship. But once people get past 30, most people would have had relationships on WP.

What option does one choose if they are exactly 25, 35, 45, or between 45 and 50?

And no. I'm 19, never been in a relationship or on a date.

You'd be surprised how many Aspies here are married and have kids.

I would say at least a quarter of those over 30.

I'm married, with no children

And for the rest?

The rest haven't had a relationship yet....but I don't judge.

Everything must have "its time," in my opinion.

If a person starts his/her first relationship at 50, and gets happily married until they're in their 80s, that's more than 30 years of happiness!

I'm 36. I had my first girlfriend at 18, though that was a mess, got married in my early 20s, separated late 20s for a few years during which I had a 1 year relationship, and then later got back with Mrs Hopper.

Yeah, I wondered that.



It is. Hopefully enough numbers will come in to give it a good sample.

But it will depend on the male/female split of WP, how those visiting L&D splits male/female as well as how likely it is those who are in a relationship are likely to come here as opposed to those who aren't.

There might also be an issue with self-reporting, in that those who have never had a relationship may be more likely to say so than those who have, it being a more pressing issue for them.

I have never been in a romantic relationship.
