Hey, I was just wondering. On this forum you see many, MANY posts like:

Hey, I'm new. anyone wanna chat?

Some people are already calling it the r*tarded dating service. Well I was just wondering if
A: One of these posts ever got a serious answer and
B: If somebody ever got a serieus answer, did something really happen?
I mean, these people can't find anybody in the "real" world. So they go to WP to look for some one, and suddenly they can take the next steps like dating (online?:S)

What's your opinion on this? (Oh and plz don't go like: "they are all r*tarded ngh said" I think everyone on WP has read that a dozen times already)

Since when does asking someone to chat means you are looking for someone to date?

There are quite a few people here that asks others to chat because they are looking for people to chat with.

You're right I'm sorry I gave the wrong example. I really ONLY mean the messages like:

"Hey, any sexy females interested in a sexy male stud who happens to be diagnosed with Asperger's?"

and

"Hello I'm 18/m/california seeking a girlfriend. anyone intrested?"

Where have they read that a dozen times? A half dozen times? 3 times?

You should refer people like that to AspieAffect.
Okay, so who's calling it "the r*tarded dating service?"

Oh, I didn't read more. I think he must be kidding. In fact, I think everybody in that thread must be kidding.

Okay, so where are the dozen "they are all r*tarded ngh said?"

The ret*d Dating Service is a joke that I make because... well, because of the spate of posts we had of people saying they were basically looking for an aspie hookup, it seemed like people thought this forum was a dating service for ret*ds. I'm not being serious about it. I take the same liberty when referring oneself with the word 'ret*d' that a black guy can with the n-word, it's only ever meant in jest.

I don't know about serious answers. I seriously answered someone's post when they started a kind of, dating profile thread once, but it didn't work out in the end. She lived too far away, hot though she was.

Well, I encourage everyone who is looking for a hook-up or more to use AspieAffect because 1) the women there are looking for that kind of attention and 2) they can block you if they find you to be a rude and obnoxious boor.
