| For every adult woman who likes jerks, there's an adult man who "likes" unstable and selfish psycho women. Some people are easy to manipulate, and may choose to ignore red flags. Aspie men often get burned by BPD women, aspie women often get burned by sociopath men. |

| Tried to find a way to ask her out today, but chickened out at last minute. I asked her what she was doing this weekend. She told me what she was doing, but I didn't escalate after this. Then suddenly became very chatty, but didn't really know what to make of it. A sh!tty thing about AS is overthink... |

| An analogy I like, is the one with a sheet of paper. A sheet of paper will appear 3 dimensional only if you look closely. It will have a little thickness and be bumpy and have a rough texture up close. Your brain will approximate it as 2 dimensional and only care about the length and width, though. |

| The problem with that is why bother to prosper? That in itself will collapse large industries which employ people as they will rech a point where their owners will reach the cap and just give up. Once they reach say the millionaire mark, how much more prosperity do they possibly need though? Like, ... |

| Well, the concept of "wealth" is not very well-defined, and a wealth cap could thus be subverted through an ingenious multitude of opaque financial and legal instruments. Of course, one could try to keep tabs on them by hiring lawyers, but you need wealth to pay for the best lawyers... An... |

| It all depends on your program and what you aim to achieve. I do a full-body program 3 x per week, leaving 48-72 hours between each muscle group. In between these days, I also do plank, cardio and stretching. This is an excellent program: https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/muscle-strength-fu... |

| Ask her out to do something, just the two of you. She might know what you mean from just doing that. That's what I initially planned, and what I'll probably do. Although that would also make it obvious beyond any doubt. I'm not really scared of rejection, but I'm scared that things will be awkward ... |

| No. While certain mechanisms need to be in place to prevent the rich from abusing their power (for example to prevent a corporation from becoming a government in it's own right), the government should not be allowed to steal. The government's power should be limited; nobody climbs to the top of poli... |

| For the past couple of weeks, I've hit it of quite well with a female co-worker. We have known each other for almost a year, but only recently started talking much to each other. We hit it of quite well a while ago at a party at a mutual friend's place, and we've been talking a lot on Snapchat and a... |

| What's the best way of telling her I like her? I was thinking of just telling her over lunch or just when going out of the office downstairs for coffee and a smoke. Ask her out to do something, just the two of you. She's probably used to being hit on, and she obviously does not find you creepy. The... |

| Good looks open the door for you, but that's also as far as it will take you. After I became what people call physically fit, I'm often told that I'm good-looking. Usually, the other shoe drops by the 3. date, and girls lose interest once my Asperger's syndrome becomes more obvious. Every man can im... |

| The testosterone levels at age 30, 40 or even 60 aren't much lower than those of a 20 year old. You can't gain weight without a caloric surplus; you can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, but that would mean that you don't gain any weight. Have the same weight lifting routine that I did whe... |

| This is natural. The best you can do if it bothers you, is to get a hairstyle that masks it. A buzz cut will amplify it, contrary to popular belief. There's also Minoxidil, which is proven to work. Never ever use Finasteride, though. That stuff f*cks with your hormonal profile and can cause irrepara... |
