| ^^^ Minervx has it right. All the reasons he gave are exactly why I won’t use a dating site. Over my whole life, I rarely take pictures of myself. I never know where to look and when asked to smile I either look very fake, or I think I’m smiling, but I’m actually not. Over the last 5 years I’ve pro... |

| I experienced that attitude a little when I was single & desperately trying to find a girlfriend. I do think that message could apply to a certain type of people who are very independent & dedicated to their careers. Those type of people need to make time to pursue a relationship & they ... |

| Aspergers is a social disability & poor social skills can give others a bad impression. Giving bad impressions & not networking well can make it harder to find employment & keep jobs. Plus people with Aspergers tend to have various comorbid & unrelated disabilities that could potenti... |

| I enjoy these questions, but I may be alone in this. I enjoy it because it makes conversations easier, while I may not have the best conversational skills, I can certainly answer a question such as "did you have a nice Christmas?" Small talk is a lot easier to engage in, especially with s... |

| FWIW the internet defines "serial monogamy" as someone who is perpetually in a relationship. They're not cheating (always starting your next relationship before ending your current relationship would be serial adultery), but rather they find someone new very quickly after a breakup. I can... |

| My memory varies a lot at least partly due to dyslexia & being an auditory learner. I can remember song lyrics, lots of details about video-games I played & shows I've watched decades later. However I get dates, numbers, & names mixed up or don't remember them at all. Even thou I know th... |

| I thought of an analogy to explain my attention span. My attention is like a duel-core computer processor. One core is dedicated to daydreaming. Multiple daydream programs are running at once but that core can only process one daydream at a time so it keeps switching between them. The other core is ... |

| I certainly wasn't. I felt a bit of envy towards the gifted kids. I felt that if I was gifted, I wouldn't have been called a godtard by my peers and underestimated by my family. Same here. I struggled majorly in school due to dyslexia & other various mental & physical disabilities. The one ... |

| I don't think of small talk as being nosy. I'm not good at small talk chitchat but I try a little when I'm supposed to. I worked retail for about 28 months doing custodial stuff while the stores were open & I was quiet & focused on my work but I did talk a little. I never had any complaints ... |
