| If both parties understand and are honest about FWB situations, they can be great while they last. I have been in a few, and the only time it didn't work out well was with a girl who said she understood the arrangement, but ended up wanting more of a relationship than I was willing to be in. |

| We've all been there to some degree, I'm sure. The easy answer is, "don't over analyze and don't obsess so much." Of course easy answers solve nothing. You could talk to them about it at some other time. Say, "Hey, remember the other day when you said... what did you mean by that?" If they're decent... |

| To me, a mirror is a strictly utilitarian item. I have no use for vanity or concern, and will usually only think, "huh, time for a haircut," or, "man, I'm exhausted." |

| Women like me but they never want to date me or be in a relationship with me. I have a few female friends, they like hanging out with me and think of me as a fun guy. I refuse to date women I don't know. For me friendship comes first. I don't like going to bars or parties. But I am attracted to few... |

| There's often a truck parked where I go to get coffee in the morning with a bumper sticker that says, "Proudly burning the fuel your Prius saves." I can try and put you in touch with that guy if you want. Otherwise, there's not much I can do for you other than offer my congratulations on the latest ... |

| I blame what I call the, "Sheldon Effect," where Aspies are made cool, and all setbacks become amusing quirks to the degree that everyone who has even a minor interest in something thinks that they're, "in the club." Comic book, video game, and pop culture conventions tend to be rife with these type... |

| If a person has severe depression, schizophrenia, or let's say, autism, it isn't a political issue, so why is gender reassignment surgery so controversial when the person truly believes that they were born the wrong sex? If it is neurological, then Obamacare's increased attention to psychological is... |

| I think different degrees of libido exist in both NT's and Aspies alike. I don't consider myself a pervert, because while I may have perverted thoughts, they don't interfere with my day to day life, and do not violate State or Federal laws. Still, I have no doubt that there are certainly a great num... |

| As a kid I got diagnosed with ADHD. This was in the late 80's, early 90's when I think a lot of people were diagnosed with ADHD that had other conditions. I had friends with ADHD, though, and didn't see myself in them very much. Whereas they grew tired of everything very quickly, I had my obsessions... |

| As far as a realistic portrayal of an autistic person, I was surprisingly pleased with Ricky Gervais as Derek in the dramedy of the same name. He is somewhat stunted by his condition, unlike, say, Dr. Cooper, but that is never what is played for laughs. He's well regarded by the other characters on ... |

| I voted for Obama twice, and am satisfied with his Presidency, but far from happy. I think he is competent, and am comfortable believing that his policies are the result of critical examination and pragmatism. He is an intellectual, and it is a shame the opposition party seems to have abandoned that... |

| I doubt it would be fifty individual countries, unless the governors declared themselves President or King or whatever it would be. More likely, there would be clusters of nation states based on resource necessity or other concerns. |
