| That all sounds totally reasonable to me, too. And yeah, guys have chatted me up about books I'm carrying, which is (if I'm in the mood) charming and is at least not about my legs. Actually one of the best chat-ups I've had in the last few years was from this drunk young man at a music festival who... |

| Well, I've said expressly a few times that not only is this not about all women, but about many women, and how to find out what a woman you're interested in dating actually likes and wants. It involves using words, though goldfish is resistant to that. Also, Jono, thanks, but I just never got aroun... |

| Most people have an intuitive understanding of the rules of social interaction. Therefore, most people have the social skills to attract people of the opposite sex without scaring them or making them feel uncomfortable and that's how they do it successfully, so it's not a numbers game, it's about s... |

| Are they talking about actual Autism tho (the real Autism, where you can see the difference in the brain in a scan, like Temple Grandin for example, you can see her visual cortex is very developed), or about all these cases I have heard about of people who thought their child was autistic, but when... |

| I was speaking in terms of being forced to "work" for daily survival. Wealth means you don't have to be a "wage slave." I can't speak for VisInsita, but my interpretation is that if you go about your daily life feeling fulfilled in the richness of the people, things, experiences and so forth that y... |

| You know, it's interesting, goldfish -- your idea of what's reasonable, and what people want, seems to be centered entirely on what you want. You like compliments, so yeah! Come on up and hit on goldfish. You're not afraid of being raped or otherwise attacked by men; therefore it's unreasonable for... |

| Remember how we were talking about misogyny before? "She's anti-men if she demands reasonable, respectful treatment" is right up there. Again. Compliments are not unreasonable or disrespectful treatment. If you believe they are, then there is something wrong with your thinking and you should seek s... |

What don't you understand about that? You'd be the laughing stock of the day if you called the police to comp... |

| You can find fear inducing statistics about anything you want to obsess over on the internet. If I googled for statistics on drowning deaths in backyard pools, I'm sure I'd come up with thousands of results. Heck, if the search engine works properly, 100% of the results would be about drowning death... |

| About the "go up to random woman and hit on her" strategy...it relies on a couple of ideas, both of which are pretty ugly if you stop and look at them. The first is that women are anxious to get compliments from random men. I promise you, no woman you actually want to get into a car with is standin... |

| How in the hell does anyone make the connection from someone paying them a compliment to thinking they're in physical danger? Thousands of women have recently done you the favor of explaining this online. If you're going to refuse to go read what they've said, the problem is yours, not ours. I just... |

| I completely agree with tarantella on this. Having a stranger come up to you and indicate sexual/romantic interest in you when you're just trying to go about your day is like getting a cold call from a pushy telemarketer wanting your credit card number. Except that you can hang up on the telemarket... |

Chances are that if they were conscious of HFA and other conditions that make people "weird", they wouldn't behave tha... |
