| Interesting, but even more interesting is the question of why this seems to be true of many Aspies. I think that we, in general, as Aspies, tend to prefer foreign partners because our lives have been, in many ways, a sequence of frustrations with the social norms/mores of our own culture, as well a... |

That has to be the most boring article I've ever perused. In other words, it takes an "aspie's" narrow/focused interest to find such interesting.
I'll take that as a compliment. :wink: |

| Hmm... that's not quite it. Maybe I can explain it better tomorrow. I was scanning that list and nothing seemed to apply. Perhaps it's not technically a cognitive bias, but simply an observed phenomenon. I think so. It's pretty doubtful that the list is comprehensive of all the flaws in thought pro... |

| Lack of imagination? In all seriousness, I think it's because she doesn't know how to say "no". It took me 24 years to learn how to say a "no" that people would take seriously. It involves placing a few of one's own preferences ahead of keeping the peace, in terms of value. I think that's hard for ... |

| If you didn't want to talk to someone, why would you give them 11/12th's of your phone number and your actual last name? I could only come up with two possibilities. 1) You misread / wrote / heard one digit of the number. I'm guessing that's not very likely...but I had to throw it in as a possibili... |

I've used that same approach (oh, I don't have a number... here's my email address) to get rid of persistent guys before. :oops:
That isn't half as stylish as giving them a number for The Rejection Hotline. |

| One thing that I've been thinking about quite a bit lately is how when I conjure up certain memories or retell a story from my life, I tend to angle the story and the people in it toward the topic at hand (in a thread, in a conversation, etc.). I noticed this because when I thought of an old friend... |

That is a good find. Thanks!
But I have to say about this piece of advice:
Quote: It is best not to be the first on the dance floor even if you can't see anything wrong with this yourself.
