| Why? For neurological reasons (likely permanent), or just because you can't afford a car, or for some other reason? Is there any possibility that you will be able to drive in the future? Alas, most parts of the U.S.A. have crappy (if any) public transportation. Do you live in a city with decent pub... |

| Granted, it makes sense because men are the ones that have to do the initiation widely and long by default. Somebody who just waits to be approached can get away with it more. |

| Yes in some ways, I think that my political views tend to be unconventional for my social setting. Also they tend to be inclined towards individualism as opposed to communitarianism (if such a word exists). And I think autism has something to do with that. In my teens and early twenties I was an in... |

| I think my Aspergers does make me more inclined to be a Libertarian/Anarcho-Capitalist or Minarchist Republican.I consider myself Libertarian but I vote straight-ticket republican in all races since I was 18 because the Libertarian Party is not a viable party in terms of real political power.I dont... |

| No, not directly anyway. I lean more conservative and rightist, but I am starting to sympathize with minarchy. I just think polities should be split and scaled down. You can live in your ultra-liberal society community and I can live in my more conservative-leaning community. The problem we have tod... |

| Basically the thread title in a nutshell. I have a part-time job (non-service), but I don't have my own place and I don't drive. I also feel disenfranchised by online dating and it made the landscape more brutal and competitive. The issue is that it is becoming the only way people are able to meet t... |

Isn't that generalizing too? |

| Might he be autistic? Being autistic makes it much harder to get a girlfriend. Could end up as a "who has it easier" thread but yeah, autistic guys struggle and appear to struggle more than their female autistic counterparts. He's only 17 and it's still very early days at the moment. Yeah... |

| The idea of muslim immigration influencing cultural attitudes in Europe is an interesting one. I would also add the most recent developments with woke culture, specially intersectional feminism and the me too movement. It's a new kind of conservatism coming from the left, which I find fascinating. ... |

| I think it might go in cycles. It was considered normal for men to wear Speedos in the 70s and 80s, now it is assumed to be a "queer" thing. I don't think history works that linear like some people tend to think. And of course, sexy female fictional characters are becoming unacceptable too... |
