Do you have a profile at Aspie Affect?

Post Reply New Topic

Nobody where I live.

Meanwhile, I have received views or e-mails from 21 people on Plentyoffish.com in the 2 months I have been on there.

No scammers, either.

I don't like knowing who's viewing me or other knowing who I'm viewing. *

No. I don't use the Internet as a dating service to begin with.

I like the excitiment of work or hobby flings; well I guess.

For example about the viewing option on the site. Not knowing other Aspie females or males, basically AT ALL-AS HUMANS IN GENERAL, I like to look at their profile and see what they have written. To help me on a base learning development level. As far as 'dating' Maybe someone else worded a thing better...or worse. It helps me to communicate my own ideals if I have an idea of what 'ideals' look like in the first place.

And though I'm not seeking females for pursuits of the flesh. I DO look to see what they say, about themselves, because I am seeking friends for pursuit of the coffee. Ticker has a good point. There doesn't seem to be the option for this there.

And I can do that by seeing what is pleasing or non displeasing to my minds eye. But I don't like others to know I've looked. Because I know what processes MY mind goes through when I see my own 'views' list.
And I don't like it. I'd rather not know who's viewed me. Seriously. That's what "winks" are for, in my opinion.
Then I or they have to think about 'WHY' I or they have looked. So instead, I don't visit the site. But, and I mean this, I wouldn't take my profile down just because dating is my lowest priority on earth. That may change. I may change. it only takes one-will he be an aspie?, who like me, is ultimately looking in no serious rush at all, and who normally because of this fact may not ever place a profile.

I dunno.

Would be nice to meet people who have AS but i wouldnt be on there for dating. So wouldn't join because i wouldnt' want to give the wrong impression.

Tim you're missing the point. It doesn't matter what happened in the past. We are in the present and WP is where the majority of Aspies are that care to be online in search of friendship or dating. It might be interesting to find out how many Aspie couples have resulted from those other AS dating places which would probably be a big zero. There's no one even remotely close to me on that dating site nor anyone on PlentyofFish. Even the old standby of Yahoo personals doesn't have anyone new in my area. They have the same losers posting that have been posting for past 4 years some of whom I dated so I know firsthand. You should have a look at the PlentyofFish forums because they have had woman on there complaining about meeting up with guys from the site that refuse to look them in the eye and they are creeped out by that. I think they probably went out with an Aspie.

Nope.

No. I wouldn't entirely rule Internet dating out but to be honest I think it would be much easier for me to go and meet someone face-to-face. At least you can get some sort of handle of the sort of person they are when online all you have is keyboards and a screen.

It seems like noone is honest in online profiles anyway. I've only dated one person that was like they said they were. But also people get overly picky with personal ads. Like if you aren't a certain height, weight or income bracket they don't even bother to find out what kind of person you are.

I've also met a few that turned out to be married.

Nah, at this moment I'm not searching for a boyfriend. Maybe later, maybe never

I voted no because there is nobody really near me to bother putting in an ad.
