I dont think I'll get an honest answer cos I dont think many of them really know why they feel the way they do. Perhaps its because as aspies they lack the empathy to get inside the head of a member of the opposite sex, just like us aspie men do.
What does that have to do with getting the answer your looking for though?
Your answer lies I think more in line with they "really don't want to give you an answer" or "don't believe you should have the answer."
Though everyone has their reasons, to me it would seem those two call out much of the greater degree. Generally speaking, if you interrogate someone, they will eventually give you an answer.
However, in things which when interrogated they give you nothing...the two above tend to be the reason why no answer was given.
You could try a different approach on asking the question...or masking your intent if you REALLY REALLY are obsessed with discovering the thing you seek. However, that would probably end in a big headache, so I'm certainly not going to encourage that course of action.
Regardless of whether or not they can empathize or get in another's head, everyone has a belief pertaining to ideas(or mulitple beliefs). Even if they have multiple beliefs, they should be able to provide you with something.
Well you might be right about their motives in not answering my question. I know that women tend to be FAR more concealing of their motives than men do and perhaps these aspie women have picked up on that. I do believe however, that they find men threatning(like most NT women do)and the combination of such combined with their lack of understanding of mens motives leads to feelings of resentment. I am often frustrated with women because they are often indirect and do not make their motives obvious so their words and deeds dont make a lot of sense to me.
