As someone who carries a number of labels [like pretty much everyone else in the world], I am keenly sensitive to the times when people make any kind of generalization based on a label that has been placed on me.

I really attempt to be conscious of when I may be doing this myself. I'm certainly not always successful by any means. But to do this, I will, for example, use evidence of my own, with each individual case and not make assumptions of a person based on how my brain my classify them, according to:
ethinicity or socioeconomic status or eyecolor or dominant handedness or personality type or citizenship status or gender.

Cause it really sucks when people make completely inaccurate assumptions about me. It's weird and uncomfortable, and then if I try to correct them, it's like there's no going back, because I'm put in the position where I'm by default already in a fight. And that's just hard to correct.

I'm just saying this, because when I mentioned this:

it was before I had done any specific research and only based on this thread. Please note that comment was specific to this thread, started by a specific individual as well.

After receiving some backlash about that statement, I did do some research, and my impression still stands.

I will admit I may have missed some glaring things relevant to this particular thread in the search suggested, but I don't really think so.

I mean if we want to have a serious discussion I'm all for it [I noticed on Aspie Affection there is a LARGE imbalance between male and female members which may be relevant].

However I didn't have that initial impression-which is why I was joking around- and there doesn't seem to be much entertainment for the idea.

You're the guy who responded to someone's post about their relationship difficulties with "suck it up, sister!" aren't you?
People made the point back then that you can't expect sympathy if you're just going to deride people's struggles. It still stands.

i never meant what i said to you to be interpreted as backlash--i was actually trying to warn you about what it can be like here sometimes, and that certain topics recur a lot and get rehashed over and over with little progress and it can be frustrating. i didn't mean to attack you in any way; when i said i don't mean to poke fun i meant that very literally because i was afraid it might be interpreted that way and i didn't want it to be. did that not come across? sometimes it's hard for me to tell beforehand how what i'm saying is going to come across to someone else in text without facial expression and tone of voice and whatnot to accompany it, i have trouble compensating for that in text. what i was saying was meant to be a friendly warning of what you might encounter here, because i have encountered it a lot here (and i am sure i'm not alone in that).

edit* to add: i'm sorry if i made you feel attacked, i didn't want to do that.

Yes, I remember that. I get fed up sometimes. Forgive me. She was carrying on about her failing lesbian relationship.

This is getting boring. I came to the conclusion long ago that ... Forget about loneliness. You can be dying and nobody truly cares so this discussion is pointless.

You can continue on with it if you want. No amount of taking, typing is going to change a thing.

What makes this so hard is I feel most comfortable being alone. I rarely feel lonely - and on the rare occasion when I do, it's not just a vague, general lonliness. I know who I want - but sometimes in life you can't always have who you want. Sounds like a song.

Anyway, as the Tshirt goes, "The more people I meet, the more I love my cats!"

Oh, rubbish.

Thank you.

I didn't take any offense to your post. I just saw it as a way I could post a statement I found amusing to myself regardless if anyone else was amused by it. It just happened to be of a sarcastic nature.

Thank you stardraigh. None was intended. It kind of spiralled and got a bit lopsided and wandered off the path.
It was one of those moments when you're half asleep, you lift you're head up from the keyboard and then, it pops into your head and you think "Wow! that's super smart" and you post it - but later on, you reread it and think "what the hell was I thinking".

I have a lot of issues. What can I say? I have Aspergers

Do you like kittens? This one's particularly happy and cute:

I do like kittens, but the network I'm on is blocking the pic from being viewed. I'll check it later when I get home.

Huh? Can't say I've noticed any sex life round here for the past 10 years and am a woman with Asperger's.

Your sums don't add up.

Bro, don't confuse sexual desire and activities with intercourse. AS women have it easier to get laid but that doesn't correspond with sexual desires. BTW. does briffault's law apply to AS women, too?

That means either you don't know what a sex life is or 10 years is a typo and means 1 year. A sex life is desires and activities related to sexuality, easy. If someone is frigide or asexual, she has no sex life.

Quite who finds it 'easier' to get laid depends on the individual. Factoring in their desire, their general appeal to others, their tastes/standards, etc.

i think it is assumed when one is speaking of a "sex life" in the context of the OP, one is speaking of sex with other people.

Huh? I'm confused. How is this math and how is a man a woman and a woman a man? Can someone explain please?

Am I a woman? When did I receive a sex change operation?
