When your daughter grows up, she might not be too happy that you wrote this about her:

"My daughter who is 9 starts growling and attacking people if she gets any gluten. I think its linked to the hereditary kind of AS as the people who seem most effected by GFCF are ones whos families are riddled with alergies and AS."

I like to have my Profile (Constructively) critisised, I need to know if the other persons impression was correct because usually it's way off. But since I rarely get any responses it's even rarer that I get feedback and I thik because I like to dig for information about why they're not interested and what they saw in me and my tendency to not back down when I've made a point people can take offense and declare "It's my opinion!! !! !! !! I'm allowed to believe what I want!! !! !! !! !!!lulz" as if I'm trying to start a fight with them.

Send to me or post your profile. I'll give you some constructive criticism if you want.

The online dating sites are a numbers game and becoming worse than real life meetings.

You have to compete with other male curriculum Vitae, glamour shots, and the woman's listed requirements. Women IRL are not as rational with chance meetings.

Get off POF because it's mostly a lower element NT site. Maybe try an alternative site like Nerd Passions: http://www.nerdpassions.com/

Personally, that site pissed me off and can't be seriously built by a real nerd type. I find the stereotyped images very silly. But at least the site is free.

This site might be better:
http://www.gk2gk.com/

I'm not saying you are a nerd; the place may just happen to be less NT and less typical in all regards.

This is true. This past saturday I had a date with a girl I met from Plenty of Fish and well, I basically just threw 40 bucks down the toilet by taking the girl to Don Pablo's. I'm quite bummed out, even though I didn't get along with the girl on the date. I thought she was a bit mean and disrespectful.

I have talked to her since and made the mistake of telling her I had asperger's. Now she assumes I am "disabled" and accused me of being dishonest for not mentioning that before hand.

Well look on the bright side,at least you actually got to meet with her in person to see if the two of you were compatible.I havn't revealed my AS yet to the woman who I'm communicating with on POF for fear of it being a turn off myself.

I didn't reveal it until the next day when she was asking me a billion questions and stuff. Like why am I, 28 and in college, but don't have a job. Why do I live at home, what's wrong with me, why didn't I talk to much (I didn't feel comfortable when on date with discussing certain issues) why don't I have a "cool" car, and some really silly material type questions, that, I don't really care too much about.

So, I told her. I dunno why, just did.

I believe it is a turnoff to some "normal" or NT girls, because they have no idea of what aspergers is, even if some do, they really don't and they just assume you're "special" or "ret*d." Although, some NT girls don't really seem to mind much. So I guess it depends on the girl.

Agreed, except that in my are at least there are zero females anywhere near my age in the second site, and just 3 in the 1st site. So I at least will not put up a profile on either.

That can be true & it's just really a hit & miss game of chance I suppose.You may get lucky & meet someone who actually understands your shortcomings however & is willing to accept you as you are.

So far I'm suprised that the girl I've been corrosponding with hasn't contacted me today...perhaps she's busy or more than likely got turned off by my last message :( right now my email counter is screwed up so I may need to log out & reset my ISP to clear it so it'll display correctly. After all I don't want to miss any emails from her.

I think the opposite sex can seem hypocritical online because women often mean different things when they use certain phrases than men do. A lot of times, the man will read what she writes too literally or technically, and then when she doesn't follow through with his interpretation of what she wrote, he's offended at her.

I just went on a 1st date tonight with a girl I met on a dating site. We met up at a bar and chatted for an hour or so. I was aiming for a cheap 1st date, but somehow, I picked a bar that had $10 drinks. Eck! They were good-sized drinks, though. I offered her a second one before knowing how much they were, and, luckily, she declined. So, I ended up spending about $24.

Except for a few small moments of silence when it seemed like neither of us had anything say, it seemed to go very well. She is very very attractive and she seems like a great catch. No way was I gonna tell her that, though. I think I spoke pretty well and had enough questions and comments to keep the conversation flowing most of the time. I only mumbled a few words, and I don't think I said anything too weird. We ended the date with a hug and a "good night" and I told her I'd call her. She seemed genuinely interested in going on another date, but if I never hear from her again, it wouldn't be a first.

I'm gonna call her tomorrow and try to set up another date for Saturday. I haven't decided what we are going to do yet, but it should be interesting to see how it turns out.

-snip-
what is all this stuff about 'throwing 40$ "down the toilet". Didn't YOU eat? or did you just watch HER eat while you counted the minutes to see if you were going to 'get lucky?'

sheesh! save your money and buy an hour with a prostitute, then you won't have to complain!
(and ask yourself," hummm, I wonder if she picked up on my attitude and THAT's why I haven't heard back from her?"

I know I would have given you the air if I felt that from you, AS, Muscular Dystrophy, Asthma, or any other 'disability' you might have revealed or not.

but I suppose it is easier to blame it on something you can not change than something you can. . but won't.

You sound just like the kind of girl that would be a waste of money. I'd have Dutch first dates if I could get away with it.

It's just a basic law of the land, the more money a man spends on his dates, the less respect the woman has for him, the less likely they are to appreciate him for who he is instead of how much money she can get out of him, the less likely it is to turn into something more than friendship, and the more likely he is to be wasting his time and money.

If you are truly a compatible couple, you shouldn't have to spend more than a few dollars. You should be able to enjoy each other's company by going on a picnic, swimming in a lake, discussing politics w/ a cup of coffee, playing video games, watching a meteor shower, watching the sun rise in the morning, dirty animal sex, and much more free or very cheap activities. Spending anything more than a few dollars on some girl that you just met and that you will never see again is a WASTE OF MONEY!

Moreover, he probably didn't even realize that he was wasting his money until after the date was over. So, I really doubt their incompatibilities had anything to with his "attitude".
