I read the article, and Mr. Chase makes some really good points. I've seen firsthand that he is correct in what he says. Most girls that I was ever interested in chased me, not the other way around. I'm too awkward to chase, but I'm interesting enough to be chased. It's always when I show an interest in her, but I'm non-committal, THAT's when I get chased. I'm usually interesting, so people are interested as long as I'm not being wildly inappropriate.

Yes, in "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life."

A criminal convicted of making gratuitous sexist jokes is killed in a manner of his choosing: he is chased off a cliff by topless women in brightly-colored G-strings & crash helmets.

Could happen....must of been either a really funny joke, or dreadfully bad.


I have a sudden urge to switch on the TV and dig through my Monty Python collection...

I see we are stationed on the same planet, we should have a movie night. As I like to say, you can't command a starship without Earl Grey...

I don't think I would, either, but the fact is I don't know for sure. I used to think I could pick up on this sort of thing easily, but lately I've been really wondering.

I have a strong dis-likeness for PUA's and programs similar to them. It relies on people to use narcissism and meanness to get women to sleep with them.

I know it's been proven to work, but it doesn't make it any less evil or immoral.



In regards to this particular article:

*sigh*

Confidence, I keep hearing this boosting confidence s**t.

But confidence is based on self-esteem, and good self-esteem is acquired cumulatively over the years (ie. school achievements , sport achievements, family pride...etc) , it cannot be faked hence confidence cannot be faked either.

Besides, no one is confident at everything, that's a lie, but here on L&D people mean by 'confidence' as in having confidence in appearing attractive and in talking with women.

Confidence in some skill is based on how good you are at that skill, for example if you are good at math you would be confident at doing a math example, otherwise you would be afraid and feel non-confident of doing good. Same for giving a speech, driving a car, fixing a computer and .....talking with girls and gaining their attention.

But one if is not skilled at doing it, then how he can be confident about it without being good at it? It does not make sense at all.

Is it just wrong to suggest any sort of fun activity to an Aspie? It sure seems that way...

E....oh, I got nothing for "E".

I am I too social to be a Aspie? I like most people, I just don't understand them.

Generally speaking against sexist jokes, but that scene did make me laugh... :lol:

Yes that is tru. But I am not talking about putting on a false confidence, I am more talking about having a thick skin.

Seems to me that indifference makes some women like you a lot. Not sure what the deal with that is but my obliviousness comes off as indifference and gets responses.

This is how I am, too. I'm just not very social. I lack the drive to be very social.
