...On the " self-hatred " tip a lil' bit , here , Cock :-) ?



ote="Cockroach96"]I'm not sad or upset about this, but it's a tricky question.
Life is too short to waste it. Humans only live for a few decades. It's gone in the blink of an eye, so one has to make the most out of most it.
That being said, why would an NT waste their precious time with an aspie? There are many other NTs out there on the same wavelength. Aspies are annoying, infuriating, repetitive, boring, insensitive, rude, disgusting, narcissistic, selfish, immature, bizarre and socially inept. That's the way we are and we can't change it. I see no reason for an NT to want a relationship with such a worthless twisted human, when they could be in a relationship with another NT.
An NT might at first fall in love with an aspie. Once the NT knows the aspie well enough, the NT will reject the aspie and never come back. I don't understand how the aspies on this site got into relationships, or how their partners tolerate them. It wasn't supposed to happen, it's against natural selection.[/quote]

aspies aren't all the same.

I love talking to my Aspie friend - probably too much. IRL, I'd probably end up smothering him. It does get lonely. There is a difference between Aspie and NT friends. I had an NT guy friend and we texted and talked sometimes for 8 hrs in a day and we texted every day and that friendship lasted over 4 yrs until he ended up getting married. My NT guy friend and I had nothing in common, but we were able to talk and keep a friendship going 4 yrs. Me and my Aspie friend have most things in common and we talk now maybe once a week for a couple hours. It's lonely.


if you have nothing in common what do you talk about for 8 hours a day?

I as an aspie enjoy talking to women 8 hours a day every day. as long as we have stuff in common to talk about. not all aspies are anti social or get annoyed if smothered. there's a bunch who enjoy and crave such things. though i suppose not 8 hours every day in reality. keep doing that means one cant actually do their interests and hobbies. I had a girl stay for a week and it was cuddling and movies the whole time. I really started to miss doing my hobbies/interests. a balance is needed likely, but it didn't last beyond that week , but I learned balance will be needed if ever I get a gf.

I'm not any more annoying, infuriating, repetitive, boring, insensitive, rude, disgusting, narcissistic, selfish or immature than an NT might be. What one person finds annoying, another may not. What one person finds boring, another may not. Etc. etc. As for social ineptness, some NTs don't mind, especially the more introverted or shy ones. And as for bizarreness, that can be a positive...and it doesn't match with boring. If you are boring you are probably not bizarre, and if you are bizarre you are probably not boring.

It's not just other spectrumites who see us in a positive light, our qualities can be endearing to NTs as well. Give them some credit...it's a bit offensive to mock someone's attraction to someone else. People like what they like.

I guess that works well for me since I body build and love nerdy things.

If its against natural selection then NTs wouldn't waste their time on us right?... So the fact some do must imply its not against natural selection actually. And its cool you can predict everyones future and know exactly how all NTs think, feel....also quit projecting if you're insensitive, rude, narcisstic, selfish and disgusting work on that none of those are autism symptoms and not all of us share those traits with you.

Really, really, really hot (and nothing else) is fun for about three months. Then you breakup and some other hot (and nothing else) guy is fun for another three months. Wash, rinse, repeat. That was me from, um, 17-25. I was young and a slow learner.

Umm I've turned down quite a few offers of marriage from NTs and been in quite a few long term relationships. The worst relationship I had was actually with a male aspie. Talk about pushing each other's buttons. I adapted much more to the NT world than he did, so there were a lot of things he didn't "get" that I did and essentially I spent 6 years trying to teach him. And he always expected me to behave like an NT when that was never going to happen.
So yeah you can be an Aspie and have long term relationships whether with another person on the spectrum or with an NT. And yes it's true, with some NTs the novelty does wear off after a while and they just expect you to behave like any other woman they've dated.
I'm learning that NTs hate endless questions and you trying to figure out why they behave the way they do. They also see your shyness in person as a turn off when you're really chatty by text or email. Even AFTER you told them of your diagnosis.
One thing I have learned though, if you're always complaining about things and being generally negative, you are not going to get anyone's romantic attention. And yeah sometimes it's really really hard when you are in a depressive episode. It sucks.
BUT it can work. Just have to encounter the right people.

Time spent with anyone isn't a waste of time, as long as they're nice and fun to be with.

Reason being is that they don't know your an aspie, then when they do find out they dump you.

NT stands for "neurotypical"; someone who is not on the autism spectrum.

You're acting as if NTs are all so amazing and wonderful to be around....

Even NTs get sick of NTs....

Some of the stories my girlfriend has told me about what some NT men have done to her is disgusting.

On the other hand, she likes the way I view the world / solve problems, I'm honest, won't cheat and full heartedly do my best for her well being and happiness even if I do miss the mark sometimes.
