Well looking back I probably did a lot of the common stuff but I'm not someone anyone can understand from one conversation in a café. I'm also pretty much completely discouraged. I'm not sure anything I did in the past 6 years counted as romantic.

I'm a programmer, hacker & a mountain hippie. I don't often meet anyone because I'm quite attached to the people in my life already. I'm trying to be more agreeable towards the few women who know me at all because I see few if any other ways to do that at all.


"I'm not someone anyone can understand from one conversation in a café. " << What does this mean? I'm sorry, I don't understand.

"I'm not sure anything I did in the past 6 years counted as romantic." << Does this mean that in the last six years you haven't "put yourself out there" ? Meaning, does this mean that you haven't attempted to meet women face to face toward any romantic ends?

"I'm a programmer, hacker & a mountain hippie. " There are many women who enjoy programming and many women, especially in Colorado who enjoy the "mountain hippie" lifestyle. I lived in Manitou Springs at the foot of Pikes Peak for about 6-9 months when I was younger. Ideologically, you're also "liberal", wouldn't you agree? There are many women your age in Colorado that share your ideology. That's a good thing. You've posted your picture on WP, and even though I'm a hetero male, I can objectively say that I would assume there women your age that would find you attractive.

"I don't often meet anyone because I'm quite attached to the people in my life already." << Can you elaborate?
What do you mean by this? Or, how does this impede your ability to try to meet women, exactly?


"I'm trying to be more agreeable towards the few women who know me at all because I see few if any other ways to do that at all." << I'm sorry I don't understand what this means.



I mostly meant I'm very reserved. I would have to find a lot of common ground before making any further plans with anyone I just met.

I would rather meet women through women than at random. I'm not very trusting but I'm moreso towards women, particularly those who managed to befriend me.

I'm at work for now so I'll have to get back to you in greater detail - I'm definitely not really 'on the market' since that's your main question.

I'm also wrestling with a number of medical issues that likely relate to my ASD & I have no clue how to talk about that in person, much less in this context.

Here's a thought: perhaps people are tired of you posting about the same stuff all the time. You know, like complaining about women not wanting to date you? All you're doing is beating a dead horse.

Did I say one word of complaint directly to you? To any women? Did I ever once generalize women at all? No.

If you're posting hateful stuff regarding guys' emotions, well that's just lame on your part. I for one feel ignored & for lack of a better word, hated.

I'm just being honest.

For what it's worth I love women as a rule but that's not of consequence to anyone. No one gives a damn if a guy like me says he's sad.

I guess I'm as worthless as my thread. Mods please do as you will.

Also someone just kill me. Is 50,000USD enough?

Do you actually expect your choice in guys to lie about how he feels to please you?

Would you say that to a person with cancer who complains about their cancer?

Autistics are repeative. People here are constantly complaining about something. If not this site would be even more dead then it currently is.

Stardust Parade did manage to show me it's not worth it anyway.

Sexist stereotypes about guys having no feelings already won. I'm going to STFU & GTFO.

I forgive Stardust Parade because to do otherwise would just be sh***y.

I also said nothing about dating anyway, I was only writing about how I feel.

Discarded, mostly.

People usually hate what I have to say. This was painful but unsurprising.

You seem to care too much for this one, you keep talking about her.

I advice you to think less of her, because you can never know when someone backstabs your trust.


I guess a guy can either care too much or act like any of those hundred million clones on Tinder.

Most people won't give me the time of day, much less hug me. Normal standards of conduct just fail to apply when you've been raised in a system that expects you to care about machines more than a good friend.

Nobody is perfect, neither is she & that's cool by me.

What I was trying to find out in asking questions is whether or not you're actively doing things to try to meet women and being unsuccessful over and over.

It holds true for anything from romance, to desiring gainful employment, a better job, a better place to live, weight loss, better health, education, proficiency in something, etc.

Velleity: a wish or inclination not strong enough to lead to action.

I've been guilty of velleity myself.

For any of us, if we lament a seemingly perpetual predicament but don't try to change, others view the behavior as whining.

You are probably confusing him with another member because I don’t remember this pattern in cberg, his threads were more about this person he cares about.

But it’s probably another sexist assumption you made, there was this Hollywood_guy who said something very true once, I forgot the exact wording but he said: Whenever a guy complains about love, is quickly judged as a whiner and entitled.

Also I wanna say to you and to ALL those who are bothered by the constant complaining of these guys: You can simply skip their threads. Simple.

It's a good relationship advice, however. Try complain as little as possible. Women hate that.

But sadly it does make it nearly impossible to get dating advice for men.

Well, obviously these guys aren’t interested to date women on WP, since they are far, Aspies are few and too geographically scattered.

If some single women here see complaining as too unmanly, fine, they can use Tinder.

This is why I keep saying that WP needs a section for men, to discuss man things in the context of a mens forum...

Cberg this low will pass eventually, til then based on your online disposition i think you do have the strength to ride out this wave, like you have before... are you doing any meditation lately?

I don't think this is the real issue.

The thing about CBerg and many guys here: they are intelligent guys, and not hard on the eyes, either.

I honestly feel many guys place double-binds upon themselves based upon spurious evidence.

This is especially true of the “evidence” obtained through interactions on online dating sites.
