Realistically speaking, would you ever date a guy like I?

But, if you wont have sex with the girl you date, you'd better have a real good friendship with her. You'd basicall be "best friends".

Based on the information you provided in this thread maybe I'd date you. It's hard to say for sure without meeting you. I'm kind of weird too and I've never had a boyfriend so it's a plus to me if a guy hasn't had a girlfriend. I don't want the levels of experience to be too vast in difference. However, based on some of your other threads no. I couldn't date a guy that didn't want to have sex with me.

edit: I just wanted to add that I just noticed how cool your avatar is. I was wondering how you could have two different avatars at the same time, then I realized the colors!

Don't mean to be rude, but "go burn them" (I swear, that's what I read between lines, actually that's what I saw...) does not seem appropriate for him. What kind of advice is this, it can lead him to get sick or dissapointed...getting laid is not always the answer...you don't learn s**t actually and in the process you can get burned by karma or become a parent or G-d knows...that's my "fitty" (not fifty) cents from Detroit...

The selected parts of your original post that I quoted are traits that you share with my boyfriend. (To be fair, he might not be 40 pounds overweight, but he is not as thin as he was in high school. And his job is technically "blue-collar", not "white-collar".) He's been pretty successful with girls. I think his secret is that he goes for girls who share his interests/obsessions.

So let me get this straight. Tell me again why you wouldn't want to have sex with your girl-friend. Sex is fun. Sex is relaxing (if you both want the same thing), and it helps bring you closer together.

Maybe I'm really dense, but in my humble opinion, the women who responded to your post and said "no sex no deal," were right.

And that's my "fity" cents.

I think I made someone mad on this thread...maybe I am wrong.

OK, let me start over. If I meet a guy like you, that I feel strong for, I don't see the 40# being in the way. Or the fact that you live with your parents. Or the fact that you have not so huge income. But that's just me.
Women want to be married and to have kids, eventually. They want to be with someone that they are attracted to, so they can get it up...we women have to be aroused, too, in order to have sex, which is a big deal. The madness of being in love goes away in about 9 month. What is left is respect and being used with that person and feeling safe with them, being good friends, through thick and thin. And also, when you feel like that you can have a lot of orgasms, I am talking from a woman's point of view. (I hope again that we are on an adult thread, I don't know if we are or not, I don't want to say xrated stuff and get admonished from MO's). So that's all good. I don't want to hear the nayers saying "neeeeh!". It is true, everything I said until here.
Now, I understand the men's desire to have tons of sex, women have it, too, but we hold back because we have more consequences if we do it with whoever, wherever etc. But that doesn't mean that you have to go out there with the idea that you will screw all that is a woman. I am getting the idea that some people are encouraging you to do that. Most women don't like to be used and you will not like the feeling of changing women like that. I think that you are looking for a nice woman to love you. To be friends with you. I have AS and I FEAR change. I have my habits, my obsessions etc. Knowing that you said almost the same things, that you have a set up life the way it makes you comfortable, I don't see you going to wild parties etc. and "hooking up". You're better than that. Yes, I am sounding arrogant...
So I would say, pray about it, think about what you want and it will come. This is not stupid advice, it has been tested by me and it worked. If you see someone you really like, have the guts to say something to them. Try. If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't. At least you tried. This life is like the box of chocolates that Tom Hanks (?) was talking about. You don't know what you get...but you can try. Some will be bitter, some will be sweet, some will last little, some will last long, some will leave a bitter taste, some will leave a sweet feeling. And one or two etc. will stick around for a long long time.
I know you are a good person, if you wouldn't, you would not ask for advice here, you would be out there, "burning them" (I am obssessed now with the stupid expression I made up... ). So I hope that you respect your body and soul and you will not give yourself up for experiments with women you don't like, just because you can't get any. Believe me, if you would have liked one a lot, you would have found a way of being with her and having her all for yourself. So I am confident that you will find a good one, just for yourself. Just take it easy and be friendly, as much as you can with AS (I am being over friendly sometimes with people in order to compensate for shyness and that's not good, either, because some people take it wrong), so be yourself, be nice, willing to put up with some women drama (we all do that, NT or AS ) and most of all, respect yourself, your body is sacred and so is sex.
I have to add, I love geeks and people that keep for themselves (your description made me think you might be a little geeky and reserved). Nothing more sexy than a considerate, geeky (intelligent), reserved and a little shy man!! ! Be patient and it will come.

Good luck!

Elena.

I think you misinterpreted my post. It was just a suggestion of where/how he could meet some women who might not be immediately repulsed by him.

Don't forget that for you to be able to date me I first have to let you. I don't know what you look like, but you can be very sure it's highly unlikely I'd date you if you are unattractive or obese. That's just how shallow and stupid I am. I know I can't ask for much, so I settle for average looks.

You sound quite a lot like my last boyfriend. So yeah, I would go out with a guy like you.

Except I wasn't the one asking if anyone would date someone like me. I'm not unattractive or obese and I wouldn't have a problem getting dates if I wasn't kind of weird. And I don't think it's shallow of you to have physical preferences for who you would date. I'm the same, I think most people are. I doubt anyone would want to date someone they weren't attracted to.

What qualities would you be looking for if you met me in person?

As far as looks go, I prefer white guys with longish hair. I'm 20 and wouldn't want to date anyone past their mid-twenties. Considering I'm not very outgoing, I would prefer a guy who didn't feel the need to be the life of the party either. I don't really have many specifics as far as personality, I mainly would want someone who was able to cope with me being socially awkward and be ok with the fact that I don't talk much and possibly be that way themselves.

To be honest, If you can, MW99, it would probably be best to look for an apartment within the next five years, simply because some women would like to be alone with their men, without the interference of parents. (it is possible that this may be a requirement with mainly NT women, only). They also see it as an act of independence and self reliance. If you are not able to do so for a physical reason, that's fine as long as she knows. But most women I know think that a guy living with his parents after 30 is not going to be able to do certain things (and I dont mean just sex). But, there are women out there who do understand and will be compassionate. However, if you are pulling women from the general public, they will want you to have your own place before you are 30.

To let girls evaluate you correctly here you still need to post:

-Your photo (face and full body is better)
-Your physical descriptions: ie. height and weight
-Your job position and salary
-Your beliefs(ie.religion)
-List of your talents and hobbies


ps:I guess living with parents is a big turn-off in your culture and you are perceived as 'loser' that can't afford to own his own house.

I've been thinking about why it could potentially bother people that you haven't yet moved out. I think its because people perceive it as lazy? Some guys stay at home because they like being cooked for and cleaned up after. I'm guessing you need the moral support for dealing with life, thats why I'm at home right now, but I think you'd have to explain to a girlfriend that you hoovered now and again and cooked your own food.

Some people live with their parents to save money to get a place of their own. When they have enough money, they move out.

I am currently living in a college dorm, while I go to school full-time. Hopefully, that will alleviate some of the social awkwardness I used to have.
