I've heard Texas is a good place to meet women.

Not so sure I'd find it that appealing either - the traffic, taxes, and cost of living IMO could easily overshadow the sunshine.


Plus the job was in the San Fernando Valley/Santa Clarita area, which was ground zero during the wildfires last year. I left Houston to get away from the hurricanes.

There was a study about disproportionate gender ratios and I remember that they talked about some major cities in Texas having more women than men. I can see it though, I do notice that more women are freeze-babies than guys :P

I am not limiting myself to a specific geographical area as far as meeting people. If the person I connect with the best lives far away, I may have to travel, or at least chat on e-mail or IM until I finish school and can move to where she is (or if she decides to move to where I am).

But connecting with that person is the most important.

I'd say change of scenery would do you good unless you carry the burden of personal issues that you think will go away. Like they say, "No matter where you go, there you are."

As for me I too would change regions only because in my area there isn't enough public transportation and everything is geographically distant from eachother making social life a little harder and harder for me.

I remember living in a city like area where at least I could get around and meet people as I'd join support groups and do volunteer work.

So you might want to find a place where there's a little action but not so much that it stresses you out.

I think fresh starts can be cleansing, and good for the soul. You're still you, but it might energize someone just enough to change longstanding, aggravating patterns.

Like maku said, "go for yourself, not to appease friends or to seek an unknown love."

Since there are no female Aspies I connect with in the San Antonio/Austin area, I have no choice but to travel.

I have to ask since you bring this up a lot. How does one find female aspies or even know that they're an aspie?

I mean I wouldn't really know if a guy was an aspie just by spotting him. They just aren't that noticeable to me. I find NTs just as akward as aspies but I can never really tell between the two.

Unless you have aspie support groups around your area?

Just curious.

""I have to ask since you bring this up a lot. How does one

^
That is a good question, i have been wondering about
that since i see it come up in post now and then. I dont
look for anything in particular like that and imagine it
has to be difficult to for example look only for AS woman.
And i would imagine it would suck really bad to meet
someone one really likes but that dont have AS.

I get the idea that trying to move elsewhere sounds like a "grass is greener" tactic...

If you have another reason to move, such as for employment, then by all means do so.

But if you're using this as a means to find women, once you start, you'll just keep moving (wrecking your finances in the process), lose all roots where you grew up, and just generally drift with few goals in life...

Yes women are the root of all evil.

I think my root was alcohol and being insecure. Still is to a certain degree but I've stayed sober for a good period now.
