What the HELL is wrong with girls?
Those who don't hate dancing and might try it, may be convinced to try it.
I personally can't think of a more effective way to meet a bunch of girls all at once, and get to talk to and touch them all!
Plus, women love a guy who dances.
What about those of us who don't mind dancing, but are incapable of learning it? (And even if we can manage to mimick the moves right, we move so stiffly we get accused of having a corn cob stuck someplace painful.)

It's mathematical, an aspie guy would face the same troubles through online dating* as in the real life , he still has to initiate conversation, he still needs to be social (because he's going to meet her), he still needs a good social and financial status
BUT the only thing that differentiate it from traditional dating is that the number of males are from 3 to 4 times more than females, don't you believe me? Go to your dating site or to any dating site and set the search to "A man seeking women" and compare the number of results with "A woman seeking men".
Oh come on, is there a stupid girl enough who's ready to move to another country in order to date some stranger? Would you come to my country for example?
When I set 'Man seeking women" and set Lebanon as location I just usually get 5 to 15 profiles with photos maximum and about ~30 clueless profiles , the vast majority of them (about ~70%) are inactive and many others are much older than me or much younger. (Well our population is just 4 millions)

How can this be expendable?

It's ok for the dancing advice , I agree dancing is a natural mating ritual after all and girls (like the females of most species) love it (doh!), but you are giving false hope to guys when you keep telling them that online dating is the magical solution for them and that's not ok. Soooo, I am gonna keep opposing this recommendation

You are absolutely right about the current state of dating sites. Living in a rural area in America, there are even fewer results returned than that. However, it was great advice 10 years ago and not bad advice even 5 years ago. But yeah, they've degenerated into a sausage fest. Still, it doesn't hurt to look. For aspies whose taste in women tends more toward the mainstream, they may still find someone interesting. For those looking for substance over style, you can still look but don't get your hopes up.

Probably not even back in the days when the dating sites didn't suck. However, they were much more willing to talk to and meet men from other areas back then, when pickings (for them) were slimmer in their own locale. I had quite a bit of luck with them back in the day, but I had to do a lot of driving.

As for the gangsta look, I have always been repulsed by it, as well as bad language, fronting, and posturing

Ha! Looks like I'm not missing anything then. P.O.S. site wouldn't even try to match me... said I was too unique. Ha! I had a feeling they were overblown, considering their program doesn't try any harder than that.
eHarmony is based upon a complex matching system developed through extensive research with married couples. One of the requirements for successful matching is that participants fall within certain defined profiles. If we find that we will not be able to match a user using these profiles, we feel it is only fair to inform them early in the process.
We are so convinced of the importance of creating compatible matches to help people establish happy, lasting relationships that we sometimes choose not to provide service rather than risk an uncertain match.
Unfortunately, we are not able to make our profiles work for you. Our matching model could not accurately predict with whom you would be best matched. This occurs for about 20% of potential users, so 1 in 5 people simply will not benefit from our service. We hope that you understand, and we regret our inability to provide service for you at this time.
You can still receive your free Personality Profile by clicking here.
Wow! Now I am really glad that I canceled with them. What a load of stuff! OTOH, this proves that we are from another planet.

Yep, that's the answer -- you can meet girls from out of town, but you have to travel.
But -- you can meet girls from out of town!
LPP, if you can cite where I called OL-D the "magic solution", I'll be really impressed.

WhateverDude, I used to be you. I thought the exact same thoughts and felt the exact same emotions. I even used to use phrases I read in your posts. I feel for you, brother, I really do. I wish I could help you into a better place, but sadly all I can do is write posts.
I am in a relationship now, at age 29. I used to think it would never happen to me. When it happened, it was a total fluke. Total fluke. A random meeting online with an older woman, older only by a few years. And with a daughter. But that is a long story, and not for here.
We're all pulling for ya.
It's too broad to say what's wrong with all woman, as I was in a lovely relationship with a wonderful women, and even after we broke up, we're still friends. If anything I would say what is wrong with vain mainstream women? I mean do they value nothing more than the superficial aspects to life? The culture they've caught themselves into is a vicious trap of lifestyle, that is self-destructive and intended only to dumb down and demean the true capacity of women. In result, turning them into nothing more than physical shells for men to f*** (without them realizing it) and have a highly predictable personality if you're intelligent enough to see through the superficial nature. Those vain mainstream women have no idea what scam has been played on them by the media and entertainment industry, treating them like money-cows to help fuel the corporate profits in fashion, beauty, diet and plastic surgery industries, and is that is why they are the way they are. Personally such vain mainstream women are way too shallow and insecure-but-in-denial for my tastes, and frankly if I only had them to choose from, I'd rather stay single, because I would go insane listening to all that superficial garbage all day, every day.

You live in Lebanon PetitePrince, Im not the least bit suprised that online dating isnt very useful in Your country but in mine(the USA)its popularity is increasing far beyond peoples expectations.
Might I add: I want to admonish Social_Fantom and Loveablenerd that IME it is just as misguided to idealize women and it is to villify them. Women are really just PEOPLE like men, they still want the same basic things they just have different incentives and different needs. But why do ALL women deserve love but not ALL men, eh? Who the hell says men dont just wanna be loved? We DO!


This isn't about you, or what you like or don't like. I'm still all too aware that you've chased your son away from his own thread, and I hope others aren't forgetting it either.
There's not much doubt in my mind that his biggest problem is you. Try looking in a mirror some day.

Once again, YOU....DO....NOT...UNDERSTAND.
Also, sorry, ignored the literalness problem; "name calling"=insulting. It's posted for all to see.
I never even insinuated it (this misunderstanding) is about what i or anyone else likes. Read it all.
Edit for clarity.
