Pedantry: WHY is it a turn-off to women?

If you keep putting quotes inside quotes inside quotes inside quotes, you'll end up with an inner column only one character wide!

PS: I like the story you made with the smileys. You should start a thread in which people are only allowed to communicate using smileys and punctuation.

(Some therapist will then probably spot it and go patent the technique as a way for Aspies to learn facial expressions and body language, and after that you will have a lot of oddball autistics roaming the planet with yellow face-paint and behaving like bouncing balls.)

Some people like smart people. Some people like stupid people. Some people like people in between.

Thing is, most don't like others to showcase how smart they are. They want people who will make them feel good about themselves, as if they're dating "below their integer."

And one thing many people hate, no matter their relationship with the other, is being corrected. It boggles my mind why being corrected should be such an offense to people, but it is.

I find pedantry and taking things literally pretty annoying when it's unnecessary. Like if I need to go to the washroom, I just say I need to take a s**t/piss. Can you imagine what type of weird s**t would unfold if I started talking like a University professor over something as simple as that?

From an NT perspective you were definitely pedantic. She wasn't looking for knowledge or to be corrected on what she considers an irrelevant detail, but for validation and pumping up her ego.

From an Aspie standpoint you were perfectly logical. Which, of course, is the problem when interacting with NTs.

KnightGhost is right. From what he has said, I believe there are a lot of people on here that haven't been diagnosed but really have it. then we have those others who haven't been diagnosed and don't really have it. a lot of times I state facts and I'll get bad responses back from people who are undiagnosed, making me come to the conclusion that they don't really have Asperger's Syndrome to begin with.

If women really want confidence then why is it that a guy who is seen as strange or insecure, can get an unattractive girl (ugly girl) , by just being himself around her. But if he's himself around an attractive girl then he's a loser.

Or do all women want the same thing, and only the pretty one's are the only ones able to get it??

????Hmmm??

here's how it is.

Guys like pretty girls, and will chase them only so long until he starts looking stupid

Girls want everything, and after that they still arent happy, and will chase a guy that is either playing games or doesnt really like her. She will chase him until its too late, until her life is messed up ..as in (marrying jerks, or getting a bum bf).

Girls dont need a personality to attract guys. When guys say, I like older women because they are more confident. BS. The confidence that older women have, give them the power to accept themselves and that causes them to accept many more men. And when a man is accepted by a woman, that's an easy way in to a relationship or much more. Confidence cause women to not have bitchy personalities, which men like as well because its easy access to a relatiosnship with a beautiful women.
Guys like women who are independent because she wont be in his pocket all the time, not because it shows confidence and she's strong. It takes a load off of the man.

Men want stuff easy, but women want stuff dificult.
