Problem speaking to women
These findings have several major implications. First, sex differences in
emotional experience are not as pervasive as the stereotype suggests. Men
and women do not differ dramatic ally in their immediate reports of emotional
experience, even in contexts that are differentially relevant for men
and women (control vs. intimacy). This finding raises the possibility that
women’ s ``greater emotionality’ ’ is a culturally constructed idea, based on
observed differences in emotional expressions, differences which are
socialised from a very early age.

It may be a biological fact that women who are fertile go through hormonal changes every month, but spend a week in my house and you might see things a little differently in regards to emotions and need for space. My fiance is very, very, very sensitive. He has all of the feminine styles of communicating and I have all of the masculine (not ALL, but most of what will be brought up in an interpersonal communications class). He was emotionally sensitive his entire childhood.
And call it me being full of Asperger's, but he wants WAY more attention from me than I want from him. I don't think it's the 'perger's, either. Ask my NT roommates. I had every intention of leaving him because I just couldn't take it and needed more space and independence, but because he loves me he was willing to work on it.

I would confirm, It isn't the AS. It was the same with my ex-husband (both of us NTs). I finally did move out (only 4 blocks away), and he was willing to work on it, for a while. But being the more "feminine" of the pair, emotionally, deeply threatened his manhood. And having to constantly shore up his ego exhausted me. Eventually he spotted something shiny and basically abandoned me.
Lesson #1: Never mention the word "fat" in any context within 100 yards of a woman.
Pause, if its a black woman, it is ok in certain context to say "Yes, your ass looks phat in that." or so I've been told.

I'm sorry things didn't work out. I wonder if the same would happen to me if I moved out.
One interesting thing is that his dad got remarried but is still living in his house and the wife in hers. The dad is a CPA with money so they visit each other over the week but only live together on the weekends when they go to their getaway beach house.

Well no problem for me then. Like I didn't do anything wrong. Let it be then. I'm not changing for them. Let them be acting that way so that mean its their problem.

Story of my life.
I find myself reading those "What Women Wish Men Knew About Them", and casting myself as the man, my partner as the woman, usually.
I tend to wind up with Aspie-ish types, as well, so that either makes things much easier or much harder, depending on the Aspie.

Oi! There same in my family too. Lot of women in my family and of course I am used to talking to women because I have lot of cousins are female, aunts and one sister.
This actually going to prove I am so right. Women in general who react to things are unintentional actions are appears to be immature, aggressive and not happy.

Depends on their personality and how they handle things.

It may be, but their personality are great. I love them as a family. We all never had any issues in terms of saying things and stuff.
So it may be due to acknowledgement of AS? If women in general doesn't know I have AS, they are likely to see me creepy, strange and weird.
