You've got this backward.

We only know about the abusive / dangerous ones because of the girlfriends and sex partners they've threatened, hurt, stalked, kidnapped, and/or killed, because those women were brave enough to report it - or forensic evidence made it clear to court.

We don't know about the abusive / dangerous ones who remain involuntarily celibate or single because they've yet to hurt someone. It doesn't mean they won't.

For some reason, the poster I quoted appears to be more interested in normie stuff (despite being on the spectrum)
By “normie stuff,” do you mean things that you aren’t personally interested in? It seems like autistics often share similar interests as other people and vice versa which makes sense considering we’re all human. Autistics don’t all have the same interests, too.


I mainly mean party animal stuff when I say normie stuff.

I've noticed normies act shocked at the idea that I have no desire to be a party animal.

Most ASD folk have no interest in being party animals.

Plenty of NTs don’t party. Plenty of autistics do. Autistic or not, everyone is different.

What's the normie stuff?


Funeralxempire likes marijuana, likes to drink to excess, etc.

That was what I had in mind. Those interests are more common among normies. Most ASD folk prefer a quieter lifestyle.



Marijuana is a quiet lifestyle, and drinking can be too.
In fact it's completely legal for fxe to use pot where he lives.
It's sold by the government.
Marijuana is known to help people with ASD deal with anxiety.

Having grown up in a very conservative culture, I’d say that it’s exactly what I’d expect. It’s not just sex-crazed. It’s more about having sex urges like everyone else combined with a sense of entitlement and sexist beliefs regarding women.

We all get horny. It’s just that some folks believe that being horny is a good excuse to be an as*hole.

In my experience, the more conservative the culture the worse this stuff is.


I guess I was thinking from the standpoint of my upbringing in the Catholic church. I had a very conservative priest who told us any sort of intercourse outside of marriage was wrong.

The Catholic Church has a reputation for being obsessed with sex, child sex abuse, and child abuse coverups.

On another thread, I remember it being discussed that bad boys/career felons/drug dealers/ex-cons/etc typically have no trouble getting/keeping a girlfriend/partner, despite being the most dangerous groups on earth.

Being "kept" by a dangerous felon isn't necessarily a good thing for women.
We made that clear.

Fascinating information.

Regardless, I have no desire to smoke marijuana (or use cannabis in any other form). Nor do I have any desire to get drunk (I cut myself off after 1 drink).

I like being in control. That's why I refuse to alter my sobriety, even if it might help with my ASD symptoms.

I don't doubt there are instances where a career felon coerces a woman to remain in a relationship with him.

That being said, a coworker of mine has a felon son who's currently on his 3rd incarceration. During his periods where he's a free man, he gets women throwing themselves at him. Evidently they want to get with him.

That's fine.
Everyone is allowed his/her/their choice and we're all different.
We've said that many times.

It seemed as if you were trying to shame or marginalize fxe, and that's not cool.
I hope that wasn't your intention.

^^ It seems like you base all of your opinions on limited experience. The world is a big place, and you’ll find all types of people in it. Most women do not want to be with a dangerous person for obvious reasons. I’m sure the same could be said of men and other humans.

What's your point with this?
Are you jealous of the men, or the women?

No, I had no desire to shame fxe. I just didn't like how fxe smeared a lot of us as boring (just because we have different interests)

You missed his point which was that people were being judgmental and hypocritical.

Not jealous of the women at all (I have no reason to be jealous of the woman in this scenario. I have no desire to get with a man).

I'm jealous of the man. He gets easy intercourse, despite being a piece of feces by every definition. Meanwhile, I struggle when it comes to dating/sex, despite being way more honorable than him.

That's a good take. In my personal opinion, I think men and women are different to compliment one another. I came to this conclusion because I'd prefer to look at actions and research before agreeing on what's being socialized. For example a person working with machines in factories vs being a teacher or a nurse. It seems like most women (not all) don't pick the jobs that men are mostly in. It's the same for men too. Most men seem to be more interested with things vs most women being more interested in the healthy upbringing of people.



My mother just spent seven weeks in hospital so I can comment on healthcare, at least as it is here.

There were far more male nurses and support aides than female, and far more female doctors than male.

Of all her nurses and aides (shifts changed twice a day for seven weeks and we seldom saw the same person twice - do the math), I'd say 3/4 were men. Actually they were men of colour too, if that matters. The fact they were usually men was very apparent because my mother is 85 and had a broken hip but they kept sending men in to do her nursing care, insert and change catheters, change her diaper, clean her bottom, stand with her in the bathroom when she started using the toilet again, or even to change her gowns.

She was very upset that they were men. I asked her how men might feel being the patient with female nurses / aides, and if it might be equivalent to the way she felt. That seemed to put things in a bit of perspective but she was still pretty freaked out. The only time they specifically sent women was for showering but that seemed redundant since the men had been all up in her business anyway.

The doctors were all women except for one man. Her follow up appointments with a fracture clinic and with Geriatrics are with women as well.

Her home-care physiotherapist is a man.

My doctor is a woman and my dentist is an Iraqi woman. Interestingly, the only male doctor I have is my Gynaecologist.


Thanks for your input! Healthcare seems to be more diverse nowadays vs 50 years ago.
