No wonder you struggle to find a decent girl who likes you, when you have these opinions of them. You want an NT woman who is playful and wants a playful partner, and you believe there are very few of these. Your views on women really do restrict your options and chances.


only what I've noticed from thousands of women in my area. polling 500 people is enough to give a good idea of peoples opinions on something fora state or national level according to many groups. so thousands of women out of 6 thousand should be pretty good data for my area.

how does it restrict my chances with women who won't even talk to me?

I've also only met in person , one woman who is kinda playful. the rest have all been super serious.

When you say polling, do you mean writing to them on dating sites? These women receive a ton of messages everyday, it's only natural that most of them behave like that.

mind game example. liking a guy , but telling him, you hate him. flirting with him but anytime he talks to you insulting him and saying you hate him. . no thanks. or wanting one thing but doing another thing. thats not playful playful is playing tag, hide and seek, being silly, making forts, gooffing off etc with your spouse. I don't play mind games. but I am very playful.


Why so negative about mind games? The other thread about a girl that flirted in various ways to get the attention of a guy has better examples: Air kisses, plays with hair while giggling, offering massage and playing footsie. To that I can add testing if a guy is exclusive and setting up meetings. Mind games are only negative and scary if the girl is teasing you and don't like you, in which case it really isn't mind games but more like bullying.

What a terrible generalization. :evil:

By claiming you don't want a ND girl, and simultaneously claiming you want a playful girl in her teens you can marry, you basically have setup something that never will happen. That's not because girls are awful, but because of your requirements.

You mean online, and without actually meeting them? Why do you think that says anything about how these women are?

They won't talk to you because you seek them online, where girls are rare and guys are plentiful, so they have massive requirements in order to sort out most of the guys. That has nothing to do with how they are in real life if you meet them in a more ordinary context.

Of course. If you are on dating site, it's assumed you want a serious relationship, unless it is a hook-up site only for sex and one-night-stands. :roll:

Really you don't want a responsible/serious adult relationship? You are 27, you should accept it.
Would a woman of your age want to be with you, if she knew that?
Teenage years are gone, I think that even if you didn't have a relationship then you should still behave like a man of your age.
And I am not attacking you now, I am just giving advices.

dating sites, ad sites, in person.

I don't by the they say one thing and do another. that has not been what I've seen. if anything they would list wanting playful guy then lure him and and do a bait in switch and demand he stop being playful and childish. that would open up their options.

the their goal is to find a compatible guy so I think ts more likely they list the truth in order to do that or end up in a bad relationship that ends shortly because they guy isn't compatible. I think women are more honest online then in person. online there is no consequences, but in rl friends/family would see and judge them.

Random sample is required. Thousands of women in the same places (i.e. you observe them only at the places you go) is very unlikely to bring you a random sample.

However you have done it is clearly insufficient, though, as it has led you to conclude that neurodiverse women "aren't very nice and cuddly", which is just offensive. I'm sure many on this site would protest. Don't take my word for it, my partner says I'm very nice and cuddly! :lol: And before you go ahead and say "but you're different to most women", yeah, so what? I wouldn't date most women either. The "typical" woman is not my cup of tea at all. But I know that there ARE more compatible people, even if they are the minority. I wouldn't rule out neurodiverse women as a whole, that would be a tragic overgeneralisation.

Anyway there are many ways of being playful and childish, some of them are not nice at all. I would say that dating sites are terrible for dating.

I very much doubt that. When nobody is able to check things, you can claim whatever you want, and fake your description so it attracts people you want to meet. Since playfulness is not a super-attractive trait, few women will want to put that in their online descriptions. Just like they won't tell you they are irresponsible, narcissistic, aggressive, clingy or shallow.

well thers not a lot of ND women in my area, and the ones I met were quite rude. I really don't think ND and NT's are that different. other then social issues. which as I found out means NDS can be quite rude. didn't say rule out said I wouldn't want to date them, ie I'm not going to specifically seek out ND women anymore. I'm not one to rule out anyone without talking to them and giving it a try. but ND are so spread out. I met one that was nice but she lives so very far away a relationship was impossible, she moved on as she should and is happy with a guy now. reality is nts are more common and so more likely to be met. decrease that to NDS who are rare then add that like nt's they can be just as picky when it comes to other issues and it gets even harder.

no I mean women from work, gaming, airsoft, college etc. while I don't meet them in a dating sense. I still meet women, talk to bunch and overhear conversations from others.

mind games aren't playful. playful is a positive word. do you ever here people when talking about youths and use the word playful as bad? or with cats and dogs. besides with adult people playful only has a good meaning. I think its horrible that with adults its a negative. :( bit tired of women telling me i need to grow up.

yes perhaps about your job, income, status, body shape, and height, but they want compatible personalty and interest for a mate. lying about those would mean unhappiness for them. lying about the other stuff only means unhappiness for the guys.

anyways playfulness comes out through how they write their proflie not in what they say. its hard to explain. you can also see it in their pictures. most seem to have hot , romantic, or fish kiss photos, etc. but playful women have fun, playful, cute, silly photos. its just something I notice. only time playful/childish is mention is when listing it as something they hate in a man.

playful women also tend to be pretty I've noticed though not likely a requirement, but it does mean guys like pretty women so will go after them to regardless of if they like playfulness or not.

Depends, it can also be not positive. For example you don't act playful at a funeral. or maybe these women just on't like your way of being playful.
Moreover if you say that you don't want a responsible/serious relationship but want a teenagish one, it's just natural that they will tell you to grow up.

Then I really wonder how you know they are ND or NT? Because that is not something you can easily discover, especially not online.

That sounds more like a difference between ND and NT than playfulness. But you didn't want the ND one's, still you seem to be after them anyways because they remind you of the playful-type you want.

just saw this.

eventually yes. but I want to experience a fun youthful relationship first. no woman wants to be with me regardless, this is just one of many horrible things wrong with me evidently.

though i dont' see whats wrong with a fun/playful relationship. Its not like I'm not committed, and responsible when it comes to bills, work, etc. I'm just not ready to go from 200 mph to 20mph like switching a switch.

yes I need to grow up or die. I know. gotta live by societies standards and all that stuff. well I won't so that leaves me with only the other option I guess. but I'm going to try to enjoy whatever years I have left rather the be soulless and unhappy with some woman who doesn't love the real me in fear that if I ever slip up and show the slightest bit of the real me it'll all be over.

they dont' know my style of playful they list not playful/childish on their profiles. they talking in a general sense.

yeah no and I'm not playful at work or when I drive a car. duh. but I should be able to be playful in my own house around my spouse. i should be able to be myself when in the safety of my home.

the ones I met advertised as ND seeking ND.

I don't want mind games no. mind games are just mean and toying with anthers feelings for your own enjoyment. I'm not some puppet to be toyed with.
