Well I don't want to come off as a bigot or in pertaing to females a feminist but I see threads posted by guys of how aspie females have it lucky and how debasing they can be when I find that hard to believe. Being single myself with a just a couple of short and painful relationships in the past at least I don't constantly debase men in a way that belittles them to a point where it becomes humorless. At least I admit some responsibilities for my actions when it comes to problems in terms of relationships.

Normally I don't take these threads seriously but I do wonder the way in which guys respond to a female's thread as opposed to a guy's thread when they hit the jackpot. FYI, I know that not all guys are like this but I do find a greater number as opposed to the latter.

Anyway, it may not be a "male conspiracy" but this isn't the first time I've seen these kinds of threads and I don't see really ill intention in the way it's worded to put aspies or male aspies down but only one can assume since it's not clear enough and put in a way of questioning whether the poster should have put this thread here or not. I just don't see what the big deal is.

Most male and female Aspies here just mindlessly congratulate the OP, wish them luck and blah blah blah, regardless of the OP's gender. It seems to be a crime to not be an over-optimistic clown who mindlessly worships those who don't need to be worshipped and spits on those who don't need to be spat on. And FYI, I don't remember congratulating show-off male Aspies either.

I have already explained why I (perhaps mistakenly) felt insulted. Can we bury the hatchet on this one already?

I didn't pick on those show-off guys before?? My bad,I must really missed those threads ...link me to them so I can deal with them, fear not... I am sure that I can bring back the balance to this planet!


Aye Aye M'aam! Your demands are orders!

I did post what happened in that thread , it's not my problem if you are so curious and don't follow :P

as summary, I abandoned the idea because she doesn't seem what she exactly want , she doesn't want to leave her fiancée , she is NOT physically attracted to him since she told me once "I don't like fat guys ...too bad that my fiancee is very fat" (and she's not exaggerating, he's very fat).
In short, she's seriously messed up so I quit the idea, she can find someone else to mess with, but I am still enjoying her harmless flirts , she makes my day :lol: for instance this morning she told me : "I dreamed about you, I saw you in my dream last night giving me more work and I laughed so much when I woke up" , I was like "oh..ok" and then she went to my office to show me a wound no her calf after she raise the lower part of her pants ....so I told her "...and what I m supposed to do?" :lol:

...and oh don't worry about me , I am emotionally immune from now on.

I know a lot of the topics on this board are about how difficult it is to find love-in the world outside of WP and even inside the little world we have going.

I don't want to lessen the severity or seriousness of the rest of the posts with flippancy. It's not my intention, because I was comiserating with those posts eight months ago. And then there was this wonderful guy. The kindest, most caring, gentle, sweet, attentive, sensitive,beautiful, charming guy- that started talking to me. He has all of the fairy tale qualities a man should without the silly ones (read:chauvinism).

I love him more than I have anyone else.

I've done silly, ridiculous things to be with him. Without regret.

He'll be my "rave" forever more.

I'm terribly happy.

(Please, everyone make it through the things that are happening now, good or bad so another person can find you and make you as happy as he makes me.)

I hope he reads this. :D


Ladygirl, thank you so much for posting this. it made me smile, and feel hopeful. i love hearing that happiness DOES actually happen outside of books. yay!!

I noticed that too
if I feel the person should have encouragement (eg if they mean something to me or I just want them to shut up already) I will say something nice
if I feel they are a jackass I will tell it like it is
I don't care, I refuse to fallow the aspie bandwagon :roll:

(It makes me sad that I even feel the need to defend something on here that was not ill intentioned but...)

This was my public declaration of love. It was done on here because this is the most shared (public) medium Chris and I have at this juncture. It is the most appropriate site. I think it's the most appropriate board too. I know I read it the most.

I'm sorry to all who are so insecure with their love lives that they watch boards waiting for happy people to post so they can think of some caustic response and reward themselves with false security.
You can see it in nature all the time. Dogs. All aggression is rooted in fear. The most confident dogs aren't aggressive because they have no fear that they will be challenged whereas the least confident dogs are the most aggressive because they think everything of theirs is going to be taken.

Don't worry boys, I have no intention of stealing your future girlfriends. You needn't protect them from me with aggression. :D

I fail to understand, even when I am most miserable, why someone would want to cause harm (in any form) to another.

Maybe cleave the board in half? One for the happy endings and one for the not so happy endings? Then Cyberman, Rynok, LePetitPrince, Kilroy and the others won't ever have to see me, or my joy, again.

You couldn't just let this thread die. You had to resurrect it just to make sure that as many people could see it as possible, allowing you to flaunt your happiness to the widest audience! And when you break up with this perfect boyfriend of yours, don't be coming back here to join the rest of us in our place of relationship-bred anguish!

I didn't say I had a problem with you

(I have a problem with other people, and I was trashing them)
I don't know you-I don't just trash people I do not know

its always good to see happy endings :)

All I'm saying is if your going to post about how perfect your Knight in Shining Armor is, I also wanna here all the nitty gritty unperfect things you discover as you get to know him better.

I've seen other people post when they found someone they liked.
It consisted of either nothing at all, an off-hand mention of "my boyfriend" later, or sometimes a "This is no longer an issue as I found someone interesting to me" type of response.

Seriously, modesty has it's place. If the whole post was designed to show your boyfriend that you liked him, you could of done the same thing with a PM. I know I personally tend to read those first anyhow. As for a public declaration, that's fine, but you gotta treat it like PDA. I don't like walking down the street and seeing two people sucking the life out of each other either. It's actually kind of similar if you think about it.

First, you made an entire thread to basically say "I found a boy" but it took you way too many words to get to that point.
Secondly, you then tried to hide the true intention behind the post (See: "I found a boy" & "PDA") by essentially saying, "If I can do it so can you, don't give up hope" as if it was some form of encouragement. Statistically speaking, if 50% find mates, and you find one, that means someone else doesn't :wink: It would be more hopeful for someone else for you to NOT find someone. :) (Talk about sadistic humor, that was dark)
Lastly, it isn't that I'm not confident with myself or my ability to find a decent girl (as you implied). It is simply your approach to the situation at hand. Could of been handled much more tactfully and much less sneakily in my opinion.

I'm also in a great relationship. We're both able to calm each other down when the other has a meltdown. Instead of trying to hug me and reassure me, we'll just put our heads together to try and figure out how to better things, which is how I like to deal with stress. However, I do worry of the day when BOTH of us are in panic mode...
Too bad we live two hours away for now. Hopefully that'll change next year.
