To respond to the original post:
I personally don't care if I come off as elitist when trying to form a PERSONAL relationship. I've had too much of "dumbing it down" when I'm at work. It sounds to me like what you want is someone who shares your INTERESTS, and can engage in an actual conversation with you. There's nothing wrong with that.
Now, if you're being confrontational right off the bat with someone, they are probably going to see it as a rejection.
And the kind of girl who is into guys who "act like a dick", is someone who's probably not going to be the kind of girl you're looking for.
There's nothing wrong with holding out for someone you actually LIKE. Just try to keep restrained on the "banter" during the early stages of getting to know someone, until they begin to understand your sense of humor. It's easy for us Aspies to hurt people's feelings without meaning to.
I can understand this.
I don't try to hurt people's feelings....it....just.
I hadn't consider that's how people would interpret it. I'm going to have to think on what I think funny is.....
This is what I was trying to tell you but perhaps (probably) Malisha is a better communicatior.
