Help with the women?

Post Reply New Topic

Currently having 8 weeks of placement and then a free summer. I am attempting to do as much as I can this summer to make myself more appealing to women. That means working out , confidence building and generally just trying to be fun to be around while still being appealing to women socially. I generally do care about people but Im not to sure if that side of me shows well . The major problems are I usually stumble back into the same routine, I have 7 hours work a day and the most defining point, A mild form of aspergers . The knowledge of having it makes me more nervous around women. Any advise from anyone here to help me?

I am a mild Asperger's case, too, Amigo

My advice is if you are close enough to where you work, jog there and change at work and shower there. If not, go for a run before work and shower at home.

Also, if you can't fit exercise into your daily routine, change your eating habits. I have changed my eating habits and without exercising I lost like 16-18lbs in under a month. Also, look after your hygiene daily. If you can't remember to (I sometimes have this problem) set an alarm on your phone for every thing you need to do and also have family remind you.

Overall, the improvements in your body will boost your confidence. It has for me. I couldn't make sex jokes or stuff like that and now I can at least interact with those sort of conversations (even though I don't like to).

Also do people watching in social environments (like go to pubs and bars with your friends). But listen more than anything, and avoid the aspie stare as they call it.

Thanks January man.

Yeah I forgot to mention Im 73kg and 190cms so Im rather thin. Im thinking of gaining muscle, so that might mean gain weight . 16-18lbs ! thats really good. Well done !

Oh god the dreaded sex jokes . I cannot do those so I wont try . Listening and avoiding the aspie stare.. I'll make a note of that! thanks

Yeah if you aren't veggy or vegan just eat more protein based food like meat (make sure it isn't fast food else there will be lots of other crap in it) and then exercise later in the day. it's a little vague but works.

It's kinda funny how many times I read posts where basically it's all about "how to get a girlfriend." Why is that? Are women these special unattainable beings that you have to have money, looks and prestige to get? My opinion (not that anyone's asking) is that single women are asking the same questions: "How do I go about getting this or that guy? Should I work out in a gym? Jog 5 miles every day? Change my lipstick? Invest in botox?

And then I realize this - it's not that people have difficulty landing the perfect mate; they have difficulty landing the perfect mate that looks like a male model or super model. People set their goals so high! That's definitely got to lead to a life of loneliness and isolation. I want to blame the media. I want to blame movies, music and TV as being negative influences. I think plain Janes, males or females, are absolutely perfect to date. And they're not unattainable because their numbers are overwhelmingly high.

There's also a case where both genders would happily accept much less than footballers or supermodels, robin, but they succumb to peer pressure to try to obtain what is (for them at least) the near impossible. It is pretty much what cripples most peoples' chances on dating sites.

Quite frankly, being less picky is the way to go. It's not settling, it's just being realistic.

I haven't had the impression that the problem is people having impossibly high standards. Rather, it sounds like even if the person lowered their standards to zero they'd still get nowhere (maybe not the OP of this thread in particular, IDK). So, they try to work on various areas that they can to try to make up for the areas that are problematic, with the hope of competing on a similar level as most others. Self-improvement doesn't seem like a bad thing.

It would be nice if every person's desires met up with at least one other person's self, but that isn't how that works. You're probably right about the media. We have the top 0.1% of the population's most beautiful and charming people shoved in our faces in every movie and TV show. But, unfortunately, knowing that doesn't change anything. You can't change other people's desires. I.e. thousands of screaming teenaged girls at the airport lusting after 4 guys (The Beatles).

For those who can truly be themselves and attain relationships I guess it could seem weird that anyone couldn't pull it off unless they had some weird notions in their head.

Watch your posture. Try not to seem rude. This I have trouble with because I don't recognize people looking at me to return a look, smile or gesture. Then it's too late.

For me confidence was the major difference between getting nowhere and somewhere with girls.
Its the confidence to be yourself that matters, nobody wants to date an actor and then figure out its a different person later.

And about the workout, if you want to gain muscle, eat protein and do strength exercises, push-ups and sit-ups are a great start. make it simple, that makes it easier to get done and remember it takes time!
