I seem to attract the worst attention. All the guys that talk to me on this forum are either complete perverts, or absolute jerks. I guess being autistic doesn't stop men from being men :(

No, no it doesn't. Sorry to hear that it's been a rude awakening!

If you've come here looking for men though, check the Eligible Odd-bods thread. Unless of course you're referring to some of our eligible odd-bods :| lol

I think you should stick around and read a bit more of the threads, mainly ones about advice or situations that interest you. We have a few strong personalities in this forum that are just an overbearing, vocal minority. Under the surface there's a lot of individuals from all walks of life and there's some pretty cool cats here. 8)

I tried that already. Only got one response, and after asking a question, never got a second one :(

You are thirty-five. You had a chance to grow out of it. Consider my age-group.

How long ago was this? Don't know the other guys but I sometimes take up to 3 days to respond. Other Aspies might take longer.

Time? What's that? :lol:

I'm sorry if some of this was meant towards me. That hug in the hug thread was only a joke. :(

Um, no. Guys started talking about my boobs and, in an attempt to assert their dominance over one another, ended up posting inappropriate pictures of themselves. I would show that to you, but the site shut the thread down.

Point kinda taken. Kinda :)

... What I would say is that for myself (and I can only speak for myself here) I never, EVER intended to come across as a Perv or a Jerk when I was younger - it was against my personal ethics. BUT now I look back in my life with a greater understanding of my AS and its consequences, there have been times I would now know where I crossed the Jerk/Perv line and didn't realise it. Hindsight is 20/20 though...

I was reading in another part of WP about the sexism around here, and I think I just found out what they were talking about. 8O

Umm I never talked about your boobs, just for the record. If anything I let you know you had done nothing wrong and it was all due to who where talking to.

Back on topic I often see girls complaining about the creep thing. And I won't say its unfair or any of that bs, because I have no right to tell how something should make you feel. But you at least mentioned the reasons for being creeper out. Id like for more women to let guys know why they feel that way and not just of the effect

I wonder where that happened and how I didn't notice. I tend to not notice a lot of things though~

What JanuaryMan said is true too, there are a lot of different people in WP, with different motivations. L&D has kind of a grim reputation, I'd advise looking somewhere else too~
