• Two right arms

• Two right legs
• A head-fin
• Microcephaly
• A chin that would make Dudley Do-Right proud

And that is either a serious case of Epididymitis, or the image has only one buttock.

Poor, poor Chad.

It probably would’ve been better, but even neurotypicals find dating hard and get into lousy relationships sometimes.

Ahh . . . but do they post multiple threads in which they seem to endlessly complain about it?

No, they usually get together with their friends and complain over a few drinks. Then, while they are out, they meet someone new and the process repeats until marriage is attained, although complaining among friends continues.

They seem to have at least partially solved their "Dating Problem" by going out and meeting someone new.

I don’t think it normally occurs to them to do otherwise.

Since group settings are the most likely places to meet new people, there is no need for them to do otherwise.  However, I think bars are the best places to meet alcoholics, and not anyone with whom I would want to establish a personal relationship.

For me almost certainly. Over the years I've apparently become better looking. My jaw has squared out and my weight has increased several stone from an emaciated skeleton years ago. Even my pecs and biceps are starting to show.

It caught the eyes of a couple of women over the months but my social skills hold me back.

Would've probably been more than just friends with the cheerleaders and other female athletes in high school, that's for sure :P

I should think so, after the ripe old age of 1931...


In England kids aren't under so much pressure to date during high school like they seem to be in America, so even if I were NT I still might have not had a boyfriend in high school. Only the really popular girls had boyfriends, and even then it didn't seem to be a proper relationship, just two kids being labelled as boyfriend and girlfriend but then never speaking to each other much in school (don't know about outside of school). It was rare for kids to be in serious relationships, and to be honest the ones that were in serious relationships were actually the ones with very high IQs that seemed mature for their age.

I think boys thought I was cute, but didn't have the guts to date me because of how stupid and unpopular I was and so they were scared their social status would be under threat. Plus I was one of the shyest girls in the class and was seen as the "ret*d kid", so I don't blame boys for avoiding me like the plague. But I actually had boys treating me better than most the girls did.

I would have a dating life if I was NT.

If I were an average height NT male, realistically, I’d have never gotten involved with the incel/red pill movement. The reason I got involved in the first place was because I sucked so bad with women for obvious reasons.

I’d maybe have dated in high school but if not, probably would have dated in college. Let’s put it this way, if I had the sex drive I did as an autistic 20 year old male, then I probably would have dated.

I perhaps would have gotten dumped less because of being weird or embarrassing or scary, or having the wrong kinds of emotions. But I have known plenty of NT women who got dumped a lot, too, and have other relationship problems, so who knows.

I don't know that I would have married earlier than I did (first time, at 31) but I probably would have made a better choice, and I know I would not have been in the weird/codependent/abusive relationships I was in, because I felt as though I had to settle for those and somebody "normal" wouldn't have me.

Probably better, but I can't know to what extent.
