*sigh*- you Americans are so easily dragged by the false shocking news.

I've been single all my life (21 years). Throughout elementary school, middle school, and high school, I asked about 10-12 girls or so in that duration. All of them rejected me
You only asked out 10-12 girls? did you seriously expect to get a girlfriend after asking only 12 girls out? Seriously, no wonder you're so frustrated, you've put all your hopes of relationship on the shoulders of 12 girls. There's almost 7 billion people in the world and you asked out only 12 people and you gave up. That's your problem right there.
even If you said you had been asking 12 girls a year, I'd say the same thing.
that was from:

First of all, I think this was the most cruel and ignorant post ever , even a trolly jerk a**hole like me wouldn't say such thing on this site.
I am wondering for a while about that post and I am not sure if I am being culturally biased here but know a lot of non-aspie guys (Friends, coworkers, acquaintances...etc) in my surroundings (in fact I don't know a single aspie guy) and none of them have the courage to ask 12 girls out a year , that makes 1 girl per month and alex is even saying "even If you said you had been asking 12 girls a year, I'd say the same thing." so he's suggesting even much more than that.
I am not sure if the guys in the US are that much different and ask out girls on monthly basis (I really like to know about that , maybe typical American guys are much more confident and courageous than typical Lebanese guys?) but in my surrounding, I know no single guy who has the balls to ask out 1 to 3 girl out every month, even the most sociable of them (I work in a moderate holding company with all types of guys:programmers, salesmen, businessmen, managers...etc), let alone the shy type guys ....and let a lone especially the aspie guys.
Usually guys who give such kind of "Super Confidence show" advices are usually the macho player type , you know those guys who brag about how easy they find to ask a girl out and get a date per week , they usually do that in order to make other guys feel how superior they are , it's a show-off advice at best ....but I only know two guys like that out of dozens of guys.
I wouldn't be surprised if this came out from a typical Macho social NT guy but what I find it surprising that it's coming out from the owner of a support site for people with social ineptness disorders and usually suffering from social anxiety and low self-esteem.
From this statement "even If you said you had been asking 12 girls a year, I'd say the same thing." he's suggesting that the single guy should ask even 2 to 3 girl per month till he gets a gf ...maybe he means even up to 10 girls per month.
A guy who can ask a 2 to 3 girls per month indicates a very social lifestyle : parties, clubs, hanging outs, sports ...
While asking girls out as much as you can is the way to go in order to find a girlfriend , I find it really hard that a typical Aspie guy who prefer the quiet and less-social activities (ie. Library, nature, museums , exhibitions , gaming against friends, cinema, ....etc) would even has the chance in order to be able to ask 2 to 3 girls per month....let alone to have the courage/confidence/esteem/motif to ask 2 to 3 girls out per month and let alone how hard to even find a non-taken girl in AutisticMalcontent's range of age. Not even to mention the time needed in order to emotionally recover from a rejection....
I wonder how Alex , the God of Aspies on WP, doesn't know that.
So my questions:
To alex: how the hell you don't know that?
To all: Is asking 12 girls per year
at the very least (as alex suggested) is the standard way for finding a girl practiced by the vast majority of guys (NTs) in US?
