Hi,

My name is Chris. I'm 29 and live in New Zealand.

I would be interested in talking to all females around my age on here. I would like to be able to discuss what it is like to have Aspergers, with females.

I would like to make female Aspie friends.

love, Chris x

Hi Chris!

I see from your profile you like ice skating. I used to do a lot of ice skating when I was a kid, now i've lost my balance, but I miss it. It was great.

My name is Rikke, I'm 46 and live in Denmark, so we won't be bumbing into eachother I'm afraid. But my niece's husband also comes from New Zealand, he was a surfer when they met. Now they live in Denmark.

Hi Chris

What gave me the idea you were suxist?

your sexist subject heading and your sexist message content. And you don't need to PM me to reply, you can just click on the reply button at the bottom of your post and type away. I'm not romantic and I'm not that close to your age either, but I don't mind teasing you a bit. 8)

And I am from Australia, and we got more ewes here than in NZ - I know that, I lived and learned in Auckland for a while. A much warmer city than Canberra, where I lived before Auckland. I've moved a couple more times since then though.

The only good possum (in NZ) is a dead possum - eh?

Hi Chris

Sexist? I hope NZ never gets as "politically correct" as Australia. Especially the Canbera/Sydney cafe latte set.

When the PC nazis ban duck hunting here, I'm moving to NZ.

Well, that's just YOUR opinion that I'm sexist. I have a choice wether I speak to females or not just like you have a right wether not to talk to me or not.

I can tell that you're not the romantic type.

If you want to get a bite out of me that's fine, go ahead.

One of the standard definitions of "sexist" is discriminating against people based on their sex. You're very clearly discriminating here based on sex. So I don't think this is just my opinion. It might be just my opinion that this is a bad thing, even though, theoretically, I benefit by it.

The reason why I think it is a bad thing is that you limit your friendships to a subset of potential friends based on sex alone. Since you also place a qualifier of "aspie" here - and not many women/girls know when they are aspie compared to men/boys, you make your subset of a subset pretty tiny. Ie a fairly small number of women who may or may not be friendly.

And worse than that, you exclude a lot of potential male friends, who may well be more understanding than any woman could be. There's me being sexist. But when it comes to sex it is pretty hard for one sex to imagine (accurately) what it is like for the other.

And these potential male friends may well have sisters who are also aspie (whether they know it or not, it does run in families). So you miss out on a more reliable source of aspie women to make friends with. Ie for what ever reason you are being sexist, you potentially sabotage your own purpose.

I think the key is discriminating AGAINST. Saying you want to meet chicks hasn't done anything against anyone.

stop picking on him you feminazi

wobbleygong -- There are legitimate reasons why a male may seek only females, without being sexist. For example:

* If he is heterosexual (and is interested in the possibility of relationship). Note that we ARE in the "Romantic Relationships" forum.

* If he already has male friends and would like to balance it out by getting some female friends.

* Other non-sexist reasons exist I am sure.

sorry your topic went off the rails :( :oops:

Wobbegong
was going to open a new topic in the mature area under "bottom feeding toothless cowardly shark" but will ignore you instead. :x
If you want to reply, open a new topic. I will see it.
