an Aspie's guide to making friends in an NT world
maybe you're too good-looking
I've never been accused of being too good-looking before. I think it has to do with body language and the fact that I don't have the same interests as the typical heterosexual man, beer, sports, beer, NASCAR, beer, more sports, etc.
You know come to think of it I pretended to be a guy on another forum and the girls seemed to like me over there. I wonder whether women like "less masculine" men.
2. limit your conversations with people to superficial topics
3. go out to bars
4. your idea of a fun evening should be going out to a bar with many people you barely know, getting drunk, eating some greasy food, and returning home after your clothes stink with cigarette smoke.
5. be obsessed about sports, especially if you're a guy.
6. your goal should be to meet as many people as possible rather than meet one or two people whom you feel connected to.
7. have a profile on facebook, tweets, myspace, and update your drunk pictures at least daily.
8. always have a smile on your face, especially if you're a woman. a woman is not allowed to show negative emotions.
9. if you're depressed, or have financial problems, or family issues, keep those to yourself. nobody out there really cares about your happiness or well-being.
10. don't ever admit to be insecure or lack confidence in yourself.
11. laugh at whatever dumb youtube video others are laughing, even if you find it boring/not funny.
12. if you're bored during a night out with your "friends", don't show it.
13. get a boyfriend if you're a woman, or people will think that there's something wrong with you. this rule doesn't apply to men.
14. if you're a woman who needs glasses, get contact lenses. wearing glasses makes you look serious and intelligent--both are unattractive qualities for a woman to have.
please keep on adding to my list.
this sounds too depressing.

i don't have a boyfriend simply because men are a$$holes. and i would never judge people with glasses. i wear them because i need them and because not everyone has great eyesight. i could never change for anyone regardless of who they are.
you can't expect to think that being someone else will make you better than anyone. i don't see how people can live that way, it's unrealistic. that's not how life works, i should know. i believe that you're the one with serious issues here, my dear.
The title to that should be edited. It's a guide to making Neanderthal NT friends.
Most NTs I know would run screaming if you acted like that around them. They have no patience for that kind of idiocy. If you really want NT friends avoid bars but join groups that share intellectual interests. If you do go to a bar go somewhere quiet, preferably a microbrewery, and go with a few close friends and maybe a couple of books that can be used as references if the conversation gets really good. Also develop a few social skills. Don't try to be just like NTs but learn to be considerate of other peoples feelings and try to develop some tact. Most people can cope without eye contact, and can tolerate some stimming if they understand it's just your way, but if you are unkind and rude to them they have better things to do than hang out with you.
I think that's better advice for making friends with NTs, at least the kinds of NTs I like to hang out with.
