Someone to talk to?

Post Reply New Topic

This exactly.

I think the Social Skills & Making Friends section would be more appropriate. I would of replied to this thread last night because I am looking for friends & a relationship but the OP said preferably someone who tried to conform at some point & I don't think I ever did. Anyo0ne here is welcome to PM me BTW. As for the issue of safety that's been mentioned in this thread; I would recommend checking the person's post before trying to meet up or giving out any sensitive information

Id like to say that she is wrong. But sadly Ive seen things gone wrong and had to intervene quite a few times and I havent been a mod for that long.

That being said generalizations of this kind arent welcome(same way a post claiming all women are <insert generic insult here> isnt) and hale_bopp should know better.

Once again, this is a very insulting statement to the male members of the WP community and you are obligated to explain yourself.

Enough is enough.

I predict this:

Hell, I must admit even I am inclined to try to talk to you, but I am going to stand by my recent decision to stay single until further notice. Nikola Tesla and Alberto Santos-Dumont would be proud of me.

Besides, you live too far and I have no interest in conversations online. Just ask my friends on Facebook.

Since the OP has not clarified exactly what she hoped to gain/help she wanted, I can concede that I should also have suggested the "Social Skills and Making Friends" sub-forum. And while we shouldn't get to far off topic, I would like to say that I have faith that the males on here are comprised of mostly decent men, who would not spam a new female Aspie, just because they are sad and lonely. Please show a little more faith in your community, guys. However, judging by the response, perhaps I misplaced mine...

I understand that there is also a chat room, though I've never used it myself: Link

no one is going to try to exploit her because there was an instant "force field" of negative predictions that arose in response to her statement. anyone stupid enough to "try it on" would have been scared off. it is good that potentially vulnerable people are rapidly shielded by other members of this site.
on the other hand, it limits only straight women to be able to reply to her without suspicion.

i am not sure if this sounds insulting or congratulatory.

i have nothing to say to her because i have not tried to conform, and i am not under 30, but i am just commenting on my viewfield of the social dynamics associated with the replies to her post.

maybe i should have said nothing because now i think of it, most of the other posters in this thread are under 30.

if a mod wants me to delete my post i will.

+1,000 - well said.

The "bad apples" get weeded out by the mods very quickly, we should be supporting each other, not tearing each other down by reporting vague, unfounded accusations as "facts".

I think pretty teenage girls who have difficulty reading social cues are especially vulnerable targets and should be very careful about what they post online, so they aren't taken advantage of. However, I think that goes for the Internet in general, not just on WP.

Oops, I meant to post this in the friend section. Thank you all for your concern. Won't be makin that mistake again (:

Moving it right now

I'm sure one of the mods will move it for you if you ask.

Also, I'm sorry for derailing the thread but I'm not ignoring the Aspie male-bashing anymore.

BTW, I'm an Aspie in Orange County too - but I'm a "senior citizen" - good luck!

Feel free to create a thread on wp.net about it if you wish to discuss this in an appropriate manner.

I'm confused..this post is showing up in the social skills and friendship forum..?

I think perhaps the mods though it was more suited to that forum, so moved it...

spongy replied a couple post before you that he was moving it
