Aspie women should have no trouble with friendships

Post Reply New Topic

Men always approach women, but the converse isn't always true (sure it happens, but less frequently). Men will usually accept a woman's shortcoming because they feel there is a "reward" at the end of the rainbow.

Aspie Men are MUCH more likely to end up friendless, lonely and alone.

I dont agree. I am not diagnosed but i have always had a tough time making friends. Though i think here you are not really talking about platonic relationship. Having said that i dont think it is easy for women too, atleast not enough to make a general statement. I can say for myself, that i am 33 and i have not had any relationships. I have been told that there were guys interested in me, but since i cant pick up the cues, nor do i know what i am supposed to do, that info basically is useless for me.

And i dont think men are more tolerant than women. I think men have other expectations than women, but both have expectations for sure.

I dunno, guys hitting on a woman doesn't seem the same as having abundant friendship opportunities. I suspect that most people who are "hitting on" someone are not interested in friendship.

I'll admit it probably helps a tiny bit, though.

Your post is a bit unclear, but I think you are talking about aspie women having friendships with men? Believe me, a "friendship" based on the man hoping for a "reward" at some point is not an easy friendship.

Well, Aspie or not I've never met a single woman who didn't have at least one close friend and I've never heard of a 30 year old virgin girl (except by choice). Conversely, I have been relived to find I'm not the only man who has no close friends and there are a surprising number of Men (Aspie or just introverted) who are eternally alone.

I'd actually disagree. Women are like, more emotional and stuff. Thus if you're not able to read emotions, body language, all that stuff, you're at more of a disadvantage. Plus, women talk about their feelings and stuff like that, guys never talk about their feelings. So you can just have male friends that you can like, work on cars with or something. Males it's much easier to make friends with based upon common interest.

One other thing too, is, well, women are nasty. I mean, on the whole. Men, if they're mad at you, generally they'll be pretty direct with it, and just be like "hey you suck bro" or something. Women on the other hand, do all kinds of nasty psychological things due to their natural higher "empathy." That and women are passive aggressive and never like, confront problems head on. So they'll be mad at someone, and never confront the person over it, whereas men just generally confront people and don't do all kinds of weird passive aggressive gossipy stuff. I mean obviously there's exceptions to this, but yeah.

So due to all these things, I'd say women got it pretty hard for making platonic friends.
