I don't have any female friends besides my younger brother's fiancée. It really bothers me because I don't think I'll ever have a girlfriend unless I have a good female friend first but women my age seem to hate me. I try to be as polite as I can be in interacting with them but I either get the cold shoulder or "That's nice. See you again never." while iron pumping alpha jerks seem to punch them in the face and they will love them.

Just what am I doing wrong? I am almost 30 and I fear my time is running out or maybe it already has.

Feel your pain Opee :x

I'm not huge but I'm a daily iron pumper that still can't steady a relationship. The thought that there are literally thousands of domestic abuse relationships but I'm so farce that I can't stir more than interest is daunting :| but funny

The horrible truth, while so cliche, is that there definitely is someone(plural) out there for you. Whether you may or may not find them. Just have to stay open and positive

I've went down the female friend path as well and still dabbling. I never get close enough or let them get close enough to actually be a friend but I love women and examining their minds, personalities, realities

Don't get me wrong. I think exercise is a good thing and I wish I had more muscle to protect myself but I dislike the macho outlook that you aren't a "real man" unless you blast your muscle fibers.

I've seen men treat women like dogs but they don't make them stop.

Yea' it's unrelated to the reason relationships are harder for us, not a gripe for me. I don't understand it but I don't understand a lot of things

It's down to social skills. Us aspie peeps are not like other people and we don't communicate or interact the way that regular people do, so we are less liable to find things in common with or find that we are drawn to other people because of our unique way of thinking and mannerisms.

I think people want someone around who they can relate to and communicate with easily. We don't provide that.

Best we can do is find other quirky people or really study and fake the social things NTs are so fond of. I'd rather find another quirky person.
