Is depression more common among aspies?

Down here it includes "de facto" couples and "common-law marriage". In other words it includes any couple that lives under the same roof.

As when I was living with Mum, no reduction in payment except that I wasn't getting rent relief. Actually the Australian welfaire system is kind of complicated and inconstant. I know double welfare couples who combined get less than I do.

As for women under 40 who are on welfare, I know several. The thing about living in a poor neighbhorhood is that at least everyone else here is poor too. I don't have to get income envy unless I travel out of my suburb.

However, I don't know any single women on welfare. Come to think of it, I don't know any single women at all. That makes it hard. Since both sexes exist in equal numbers there should be someone for everyone but it seems like all the girls are taken.

I was thinking more like 5 years older. Remember girls don't think the same way guys do. They don't mind having a partner slightly older than them. Maybe it's cultural, maybe it's physical or maybe it's because girls mature faster than boys so girls need to compensate.

But not for all of them, any girl smart enough to have a career is smart enough to have heard of contraceptives. That's what I don't get about unplanned parenthood, how can they not be able to use something so simple as contraceptives?

Yes and their kids will call you Uncle. You don't need to have nieces or nephews to be an uncle. Would be content to take on the avuncular role?

More like 22 million in my case
But I think neither one of us wants to leave our towns. Not me anyway, all my friends live here and it would take me ages to get a new set of friends.

No man is perfect but if they want a guy to have kids with then they find you have one less flaw than I do. At least you're actually willing to have kids with them. That gives you a bigger pool of potential partners.

That's the best thing that could happen to you. If the middle class dies women won't restrict themselves to only dating a demographic that no longer exists. If women want the best man they can find and the middle class man doesn't exist than someone else then the best man they can find won't be middle class. If the middle class is reduced to a small fraction of the population then will 100 million women try to go after 1 million men? No. The other 99 million women will go after the other 99 million men.

If the middle class disappears that would equalize you. You'll then be in the same class as everyone else. No worse than anyone else. You could be poor either way but you've got better odds if everyone else is poor.

That proves that you need not be middle class to have kids.

Also, remember when you said;

So you needn't think you need to join the middle class to become a father.

A bit of both. Star Trek writers often pretend earlier seasons don't exist. Some of them hadn't watched the earlier seasons. Some of the disinterested writers just saw it as another potboiler until they could get their movie script filmed.

On the other hand I think it could've been genuine character development for Picard, how he went from hating Wesley (15 in season 1 but like many child actors he was cast because he looked about 3 years younger than he was)... he went from hating Wesley to liking him while at the same time the viewers started hating him more and more. Picard also had some character development where he learns to tolerate the other kids on board (after Wil Wheaton started looking to old to fill that role).

Maybe Picard's dislike of children stemmed from his jealousy that he had none... but they sure didn't make it look that way in Generations.

my neibhor is pro homless peope but anti welfare its a bit confusing.

we only have 9million people on disbility welfare here, for 300 million over the whole usa. so i feel the odds of finding one in that that 3% is going be quite hard here, and reduce that by elminating ones out of age range, have kids, and not single and you start to see the problem of limiting self to just others in the same situation.

our gov here will pay for abortions(cost in the hundreds to thousands) but won't pay for condoms that cost $6 for 12.

whats avuncular role?

I would probably be ok with moving but have anxiety.

even still they probably still spend time going after the few good ones competing til its too late..

3% of the total population is on ssi/ssdi, not 3% of women. so maybe half that 3% are women, etc

generally people on the system like me and sweetleaf get it, we understand the struggles and need of it, anyone who hasn't been on it never will and tend to see it as wasteful, stealing, or as bad.
