I'd rather someone I end up with not think I'm immature and maladjusted just because my interests are classified as 'geeky'.


I said MOST, not YOU. And I unapologetically do mean most.

READ ---> It's someone's personality that makes them immature and maladjusted, not their interests, but I'm going to be blunt- most of the hardcore fan girls are just too childish to deal with. They also often behave inappropriately. If you go around with kitty ears laughing at the top of your voice, arguing heatedly about which final fantasy character is better than another, by all means, cross me off! I'm not amused by it. Maybe it's just me, but that kinda behavior is best left to early grade school. To boot, a lot are extremely self absorbed, to the point of being rude. They're also usually cliquey and standoffish, and don't let you in their life unless you're as developmentally arrested as they are.

And it's not really an elitist thing- it's that I can't have a serious conversation with people like that. I've tried, and in a lot of cases, it's literally all they like to do and talk about. I just can't take someone seriously who's that out of touch with life. I've tutored junior high students who are more grounded than that. And I'm not so naive that I think it wouldn't somehow impact the relationship. I'm almost thirty, and I have no desire to be friends with people who act like third graders.

I have to take something back, though. It's not just geek girls, it's hard core geeks in general that behave like that. I was in an Otaku club at my college, and it was the girls who were the really obnoxious ones, but now that I think about it I have seen a fair share of geek guys who act like that too. Just in that particular situation the guys were a little easier to talk to, and more still and quiet.


It's not even MOST, though. It's A FEW or SOME.

There are far more young single males than young single females. Yes, the ratios are reversed with older men and women. Young women marry older men for their money, leaving many younger men out in the cold.

I can't find proof because the media and academia alike refuse to talk about the issue of male datelessness.

I think this deserved to be quoted. There are approx an equal number of men and women on this planet.

you haven't explained what happens to all the women who are alone. they occur in equal numbers of single men. what about them, rejected by men? you overlook them as they are not convenient for your theory.

and that is quite an attempt at sidestepping the fact that you do not have any basis for your assertions.

So now it's a conspiracy, is it? :roll: Perhaps it isn't studied by academia because there really isn't this horrendous imbalance as you suggest? Your taking the lack of proof as an affirmation of your theory, which is a blatant rhetorical fallacy.

That's just not what I've experienced. MOST of the ones I consider hardcore (I emboldened the adjective above) and not a FEW or SOME, are truly and ridiculously childish. And I can completely understand if nobody would put up with them but each other.

I know how that feels I'm not that much into anime but I do play videogames a lot and most girls look down on that I guess.I would love it if I could find a hot geeky girl who loves videogames as much as I do it would be on!! !! !!

Yeah, I'm the only dateless guy. Look at all the guys here in the same situation. By contrast, how many dateless women are here? Face it....Aspy men end up alone, Aspy women marry just like NT women.

Sorry dude, but geeky girls don't want you any more than the hot cheerleader types do. They, too, just want the alpha jocks. Trust me....I've approached enough "geeky" girls.

Ive known two married men who watched children's cartoons regularly (each had a favorite). That may not be as geekily specific as anime but..

I think the "imbalance" he refers to is the disparity in the number of men vs the number of women who habitually engage in casual sex - simple supply and demand is going to strongly favor the most physically desirable males.

In terms of "real" (committed and monogamous) relationships the ratio is exactly 1:1 - no more, no less.

This cant be taken as a sample because its too small.
I could link you to several blogs of lonely females that struggle romantically and try to support each other online and there are plenty of them, that doesnt mean that females have a harder time finding a partner, it just means that there are certain females that feel the need to vent online about the lack of romance in their lifes.
Also there are females here that have complained about their lack of success and all they heard in the past was that females had it easier which didnt help them or their inbox was full of messages from male members when they werent looking for an online relationship so an aspie female may not feel comfortable sharing their lack of dating life here.

Are you sure that they just want alpha jocks or does this mean that they rejected to go out with you therefore they must be evil and shallow. Im studying to become an IT and I get to see several geeky girls everyday and I can assure you that each of this girls has a geeky boyfriend, sometimes I wonder how did some guy get a girlfriend and find out that he is dating a classmate or something.

Look in the right places and you'll likely find it. The worst thing you can do is fall into the negativity trap, and it is a trap, that is passed off as advice by some.

O stop with this "geek" non-sense, what is it with people and their need to "group" a bunch of people?

Anyway to me yes I like anime but I also love playing sports and love going to theme parks, I also like to game and do anything that's exciting or fun, the men who usually complain about not getting a date is usually the men that have very few interests and are not willing to put in effort into getting women.

Anime does not = Geek like playing Sports does not = Alpha Male, it depends on the person themselves and grouping yourself to a group of people isn't going to help you in that regard, being an emo or a chav or whatever is quite childish in itself and it shows weakness, I scare other men & women because I can walk alone and be happy while they can't even take a step out of their group without feeling the need to cling to each other like leeches.

At the end of the day, if you want that woman/man then you need the balls (confidence) to be able to stand on your own two feet.

Good news! I stopped liking anime years ago.

Bad news! Still dateless.
