Lol, that flirting stuff that you mentioned doesn't work, by the way. I fought my way past the shyness and tried those before, instinctively, and they didn't work. I was really sweet and nice about it, asking how her day was, complimenting her, telling her she was really pretty and stuff and how she was nice and stuff and was cool to hang out with . . . Apparently, in her words, that's 'creepy' to say that. :( Yeah, might need some new 'ways of flirting' to list there.

I think what you are trying to do here is nice-- it seems that you are attempting to provide a resource by which aspie men can find ideas for starting a conversation with women. However, these sort of "what women want/do not want" top ten lists do women a disservice, as they perpetuate sterotypes as some sort of verifiable fact. Firstly, where are you getting this data? Your profile indicates that you are male. Did you interview females? If so, how many?

And what is this "women's least favorite topic of conversation is politics"? Come on now. Women cannot be catagorized like this. We are just as diverse as men. From what I have seen on this particular forum, this seems to be a common point of misunderstanding.

Again, it seems to me that your intentions are good. And some of the adivice I think is helpful. One of society's silly little rules is that religion/politics are big no-nos for conversation with those you don't know well. But phrasing it as "what women do/ do not want to talk about" makes it seem like this is just some caprice of the female population and not society's problem in general.

Thank you for your post, DollyJupiter. I couldn't have put it better myself.

The trouble with lists like this is that there will always be exceptions. If you're in an academic environment, you will meet plenty of women who enjoy talking about weightier subjects like politics and religion. This list makes women sound terribly shallow, and personally I would never settle for someone who stuck to these subjects in conversation. I would look for someone with a little more breadth, because I wouldn't want to start a relationship with someone I had nothing in common with.

Yes it's well meant but you'd have a hard time finding one who was that profile exactly. There are huge variations in the individual. Ultimately you have to find out for yoursef.
