I really should have worked this out earlier in life (I'm 29), I'm giving serious consideration that I might be bisexual. Despite having no problem with anyone else's sexuality, I didn't want to be yet another stereotypical bisexual geek girl...now I'm wondering if due to that I've been suppressing ...

Interesting! I don't quite get that, but I do get anxiety when I eat too much. That may just be because there's less room in my chest for lungs and I can't breathe properly.

First, IMHO "maturity" is fairly meaningless when referring to anyone over the age of about 21. Beyond that age how intelligent/responsible/socially successful someone is has more to do with personality traits which will stay with them for life than their age. Secondly, the term is even le...

I'm not going to vote in the poll because I'm not sure which way round it's supposed to be and even if you tell me I expect some people will have voted thinking it's the other way round so the results won't mean much. I think it's fine for them to have children. I didn't really want children until r...

So far, you have not addressed the issues of personal hygiene, appropriate clothing, and who pays for what when. Personal hygeine seems to be obvious even to WP members. I haven't seen anyone post things like "I shower every other week, why won't women come anywhere near me, or men for that ma...

"Being yourself" is not working in many circumstances. Yes, when acting like you feel more comfortable you can find like-minded people around but there is no guarantee there would be any of opposite sex - many mindsets, hobbies and interests have vast majority of M or F. I felt about it f...

This is my attempt ad educating some of the misogyny out. Some more! There is no female conspiracy. If there is, I wasn't invited. Being nice to women isn't some secret we don't want you to know, it's something we DO want you to know, because why on earth would we want you to make our lives more dif...

They'll have to find me first :) I can't see a way to edit my post - I missed the actual "don't" on point 2 - don't assume that acceptance of such drinks/favours followed by not wanting to sleep with you means she was trying to deceive or use you. It also doesn't mean you don't have any ch...

I've noticed quite a lot of wrongness and misogyny on here lately, I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt given this is an ASD forum that the men posting it are genuinely naive and have fallen for PUA rubbish rather than actually being the massive sexists usually propogating those views. So I'd ...

It hasn't always been like this, though. Some decades ago it was still normal that the man invited the woman, and maybe there are still people thinking that way. I'm very happy this has changed. Because, when I was 19 or 20, I had a few really bad experiences, like, when I thought a guy only wanted...

Why the assumption that the girl is out to deceive? Maybe she really is unsure whether she wants a relationship and that's the whole point of the courting/dating process, sometimes the outcome will be "not interested". It's not that the man is being used, it's that showing an interest in a...

Funny enough many jobs now require a masters degree, especially in the IT field. I only went into the masters program due to the job market being practically non existent. That doesn't surprise me, but my point was that if you look at my CV, there's 3 or 4 years between my undergrad and MSc with no...

It might actually be an aspie thing to some extent - I've always been told that the best cure for them is excercise and aspie girls are probably going to be less likely to be into sports?

I've been asked to review this for work from an autism perspective, do any WP members have further input?

There does seem to be an infuriating anti-sweet-spot of too little experience for some jobs and too much for the rest. I fell into that temporarily due to having a Master's from an extremely prestigious university (so unskilled places put my application in the bin), but places who like that enough t...

That doesn't fit my experience, unless I can add myself to the list of people who stopped being gay. Before puberty I was more interested in girls and was disgusted at the idea of any romantic interaction with boys. This interest was such a childish proto-attraction I don't consider it a meaningful ...
