| Of course the brain works different for people with an autism diagnosis. Otherwise we wouldn´t have had the diagnosis in the first place... |

| I strongly doubt it. It is very long since they died out and within larger areas it would be practically the same percentage for the entire population as people have mixed so much since then. However the neanderthals did as far as i understand have lower skills than modern humans when it come to soc... |

| Actually, I think it depends a bit on which person it is. If it someone very close that you feel comfortable with, then eye contact (and social contact in general) might be easier. It is particularly difficult with total strangers, like on the bus. Sometimes I do not know where to put my eyes and so... |

| Nur ein bischen. Ich habe Deutsch in Scule gelernt, aber ich habe die meisten vergessen. Ich habe es nicht benützt. Heute versuche ich Spanisch zu lernen. Später kann ich vielleicht versuchen etwas Deutsch zu wiederholen. |

| I have been searching for a good man that is a gentlemen. What happened to the men opening our door, pulling out our chair or even using manners? It seems nobody wants to act respectful and pick me up at my house and meet my parents. I may be somewhat old-fashioned but if a man can do all that he c... |

| Actually, sometimes when I am on a site like tagged.com, I try to come to think of cocky and funny jokes to write as comment to a woman´s picture, but I cannot come to think of any. Besides it makes me feel that I am trying to give a false picture of myself, I feel somewwhat uncomfortable about it. ... |

I used to dance when I was younger, but then I mean more the sort of "free style dancing" you do at the dancing floor when you go out at friday nights. Sometimes I got a bit a bit to crazy, I guess, like when they played "Smells like teen spirit" by Nirvana, then I almost run into people...  |

| Actually, it does happen that I eye-flirt with a woman unintentionally, but then it comes natural, not as something planned. I I know for sure that a woman is interested it is also much easier, the summer of 2009 I had a (unfortunately short-lasting) relationship to a woman here in Norway. Then she ... |

| Personally, I find Latin women to be most attractive in general, I guess this also have to do with culture. When it comes to the United States, I have the impression that the country is very segregated, so I assume that people in general tend to interact with people within their own group and thereb... |

| I have read this several places: "Great flirting requires mastery of eye contact". For me, eye contact is a very difficult thing and when I intentionally try to flirt with or get the attention from a woman, I very easily get nervous and thereby comes out as a wuss. I have been reading about differen... |

| Finally it seems like all the areas are represented, although Europe and North-America are strongly overrepresented, in particular Scandinavia, considering that there are less than 20 million Scandinvians. |
