| The main reason that you don't want to come on too strong in the beginning is that you don't know how she feels about you. It doesn't take much for a women to reject you if she has no romantic feelings towards you. Once a woman considers you unattractive, or not romance material, it's hard to change... |

Finland possibly - based on a "60 minutes" segment I saw years ago. I managed to find the show transcript online:

Hard to see how AS traits would stand out if that is an accurate portrait of the national culture. |

Needless to say I've had no success with online dating. |

I don't identify with anyone - at least no person still living or that has really lived.
Examples being writers, thinkers, or characters in films. Reality has almost nothing to offer me.
However the few phantoms that I do identify with do have some AS traits. |
