Keep in mind that a difficulty finding a girlfriend may have nothing to do with a personal fault but strictly of differences. If you are older than the general university population (18-22, I assume) your personality, outlook, and idea of a relationship may be too mature and goal-oriented than those of someone younger who just wants to "have a good time." As a college student, I can tell you, my fellow students aren't nearly as mature as I had hoped them to be...

So how do I meet female Aspies if there aren't any where I am?

Maybe you could try to find locations or places that stereotypically the type of personality your interested in would normally congregate. But...beyond that I really don't know, that's a tuffy.

Try Portland, Oregon. In Portland we have 4 major colleges you can choose from.

University of Portland
Portland State University
Lewis & Clark College
Portland Community College

PSU has a rolling admission, so you can apply anytime you want.
This also might be your best bet since it does have a geology program.

PCC is cheaper, since it is 2-year.
It also has 4 campuses about the Portland area.
{They are Cascade, Rock Creek, Sylvania, and Southeast Center.}
The only problem is you will have to wait until May to take classes,
if you are willing to move to Portland.

The average off-campus apartment costs in the region of $500-750 a month.

Portland is a very liberal city, but choose where you live wisely.
As for looking for female Aspies your age, don't count on it.

This implies that my chances of finding a liberal, South Park-loving Aspie woman is zero.

And I truly feel that people who watch South Park are more likely to be liberal than those who don't.

I will never consider dating an NT because they will not tolerate my school-related unemployment, and the fact that I am slightly overweight.

Lots of NTs will tolerate the fact you're unemployed, as long as you're getting an education instead.

And lots of NTs will tolerate you being overweight, given that so many of them are overweight themselves!

I don't understand...aren't many NT's in the same situation? And unemployment is understandable if you're busy with school.

But, if you really feel that this is an issue, then I guess the common-sense response would be to get in shape and get a part-time job (preferably at or near your school). I'm kind of in the same position, and that's what I want to do.

As for the original question (regarding the financial and and quick part-time finish issues), the best major city in the country was Memphis, Tennessee. The best major city in Texas was El Paso.

Though this maybe off topic but Tennessee is lacking to preserve its history in particular the battlefields of the American Civil War in the state.

I saw that UVA and William and Mary were actually worth the pay for because the education you received there is worth the pay.

Tim,

You do realize that Texas has been a conservative state quite sometime. While the Commonwealth of Virginia is a liberal state and will more likely be liberal by election time. Though I have friends state that Gov. Kaine is terrible well if he is then why would he try to increase educational funding and take down the insane traffic laws. I think you should just transferred to Mason and you won't have deal a lot with conservatives.

Surprisingly, Texas' affiliation with the GOP only dates back to 1978. And I know Austin is less conservative than the rest of the state.

Part-time employment wouldn't be sufficient. NT women will only date guys who make at least $50,000 a year. And none of the NT women in Wichita Falls are liberal, they are all conservative. And they take fundamentalist Christianity very seriously. If God told them to jump off a cliff, they would do it.

If that were true, 99% of male students would never get dates.

Unless college has changed a lot since I went, that's not the way it is.
