That's not true! Wait...argh...

It’s ok. It’s just how it is. Men/women arguing is like grownups arguing with children. Once you start arguing, you’ve already lost.

I don’t mind “losing” arguments to my wife. She is smart and right more often than I am. But our friends have noticed that when it comes to certain issues, I become a wall. Once I stop arguing without conceding anything, there is a certain sense of fear and dread. They don’t like it when I’m right about something! :lol:

Am I detecting a hint of misogyny there, SilverStar? :?

It's pretty useless to post a list of what NT women want to L & D on an AS forum. It will just reinforce those guys that are already heavy on acting and role playing so they can continue their unhealthy way of dealing with relationships.

About the only thing that is relevant is confidence, which is an all-human thing.

Having an unusual life-style usually doesn't appeal to many NT women, especially not when it is something as strange as what somebody neurodiverse might come up with. It's more commonly various subcultures they might belong to themselves that is meant.

Good social skills have no relevance whatsoever. Unless you are heavy on acting and role playing chasing after NTs, which will typically not work anyway.

Indeed, he should be listed as a potentially dangerous incel by now.

So is there any sexuality whatsoever that we DON'T have some insidious stereotype for?

What disturbs me about such arguments is that the idea is women are inherently "frustrating," which leads to the justification that we should be gunned down in the streets.

Men are just as complicated and "frustrating" as women, but you don't see women going on shooting sprees.

There's really no logical contest to your point XFG, but it makes me hope women don't want their own equivalent to the Napoleon complex behind the larger-than-life, westernized ideal of confidence Fnord's OP advocates. A bit of confidence is one thing but it's hard to distinguish from arrogance for a lot of people who practice these ideals, even if it's not to the PUA extent. Letting our culture rely so heavily on pompous vanity & power is dangerous with or without the bullets, it's not furthering equality to be asking for a piece of that.

Actually, it was a thinly veiled attempt at humor, with a little bit of truth mixed in. lol

It was a joke. If I argue with him, it becomes a paradox.
