I'm inclined not to look at life as a game. That's what really creeps me out, the social score keeping.

:shrug:

There's no part of love that I feel like regarding as some dotcom branded point & click experience.

Society is creepy as hell, so it's scapegoating us.

Yeah it definitely has some strong hints of Black Mirror doesn't it?

No. I stay away from them unless absolutely necessary so I wouldn't know anyway.
But my XH did say that his friends thought I was weird.

You know full well this isn’t true. It’s a gross simplification that is not only dismissive of the difficulties women (and men and non-binary people) often have getting people to believe them and take their claims seriously. It’s also not what happened here - if the story had been automatically “believed” then he’d have been told not to come back rather than simply being reminded of the rules.

Please don’t make knowingly insensitive statements in order to start gendered friction between users here. This is a place for autistic people of all genders and none to discuss dating together, not a place for any gender to denigrate the other or play the victim.

I have but there's a good chance I did or said something kind of creepy on purpose.

I have a bit of a dark side to me and when it comes out it can make some people uncomfortable. Sometimes I find this hilarious; which in itself is probably a bit creepy. Other times I am disappointed. I'll let something odd fly simply to see if the other person can be open or swing with it. If they can't or respond very negatively about it I know then that I'm not going to have anything of interest to talk about with them.(That they are too square or boring).

I've been avoided for being weird and odd but creepy typically hasn't been an issue like it has for some of you. =/ Guess I've been lucky

But face of boo has seen some pretty nasty situations with women from what I remember. I broadbrushstroke too its a bad habit I dont think its more than that . When my Xhs sister became a drug addict she was actually studying to be a lawyer at the time anyway she wanted money really badly she stole computer from the workplace etc.. so anyway in the state of mind she accused him of something huge which she wanted to sue him for for money for drugs.

So you never know. She took it back since privately with no coercion nothing she didnt take it back publicly and yet at the time all her friends on facebook believed her. Actually I believe that comtributed to his extreme anger and depression inside him after that

Not much you can do. I would never intentionally be rude or harmful to anyone, and that's about all I can say. :(


Yeah that happens to me too where I stare at ppl too long then they think I’m checking them out

Im just either not thinking or something caught my eye like recognizing their vibes and trying to link it to ppl I know... or trying to figure out something the hair or something...

Women are quite mean but in a snake way to me, not all but a lot but they dont say anything to me per se


my ex MIL called me low functioning and dysfunctional behind my back, which my sister In law told me later,

and I took it personally like oh she thinks im a nasty dysfunctional soap opera perspn (?) low thinking low morals low integrity ..
Now I know it was just an accurate observation of actually not being anle to function normally and wish more ppl had realized that sooner of me lol

I've been accused of staring at people when I was in school & just daydreaming. I had my head turned in their direction but I was not focused on them or even noticing them sometimes. One time in high-school I had my head on my desk cuz I was tired & a couple of my peers jokingly accused of of staring at a girl's legs. It was a Catholic school so the girls were required to wear skirts. That girl really did have nice legs but I was not looking at them at the time. I was zoning out half asleep.

It is a simplification of the truth but it doesn't mean it's not true either. Unless you've been living under a rock over the last ten years, you'd know that society has almost completely sided with women in this regard and many men have had (later proven) false accusations lobbed at them and have ended up in jail over it. Yes, sometimes the allegations are true but oftentimes they're not but the accused are rarely believed and are guilty until proven innocent (if they ever are). I don't think TheFaceofBoo was intending to start any friction with baseless claims, I believe he was just being honest with his and others' experiences with intergender situations and it's a very serious problem in this day and age.

And they didn't ask me to come back to volunteer... I merely applied through a random draw and was selected. The only reason I wasn't blacklisted from volunteering was because no formal written report was filed, it was reported casually by the volunteers to one of the supervisors they were friends with and there wasn't substantial evidence to support their claims to take it more seriously. But a warning is still serious enough and if the situation had been reversed, it wouldn't have even been acknowledged at all. A man who complains about sexual harrassment from a woman would almost never be taken seriously. Maybe there's a few exceptions every now and then but it's very rare.

Yeah and that was with Prophet Joseph / Yusuf too where the woman accused him of attempting rape even though she was pursuing him and later did that again n he was jailed for years and years.

Women are also believed when they slander other women if they make it sound just believable enough esp if done to make their target lose credibility when the slanderer was the one actually doing something bad.

The person more established in society is usually believed , regardless of gender though, if u don't count sexual abuse allegations.

I'm sure I can't be the only one that's happened to multiple times.

It's just evidence that cluster B (ie. narcissism, psychopathy, etc.) doesn't have gender boundaries.

Yea but they are geniuses at hiding it from most ppl as they don't target ppl who are of. benefit to them..and they also need a 'posse' to have power in NT society..

Luckily; I was never accused of rape/harassement. I also *refuse* to have sex with a drunk woman; even with my recent ex.

But I don’t live under a rock either...
