    Stephen King Vs Dean Koontz

    Koontz is okay and all, but King has better... well... everything.

    I'm always going to be on my own

    See, to me that doesn't disprove the stereotype so much as reinforce it. Where do women get the idea that all men want them? I suspect it's through living in a world where most men want them. Of course there are always exceptions, but that doesn't change the general tendency. I mean, look at...

    So, how do you deal with surprises?

    I'm not a fan of them. If I turn out to have to do something in a day that I didn't know about when I woke up that morning, it tends to lead to a lot of internal griping and self-pity. But, I try to pretend that I'm a reasonable human being and go through with unexpected challenges as if I...

    What is your view of a true warrior?

    I would generally say that I don't consider a warrior to be a good thing to be, but I feel like I might be able to get behind something called "a warrior-slacker ethos." :D

    How many of you have older parents?

    My mom was 39 when I was born. I can't remember how old my dad was, but he was roughly the same age. So yeah.

    I'm always going to be on my own

    This is not the first time in my life I've had to make this observation, and it won't be the last, but: people are very strange. With that I can agree. Being attractive, as a man, isn't about being able to hit people over the head with a club, it's about having a solid personality and being...

    I'm always going to be on my own

    You know, I would love to believe that you're right, but all I see when I look around is common interests, emotions, judgment, financial factors and convenience being given vague, handwavy lip-service before people run off and obey their instincts. And then they tie themselves into knots...

    I'm always going to be on my own

    Sorry. :( For what it's worth, I would totally want to date you if we turned out to have stuff in common. I mean, I understand that that's cold comfort given that we probably live on different continents and all, but... Hrmpf, I have seen very little evidence that anyone ever does anything...

    I'm always going to be on my own

    Tangentally, I suppose that does lend credence to the persistent rumour that women get friendzoned too. I may have to accept that that is a thing that happens. I just don't understand how or why? I mean, I just can't imagine such a thing as a woman who I liked as a person but who I nevertheless...

    I'm always going to be on my own

    Ugh. I know, right? Being unhappy about being single is considered some sort of personal failing. And yet, all those people in relationships put a lot of effort into getting into them and are putting a lot of effort into staying in them. For something that supposedly isn't as important as all...

    Aspie women that prefer the company of men?

    I'm the opposite. I'm an autistic man who prefers the company of women. I think because women are more willing to put into words how they're feeling. Men more just expect you to guess. I'm not very good at guessing.

    Do others find your lifestyle and values baffling?

    I'm not sure that people are perplexed by my values so much as they consider them the mark of a sick mind. They seem to have no problem sorting me into one unflattering stereotype or another. One might say that they are the opposite of perplexed - they assume that they understand me all too...

    What is a relationship?

    You seem to understand a relationship as a state where you take care of someone else but get nothing back in return. That's not how it's supposed to work. Your partner is supposed to take care of you and try to make you happy, too. You're supposed to both end up better off for the arrangement...

    Adapting to being single for life

    Heh! You know, I don't think any woman has ever asked me if she was fat. I've known plenty who were dead certain that they were fat even though they very clearly weren't, but they always seemed to be secure and comfortable in their negative body image. This definitely falls under the heading...

    Adapting to being single for life

    Oi, careful there. :p No woman wants to have sex with me, and I absolutely reject the notion that that's because there's something objectively wrong with me. Whatever the reason, it certainly has never stopped me from having close platonic friendships with women that span decades - something I...
