    How tall are you? (Men Only)

    5' 8", so the short side of average or slightly below average. Never really been an issue for me. I got my growth spurt early, and then just stopped getting taller.

    Kissing

    I enjoy it quite a bit! I've never really had an issue with physical contact, unless it is someone I either do not like or do not know.

    Do aspies need sex?

    I have zero drive to procreate... yet I have a massive sex drive. Personal needs and species needs, especially when people like us, who are wired differently, don't always coincide completely. Depends on the person.

    Do aspies need sex?

    There are different types of needs. Do I need sex to survive? No, but it does my mental health and happiness a lot of good. Do I need to eat anything other than lean beef, fibrous and dark vegetables, and fruit to survive (very healthily)? No, but I'm a lot happier when my diet includes more...

    Would you date someone with kids?

    Given my absolute and final "NO KIDS" policy... no, I don't think I ever would. I am adamant about never having children, hell I plan on getting a vasectomy within the next two years... just not in the cards for me.

    Selfish and cold?

    I've been called cold a few times, given my compartmentalizing of emotional turmoil and typically emotional subjects, preferring to deal with them in my own way, at my own time, typically away from anyone else (save a handful of very close friends and family). Selfish is one I don't think I've...

    Getting over a breakup

    When dealing with situations like this, especially where emotions are involved, I tend to bury every single thing I'm feeling and put on the front of rational, "logical" thinking. Emotions can be, and often are, especially painful to deal with for aspies, so we bury them. That was how I handled...

    Do aspies need sex?

    Just like NTs, some do, some don't. Some need just a little, some desire a lot. IT varies wildly. A good friend of mine is about to turn 21 and, except for a few encounters we have had, is perfectly happy being celibate and having been virtually celibate all her life, but is not opposed to...

    What song are you listening to right now?

    LOTS of emotions attached to this song. She was the opening act for the concert my (possibly soon to not be "ex") exgirlfriend and I went to that sparked off our entire relationship. We both basically went nuts over her. When we broke up I spent a LOT of long nights drinking to this album, and...

    What song are you listening to right now?

    One of my favorite rappers (Eyedea) made a grunge/punk record... and it's bloody fantastic.

    The Figure of Speech That You Dislike The Most

    See, I would interpret that statement exactly as you did. A million (1,000,000) and a half (.5). I would interpret "one and a half million" as 1,500,000, but not a million and a half.
