Why Men Are Walking Away From Dating

[Crossbreed]

Based on chatting with (and reading discussions by) female autists online, they appear to be even less likely to make the first move than a neurotypical woman.

Which makes sense. Seeing as a woman making the first move is rare even in the NT community, it's to be expected a socially stunted (AKA autistic) woman would have an even harder time making the first move. Hell, I'm living proof that even a socially stunted man has a hard time making the first move.

That is likely true in a "meat market" scenario, but both XX & XY autists feel more comfortable in the absence of such pressure, like ComiCons, etc.

All the ladies, that tried to pick me up before I meet my wife had no issue taking the lead pretty sure they were all NT's The way I acted was the anomaly. I'm no player they broke the rules. I had plans get through college. become financially stable, then search.

Being an Aussie might have played a role too.

To other Aussies?

Although most people do tend to stick to their own cultural groups.

I've never been to Oz (so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt). As far as the Anglosphere goes, I've heard the American/Canadian woman is the most reluctant to make the first move (while a woman in England/Scotland/Australia is comparatively more likely to make the first move)

I'm a Yank.

Maybe it's just an American thing, I've also been chatted up by Suisse, French, Colombian and Chinese women.

As a Canadian, noticed the ladies never had an issue making the first move, suspect it has more to do with me being on the spectrum. Asking if i want to share her hot dog, while relaxing on a park bench or standing in a bus shelter waiting for bus. Not how it's supposed to work. I was polite not interested.

Did she intend to cut it, or did she offer one end while she ate the other? (Inquiring minds...)

 

[Ronald Zeeman]

She just walked over sat next to me, asked if I wanted to share her hot dog. Thought it was strange. I think she introduced herself a bit more, was close to 50 years ago. It was at Toronto city hall I was just sitting on bench people watching.

As for marriage vs casual sex it also stands out to me as northern vs southers cultures thing. Similarly to talking to strangers and spending time dining in gastronomies. Southeners seem much more sociable to me

 

[vergil96]

both XX & XY

How about XXY? I'm very likely that in the light of my recent diagnosis

 

[Crossbreed]

XXY is a poorly-defined anomaly.

 

[vergil96]

XXY is a poorly-defined anomaly.

Sounds about right with regard to my experience with gender as a whole

As for being approached or approaching, I can go both ways, no problem with either

 

[Hypnalis]

XXY is a poorly-defined anomaly.

Klinefelter's is one the most common chromosome anomalies.
It occurs in something near 0,2% of males (so approx 0.1% of births).

Male, and male-presenting (unlike e.g. 5-ARD).

"In the majority of the cases, these symptoms are noticed only at puberty."

Just found out some women are using linked in to find possible dating candidates, sort of makes sense Person's employment back ground is laid out. Boy is the world changing.
