Reply To: The Struggle with Finding A Partner

I think for everyone here on this site the desire is quite potent. We search, we hope…but ultimately, I have found in my near 40 years of life now that in the 21st century it is incredibly difficult to find anyone who can even remotely relate to people like us, even our own “kind.” 🙂

Standards are too high, too unrealistic, and then you toss in the weirdness of what genders are being taught these days in addition to people not being serious enough to actually make a difference when it comes down to seeking someone (ex. not having signed on to the dating site in over a month), the chances have been lowered even more than what is supposed to be natural. Not trying to be purposefully negative or anything…just being realistic, and these are things that even “normal” folk have to contend with. Could they imagine just how much harder it is for aspies like us who don’t understand even 50% of what normal people have going on inside their heads?

And what makes it suck even more…is that most of us are indeed better than a lot of “normal” people out there, and yet they’ll end up with the worst kind of trash while superheroes like us carry on in our lonliness and depression. Sorry if this comes across as egotistical or something…but I think highly of our kind. Most of us are geniuses in some fashion, and we annoyingly get passed up by ignorant “normies” who wouldn’t know value if it jumped up and bit them in the rears. Just saying.
