ASD dating and Men

Deleted user

I have tried over many years different dating sites with no luck. 

So here is my proposition:

Fiction has created an unrealistic portrayal of both masculinity and romantic love that no man, NT or not, can match it.

This makes successful partnerships for men, virtually unobtainable.

    It just occurred to me reading Emma’s post about, if I may paraphrase, unrealistic expectations of dating sites.

    Believing the hype is part of my ASD.  These sites say: “Yes you will find love.” “Our scientific algorithms mean you will find your perfect partner.” Etc, etc.

    My experience is that people on these sites tend to be scammers.  I didn’t fall for the “Oh I need money for X,Y,Z.”

    The reason for that is bullying by girls at school.  That always, unfortunately, makes me question a girls/woman’s motive.  

    Stay safe everyone.

    I've never done online dating, I don't trust them, like you said because of scammers. My cousin did online dating and got involved with a really nasty man, he was horrible to her.

    I do definitely intend to meet a nice girl some day but I want to meet her in person, so I can get to know her and hopefully she'll be the one. Sadly I think I'm a long way of from that day. But maybe one day.
