Struggle to connect with other women

Nic

I'm 30 and I struggle to make and maintain friendships with other women. It seems to get more difficult with age. Female groups have bluntly "ditched" me through school and college; I offended them or was too "weird"; I was oblivious I made them feel that way at the time. As I've grown older, I noticed I connected with males easier, and my female circle has dwindled and not grown since college. I can meet somebody, and we have similar interests, style and outlook; it should be easy, but I just can't seem to make a connection. I'm beginning to feel incredibly lonely and worried about my future. Can anyone give me some advice? How can I go about making a connection, without being forceful? or point me in the direction of any ASD woman's social groups in Yorkshire? (Is that forceful??) Thanks :-)

    While your feelings from relationship trauma is valid, shallowness is also ramped in men, hense men have such fragile egos that they can't order a cocktail instead of a beer when any guys he knows is around.  Shallowness and superficiality is actually a neurotypical thing due their overdeveloped emotional part of the brain with underdeveloped logic and rationality.  Women are just bitchier about it because they're wired to be more emotional.  However what you said as a man seemed to be very emotionally charged.
