Males and Females

I'm not so sure it says that, it might say something else like they have no respect for you or that you're easy.

Sure I'm easy, but I do get respect also.

my take was it means you're too nice to be exciting for long periods but perfectly suited for making someone feel better about themselves after a shitty relationship murdered their self esteem

[EDIT] Eh, nevermind. I don't want to give away any of my secrets to the unappreciative. I just won't mention my awesome sex life around here, like I used to.

Probably my worst moment of obliviousness-until-too-late was with a Thai girl in undergrad. She'd sit next to me and ask to share my ochem textbook half the time in class; no biggie. In the department's computer lab she'd semi-often sit next to me and ask me little things like watching her stuff while she was away for a moment or to borrow a pen or something, and she'd always act incredibly thankful every time; just her personality I guess. Then she starts asking questions about me, my family, talking about her family, etc; ok. Then I begin to notice that she keeps crossing and uncrossing her legs and playing with her hair and giggling while talking to me; well she always seemed fidgety ever since I first met her so whatever. Then she asks for minor help with a lab report and she proceeds to unload a bunch of old exams and stuff on me; I immediately remember that she works with like three different professors doing volunteer/lab work, and suddenly get this idea that she's a departmental plant to find and expel cheaters. I don't want to accept the exams but I'm nervous as fuck now and just blurt out an awkward and ungrateful "OK"; she gives an enthusiastic "You're welcome!" anyways. One time she just randomly goes up to me and asks for help on a problem, but on a small piece of paper on top of the homework she has a phone number and email address. She says she wants to email me something homework-related and asks for me to write down my email, but I just ignored her info because I didn't hear her explicitly give permission for me to copy it down for myself. One time she arrives in the general study room/computer lab, gives her usual happy HI! and sits across from me, I say hi back. She then reminds me that class is about to start to I leave with her. While walking she suddenly asks me if I don't want to be friends with her; my reply is (closely paraphrased) "What have I said indicative of such?" and although she pauses for a moment to process the high levels of autism, she then tells me that she tries to be nice to me and that I'm always really monotone and impersonal. I say that it is not my attention and she's like "It's OK! " and then asks me if I drink coffee; I tell her no, caffeine disrupts my focus. Probably shortly later she asks me if I had planned on seeing Toy Story 3 apparently playing in the student union or something; I had not been aware of such an event and could not possibly have made any plans, so therefore I naturally I replied "No." The final straw came in a biochem lab. She randomly came up to me to fix my lab coat collar, both hands basically close to my neck and my face less than two feet from hers. I of course keep my head turned 90 degrees. Lab went late and there were a few things that had bothered me that day, and when I left she was going down the hall in the opposite direction, she said goodbye, and although I reciprocated I could tell my voice came out angry, and I'm pretty sure I didn't give her eye contact. The next day I saw her in the hall and gave my typical uptight and pathetic "Hello" I give to everyone I've spoken with once, and she didn't even acknowledge me. I made a conscious effort to avoid her entirely after that.

HBB, you need to sleep with a prostitute (or at least get a blowjob) to get some confidence, and stop overanalyzing someone saying "hi". You can use that brainpower which you obviously have to get plenty of women, but first you need to get un-frustrated by experiencing sex. She would have been a girlfriend or friend if you just had sex 1 time previously so you weren't being a frustrated weirdo. Also you need to stop telling yourself something's wrong with you. It's far better to be massively overconfident and ignore any flaws than to be underconfident to the point of submission to any woman like this...

 

[tagradh]

Ignore the above.

Trust no one. Fuck everyone.

But don't trust me. Or fuck me.

HBB should ask me for dating advice. It's the least I can do as a fellow autistic robot.

reading that giant block of text hurt my eyes but it was worth it

 

[Onder]

It is a very good post.

 

[tagradh]

I'm drunk enough that after a sentence or two I just went all Sisyphus/syphilis.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

I felt bad for HBB and that girl. I was also rooting for something intimate and cute to happen, but that went sour. I don't know you personality wise besides the Internet, but what if you run into her again? Would it be hard to explain that your "bye" didn't come out right? Idk.

no wonder hbb completely vanished from the mixtape game thread, he spent this week painstakingly writing up that post in between bouts of wanking and crying

I skimmed it and saw something about Toy Story 3 and read from there. I can only assume the beginning is good too.
