I'm not entirely sure what this says about me, but this is exactly what I want out of life.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 121 points 1 week ago (6 children)

If you meet a vaguely autistic hottie who is into you, under no circumstances fumble. I don't usually feel qualified to take my unsolicited life advice that seriously, but I mean it this time.

Sorry to hear about your small head.

Yes, BUT I unfortunately can't stand the cigarette stench.

Switch 'em to vapes (and perhaps a MAO inhibitor), gonna be worth it...

Same energy as an unhoused cat choosing its new home.

I have zero game and no clue when it comes to signals.

I need this kind of woman, one that will be forward me.

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 105 points 1 week ago (6 children)

"Game" doesn't exist. Clean yourself, be respectful of others, talk to people. That's the entire game.
You just lost the game btw, but that's to another point

My 'game' issue is I kind of break down when I speak to a girl I am interested in.

I get so nervous and overthink that I stop functioning. I run out of things to say and the conversation just doesn't flow. I put way too much pressure on myself and it is extremely difficult to break out of it.

But if I speak to girls I am not interested in, then I am more myself. No pressure, not trying hard.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Hormone driven anxiety. You don't actually like those women. You haven't spoken to them so you don't know if you like them. You horny them.

Jerk off before you leave the house. It'll help.

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Stop talking to women as if you're trying to get into their underwear. Speak to them like someone you want to be friends with and if there's interest both ways something might happen and it might not happen and that's OK because you made a friend.

[–] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I never said I was trying to get into their underwear or pick them up or take them home.

It is not my goal, it is not my aim. I have never had a one night stand.

It's usually girls I know through other people, friends of friends that I have been around and developed some interest in. I often feel that I only have a small window or a single chance to make a good impression otherwise someone else may catch their attention.

I was young, I was stupid and placed so much pressure on myself and end never ended well.

I'm a lot more calm and comfortable now, but I don't head to pubs or bars to meet people. Not my thing.

Any interest I have now is the time I spend chatting to a match on a dating app and then meeting up in person.

I really like meeting that person where the conversation just flows naturally, you look at the time and it's been hours since you first met and didn't even notice it.

[–] phar@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Dude has anxiety and you're talking to him like he's purposefully being a jerk. Not cool.

My friend was like that. He had a lot of friends who were girls, and the way that he handled that was by putting us all in the "friend" box (he was bi, so he did the same for guys, but given that most guys are straight, that wasn't as necessary). It was a great method until he ended up hooking up with his best friend — it was a surprise to no-one but him. He walked around looking shellshocked for a week.

Yes there is. I knew a guy who was mostly an asshole, didn't look after himself, but could always pull hotties. Relationships didn't last though, so there's some balance in the world.

This is my dating strategy, just exist and hope one day some alt girl just decides were dating now.

Definitely Fae if she lives on black licorice, that thing is absolutely not meant for humans

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 26 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Black licorice is S tier, especially the good and plenty variety

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure... I'm proud of my comment, I'm now making a list of all the Fae users of Lemmy. You guys can't trick me now!

may I have the name of your list (so I can remember it of course)?

Either that or Danish. They love that stuff over there for some reason

[–] TomasEkeli@programming.dev 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Norwegian here. The Danes licquorice consumption does not impress.

The Finns, however... Scary people.

I love black licorice 🖤

I'm not entirely sure what Fae is (I'm guessing a fairy?) but I'm from a magical land called New Jersey so I'm pretty sure I'm human

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Fae are like, earth spirits. Not exactly malevolent, but tricksterish, deceptive and vengeful. Not to be trusted. Never eat their food or play their games. Don't fuck with their animals or their homes or they'll gaslight you to death

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 6 days ago

Oh, I've met one of those, I call her Mom.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Fae depending on which lore you refer to (usually) means like an umbrella term that includes fairies and any other being that is magical and aligned with nature (but not a beast; dragons aren't Fae for example)

Avoids sunlight, literal-minded, and hisses at strange women?

I'm not trying to be mean, but she's probably on the autism spectrum. My girlfriend has it and this is her to a T.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 12 points 1 week ago

There's nothing saying being Fae and autistic are mutually exclusive conditions

Congrats bro.... happy for you....

[–] topherclay@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

what are those three things behind the dude? windows? hanging picture frames? I don't understand what the two angled lines are on the tops of them if they are either of those things.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is my partner, minus the goth (her thing was hip-hop).

I wonder just how many times people on the spectrum were looked at as "Fae".

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 24 points 1 week ago

I've definitely seen claims that the idea of "a far stole my baby and replaced it with a changeling" could have been caused by ASD.

[–] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.org 17 points 1 week ago

I read a long time ago some esoteric bullshit book and the author literally described people on the spectrum as fae changelings.

[–] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 week ago

Kind of brought a tear to my eye

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Yeah thats an autistic goth woman. They're magnificent

Don't worry, that's just a dhampir with a couple levels in suckubus. You let the right one in.

Direct and to the point. Not many can boast to be this good at communication.
