I mean, if you don’t chew you’ll choke to death on your food, so, no it’s not redundant.

Good!

I’m being dismissive because it’s not likely I’m going to stop talking about my interests any time soon and really don’t care to, but thanks for the advice.

Yeah yeah well I’m sure I’ll grow out of it.

Not too familiar with ADHD, are you?

Tbf the “antiquated sexist bullshit” is told to me by women themselves, not irl Cotton Hill.

Just the other week a coworker was asking how to get (some guy I’ve never met) to ask her out, I said (as I always do) “Fuck it dude ask him yourself, it’s probable he misses the signals entirely or is worried about being creepy for misreading you just being nice,” to which she replied “no, women want to be pursued, I can’t ask him out.” And it wasn’t the first time I’d heard it, (even replied “yeah I know, but it usually works”). Sooo idk, maybe it’s really just that they’re afraid of rejection but saying that doesn’t sound as cool as wanting to be “pursued,” or maybe it is just nice to feel wanted for everyone and this is just an extension of it, but it is what it is, whatever that is. I’m just believing what they tell me for lack of evidence to the contrary. She’s cool and usually honest though afaik, we’re friends and shit, so, idk.

I’m also told it’s creepy to approach people in public except at a bar, which I no longer frequent. Then I’m told “get a hobby” but also “women don’t want to be approached while they’re trying to play d&d (example hobby),” and I’m also told to go to the gym, but then told that women don’t want another guy being a creep trying to talk to them at they gym (plus it feels disingenuous pretending I work out just to meet women, I’m also plenty active and just in shapeish from that I guess.) It’s probably fine if you’re not diagnosed as “literally does not understand social cues” ADHD and something something executive function (I have the paperwork somewhere. Somewhere…) or if you don’t care if people think you’re creepy. But for me it’s too much to navigate it regularly.

To the playing hard to get people, you’re probably right, but I’ve never got close enough to find out, because if I even ask to begin with, at the first no I say “ok” and never ask again.

Me too, but I’m told “women don’t want to be the aggressor, they want to be pursued” and then there’s the ridiculous concept of “playing hard to get,” which I’m somehow supposed to be able to navigate.

Never fully understood any of it myself, so I can’t help much. Much easier to just not talk to people, especially as a neurodivergent.

You must have asked a woman, ime that’s the “big hint” that I’m the idiot for missing. No if you’re a dude you have to pursue them but also not do that at all.

As someone with crippling ADHD, if impassioned talking about my interests is cool, consider me Miles Davis.

Problem is, the same girl who finds it attractive will find it annoying in a week or two, and all of a sudden that thing she liked makes me a jerk.

Ctrl+f “Mark”

Cool, it’s already here. Me too.

He beats up Asian people for fun you know.

You shouldn’t. Support your instance or something idk.

+1 for Mission Hill. Bling Blong.

Adding a few more of questionable obscurity, idk if these are well known or not, since many of the ones OP posted I thought were well known. So that’ll have to be judged independently but at least these all are good and sorta fit.

Also if it doesn’t have to be “adult” (Billy and Mandy on OG list) then add:

Freakazoid!

I suppose, could be.

Though tbf, I don’t go anywhere “with dating front and center in my mind,” I go places for reasons, and sometimes while at these places I see someone I think is cute and also looks maybe cool, and then dating pops into my mind, like, “oh shit they’re cute, and they look like they might be cool, I wonder if they’d be into me and if it could work out.” Dating is put into my mind by nature of seeing someone I may be interested in dating.

Is that not normal?

This thread is not meant for autistic people.

“Yes you can talk to women in public, but also not flirt with them even though that’s the obvious context of the post, but also there are some public places you can flirt with them that are somehow different from the other public places, and also it’s fine in the places where it isn’t.”

I’ve come to the conclusion from this thread that the answer lies somewhere near “actually some women hate it and some women don’t, and since the only way to find out which is which is by stepping on the landmine, you might as well flirt with anyone you want at wherever you see them, but do it politely and move on if she says no.”

And in all honesty, yeah fuck it, I’m gonna. I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, but being that the other option is “die alone and get eaten by my cats” I think it’s just going to have to happen.

Women don’t want to be solicited while at work or on personal business (groceries, gym, etc),

But they’re fine being solicited while

classes put on by your local city parks, local library’s events, nearby city or town for groups that meet regularly?

Maybe I’m too autistic to understand, but unless those groups are specifically meant for finding a date, it seems to be functionally the same as “personal business.” They’re not interested in being solicited, they just want to have class at class, or book club at book club, or talk about town planning (or whatever these enigmatic town meetings contain) at the meetings. What makes them so different? Even if they’re there to talk (like a book club,) they’re there to talk about books not dating me.

I sure could use a Lusty Argentinean Maid tbf.

• Trees take time to grow

Sure, of course not removing literally all of them in the first place is preferable but hindsight is 20/20 I guess. And good things come to those who wait.

• Trees need to be planted

True, planting a tree seems a bit easier than installing a weird tank though, despite time to grow.

• Trees make shade

Good.

• Animals like birds and insects like bees and mosquitos like to live next to them

Good.

• Trees don’t need electricity

Good.

• Trees take in heat radiated from the pavement

Good.

• Trees don’t look cool

Bullshit.

…so you’re saying if I do cocaine and we sleep together you’ll send me link?

I’ll take one!

He later went on to be an electrical engineer at Boeing.

He wouldn’t happen to have been named Kenneth D. Pinyan, would he?

Jokes aside, real question did he meet ol’ Kenny Pin?
