I've always suspected that I have Aspergers because my social life was terrible growing up. When I turned 13, peer pressure and the media taught me that women were objects to be manipulated and exploited. My mother was nowhere to be seen to correct this (I went to a school 3 hours away, only saw parents on weekends).
It's not easy to turn off that programming. It's a new year and I want to try dating again. Then again, I say this at the beginning of every single year and I do nothing about it.
Just sharing some thoughts.

I ignore it because most likely, I would never date that person anyway.
Usually, if someone says that they hate others in this way, it usually means that they hate THEMSELVES.

Well, most relationships don't make sense to me anyway, especially when they involve two people that eventually get to a point where they can't stand each other, etc.
I'm the type that can have a short conversation with someone and then lose further interest in the conversation. I literally run out of words and rather than let it get awkward, I just stop talking. I've only found one person that took offense to it and we no longer chat. She was quite possibly the most negative person I've ever known in my life.

So true. I got married young, and we had a kid. One year into the marriage he got into a bad wreck that changed him. We were dirt poor, and I had no idea how to cope with being married and being a good wife. I have a whole new goal in my life now, I plan to get my nursing degree and work towards being a missionary in Peru or Brazil by the time I am fifty, and I want to die doing that kind of work. I dont have plans to be with anyone, but I am the type who goes with the flow and lets life happen most times.

I think that every man has a "bad boy" phase and unfortunately, some never grow out of it.
Some women are programmed to go for that kind of junk. It's like the woman that only dates guys that to me, are total jerks (but to them, are like gods or something). Eventually, they get sick of it and come looking for the real men.
Unfortunately, there is no more time to sit around and wait for the right one to come. I've got better things to do with my life and I shall continue on.
