Don’t forget to look me up on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter under “RealAutismSpeak” if you want to follow my daily exploits, for more than what I’m able to put out here–for the time–on this blog! Also on Clouthub, Gab, MAGAbook, Telegram, GETTR, and Minds as well.
Previous entries on dating here, here, here, and here.
I really, really, really wanted to get a video related to this entry up beforehand, but things…have just been crazy, and as a result I got a little bit too fried to know which aspects to prioritize and emphasize for a short TikTok/IG video. I was already mentally pulled 50 different ways this past week, but at least now I have the chance to discuss the topic in full, and who knows: maybe I’ll still get to a TikTok video that “everyone else” will watch, and will direct some to here! BTW, what you may enjoy about this one is that I won’t be focusing (much) on the “tin-foil hat” stuff; just…follow me, here; also, for all the gals reading this, I admit this will be an entry emphasizing a male perspective, but it might help ya if you have boys who are Autistic, and at the end I will bring it back together to be all-inclusive; hopefully you enjoy it either way!
One thing I’ve been doing a lot recently in my downtime before bed, or when I’m on breaks or whatnot is watching a lot of “redpill” dating/relationship video channels from content creators Strong Successful Male, Rollo Tomassi…and as of late a gent on Youtube named Darius M. One thing I really like about Darius’s videos is that he actually does commentary on videos that gals post on TikTok, citing their dating experiences, and what he calls a “before and after”….as in before they go on the date, and after they get off and get rejected, or they’re saying how they hate a certain type of guy, or something like that. One thing I will say that really stands out about his videos/commentary on the gals’ TikTok videos is that it helps you understand the “grading scale” better. Like…if you were to say “oh that gal is so hot, I’d give her a 10 at least”….yeah, ya would, until she opens her mouth. The pure idiocy that comes out of half the gals he shows….one of my favorite examples was this gal on a bit of a heavier side–and please bear in mind, I do also like gals with a little “extra” (think Melissa McCarthy, Rebel Wilson, Meghan Trainor, and Monica Lewinsky; there, I said it)–who based her entire offering on how “epic” her body was, how the guy was getting “all that”, and then she got the “pump and dump”, and…..she opens her mouth and starts complaining about “white guys”, and right there my interest in her alone crashed to the bottom of the scale. It’s almost like–in a way–it’s best at this time that folks like we are held at arms’ length, because the person on the other end often knows (or at least believes) they really don’t have anything to offer us right now….but relax, I’ll get to that. Got a little bit ahead of myself, but no biggie.
Anyway, the biggest piece of advice I normally hear when it comes to the world of dating in “modern day” is to forget everything we hear about how our parents did it, what the media tells us, and what we’re told we “have to do” to successfully navigate the dating world. Guys aren’t even supposed to tell gals they’re into that they’re into them; they’re supposed to show no interest, because if the gal senses any, she instantly loses interest, and emotionally hops somewhere else. Now….how in hell any meaningful relationship is supposed to form from that, in this case, I have no fucking clue; I mean….how is a married man supposed to remain “mysterious” with the woman he’s married?! According to these channels, the woman does not want to be an equal to the man, but wants to follow in the man’s pursuits; have him be superior to her….to look up to him, which is part of the reason the man isn’t supposed to show he really cares much, just throws out breadcrumbs of appreciation here and there. So….tell me my fellow Autistic brethren, are you starting to see where we might have issue with the world of dating, according to this? It’s pretty fucking blatant to me. And before everyone on Reddit blasts me for being a “misogynist” or something like that, because they’re not comfortable with hearing it, talk to Rollo, Darius, and SSM, and watch the videos that Darius comments on. I do hate to say it….but I see posts on Facebook from gals I know semi-confirming most of what is said, unfortunately; again, I believe I know why, but I’ll get to that in the end, and that’s where it’ll be inspiring to everyone, but get into “tin-foil hat” territory….
For those who are still mystified where the dating issues would come in, take the big one: how the man is supposed to show minimal interest at best to keep the gal’s attention; that’s…..not how the Autistic mind works. Either we’re interested, or we’re not….and believe me, the other party will know; it’s fucking obvious. If you don’t want us to be interested, trust me…we won’t be; so why the fuck would we waste our time with you, in that regard? Hell, not only wouldn’t we be……we really don’t have time to pretend to be, with all the chess we have to play to navigate life as is…..and why would we want to play pretend? Yeah, that totally leads to positive results….
What makes things even more fun in this is…..I’ve already stated in one of the linked entries above that no one seems to be able to hold a conversation for a damn, and if you don’t think this plays into what I’m about to tell you that I’ve endured, you’re kidding yourself: over the last year and a half or so, I’ve had tons of very attractive gals hit me up on Instagram, Telegram, and MAGAbook trying to get my interest, wanting to chat with me and all that….showing me their pictures (some I don’t deny that I’ve saved), but….they have nothing of interest to say, and don’t think I didn’t try to push some conversation. Sorry, but “what movie were you watching?”, and “who’s your favorite singer?” just doesn’t do it for me, anymore. On Telegram and MAGAbook, I’ll ask them “tin-foil hat” related questions, and even then they can’t hold a convo. My personal favorite example was this one gal– who’s profile pic on Telegram was taken at an angle which emphasized her massive chest, and her “seductively” staring down at you from above it–and we at least got to the point where she said (and yer gonna love this) “I’m starting anew trying to find a good man, as I just broke up with my former boyfriend”, and I literally decided to go against all the redpill advice right there, and flat-out said to her “you are very attractive, but you need time to heal; jumping into a new relationship won’t do that. Take some time now to find yourself; I wish you the best, and have a Merry Christmas”. Did she listen to my advice? Very doubtful, but that’s what I said to her. I pray for her, and that’s all I can do. Some more recent examples featured gals hitting me up for a picture, and I said “I’ll do you one better”, and sent them one of my TikTok/IG videos, so they could not only get my picture, but hear my voice, and see my mannerisms….and it literally kept getting met with “thanks but can I see a picture?” For those wondering, no, I’m not chatting with any of them now.
Now in relation to the dating/online aspect, there was a member of the community–albeit non-Autistic–who was involved with trying to help folks on the spectrum in the world of dating; I confess I’m not sure if he still is, as I have him on Facebook, and I’m almost never on that anymore; he did say–last–that he wanted to create an app to connect people in areas so that they could meet in person, and see if they connect, which of course is totally awesome. He also said that online dating is a massive detriment to Autistic people because those we think we connect with so well online we…don’t so much offline. I even offered at one point to highlight his app plans on my blog, but nothing ever came to fruition there. There is however……one aspect of his course that I take issue with, and it’s due to a common thing I hear about people who get together, and even move in together, get married, or whatever….the term is “settling”; I’ve actually brought this up previously here and here. Well in case I was too vague about my point there, allow me to further emphasize it here: I see settling as exactly that. It’s not what the person doing the “settling” really wants, and resentment and whistful “what-could-have-beens” will inevitably bubble to the surface, to quote a line from Casablanca “maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday, and for the rest of your life”.
In fact……there’s a very prominent artist in the music industry–and at this time, I still happen to love him–but from what I’ve heard in interview bits on Youtube–I believe his wife settled for him: Weird Al Yankovic, and I even stated as much to some people on Instagram and Twitter, and conveniently one of them tagged his wife in her response to me, stating she’s “independent, caring, and kind”, so to me that translates to “settled for him”, and I don’t say that to attack him, but more because I think he deserved better than to have someone “settle” for him, but if they’ve found their own way to work it out (especially with a daughter now in College), hey good on them! There is however one major aspect of the Weird Al scenario that…..was a major part of the reason I brought it up to begin with: no, Weird Al was not her first choice, but when she dated him, she discovered he wasn’t what she “thought” he was like (which I hate to say it, goes right back to what the redpill channels say about when you’re not a gal’s first choice: the “excitement” factor isn’t really there; no I’m not gonna go into all the details about that aspect…..listen to Rollo, SSM, or Darius about that).
And one of them even brought up an excellent test, btw, to any potential moms of those gals who say “no…..nothing like that!”: let’s say you were to meet one of the “beta” guys in your daughters’ orbit, and you try to say to her “why don’t you go with him? He’s a nice guy!” Ok…would you date him?! If the answer is “well no, but…”, then save it; you answered it. If you wouldn’t want him, your daughter knows. If the excitement and social currency isn’t there, she knows (and the latter you know damn well Autistic folks don’t have, anyway). Incidentally, this is yet another aspect Rollo Tomassi specifically brings up, and it involves prominent current name Jordan Peterson (who I very often try to do an impression of, and I sound like I’m doing a bad Scandinavian impression; however I do follow him on Twitter), who Rollo has often suggested has a very “20th century” mentality when it comes to the aspect of dating….a mentality that btw only works in a low frequency, but I’ll get to the crux of that at the end:
Jordan Peterson seems to be of the mindset of “settling down” with the other person, and “if there’s an aspect of the other person that the partner doesn’t like, to discuss it, so they can change it”. This is something I heard throughout my life, and honestly…..I think it’s a load of crap. So….ya shacked up with someone, but it turns out you don’t really want who they are, so you want them to be not them? Yeah……lemme know how that works out. People are who they are. Just start out by not being with them, then.
This aspect about the excitement of being with the other person, however, is gonna lead me into yet another rabbit hole territory about dating (yeah, I’m trying to cover a lot of this in one….believe me, I can bring it up again later, and rest assured, I will be): what we genuinely want out of our experiences.
Do some people genuinely just want a “normal” relationship where the guy goes to work to support the family, the wife stays home and maintains the house and kids, and everyone in the household conforms to a specific set of social guidelines, and it’s all 40s/50s-like stagnant? Yes, yes they do, and I’ve covered where a part of this heads in this entry. Incidentally, according to the red-pill channels, that’s what women “claim/realize” they want after they hit the “wall”, and don’t find the idea of their career fulfilling in the way they anticipated, and just want a family instead, and regret not having a family when they “had the chance” at a younger age. Here’s the kicker to this: I think it goes back to the whole “frequency/vibration” thing, as I’m not saying you’re wrong to want what you want….but I emphasize the stagnation part because it’s still all most of society really seems to know yet, at this time. One thing that has irked the ever-loving shit out of me every time I see a married couple who follows that routine is that the guy is very set in his ways, whether those ways be rational or not, and regardless of the level of rational, the gal follows it in lock-step, and will defend it to the ends of the earth just for that “normal” life. In other words, there’s no genuine growth, there’s just settling for contentment we’re programmed to “desire” on that frequency, and that’s it. Gee…and folks wonder why they desire all those likes on Facebook, and bong hits so often?
I wouldn’t want Mrs. Right blindly following me in lock-step, and just accepting any standard I set; I want us to be able to grow together to our ultimate potential, no matter what form that takes. I hear so many stories about gals who gave up their ambitions; changed their “missions” to be with a guy that they wanted. I wouldn’t want the one for me doing that. I mean….first off…if she’s doing that, she’s not being honest and genuine with herself, and sooner or later she’s gonna walk, anyway; i.e. yer not getting her. Second though….I want our missions to align for the ultimate, most fulfilling outcome. Am I being incredibly unrealistically idealistic with that approach? With the current societal understandings, 100%…….emphasis on current societal understandings….and this is where the “tin-foil hat” thing comes in to the benefit of both sides:
On the 3D vibration/frequency….those really are the only available options, because that wavelength isn’t about actual progress, or to thrive….but rather for bare bones survival and “just getting by”. I find absolutely nothing fulfilling about that concept, and while no one else does either….most humans are known to settle for it, fearing they can’t do any better. Well it make sense, seeing as how that’s how current society was designed by folks in very, very high places….with a scarcity mentality, but I’ll get into that at another date. I see once the 3D frequency is done, there will be far more options available for both….not just two people who don’t really want each other shacking up, having a kid, taking a few family photos to impress onlookers, getting a retirement, and calling it good. I think we’re far more likely to see people start thinking about thriving, and coming to terms with what they really do want, and finding the best partner to make that happen, and not just on bottom-feeder social standards. No one should expect nothing from their partner…..not when they have anything resembling confidence and self-esteem. There should be no need for a scarcity mentality, or belittling oneself to think they’re any less than anyone else. Those are mechanisms intentionally designed to keep everybody down, and unhappy.
And we can do better than that.
