With that my short answer is NO! It's highly likely that there are more people out there that don't have your condition and still have massive social issues, where someone like yourself could possibly learn to overcome them or find an advantage in it. I know of VERY VERY VERY smart autistic people that can do AMAZING things. I would recommend doing 2 things though. Do some studies on non-verbals (body language, IOI's and the like), and try having normal conversation with people in social settings where you can. In that try to learn cues and listening skills. A give and take as it were. All things are possible my friend! First let me say that we all have to play with the hand given to us. With that my short answer is NO!

I want to meet a japanese woman and start a friendship. I want to work it slowly from a friendship and hopefully a relationship. But here's my problem, I have what is called, autism spectrum. It creates social problems for me on meeting women. Is this bad for me? I’m planning to go to a j-pop party this April. I want to meet a japanese woman and start a friendship.

I don't like all anime. I like anime for artistic sake. Also into old school gaming. 8 bit and proud. Arcade style games. I personally own a few arcade machines including pinball Galaxian and several pachinko and vending machines. Being eccentric artist, I tend to think in a completely new and albeit, bizarre way. Not a bad guy or dirty minded in the least. Old fashioned in every sense of the word. Old school anime fan. I don’t like all anime. I like anime for artistic sake.

It's actually very interesting to look at it from this point of view. If you look at relationships they way you look at games, then when you think about "replay" value it makes for some interesting conversations... I feel that both definitions really do apply.

]]> Comment on Picking up Women at the Club by Windigo http://otakudating.com/2010/08/01/picking-up-women-at-the-club/#comment-8 Windigo Tue, 03 Aug 2010 13:24:11 +0000 http://otakudating.com/?p=43#comment-8 All great points but I'd like to add some info on to that also about the approach on the dance floor. DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT come up behind a girl and expect to dance close, or at all for that matter. Alot of girl hate that and it typically will result in you getting a very nasty look. When trying to dance with a girl approach from her front or from a corner side over the shoulder. You want her to be able to see you first. Also with that you could be able to read weather or not she is even willing to dance with you. I prefer the side over the shoulder, close but not touching. Then maybe playfully copy what she is doing. Remember you wanna dance with her you have to make yourself worthy of such an honer, and showing your ability to keep up could be just that. Lastly and this is BIG! Just because a girl dances with you doesn't mean she is fully interested in you. Don't take dancing as the end all of pick up. It could be nothing more then she thought you were worth dancing with and THATS IT! If you find she keeps coming back, and is only dancing with you it may be a good time to take a break, isolate your target, and have a good conversation to see what the deal may/may not be.

I think you brought up some excellent points! Many people have the wrong idea about Otaku, Geeks, and Nerds, and hopefully we will be able to change that here! I love the point about dancing. Anyone who has been to an anime convention knows that these people can bust a move. I've seen first hand that Otkau are some of the best B Boys and B Girls out there. Can't wait for your next post!
