JMA501, I'm glad you say you are happy. I think it is entirely possible to be happy on your own...however, I was trying to encourage a man who does NOT want to be alone...
My brother was like you, sounded like you, lived much like you say you live. But now, at 55, he says he regrets not finding a mate, marrying and creating a family because he is very lonely...
I never said I wanted to be alone. What I said was I accepted at 26 that finding a mate was never going to be possible for me and moved on to other fulfilling things like photographic arts. Ultimately being happy with the life I have.

Marrying and creating a family doesn't necessarily eventually guarantee non-loneliness.
I don't know your brother, but it seems he may have deeper issues going on.
ya, i spoke to a couple of male Aspies who are also in their early 40's, they say they have never had a relationship for more than 2 months
Great
I personally know two male Aspies (LOL I take no offense with this name but just find it to be super lame) who are in their early 30's and have had at least one relationship of 5+ years. One of them is myself. Hard to believe, I know! How do these Aspie people even manage to be able to use the internet?
And where did this post even come from? As far as I know, the OP does not claim to have Asperger's, so I'm not sure how that is relevant to this thread.
Forgive me if I'm wrong and the OP has indeed claimed to have Asperger's.

Well you are an exception, it's common for a lot of male aspies to struggle in dating and relationships

Why just the males?
I've had my struggles, but I live a pretty normal life. I think a lot of people who have Asperger's may also struggle with making friends too, not just having romantic relationships. Relationships in general.

Because guys have to be the initiators and having Asperger's affects a person's social skills, so obviously social awkwardness is going to hurt the guys more

OP struggles with all relationships and seems to have a lot of the traits. But he says he's not...
So...
To what does he attribute his extreme social awkwardness and inability to relate to his peers? Not to mention his belief that a 44 year old virgin with no sex drive or social skills is entitled to a 29 year old hottie because of a magic formula he found on the internet?
I truly am curious.
