AUTISM IS NO LAUGHING MATTER
I am a 53 yr old autistic man. When I was growing up Autism was not recognized here in Canada 
. It wasn't until 1985 that Doctors in Canada stated that Autism was real 
. Still because it was new and the doctors did not know all the signs to look for I still slipped through the cracks .
Mean while I had to learn the hard way to protect my emotions from being hurt verbally and physically
. I did this by building walls and keeping people as far away from myself as possible. I still kept who I was because I did not want to be anybody but myself. I did make friends but they were far between. They actually had to basically force themselves into my life and get to know me and accept me the way I was.
Out of desperation I went on dating sites and eventually found someone to marry. Because I did not at the time realize that my emotions were in control I looked away and ignored the type of person I had married. It turns out that she has to be in control all the time and if she does not get her way then she will use a tone of voice that makes me feel degraded. She also because she does not or will not accept that I do not think the same way that normal people think, holds things against me and will not have sex with me. At the age of 4 our son tested positive for Autism and has been getting help ever since. He is now 14 and he loses his temper a lot with me stating that he is going to hurt me etc........
This is why I am now on this site. I am not looking to divorce my wife I am just just trying to look for female friends here close to where I live and spend time with them away from my house and wife in private where she can not see because if she finds out living in hell would be better. Also I hope these friends would also be the type to have sex with me when we are spending time together. These friends are what you call FWB's. The reason I am looking for someone between 18 to 25 is because they would be a real blessing to me emotionally. I understand that it would have no strings attached but that still does not mean we can not be friends and also lovers.

I knew it was only a matter of time . . .
. . .before his Aries Moon showed its a$$. 
Wow, I guess I shouldn't be shocked it didn't last the typical 90 day probationary mark that most employers have before they consider giving their employee benefits.
Oh well
Mercury's going retrograde in 2 weeks, so best it ended before then. I def need to stay on a break from anything beyond a simple platonic friendship, while Merc is doing it's 2 month astrological/short-distance travel/communication menstruation complication dance.
Pisces Sun + Aries Moon = self sabotage

How carefully do you read a profile before writing or answering?

Just wondered, I think you just look at the photo, recall the age and maybe the town,
Tell me what else do you look at?

Something shared . . .
Interesting the Piscean Engineer sharing this information with me, especially when shortly afterward he admits to tolerating certain differences that we have. So, as much as he misses me when I’m not texting/messaging his Skype . . .as much fun as we have on the phone when we do converse — I see we’re on the same page; which to me is a relief. So he knows this arrangement between us is a temporary stepping stone to something greater later.
As far as that list goes, it’s all pretty accurate with the exception of number 9 (Tantra) and number 12 (Two as ONE). However, number 11 is hilariously SPOT ON! Every time he does or says something I was thinking, it makes me giddy as f*ck. The amusing bit is, he says it was number 11 that inspired him to share this list with me. I have experienced telepathy with all 3 water signs before (starting with a Scorpio), and with my Twin Flame who happens to be an Aries (his Moon is in Pisces, though - a Water sign, and Moon rules the mind facilitating telepathic connection with me)
I’m so curious how we’ll outgrow this relationship with one another. I am enjoying the ride and milking every cute/funny moment we can get for all they are worth.
We must be getting more famous
Yes, even the married stars are coming here to cheat.
I know, because one just contacted me.
I guess I shouldn't be shocked that Maitland Ward, actress from 'Boy Meets World', 'Home Improvement' and 'The Bold and the Beautiful' is hitting on me.
So, here she is right here on CS
Of course her name is different on here and the coast is wrong and she's been married since 2006
and living in California since 2009. Plus, she's 44 not "29".
But hey, lets not get picky.
Yes, I KNOW it's a scammer. Do you HAVE TO burst every bubble ?
Well, not hers.

I love happy love stories
I just saw Mimi blog. She doesn't allow comments but I wanted to say I'm so happy to see how she is.
Seems CS works. Lovely love story happened and is still going. I have always loved her frankness.
Hugs and kisses Mimi and Art.
P.s Art hope you enjoyed the cake, I consider you a very brave man.

Ever feel like you want to tell someone you love them . . .
. . .but are afraid of the consequences of that, if/when they take it out of context?
I've been talking to this guy for a few months. Even went out to Florida last month, to help care for him after having screws surgically removed from his ankle; which he was ordered to keep elevated for 2 to 3 weeks, Post-Op.
While staying in his apartment, it became very clear to me that he and I are not compatible enough. VERY very close. Soooo close, butno cigar kinda shiznit.
The weird thing is, I truly love and appreciate him. Like I feel so much for him in my heart, but the connection isn't strong enough to make anything. Plus there was zero tantra, so of course that made the whole thing dead in the water (apart from other SERIOUS concerns).
People often confuse "I Love You" with "I'm IN LOVE With You" <<<< this sh*t right here is not cool; drama follows swiftly with that kinda b.s.
It makes me sad, because the other day, I felt him so deeply in my heart and wanted so badly to tell him I love you. However, the backlash once this ends - because it WILL - is so not phukking worth me even saying it.

The one that didn’t get away….
Art and I were in an on-off LDR and when he told me that he would like to visit me in Malaysia, I was skeptical at first but travel he did!
First meeting in person in February 2017. Forget about having had butterflies in my stomach, I had the whole zoo in there!
What people don’t tell you about meeting someone you met online for the first time, is how risky it is. You will meet someone without knowing if that person has a body odor or not. Neither Art nor I have BO, thankfully. Phew!
In fact, he always smells better than I do!
After being married for 2 years now, I finally muster up enough courage to speak up…
You wouldn’t really know the person you meet online until you live with that person for some time.
Snoring. OMGee. You know how irritating to be sleeping next to a person who snores like a pig?
House chores. Imagine your partner just sits around and does not lift a finger to help out with the cleanliness of the house? Unwashed pots, pans, plates, mugs etc..etc…etc in the sink.
Money. All your partner knows is how to spend money by buying frivolous things.
Cooking. Say you’re a fabulous cook, that even the smoke alarm cheers you on, and you have to put up with your partner’s terrible + horrible + miserable cooking. Really?!?
I bet Arty didn’t know what he signed up for …… but it’s too late now coz MiMi is staying put and not going anywhere!
I didn’t know how badly I snore until my son told me. We were at a relative’s house a couple of years ago where he and I had to share a bed. I was sound asleep when he jolted me up from my slumber. “Mommy! I can’t sleep with you sounding like a helicopter landing!!!!”
Art does most of the house chores. If given the chance, he will do it all! So, in order to look ‘useful’, I said to him, “Let me do the laundry and I’ll fold them after they’re done”. He reluctantly agreed and there was one incident where I went out with a friend and when I got back, lo and behold! Laundry done, folded and put away!! I was so furious that I punched the wall! My friend laughed and commented, “You’re the only person that I know that will get mad when her husband does the house work! You’re nuts!!”
Art is a minimalist. Before I moved in with him, his house looked like a showroom. I remember my first haul. It was 2 months after I moved in. His older sister had a yard sale and his younger sister drove me there. I saw something that I like and both sisters looked at me and spoke in chorus, “You think our brother will let you get that?!?!” I winked at them, “What he doesn’t know won’t kill him”
I got home and used the garage door to get in, thinking I would just leave them things there until it was safe to bring them up. Just my luck, he was in the shower. Seizing the chance, I quickly ran down the steps ( yup running even with my bad knees! ) and got my things stashed away in my wardrobe! I was like a thief in the night!!
Over the months, I discovered Goodwill and other thrift stores, much to his horror!! You should’ve have seen his face each time I asked him to drive me there….it’s like he’s given a death sentence.
“You know MiMi, I can always get these things new for you?”
“No, Art. You don’t get it, do you? With the same amount of money I can get much more things at Goodwill! You have always like to see your money stretched, no?” *insert innocent eyes*
Nothing needs to be said about my cooking…I’ve talked enough of Art’s misery in having to eat my cooking already.

online today!
Nairobi, Kenya...
I've always been suspicious when several new members from the same country show up on the same day. That used to happen with women in the Philippines. I learned they didn't have internet access and several would gather at the cafe, pool their money to buy online time and create a bunch of profiles in one session.
Fraud is a bigger part of dating sites with many local scammers, so one doesn't have to travel far to find a fake profile.
Tipping the scale in Connecting Singles this week happens to be an overflow of new profiles from Kenya. Nairobi being the main city listed. In a 24 hour period, I counted 37 female members from Nairobi and 13 from other cities like Mombasa. I suspect the 'energy' creating 50 of these profiles isn't coming from 50 real members. I'd wager it's only one or a small connected (scammer) group.
It's doubtful the average CS user is seeking a mate from Africa, but it casts doubt on every new profile here including the ones that pass as the 'girl next door' with no suspicious details.
Overall, I've noticed more than a few dozen of the profiles I reported that were obvious fakes haven't been deleted. It's been happening a few months now. A few are actively checking in but most are dormant. I think the trick on another site was to change/lock the password so the scammer couldn't get back in and the profile stayed in the listing. The reason for that is membership kept growing. If the moderator deleted al the bogus profiles, half the site would be gone!
