Well-said.
There's a woman I know that I suspect might be on the spectrum.
I think it really depends upon the severity of it. Those that actually go in to get a diagnosis are at least moderate on that spectrum or possibly even severe. However, there are tons of people that probably would be on the spectrum that are mild/high functioning that otherwise aren't aware, as there never was a need to seek out a professional. It's a strange issue because there are some that are otherwise normal but slightly awkward. Then there are others who are very awkward but would be considered intelligent or maybe even highly so. Then you also have others that are both intellectually and socially handicapped lol.
I myself have a mild high-functioning case. My parents were helicopter parents; that's why they sought to find out from a professional whether I had anything wrong with me. A lot of parents likely never would have taken someone with a case as mild as mine to a professional.
Personally, I believe that mild/high functioning individuals are insanely common and otherwise normal individuals that have some little quirks that set them apart from "normal" people. I think the biggest issue today is that these professionals are over labelling people like this as "on the spectrum" when there's really nothing wrong with them. The issue this causes is that it places these individuals in a little box where they might develop some limitations upon themselves. Stuff like "Well, I'm on the spectrum and will have a hard time making friends" instead of just trying to be a normal person lol.
Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if modern professionals over-diagnose.
I have no idea, but I do think that a lot of these professionals are far too readily throwing around labels than they should be. Autism I think is one but I also think things like ADD/ADHD, bipolar and other issues are up there as well. I think a lot of it is just a means to try to push pills or behavioral therapies, which at the end of the day this is a steady a money making machine.
As for the pills, the professional advised my parents to put me on meds. My parents refused. My parents essentially told the professional "He comes from a loving home. He doesn't need meds. All he needs is for his parents to get the proper guidance on how to cope with his limitations."
A good portion of STEM guys can't get laid either.
Yeah. On an escort forum, I recall an escort from the Bay Area saying she gets a lot of techies as clients (because they can't get laid on their own)
I have actually been both a business and a STEM major. Guys in the business school are typically more sociable individuals, though the STEM guys do actually have some means of getting female attention. Lots of girls with no real career aspirations, but are enrolled on their parent's dime will try to get the "Mrs. Degree." What I mean by this, is that some girls will try to associate themselves with guys who are majoring in fields that make a lot of money. If they successfully hold on to the aspiring engineer/doctor after he graduates, they can fulfill their dreams of being the spoiled housewife, or just get pregnant, leave, and collect those child support checks.
I never saw "Mrs. Degree" type females at the schools I attended. I thought the "Mrs. Degree" type female went away by 1980 at the latest.
Business and social sciences/liberal arts type majors are more sociable and have better social skills in general than STEM majors.
That makes sense. These are guys with income and zero skills with women.
Your posts keep going downhill. Paying for it does not count. If you have to pay then you are still an incel.
It just so happens I know a techie guy who has a girlfriend (And before he had his girlfriend, I had witnessed him flirt with girls. He's surprisingly good for a techie).
Yeah, there's one school of thought that says: If a guy can only get laid by buying sex, he's an escortcel.
There are guys out there who only getting laid by directly paying for it. To use a term with 'cel in it to describe them is not accurate because these guys are not celibate. There would need to be a different term for it.
Brainwashing from the age 5 from movies, tv, music, ads, shows, commercials, environment, family upbringing, family unit, genetics, politicians, musicians, athletes, and celebrities, to mention a few.
Yeah there's overlap there, that same fear of rejection kept me from doing anything even though I had never really been rejected because I never tried anyway. Perhaps even if I had ended up talking to the girl I mentioned earlier on a regular basis the same thing you described might have happened and it wouldn't have gone any further anyway. I'll never know tho
If you go on incel boards or incel definitions then that is the term THEY use.
On an old incel board, it is clear that when you pay someone for sex then they are not willing (ie out of genuine interest) to have sex. The definition is sex with a willing partner. If you pay for it, blackmail, rape, etc... then its no longer willing. There is also the possibility of trafficing, the girl being molested at a young age, etc.... Most.of these women are not normal women that woke up one morning and decided to do that. Since its just impossible to know the history of every escort you deal with, even on that level, its a challenge to really establish willingness.
