I grew up attending an all-male school and today, my social circle does not feature women. So, in a sense, I don't really know how women think or feel. So, anything marriage-related, whether it be finding a mate, dating, proposing, marital dynamics, finances, long term planning, commitment, work-life balance, or anything else, that women think men could better take female perspectives into account, you can present your thoughts and ideas on what to keep in mind. Cheers.

@PeerKristijan the more I thought about this post, the more it makes sense that you might be Autistic. My son is.

I always notice my son seems to get on really well with other people who are ADHD or Autistic. It seems that life is just so much easier being with people who have a higher chance of getting you. Although of course everyone is different aren't they.

I also know it can feel very patronising to some people to be told ' oh you're Autistic '. I think it might be great for you to explore and consider this possibility. If you really feel you are then you are - even without a diagnosis. Although a diagnosis might help in other areas of your life.

As all posters have said - all women are different. All humans are different. If you are Autistic, my big concerns would be that you attract some one who would take advantage of you and try exploit you. That would be the first thing I'd worry about.

Try get yourself out there meeting ladies who have similar interests to you. What do you like? What do you enjoy? What do you want from life? You use these things to help guide you 🙏

"...my big concerns would be that you attract some one who would take advantage of you and try exploit you."

Elaborate, please.
