Questioning if I understand the consequences of my actions

[Slim Jim]

So maybe you are in line, you see a bug on a lady's back, your first impulse is to brush it off. Nope,-----

Right. That would be wrong, though. (That Bug might not appreciate the unsolicited physical contact.)

Yes, You are right about cultural differences.

I don't agree that autistic people are more likely to commit crimes, more likely to commit certain sexual crimes, or more likely to be violent, unless someone can show statistics proving these things. The issue of consent is a big one for all people in this current age.

The problem is that there are petty crimes to serious crimes.

Lack of understanding social boundaries can highten the risk for behaviors that may seem as criminal to others.

Just remember this bit of etiquette and it should serve you well in all areas of communication with women:

When introduced to a lady, a gentleman never extends his hand for a handshake. He keeps his arms to his sides unless the lady decides to extend her hand for the handshake.

It is improper for a man to ever presume to touch a lady without her prior consent.

I will follow this advice while interacting with men as well, because I am not that good at reading some body language. That's why I ask permission first.

I find handshaking , somewhat of an alien ritual, I'm not inclined to go shake people's hands.

But, if somebody offers to shake hands, I feel obliged and almost always do.


Oh and the 'elbow bump' thing. That threw me off. I've ignored people with that. I don't do that. I'll shake your hand. Or I won't. But I'm not doing no elbow bump crap. Sorry. My unpredictable idiosyncrasies.
