The Average Man

When it comes to dating, most people are average at best

It’s ok since most don’t need to be great, most don’t want to be great

There is an unrealistic expectation when it comes to dating. People who claim they won’t date those who are average are average themselves. They forgot 99% of the population are regular folks

There aren’t as many geniuses out there and even then they tend to hide it. The smarter one is, the more humble he or she is

Wish more people can realize this and understand that average is the norm, extraordinary is the outlier. Stop trying to aim at the stars, rather look at what’s in front of you
 
Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses so perhaps that works out to average for most people. Technology is wrecked dating to a large degree since people see profiles that convey perfection, but may be out of their reach or if they meet up they realize the individual has weaknesses just like everyone else.

In terms of us on the spectrum, we have unique challenges when it comes to dating. Communication is a big challenge and we are often simply misunderstood which is not beneficial in developing a relationship. I personally find it really difficult to find others who value their hobbies and personal time as much as I do which makes things more difficult in terms of dating. Most people tend to care about socializing, whether with friends or just random people, and are less interested in hobbies.
