Is Models by Mark Manson basically saying you should act like you have Asperger’s?

Sandvicheater · 2024-10-02T22:35:43+00:00

Asperger speak bluntly and straight without shred of diplomacy or finesse hence why they seem like complete asshole from the getgo.

Mark is preaching about being 100% truthful about your words, thoughts and feelings basically laying it all out there with your nuts out vulnerable to be kicked if the analogy makes sense. Cause you showing your vulnerability is super attractive in a woman compared to all the stone cold emotionless neutral response she gets from other guys on 1st dates.

That being said there's a suave way of express your vulnerable feelings and Asperger regarded way of expressing your feelings.

creamyturtle · 2024-10-02T20:02:43+00:00

yes you should act as regarded as possible, women love that

AnthonyPillarella · 2024-10-02T22:42:01+00:00

I mean, that's pretty much what I do and it works great.

The part you're missing is that you ALSO learn the skill of being direct and honest in a way that's received well. The autism example is an issue of tact, not content.

MrAnonPoster · 2024-10-02T19:57:54+00:00

No, it says you should act like you have options because in your mind you are absolutely convinced you have options. The problem is that it is very difficult for men who know they don't have a pot to piss in or a shit to do that actually occupies their time without raising their dopamine to convince themselves of that as the empty mind, horny mind, and a dopamine fried mind is a bored and wandering mind... and "oh, but if this specific girl likes me i get to finally have sex and boy i want sex with a girl and boy this girl is so fine. I hope she likes me. Damn it, what are the things that i can do to make sure she likes me. Oh my god, what if she does not like me?" thought really fucks up that mind space.

I gave someone a breakdown of what those states are like a few days ago:

canseiDeSerEnganado · 2024-10-03T00:44:47+00:00

Yes. I have autism. I act like I have autism. All good

Thierr · 2024-10-02T20:13:52+00:00

I'm afraid not. It's more about being authentic and respecting your boundaries, but also being emotionally connected and empathetic. This is something very different from being blunt and direct

Electronic_d0cter · 2024-10-03T02:12:08+00:00

Not really he's just saying you should be honest because it builds trust and helps filter out incompatibility. You should still be charismatic just be open, vulnerable and comfortable with the flaws of yourself and the stories you have to tell. Also for the stuff in the book to actually work you need to be an interesting person with good self awareness (which isn't too hard and is much more fulfilling than the alternative methods for getting girls) otherwise you're gonna be trying to get the book to "work" which isn't vulnerable it's performance

models isn't a method to get girls it's a different method of communication entirely, inspired by how eastern European people communicate

Auckland2399 · 2024-10-02T20:01:21+00:00

Words are not the only way that humans communicate! We communicate through body language, eye contact, tone of voice, physical touch, etc. you can be blunt and direct with these things too. You don’t lack social skills, you just lack development in them. I know plenty of women who love men with “autistic” personalities, so you just need to keep talking to girls and find out what works for you, because there isn’t a one size fits all playbook for this kind of stuff

Flowgun · 2024-10-03T05:13:17+00:00

OMG. As someone who does that just because I don't want to sugarcoat stuff, I want to remain true to myself, and I have a dark and twisted sense of humor, it worked well when I used to care about dating and seduction.

the plot twist is that the recent tests I took say that I'm an aspie :s

MrPound4Pound · 2024-10-03T12:53:58+00:00

How credible is this guy the author I mean? I just bought his book too and it's in my backlog at the moment but I remain skeptical of all dating and pickup advice since it's the only field where anybody can just spout a bunch of shit and really you have no way to verify any of this unless you try it for yourself. I mean I can probably write and release my own dating book now without any real credentials besides just trust me bro I get women lol.

NoMoassNeverWas · 2024-10-03T13:06:13+00:00

What does being honest mean? If you like a girl, say "I like you" not play a game where you want to make her unsure if you like her or not.

ProFriendZoner · 2024-10-02T22:18:04+00:00

Da fuq I just read?

BurnItDownSR · 2024-10-03T05:30:24+00:00

I'm glad someone else finally saw it. Models is not a good book to learn seduction from.

Models is entry level at best. It's not the book that you base your whole game on, it's just something you read to get started and then forget about as you move on to bigger and better things.

RecycledMatrix · 2024-10-03T06:10:55+00:00

Not all blunt people are autistic, not all autistic people are blunt.

As an autistic guy with a very high partner count, as core as autism is to your sense of self I know, you're still a person with traits, style, fitness, health, personality, humor to develop.

DeltaKaze · 2024-10-03T03:58:33+00:00

There's a huge difference between being very tactful but still telling your honest opinion vs being very brash and crude which makes you look and feel like an asshole even if you're being honest

Tri2bfit1234 · 2024-10-03T05:52:50+00:00

that’s not at all the message I gathered. What I gathered is to be honest. Dont beat around the bush with people- which is direct and vulnerable.

“Hey I think you a really fun person, do you want to grab coffee sometime?” Something along those lines.

kitterkatty · 2024-10-03T18:27:59+00:00

I do think Abed is the hottest character on Community. So yeah try that sometime :) esp the batman cosplay

Ok_Raisin_9844 · 2024-10-06T20:33:17+00:00

No, at no point it’s about that. Don’t do it.

Also, there is no “acting” as you are autistic (Asperger should no longer be used).

unpleasent-thought · 2024-11-12T14:29:17+00:00

I don't think so

m4tchb0x · 2024-10-02T20:08:25+00:00

I think since it says, just be your true self. And since you have Asperger's your taking that as just act like you have Asperger's.

Rooty-Root · 2024-10-03T07:41:47+00:00

Yep. That's exactly what it's saying. Talk about nothing but Sonic the Hedgehog during your date

NegativeCoach7457 · 2024-10-03T00:44:11+00:00

You know what, fuck it. Yes, go Sperg out with these women. If you think that's what he meant, then you deserve your failure.

SavagishlySleepy · 2024-10-03T04:09:04+00:00

So…. Talk about things you love nonstop and be oblivious to people making fun of how you know so much about the tiniest details of something with the biggest retard smile on your face?

So…. Talk to women like you’re not hunting them like animals and have a legitimate non sexual conversation so they can see who you are as a person?

So…. Be nice but maintain boundaries because you don’t want to make people feel uncomfortable but also value your level of comfort with people?

LOL FUCK. THAT. I ain’t no retard haha LOL where the sluts at?!?!
