Male-Pattern Autism

A condition that nearly every man suffers. It's noticeable when a guy gets sucked into one of his male behaviors that he channels his inner autist. A good example is when a guy will spending hours making strategy spreadsheets for his favorite game instead of talking to his hot girlfriend. He might also join a philosophy debate group and spend his Saturday nights talking to them instead of his hot girlfriend. You see where this is going.

Jim: "Dr. Fischer, then she said I loved the game more than her."

Dr. Fischer: "I'm seeing a pattern here. I think you may have male-pattern autism."
