I'm finding this thread disappointing because it seems like the values I'm seeing here are just as shallow as those of NTs: you want to find a pretty girl, just like the NT guys do. How many of you (who feel that's important) are really good looking guys, in fact? I have seen so many men of all kinds of neurological makeups screw themselves up, over the decades I've been observing such behavior, because they get stuck with this "I've got to pull a babe, or I'll look like I'm settling" kind of crap. When a man grows up enough to start looking beneath the surface, then is when he's more likely to meet a woman who can do the same.
I totally agree with you, it annoys me how some aspie guys think getting a pretty girl will solve all their problems. I had a conversation on MSN where a friend introduced me to his friend. This guy immediately asked to swap photos. I was thinking, "OK, this is a bit soon, but OK"...so when I sent mine, he just replied "No". He was no stunner himself - he looked depressed and ill.
