social circles are more competitive, with more backstabbing and psychological bullying, and plain ignoring you.
About sex - to be honest, I am not physically aroused by men. On the rare occasion I find a male attractive I just think "he's good-looking" and quickly forget about it. I fall in love by intellectual and emotional attraction, but it's the intellect that starts me. I'm not even physically attracted to the guy I'm currently emotionally involved with. Some otakus like effeminate-looking men. I don't, but I find muscular men and athletes repulsive sexually. For hugging - only close friends can hug me, I feel nothing but just appreciate their gesture of friendship.

not all NT's are totally out for handsome and rich guys. (Although many are.) A lot like sweet and funny guys, from what I hear.

But Aspie girls will go for guys who have the same interests, are caring, the clever ones are more likely to look for intelligent guys.

I have never actually met an Aspie guy. But from what I've read here, some seem to have interesting hobbies and are easy to talk to. At least their conversation might have some substance. A disproportionate number fulfil the "nerd" stereotype, compared to the girls who might be mistaken for an NT if this wasn't an Aspie forum.

Handsome and rich? They're the type to use someone and then toss them aside, IMHO.

I think the biggest thing a guy can do to attract a girl is to be confident, which is so easy to say and not easy to do. Listen to what she says, and ask her questions about it to show interest.

Oh really?

Ok then it seems that Aspie girls dun like close contact is that true then what happens in relationships when you gals get intimate. Aspies guys some outgrow that problem they had over touch contact, how about girls?

to be honest, i've never had a physically intimate relationship with any guy, never dated i'm emotionally involved with a guy overseas (i've met him before in person though) and we are emotionally and mentally intimate. We don't say "I love you" but he always tells me to take care and now he tells me I'm perfect when I confided to him my social deficiencies. i'm meeting him in a few months though, so perhaps i will get used to holding hands or the milder stuff. after all i am used to platonic female friends hugging me.

So what the differences and similarities between male and female ASDs? Apart from social ineptness and reproductive organs of course...

This. Many people on WP put NT women down for being superficial, but they vary as much as we do, and when they collectively do act stupid it's because they have low status and self-esteem. Those hotshot guys used to hit on me when I was young, I remember a popstar who walked past me in a club and grabbed my elbow expecting me to follow him. I've always found them repulsive, and many NT women do too.

Tales, people might tell you their personal experiences, but it's not going to be true for everybody else. Everybody is different, including on the women's forum.

You know it's the sour grape thing with Aspie Boys. Imagine being rejected, forsaken by friends and family, and their disability makes them being misunderstood most of the time. So they seek those that can understand them. I, a normal guy, have been rejected 6 times by 6 crushes... But now I can tell how superficial most normal girls are like say 4 of 6 of my crushes had handsome guys and one of them is a rich man's son. I am just a guy in Asia with no looks and little hair and shallow pockets...

I think Aspie Boys are associated with insecurity becos deep down I know that girls look in a guy is security...

I have often been bullied or at least dismissed as weird by most people, but there were usually always a few girls who would be my friend. Often they liked drawing, like me. At least in elementary school. I didn't really reach out socially, but sometimes girls would reach out to me socially and we'd become friends. In college I started the year hypomanic (I'm bipolar) and I was more outgoing and very cheerful and made some similar friends that way (none of us went to parties, they liked quiet activities and just time with a few friends, like me). Most of my friends are long-distance now, but I appreciate them and I have a couple nearby. My mother and my boyfriend/fiance (whom I met through LiveJournal who also lives in the Chicago area, like me) really help me deal with the ups and downs of life. I'm very sensitive and need assistance in a lot of ways. Physical attraction isn't very important to me in whom I date and though I've only dated boys and there's nothing sexual in it, I pay more attention to how other girls look. I am interested, like others have said, in people who share interests with me and prefer quiet activities.

Congrats to you Unico..

I guess you Aspie girls have it better than Aspie guys then? like say you dun get punched or your face in the toilet bowl but I guess is that this is the difference between the sexes? So can I say due to the genders being treated differently or people had different expectations from each gender. Guys gets treated differently from girls? I guess if you are in Asia this will be even more obvious.

Also are there NT guys with no so good intentions like say the stickier topics we touched here? I have heard from some girls that NT girls ending up in the love triangle becos the guy had his way with women and know how to cheat... I wonder if Aspie Girls given their social ineptness of some of you, do you faced such guys before?

Have you girls faced rejection from a guy you liked? Too be frank I know guys can superficial too not just gals but over things like long legs, boobs.etc

Hi! I am Tales' friend and I find this topic interesting.

Tales had helped formed an online group in which I was a member. Our group has only one female member, who is currently not active in our group.

Sometimes I wonder why females look so normal, why can't we spot their 'quirkiness'. I may need to how they 'integration' into the society. On the other hand, are males really over-diagnosed with Asperger's?

Hey there nice to see a familiar face here.

You take a read in the earlier posts. They did mentioned that Aspie girls had their disability less severe it seems. So they might have the symptoms but it's masked by their ability to social better than guys.

Well ...

1) I always had one very close friend throughout school. In college, I didn't have any close friends, just folks I talked to in class. Now as an adult, I don't have any friends. I eventually say something, without meaning, that offends someone. And then I know I hurt them.

2) I rock at *what* I do at work, but not how I do it. I don't know how to deal with difficult people. Have trouble reading people. And generally get made fun of if I take something literally or don't understand someone's using sarcasm. Most of the times I can laugh at myself; other times it is very embarrassing.

3) I hate girly stuff. I do not want to go shopping with other girls. I hate shopping, in fact, because it is very tough to find clothes that I like that fit well and don't itch, etc.

4) I read book after book after book as a child. My favorite is realistic science fiction. I was OK at math, but didn't do well if I didn't like the teacher. I'm pretty smart and come off as conceited sometimes when I'm only trying to help.

5) I hate light touch, can't stand to be tickled, but otherwise enjoy hugs, etc.


ditto to everything.
I would add wrt romance, I'm single and likely to stay that way; I'm not into being touched unles I trust someone, and that generally takes a while with me. I don't know how to flirt, either.

As far as talking goes, I just don't like it. I'm much more communicative in writing/typing than verbally, and more often than not I wish people would just be quiet when they're talking at me (that excludes necessary conversation that pertains to my work or school, or to science topics of interest). In a man, this is somehow seen as, at worst, not unusual; in a woman, not talking and not liking to listen is 'bitchy.'

token girltalk since the subject of relationships with aspie men came up:
I did have a serious e-crush on a guy who used to post here by the screen name of 'Elemental.' He was alway so calm and logical. *sigh...*

Ah... how is your transition from girl to woman. The rebellious years.... For us boys, things can get violent.
