Are Aspies more attractive than their NT counterparts are?

I'm going to have to say no. Deffinately not.

In my experience, there is a mix of attractive and unattractive aspies, just as there are NT's.

I definitely say that we look younger than our age and it is probably because we use our facial muscles less. Someone mistook me for 30 the other day.

I think I have a generally pleasant appearance, and I'm an aspie.

I guess we're more attractive just because we're more awesome in general!

yes, i've got that too and that's what can make them find us interesting at first. and when you have a nice appearance too, people tend to fall in love with you pretty easily, specially over the internet. which is unpleasant because i can't respond to those feelings.


it's not so difficult to be nice and lean at the age of 16 although i am 29 and i am the leanest person i know.

I think aspies sometimes can have very tense and neurotic facial expressions. I had a few lip enlargements to make my face look "softer" and my mouth generally more relaxed. I also had my forehead stretched up a bit to elevate the eyebrows and lift some of the tension around the eyes. In addition to this I made the nose softer by transplanting material from my ear. The overall impression is a much softer, smoother and more "attractive" face. The tension around the mouth and eyes look good now with the more rich/full features. I still have very sharp eyes and overall impression but it's attractive now rather than just disturbing/neurotic.

To be honest I think my "aspieness" is one reason for why I had surgery. I always thought I looked so tense and aspie on photos. The surgery vastly improved it.

Other than this, I scrub my face every day, wash it and use a face protector. I use the Body Shop for Men Maca Root series. They are really good but moderately pricy. It's important to scrub every morning before shaving, in my oppinion, because it only takes a day for dead skin cells to start gathering and clumping together again even if you don't see it or feel it. Doing this every day will make the skin much smoother over time and it stimulates blood flow.

I also have a training routine where I do 50-60 pushups + 50-75 situps and a few toe lifts every other day and the days between that I do 40 "scorpion" lifts (flat on the stomach lift the legs upwards while keeping them straight) for the lower back, as well as some weight lifting for the shoulders. Just around 10 heavy lifts with straight arms.

I avoid all sugar, coffee and fast carbs in my food, drink a lot of high antioxidant tea (green, red) as well as some occasional black tea, eat lots of fruits and vegetables every day and have a lot of slow carbs, proteine and healthy fats in my food.

Lol okay Patrick.

Depends on your definition of attractive. Now, here's an example: a sexy-lookin' single mom says "why won't any decent guy go after me?" Gee, here's a thought:

You were loose as hell, and got knocked up by random guy. that doesn't show a lot of intelligence, or restraint. Comes off as quite trashy too.

there's your answer.

Um....aroo?

I'm sorry, please do elaborate; I'm not a single mom, no; I'm a straight male in his late '20s, in a relationship.

Nice myth that one.

ASD folke can be extremely physically attractive and fugly, just like the NT population.

People told me to watch that movie for years, because they thought the guy in it was a parody of me, or maybe me one of him. Anyway, when I watched it I actually had the self distance to laugh when I recognized some of my own monologues almost word by word. I didn't feel as "original" anymore when I realized someone ten years ago or more had created a character who was a parodical metaphor for modern vanity. At least I could laugh at it.

of course, waste of time bringing it up. the question is about the ratios. is it more typical for AS population than the NT one?

Um...could be? You could make the case that we are less likely to care about our looks than the general population, but maybe some people find that look attractive?

Maybe we should spread the rumor that Aspies are good in bed?

Good idea!

And kill the only remaining feeling of superiority that NTs think they have? You so cruuuuuuuuuel!! !! !! !! !! !!
