This guy from the tv show the undatables had loads of offers from women for sex and dating etc

So maybe the issue that many aspies face in dating isn’t always down to there condition but more to do with there looks?

I'm living proof that looks aren't that important. I'm average looking at best and have been married twice.

Someone commented that if that guy on the tv show wasn’t as good looking that women would run a mile.

Perhaps you got lucky *once*. ;)

I still firmly believe most relationships are more than a little superficial.
All you have to do is use your observational skills and you will see that overwhelmingly, most couples find partners in their own physical league.
I can't see a logical reason why this shouldn't be the case. ;)

Character and being a provider is important, but in most situations, people can have all three. 8)

Yes if he wasn't physically attractive no one would care.

Not saying he's not struggling, but someone average with his same condition would not have attention at all; there's the bad and there's the worse.

Yes, this is very true; especially when it comes to weight and height.

According to study:
Quote:
Couples who spark a romantic relationship shortly after meeting are most likely to match in physical attractiveness; however, when people get to know each other well over an extended period of time before dating, it’s not unusual to see greater disparity in their physical appeal.


The latter scenario is rare.

I restrained brutal honesty, but Boo Boo my friend, you have broken that restraint. 8O
I totally agree with you.

There are other considerations, such as celebrity and wealth, though. ;)
"It's a numbers game", after all. :mrgreen:

I totally agree.
Most relationships are based on superficial considerations,
But there are rare exceptions. 8)

I lost touch with her immediately after we split. The break up was entirely my fault as I was an alcoholic and drug addict at the time. She thought she could change me. :roll:
