AS Standards-Likes and dislikes in the opposite sex

Post Reply New Topic

Some of us, myself included, have a tendency to get overly attached to relatively unnecessary traits. Sure, all NT's do too, but with aspies, it's different. More intense.

Instant turn-offs: out of shape (polite way of saying 'fat'), too conservative, religious, ignorant, uneducated, substance abuser (including alcohol and tobacco), bigoted.

That's it. I'd go out with any woman not in the list above.

An NT woman would not go out on a second date with me. No one ever has. I freak them out every time, due to no action or words on my part. It is the whole non-verbal body-language eye-contact thing we are all familiar with.

That said. My dream girl would be a tall athletic woman, with a college degree and a good career, book lover, outdoorsy, prefers a coffee shop over a bar or a club, well versed in science and classical knowledge (history, philosophy etc...) and has never stepped foot into a church/mosque/synagogue/whatever.

I am not too fussy but major turn offs are people that are:
-religious or spiritual
-submissive
-weird smelling (bad or even just an odd smell)

Those things are deal breakers. Then there are kind of the second stage stuff that I look for, which is all fairly typical - average to good looking, funny, intelligent, shared interests. I went through a lot of people to get the almost perfect partner (no one is perfect but I think my partner comes pretty close).

I do not think my list of attractive features is unusual compared to what NTs desire except perhaps I am much more accepting of nerdy people who may not be the best looking.

For some reason I have always liked girls/women who were older than myself. My wife is over four years older compared to me.

I also like:

1) honesty

2) smiles

I dislike:

1) demands

2) yelling

i have no preconception of who i may like.
i love someone if we stimulate each other and we care about preserving each other in safety. if we yearn to return to each others company, and if our thirst for each other is slaked at our reunion, then that is love i believe in.

i am very shallow as far as stuff like this goes so that is all.

I have no type. I've been attracted to all kinds of peope with very different personalities and appearences. The only thing I will not tolerate is abuse. Or a drug habit. I will not sit around and watch somone destroy himself. This goes for friends, too.

Astheticly, I have had a few silly fetishes as far as looks go. I used to sorta like short, pasty guys with big noses...there were a couple I have admired from a distance when I was younger. As an early-teen, I had a crush on Rick Moranis.

I am attracted to unsusal-ness.

When I first met my main partner...I only noticed his physical features just so much as to recognize him when I saw him later...he looks like the Anglo-Saxon representation of Jesus (with a beer gut)
Women might gush over his big blue eyes and long wavy brown hair, but that is certainly not what makes us compatible. He is a big funny--silly obsessive packrat visionary creative man-child..first and foremost.
He is also very patient and tolerant, and a very good driver.

Turnoffs: He can be wreckless and he has lied to me and cheated on me a bit..and has a knack for saying insensitive things.

My other partner is physically beautiful in a very quiet and exotic and unusual sort of way..and it pisses me off when people have said bad things about his physical appearance...he is bald on top and small framed-slender and has funny teeth....with long hair and a beard and glasses... he is like a cross between Mr. Spock and an elf...He was my friend for years before I ever allowed myself to take notice of the beautiful features about him....He is ASish and left-handed and synethetic and vegan and effeminate and has a really strong code of ethics...and all kinds of other stuff...He is a rare and special bird. (who I hyperfixate on )

Turnoffs: He gets testy like a little kid...or humphy...like a female companion who expects you to read her mind....he likes being impossible...and he does not eat enough so I constantly have to worry about his well-being...sometimes he can be impatient and sometimes he can hurt my feelings.

Likes: Sweet, compassionate, understanding, intelligent, funny, random, weird, naughty, realistic, level-headed, low-key, doesn't get pissed off much, long crimson hair, elegant gothic make up and clothes (black eye make up, pale skin, dark lipstick, corsets, black Victorian-era dresses, etc.), similar taste in music and film as me, confident, busty/buxom/well endowed, creative, sensual, seductive, gamer girl, hates Twilight (lol), decisive, masculine in personality but extremely feminine in appearance, talkative, entertaining, considerate...

Dislikes: argues a lot, smokes, religious/spiritual (including anyone who believes in astrology), hates a lot of things I like (so if you like My Chemical Romance and rap and Twilight and American Idol, then we wouldn't work), has or wants kids, lies a lot, into BDSM, does drugs, republican, insecure, inflexible, suicidal, doesn't read or looks down on anything that requires her to do any reading, overly lazy, has borderline personality disorder, is asexual, gets angry easily, immature, indecisive, racist, violent, wears perfume, overly spontaneous and can't stick to a plan, is super busy and has no free time, slu*ty, cheater, plays games, isn't direct, complains ALL the time about EVERYTHING, overly normal, looks down on anything "weird," always wears blue jeans or other normy-wear, short hair, blond hair, NO hair, body hair, tan or dark skin (sorry! I'm not racist, just don't find it attractive in romantic/sexual partners), quiet, crazy, neurotic, drives hella fast, always wants the music up hella loud, cold...

Naturally these are not my expectations, but they're still my likes/dislikes.
