Physically, very much so. Mentally, I haven't known anyone well enough, mostly it stops at physical attraction as I rarely bother to get to know someone.
Not that the physical aspect ever gets fully explored.

With me, the most important part of a woman is the mind and personality-if I fall in love with that, I automaticly find the girl beautiful. Inner beauty leads to outer beauty for me.

Ok i'll answer both questions.

Am I attracted to many people ? No.

Do I see many people as attractive: Men: Not really Women: About 50% of the women I see I would consider attractive.

I find romance and dating all too daunting. I also find Internet Dating just difficult and feel the best thing to do is to continue living life as best I can.

I recently started a thread related to this (although perhaps your topic name was clearer - mine engendered too much confusion) - and found many people are in the same boat as you and myself. Interestingly enough, there is a disproportionate amount of AS women to AS men who seem to experience this (a.k.a. most of the aspies who feel they are seldom attracted to other people are female).

I have in previous years but not lately.Dating via websites are the best way to communicate but most of their profiles are used for just to exceed social expectations.

must... resist... the... obvious... suggestion... that... you... may... want... to... switch... teams....

only teasing! though i think they could use a good shortstop, finding people attractive is kinda different from wanting to get dirty with them, it seems like. it's neat that you find more women than men visually attractive though. are most of your friends male or female?

that's cool!
do you honestly find women look more attractive than guys? but, but, but... men are furrier! and, and, and... men have bigger bones! and men's veins stick out on their hands. and their skin is rougher! and their noses are bigger!

girls are just so delicate and plain and smooth.

there is the odd girl i find really attractive, and i have had girl-crushes and other experiences... but for me women pale compared to men!

Yeh.. they're so much prettier, and look nice (usually) regardless of bodyfat... but guys... dunno just don't find them that attractive, theres a few who look nice, but not too many (although do generally prefer em w/ some stubble, dunno why)...

Dunno, personality wise generally prefer guys, looks wise... I don't really care, but girls are definitely a lot nicer to look at haha

and none of the things you listed sounded.... good... to me XD
