I like Aspie traits in people and have a very young aspie friend IRL who put it just right. He said "You know, because you and I can actually talk to each other". If I were half my age I'd be all about him. So yeah, I'd go for an AS guy.

Unless they meet doing something AS related, I would think it would be more difficult from looking at normal behavior associated with AS. It sounds like most AS women get seduced by some courageous and socially capable man who can handle a person that isn't as receptive to the ways nt's show interest in each other and can sometimes pull them out of their AS world enough to begin a 2 person relationship. Most AS men aren't likely to be capable of doing all that work. From my experience, I've gotten involved with women who have been pretty blunt about having an interest in me.

I think there is some truth that relationships tend to fall into groups where one partner that is more dominant seeks out a partner who can be controlled more easily and is less likely to stray. AS people by not being socially capable are more often the pursued and more willing to accept a lesser social role compared to the dominant partner.

I don't wish to "date" anyone, but I guess I'd want to date an Aspie if I ever felt the want to date someone.

Chronos:


I will take that analogy and say that if you were to ask a women what is important to a women...the answer would be different from each of them depending on the person.


The moral of your analogy and my explanation:

Everyone is a individual human being with their own dislikes/likes,personality, characteristics, goals ect.

So, it's stupid to make generalizations about different sub-categories :roll: of humans.



:roll: :roll:


It was quite stupid of me to do that before.

Maybe the question I should ask is can AS guys can NT girls? I know I can't...any other guys had luck?

Grab 'em while they're young. An older male Aspie who has been permanently single or has had a few relationships that didn't end well is likely to be an incorrigible prick you'd regret dating.

Two of my brothers have AS-like issues and they're both involved with NT girls. I think they did it by being handsome and by meeting girls who talk enough for the both of them.

Where is there a generalization? I just said you should listen to other people more.

I've also noticed they've gotten rid their bad habits and tend to come across as "nicer." One of them used to break things when he got angry (he had noticeable oral communication issues and I'm guessing it frustrated him when he wasn't able to explain why he was angry through words), and the other one used to never have anything nice to say (and now he's so incredibly patient no matter how stupid someone sounds). So other than having luck in meeting the "right" girl, the only thing you need to do is change your personality and don't come across as a jerk.

Yes (the most straight answer I can give).

In my experience, Highly social women want outgoing men (generally). Introverted women also want highly social men to bring them out of their shells. Heck, many NT men like antisocial women because they are less likely to be unfaithful. There are always exceptions, but the odds are stacked heavily against us.


^ this is very true.
Why aspie girls would date aspie guys while they can get NT guys?

Not so much a separation of NT and Aspie as much as I would never date a man of the jerkass sexist persuasion (yes that includes "Nice Guys"). And I've never met a man with Aspergers who didn't qualify, though they must be out there.

My girlfriend happens to have AS so I say Yes.

However some don't as it is all down to personal taste.

After all I know a few AS guy's who only fancy NT girls, so fair's fair...

So in other terms, you mean that all guys here are jerkass sexists , including me, ToadOfSteel , BigK, superboyian, Hector , I am sure you 'met' all those on this board ....heck , even including Apz.

I've never met you or anyone you mentioned there. Thus you are not included in the assessment. If it was not obvious that "met" meant IRL as opposed to talked to online then that's on me.

I've assumed you meant by "met" as met them online here since it would be impossible for you to meet enough guys with Asperger in order to conclude a such generalization , probably it's a Norwegian thing more than anything else.
