This is your AS talking.
NT women are no more gullible than that average aspie. The difference is that they are thinking differently, which I thought was painfully obvious already on a site dedicated to AS.
You have an awful lot of opinions, DataSage, so naturally I'm wondering what you're basing them on. Now I understand you see yourself as God's gift to women, but I was hoping you could humor the agnostics in the crowd. I look at your advice, and first it presumes a vapid, bar-hopping lifestyle, which isn't exactly the norm among aspies. Second, it assumes your blatant smooth act is the most effective strategy for attracting bar-hopping women. Now maybe some women do go for all this, but then again there's no accounting for taste. After all, somebody has got to be buying all those Britney Spears and 'NSync CDs too.
For aspie guys to attract women, all they really need to do is take care of themselves and then go for the women who interest them. With enough practice, fear and awkwardness will be overcome. By the way, if a guy wants to be really nice to the woman he likes, so be it. I know some women have neuroses of self-doubt that make this initially ineffective, but healthy people enjoy treating the people they love exceptionally well.
and how does one "go for the women who interest them" if they get dismissed out of hand before it really begins because they have no idea about initial contact, NT mind processes in that situation, body language, NT selection criteria etc...
For all intents and purposes I have a wonderful personality. I am financially successful, steady job, I can dance (ballroom, and swing), love to cook, have an extensive wine collection, quite intelligent, and have a good natured humour (still don't understand that cocky funny though). Tall, reasonable looking (not great but not ugly), and enjoy a wide range of outdoor (and indoor activities.) Eclectic music and art tastes. Have a pretty average fashion sense but I'm not a dork. I am by no means shy and woulnd't think anything of talking to a complete stranger. Most instances I don't really care for it because of the typical AS reasons, but I don't mind the prospect as far as nerves go.
So I don't really have any fear, and I don't think awkwardness is my problem (maybe my blinking tick and my finger stims, but not verbal awkwardness) You'd think it'd be pretty easy to get a date? Nope, don't think so.
So before all you people pick on DataSage for stuff he hasn't even said... could you allow us aspies who actually read the original post and can see some value in it read and debate it's ACTUAL deficiencies and merits?
