Maybe six foot facial hair and gangrenous fingers are status quo where he is from. Sexy is, as sexy does. :P

i think aspie women are the most beautiful wonderess beings....

I have really good aspdar if you like, i gravitate to aspie girls... they are always 1000 times more atraactive to me.... and they vary so much, but are somehow always so pure inside (i dont mean non sexual) i mean unfiltered, honest, extreme, individual, strong, creative, vunerable.... they just make my heart sing. Aspie women are amongst the most precious and rarest of the worlds treasures.

I remeber all my closet friends and crushes growing up were aspie... i remember so fondly my friend Yan, she was so wonderful.. she owuld always blush and make sweet noiese when you were together. she know so much about the world, and she was so loyal and protective.... we were lost in each other for days on end.. was a spritual experince.

i never forget how lucky i am to have meet several incredible aspie women.

I thought that only aspie males have 3 antennas, 2 on the head and the other....

Hmmm... I've never really linked this with AS before. I feel VERY uncomfortable in girly fashion. I don't wear much makeup, because I never really learned how to put it on. I would try it out, but people would notice the difference and I'd be nervous with the attention.


I find this statement interesting as well. I don't wear make up except on special occasions, never dyed my hair either and am a fan of the more androgynous type of clothing. It reminds me of my eating disorder... I so wanted to disappear and not be noticed that I wore baggy clothing, always hid behind my long hair, and starved myself. I can't say that I'm AS or not though.

WOW Those are the same attributes I've been said to possess. Maybe I am AS? I really should go to a therapist in any case. Need to get on that.

There's a thought. I don't know what to do with makeup, nor how to "do" my hair, and most of my clothing is chosen for comfort rather than form. Women's clothing, frankly, looks ridiculous most of the time. At least to me.

Might that be a shared aspie female trait?

Yea i hear from a lot of aspie girls that they dont like women's clothing and they think makeup and all that stuff is stupid.

my brother and I think that stuff is rediculous as well, all i like is cute painted toenails!! !

But aspie guys have the same problems. i like most aspies think fighting and sports to be boring and are shunned because we dont share many of the same interests as the other guys ..NTs.... i like to watch basketball every now and then, but idc much.,

i like studying languages and writing songs

Heh, you sound like my son. He can't stand sports, he loves to write, is very musical, and thinks that fighting is "stoopid", even in self defence.

He also has a somewhat unique sartorial style, which I'm trying to help him tone down so he won't stand out so much at school. When he's taller he should be able to carry it off, but his preferred clothing is all at least fifty years out of date. "But Mum, it's comfortable!"

He's a younger teenager, and is very good looking. He has had problems with girls in the past, when he can't tell if they're joking or coming onto him. He has a female friend his age that he's very fond of who he's scared to say anything to, in case he loses her friendship. He's told me that he doesn't want to "go out" with someone, he wants to meet the right someone, propose, and get married, and not do the dating thing, since he thinks it's "horrible what folks get up to trying to get a girlfriend."

I don't know if he'll still have problems when he's older... he's good at managing his problems. Because he's gentle, and doesn't make nasty comments, quite a few girls are flirty with him, and it makes him panick, since he doesn't know what they want.

His Dad is aspie too, and he was very like my son when we met. (Obviously older.) He took a direct approach. After we'd been up talking all night about various intellectual things, he just flat out asked me, and I surprised my self by flat out saying yes. We were together ten years. If we'd been diagnosed before my son was, then we could have developed some coping strategies, and might have still been together. As it is, we're still friends, and yes, he remarried. (A very intelligent NT woman.)

So there is hope for an aspie male.

How is your husband aspie and Nt at the same time?

My first husband was aspie. We split up after ten years, neither of us knowing what was going on with each other. My second husband was NT. He died a while back.

Oh... I see what you mean. I edited the pos to fix it... when I said "a very intelligent NT", I was referring to my first husband's second wife, not to my first husband.

I think it could be. The four other aspie girls I've met in my life all felt the same way about makeup (disliking makeup I mean), for one of them it was partly because of sensitivity; it felt awful on her skin.

For me, it feels like putting a mask over your natural face, and I don't like that. I like being me. And I often don't see the point of wearing a cake of foundation when your face underneath looks almost the same as with the foundation on. That's what I really don't get. Occasionally I do wear mascara, or coloured eyeshadow/lip gloss if I'm going out somewhere or it's a special occasion or if I just really feel like it. That stuff I don't mind because it's more like decorating your face than masking your face. It's foundation, blush, etc I really don't like.

I actually like makeup. But when I wear it, I like to use it so that it highlights my features, but it doesn't look like I'm wearing much. It wasn't something that came naturally though. I actually took a course on how to apply it properly. My Mum was wise enough to sign me up for that when I was 13 so that I could try to blend in more with NT girls and not look like a hooker if I tried to apply it myself. :lol:
