Would you want to date or have a relationship with an NT or a fellow Aspie more? If it matters, for me I am just basically looking for a good person inside, their personality. Someone I can get along with and feel comfortable with. It doesn't matter NT or Aspie.

I probably wouldn't even notice the difference to be honest. lol.
I tend to fall for people who I believe, have a 'good heart'. I've dated men with all sorts of messed up lives and mental and health issues. What attracts me to them is the way that they think. Not even their looks but.. i dunno, their intentions, their dreams, their potential.

Of course that's gotten me into a whole heap of houey so I don't recommend it!

As long as he is ridiculously honest, I don't care. I want to share my whole world with somebody, otherwise I don't see the point.

One poor guy I dated tried to get the address to my job so he could send me flowers, but he was trying to do it on the sly, and we ended up getting into a fight because I told him I didn't want to have any secrets, even if it was meant for a surprise...... I've grown since then though... :lol:

Doesn't matter as long as we get along well

My experiences have been better with people on the spectrum.

The person I'm in a relationship with has a mild case of bipolarism, but she's not an aspie. I think that qualifies her as a non-NT.

I think I'd get on much better with a fellow Aspie, because I don't like an overload of affection, plus he probably wouldn't call me out for lack of eye contact (Which my NT ex did almost obsesively).
I'd also be great at listening to him talk about his special interest, I enjoy listening profusely.

I would agree. Just because someone isn't on the spectrum doesn't make them an NT.

Yeah, interesting enough in some cultures I believe aspergers is the norm.

Nt's everytime. In my experience aspie women are just pure evil and will use the condition as a weapon for being manipulative.

Do you think aspie dudes do the same?

I don't really know what NT's were. I just thought they were people without Aspergers. So my apologies to: Tim_Tex and Shadwell. Learn something new every day.

Thanks everyone for answering.

I don't really have any preference but I seem to get along best with women who have ADHD, BPD or some other condition that's related to the autism spectrum in one way or the other but not part of it. Building up anything stable with a woman like that is incredibly hard, though....

I haven't ever dated Aspie women so I really wouldn't know about them.

I guess I'd go after whoever seemed to be most optimistic and independent since I've got too many personal issues to be the stronger part.

But then again, what would the independant person need me for anyway?

AS catch 21 strikes again, and I'm out. :(

I wanted an aspie so I had one but he was annoying so I thought I shouldn't date another aspie. But then I decided who cares what the person is, just as long as they are not annoying, just as long as they aren't ignorant or narrow minded, and just as long as they aren't lazy and they are respectful and accepts me for who I am, they're good for me.

My husband has aspie traits and we make a great couple. I just can't imagine what life be like if he were at the same level as me :lol:
