autistic gals vs autistic guys

Here's an observation I've made from reading/posting on the forum: A lot of autistic gals are, largely, non-sympathetic toward the struggles of autistic guys within the dating realm.
To me it seems to be more of an age thing than a gender thing. A lot of the older members on this forum, regardless of gender, seem to have very little sympathy for younger autistic guys’ dating struggles, while a lot of the younger members, again regardless of gender, seem to be a lot more sympathetic. Of course there are exceptions, like Mona Pereth.

Low social skills+expected to do the chasing=recipe for disaster
I acknowledge there's more to dating than the pursual process though.

This here is exactly why dating poses a challenge for straight autistic guys more than straight autistic gals. Though I do also think part of it us the type of gal many of us are attracted to are a bit more introverted and don’t get out as much.
I know this is anecdotal, but irl I know a lot more autistic gals who are in stable, long-term relationships than autistic guys. And all of the autistic guys I know who are is such relationships are gay, bi in a same-sex relationship, or trans.
