In my case, I look many years younger and yes, what people see as attractive are more the sorts of things one looks for in females... I'm not the supposedly favoured tall, dark handsome type with a very masculine face at all, I suppose the word "pretty" could be used and I've heard "beautiful" also. A while back I was criticised for commenting (or should I say lamenting) that I seemed to appeal more to men, including straight men by the way, than apparently to women (though it may be in part a function of women being more passive about such things) but I see it as perhaps related to the way in which I am considered to be attractive, more so to males and what they look for than to females.
As for this theory, I don't know really, I'm just describing my particular case.
Pretty much the same here.
I'm male, but have a somewhat androgynous appearance, or so I've been told many times. I get words like "pretty" and "beautiful" alot. Like, all the freaking time. And I do seem to mostly attract other males, rather than females.
Wether or not that's related to autism in any way, I have no idea, but..... that's how it is for me.
