I don't know why this is, but this is definitely me (the woman that no man will date). I think looks are a pretty huge part of it--the same trait in a pretty woman can be seen as acceptable or can be ignored, while in an ugly woman it will be a deal breaker. I don't specifically know any Aspie women, but I think the women with social awkwardness or other "weird" traits who are successful tend to play them up as "cute" or "Oh, silly me!" For instance, I've been told that some guys find shyness cute or sweet. That certainly hasn't been my experience, but maybe if the woman is attractive that can work to her advantage. Honestly, I think looks are the defining factor in most situations.
I agree looks are the deciding factor- for most people. I do not feel looks are as important as character, but who knows.
I have heard the same thing as you; some guys like shyness and find that cute. I have heard guys say they prefer introversion in their partner because they feel like they are less likely to cheat/flirt.
