Not liking guys with Autism?

Post Reply New Topic

Can you give me a list of reasons why 'some' women don't like guys with autism?

Nope. As there is no single type of guy with autism.

Have you people really never heard of “googling” for your answers?



6 reasons why men with Asperger's are unattractive as dating partners

1. Lack of social skills

2. Restricted interests

3. Saying rude/inappropriate comments unknowingly

4. Weird sense of humor

5. Lack of emotional maturity

6. Low muscle tone/obesity

The article itself goes into greater detail since it was written by an aspie, and I suggest you all read it.

no, never thought of Googling.

The vast majority of autistic folks don’t have ALL SIX of the qualities stated above. They might have one or two….or none.

I’ve seen many autistic men, for example, who don’t have “low muscle tone.”

1. We're much more likely to be unemployed or underemployed compared to neurotypical men. And since normal functioning women generally want men with good/decent career prospects, this might hurt a lot of men who are disabled and on SSI.

2. Men with autism tend to dislike sports and exercise. People who like to exercise, on average, generally look better than those that never exercise.

3. We're much more likely to live with our parents and not have a drivers license. Once again, this is a disadvantage in the dating game past the age of 22.

4. We're much more likely to be nerds and/or be neckbeards.

5. We're on average less attractive than neurotypical men on average.

6. Low social intelligence and poor social skills

The reasons why autistic men are less attractive than neurotypical men are mostly for reasons within their control.

We tend to be less likely into sports and exercise, which can increase your attractiveness. We tend to be homebody's, and tend to not care or put as much investment into our physical appearance compared to young neurotypical men. And since we're less likely to be employed or work a good job, we can't spend as much money on better food and on gym membership etc...

All of these reasons above are within your control so in theory, if an autistic man put effort into his appearance, his style, exercised on a daily basis, and his diet, he'd be no less attractive than your standard neurotypical man.

As you can see in this video, there are 5 young adult men with autism in the thumbnail. All of them are not that attractive. Like I said, men with autism tend to be less attractive than neurotypical men, on average.

However many of these are factors within their control. If all the boys in the video started working out 3x a week, ate a good diet, got a nice haircut and trimmed it once every 40-50 days, and started wearing better clothes, all of them would become at least average looking. In fact, some of them would be considered good looking if they put some effort in their appearance.
