| The sad truth is that, yes, it is a deal breaker for a lot of people. Maybe even most people. The truth is that people thrive on shared emotional and social experiences, and autism directly interferes with that. It is possible to make a relationship work while autistic, but the fact of the matter i... |

| Whether a man has Aspergers or not is fairly irrelevant to me. Rather him having it might intrigue me to is degree since I do also. There are times when ones Aspergers might create or exacerbate some undesirable traits. But because it would something that would vary person to person, I wouldn't dis... |

| Many women, in my experience, don’t necessarily dig extroverted guys—because they are extroverted themselves, and feel they need an introverted guy as sort of a complement. Pretty neat, I actually feel the same way but the opposite. Introverted guy, believes an extroverted women may be a great comp... |

| Fantastic replies, very informative! So there's basically a "Power Level" that is an aggregate score of attractiveness. The people who told me they only swipe right did say it quite some time ago like I want to say probably 2015/2016 so Tinder might've even been new still. I'm guessing wom... |

| it's a lightweight dating app for phones. I think profiles are like 100 words or less and 1 picture. You make a profile then can try for matches. Swipe right=Interested, swipe left=Not interested. If people swipe right on yours then they show up as interested in you, if you swipe theirs right too th... |

| Since I have no social status, I avoid groups. Unless you are 100% isolated you have some form of social status. I am referring to reputation within social groups moreso than social class(though that can play a role). It's basically what you're known for and what qualities they associate with you. ... |

| Probably not too much, at least for guys PoV. I haven't tried Tinder yet but some friends use it. They told me they just swipe right on everyone without paying actual attention, trying for like a few hundred swipes in a week then just see who responds and then going from there. I assume there's a di... |

| You overthink all this. I know from experience. I used to do the same thing. Then, I said “screw it.” Things got better from there. I pretty much view it as that I look about average. And since almost everyone falls within normal range within average I am probably not too far off the mark. I believ... |

| When asked another way: Is it a conceivable scenario for you to date a man who has Aspergers? Of course it depends on the individual because there can be autistic men who are well suited for their partners, and autistic men who are jerks or not suited for their partners. This of course goes both way... |

| Can a man having Aspergers/High Functioning Autism be a deal breaker or make someone who you'd otherwise consider, become a non-starter? Let's assume proactive efforts are being made by them, with average levels of results since the worst case scenario is not compelling to ask about and the best cas... |

| I'd say it has to do with difficulty reading social situations. Saying "I Love You" is a risky thing. If you say it at the wrong time, it can result in things being very awkward. If you don't say it, there's basically no consequence. I think it's harder for people with ASD to know when it... |

Actually typically you can't. Due to CloudFlare the site always displays as UP even when it's just the CloudFlare errors. |
