Amazing how nobody likes you, even if you're attractive

Post Reply New Topic

Physically I'm an attractive dude, but it doesnt seem to matter. Women initially talk to me and make comments about my appearence (you're cute, or he's cute to their friend etc.). But...then they notice you act a bit "quirky" and you can see the wheels turn in their heads. "What would my friends think? I can't associate with this guy" is what I imagine they think.

You can look like Tom Cruise, and it won'tr matter if you have AS. Nobody is going to like you.

It amazes me how instead of saying "Wow, he's unique AND handsome, I want to get to know this guy!" they say "Oh...well he's cute but he doesn't act like everyone else. He doesn't act THE SAME WAY like all my other fake friends, so I think I'll pass on him".

People are so predictable, and in a sad way. Despite being physically attractive, and personable in my way, I'll never find a woman to love me. I think that's sad, especialy when you see some of the ugly dudes (inside and out) picking up chicks left and right because they understand the weird "social rules" and I don't. They know when to look away, when to blink, and I don't.

I feel like I don't belong here.

My brother is NT and has the same problem. He's introverted, a good man, but has no "game" and God forbid isn't full of himself...so they check him out, like his looks, but go on a date with him and lose interest because he isn't a douchebag.

How old are you?

As a female aspie I can tell you, it's the same with dudes. Guys check me out, tell me I'm sexy or hot and all that BS..then I open my mouth...
They think I'm easy and cute because I am so child-like. Their chick friends check me out with disdain (I don't dress much a like a NT girl..no make-up, I don't get my hair or nails done etc.) The guy in question will start chatting with his guy friends and I assert myself. I add my intelligent and educated insight and the whole group looks at me like I have 5 heads! Then the male in question will slowley distance himself from me....thank goodness I married a man on the spectrum!! !

I feel your pain though. I am attractive and get told that a lot. You would think the ideal woman would have a great body, pretty face and an incredible intellectual capacity and sense of humor to boot!! Apparently NOT!

What happens when you go on dates with women or hang out with women that find you attractive? Like what do they say?

AS does not prevent you from forming relationships or dating or even just hooking up. Lack of confidence and self esteem do that. Just because we don't 'have game' doesn't mean people won't like you. Some will like you BECAUSE you don't play the usual games. I understand that its more difficult for us to make those kinds of connections (and it is), but blaming your autism and giving up is just using it as an excuse.

I actually have "weirdness" as one of my turn-ons. I can't get interested in normal guys. Maybe you'll meet someone like me, who loves eccentricity and uniqueness. Plus I don't have any friends, so it's a moot point what my friends would think, and I can therefore do all my own thinking for myself.

Not everyone likes the same thing. Aspies can in fact have relationships. We have a whole forum here for love and dating

Personally, I'm a diagnosed aspie in a relationship with an undiagnosed aspie.

Like most things in life, meeting and attracting the right people is in large part a matter of luck; the right place at the right time. But you can improve your chances. Self pity gets you nowhere; people have a sense for that You must like yourself and be comfortable with who and what you are. This may sound like empty and hollow advice, and perhaps it is, since none of this can be taught or explained easily.

If one is to judge me for being socially awkward, I wouldn't want to associate myself with them anyway.
