I seem to find a lot of the girls with Aspergers quite attractive. I wonder if it is a co-incidence or if Aspies are drawn to one another and if this is healthy genetically / spiritually.. weird topic I know but its got me thinking...

I believe that Asperger's and attractiveness are statistically independent.

That said, I do find some Aspie girls cute - I don't know if there's a relation with the fact that they aren't fashion victims. I also noticed that I'm generally attracted to girls that are quite "masculine" with their clothes or even, sometimes, their appearance or behavior.

Depends entirely on what your definition of "sexy" is. Is it looks, intellect, the aspie quirks, or something else?

Spiritually/emotionally, I'd say finding anyone who understands and accepts you is important.

Genetically... Well some studies show that there MAY BE a higher incidence of full-blown autism from 2 aspie parents, but a LOT more research needs to be done before anyone can say for sure. Here's one link about it.

Meh. Sexy is independent. Sexy is stupid complex. It's a whole crazy blend of life experiences and biological reactions and statistical prevalence and sometimes even traumatic experiences thrown in for added flavor. I personally find a higher level of sexuality in working to find as many types of people and situations sexy as possible. Indirect sexy is the only reason I really wish I was charismatic.

That said, I find poor eye contact and a weirdly directed gaze to be undeniably adorable. >_>

I can see how the “idea” of dating another aspie maybe attractive (since you are less likely to argue over the world if you think in the same way!) but practically its maybe best to focus on the more important characteristics as has been said before? Also maybe you just find the aspie girls ‘attractive/sexy’ because they might not highlight your differences as much Projectile?

“Feeling at ease” with someone is an attractive quality in both NT & AS I suggest…..but interesting topin not the less.

We probably don't flirt so much unless somebody stuffs our heads with stupid ideas, and then the result is usually a joke anyway. So for anybody heavily on the flirty wavelength (most NTs?), we might seem unsexy to them, if they insist on judging things in that narrow way.

But I think we're as humpable as anybody else.

I turn my husband on because of my aspieness? My childish quirks, my "tantrums" he calls it because of my meltdowns, me childlike feelings, it turns him all on he says. He even said me being literal is so cute and has called my honesty cute too. I don't know if those turn him on too. Maybe he has an aspie fetish. :wink:

I think a lot of people go for this childlike thing. Parental instincts and maybe we remind NTs of those carefree days before they put away the things of childhood, I'm sure it can be very refreshing.

I find flirting to be very unattractive. Hmm...
