[quote="Ravenclawgurl"]are there any other trustworthy dating sites for aspies ive seen a few bvut i dont know wether to trust them[/quote

PlentyOfFish.com and OkCupid.com are pretty good If you are 18+. OKCupid has a ton of match questions you can answer either privately or publicly. It's pretty amusing to think about yourself and what you want in a potential partner.

I just signed up on Aspie Affection last night. I just left my email and SN so I could forget about it. I did see a girl that interested me in my area so I went all creeper status and found her on FB. She messaged back, I'll see how it goes.

How were you able to register an account & search profiles :?: I chcke3d just now to see if I could create a new account & I got a code page when I tried to register & I got a code page when i tried to search as well. It is literally COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE for me to use that site in anyway whatsoever

I'm honestly not sure. I just clicked register and everything went through. However I cannot search local matches or do much of anything other than search through all of the people on there. Honestly you aren't missing much. There are less than ten girls on there that were active in the last month.

Yeah, location would be the minimum I'd need to sort by. Well, location and gender. (Actually a separate system for friends would be fine too.)

Well, I am still waiting you to pick me.

I am not staying on the shelf for too long, there are a lot of hungry girls roaming around WP lately, you know.

I second this. By today's standards, Marilyn would be considered fat. Anyone who considers Marilyn fat should be publicly silly-slapped, IMHO.

Aspie Affection is perpetually plagued with technical bugs. To make matters worse, many of the women's profiles on it look like fakes/scammers. (I have never looked at the men's, so I do not know if they are any better.)

In general, searching for a romantic partner who is also on the autism spectrum is very difficult because people on the autism spectrum make up a small minority of the general population (roughly 1%; a recent study suggested about 1 in 50 males and 1 in 300 females). If you then start to narrow things down by demographic characteristics (e.g. acceptable age range, religion, etc.) and geographical location, there may be no one left. To make matter worse, the nature of autism spectrum disorders tends to make dating difficult (e.g. because of problems with executive function, or co-morbid disorders such anxiety, depression, etc.). In addition, some people on the spectrum may be reluctant to initiate contact, and may give up easily, because of personality characteristics (e.g. introversion, shyness, etc.) and/or previous negative experiences (e.g. frequent rejection, unhealthy relationships, etc.). I know that I find just using a dating website to be very stressful. :roll:

Anyway, these old posts may be of some limited interest:

Hm, this is very strange. I don't mean you per se, just the fact that a lot of the people visiting my profile on okcupide are from you area 8O . Just a bit too far away I'm afraid!

Ahh, that means you're more likely to be my type then (i guess?).

People can travel and move, you know.

Yes they can and I just did, to see someone from wp actually. He left me standing at the airport and didn't answer my texts for two days. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon!
But if you have a profile on Okcupid I'll take a look.

It would probably be easer to delete everything relating to AspieEffection and start over from scratch, then to untangle the mess of glitches, and dead accounts that that site has become.
