There's ugly mofos out there who can get a girlfriend, yes even an attractive girlfriend. They just have something that most guys don't have. A s**t load of confidence and kick-ass social skills around women. Sometimes simply not being afraid to talk to the girl you like and being the friendly charming guy you're pretending to be is enough to impress her.

It's no secret formula.

Definitely true, and something I always try to explain. The sad fact is you can be an attractive, intelligent and interesting aspie guy. Very eligible and you'll ALWAYS be at a disadvantage compared to NT guys even those extremely unattractive and stupid NTs solely because of the social skills problem.

When it comes down to it, that's pretty much all many woman look at.


No, see, that I don't buy. Attractive people will always have an advantage over unattractive. Like I've said before, the main problem of most guys here isn't that they have Aspergers, it's that they're physically unattractive. Aspergers just compounds that problem.

If I was given the choice between being a physically-attractive Aspie and an unattractive NT, I'd go for the former. In a heartbeat.


So I'm ugly too on top of this disability? I guess I really was cursed at birth. Thanks for making us feel better.


I don't know, are you? Look, I'll be honest, if were highly-attractive, you probably wouldn't be suffering all that much due to your Aspergers. I don't know if this makes you feel better, but ugly people will always suffer no matter what. Regardless of whether they're Aspies or NTs.


I think you have this around the wrong way. By your logic, Aspies are far more prone to being dealt ugly genetics than NTs. Percentage wise, I'd argue there are far more Aspie guys who reach higher ages without romantic success than there are NTs. Physical attractiveness isn't all about your body and facial features. The reason Aspies aren't successful in love is because of shortcomings in physicality, body language and social skills.

Sure, your genetic make-up will play its role, but the way you carry yourself and interact with others will always have a MASSIVE impact on your attractiveness, just as your style, hygiene and attitude will too.

The common denominator here between Aspies, is Asperger's Syndrome, so putting two and two together, it's easy to see that Asperger's Syndrome is more to blame for romantic shortcomings than physical features.


I partly agree, sir.

But what I also want to bring up is how some people can find a relationship even if they have what is generally considered by society to be less than attractive qualities. Physically and personality-wise.

We see some aspies here that are confident, social, outgoing, good social skills, hygiene, well-educated and decent looking, independent, etc. and yet they can't find relationships (case in point: Ecomatt).

I am considered by many others I know to be a very confident and social aspie with good social skills. I'm considered funny by my peers and always trying to meet people and make new friends. I'm not ugly at all, consider myself a 6.5 and gotten anywhere from 6 to 7.5 from others. 5ft9'' and I workout so my body looks decent.

But still definitely not satisfied with my social life. I still have too few friends and have a hard time getting a girlfriend and finding love.

Now, I am just a teenager, which relates to what my argument will be.

And that is I have found that maybe the majority of people in a society/culture also just have 'poor taste', in that they desire qualities that in any reasonable minded person's opinion shouldn't be considered attractive.

Now, everyone has different taste and it's very rude to judge others for their tastes, but I think you know what i mean.

This is especially true in high school, where naive teenagers might have 'immature' tastes in that they are shallow and only care about looks, and place things like popularity and perceived 'coolness' over traits that really 'should' be appreciated such as kindness, honesty, compassion, etc.

But I definitely think in my humble opinion this can carry on into adulthood.

It's just strange how many people who are rude, poorly behaved, smart-alecs, poorly hygiened, etc. can still find it effortless to make friends and relationships while those of us who might only be slightly awkward but still trying find it difficult.

I'm not trying to be one of those victimizing, 'it's all society's fault' types. I'd say our inability to get along with others is partly influenced by both.

Society's social rules, expectations and conformity which means those that might be different in a good way are still looked down on and shunned by the majority, and the certain behaviors that most of us can agree that even aspies should adapt to fit into their world and society.


Looks and appearance will always be factored in first because it's impossible to know somebody's personality simply by looking at them. There are a few reasons teens in particular are more interested in appearance than anything else, and that's because their values, preferences, attitudes, etc are still developing. Heck, I'm 19 and I'm still developing in all those areas. My point is particularly as younger teenagers, girls and guys don't know what they want in terms of values, and are still very early on into developing their own views and beliefs.

As for your point about rude smart alecs, girls and young women tend to be more drawn to those types because they radiate confidence and personality, and only attractive and confident people can generally get away with it. If you're ugly or awkward and you try to be rude to somebody less ugly or awkward than you, chances are you'll be shut down and put in your place quick-smart.

Looks are maybe important in early teen dating maybe, enough girls seemed to like me clueless as I was but as you get older there are more social expectations and responsibilities as an adult that I just wasn't able to meet. I do wish I could go back to when I was younger, I know hindsight is 20/20 but things could of gone so different if it wasn't for the onset of anxiety and if I ever had any confidence. I think about it sometimes, did I make an impact on anybody's life? Does anybody remember me? Or was I just invisible? I dunno. I think about a lot of people I knew in the past but I just feel like nobody thinks of me.

You have a giant chip on your shoulder, a gross sense of over-entitlement and a belief that girls are objects to be acquired and shown off (rather than human beings to love).

You're delusional enough to think that random girls acknowledging your existence on occasion by smiling or making chit-chat in the Kroger line all want your body because you're so hot.

You have literally nothing to offer a girl (not fun, not interesting, not adventurous, no social skills to speak of).

I hear you, man. Back in seventh grade, there was this fat girl who basically wanted me to go and bang her in the bathroom. Unfortunately, she didn't word her proposition quite so directly, and I was too thick to understand that's what she was actually telling me. I thought she was just making fun of me, like most of the kids at school did at the time. It was the first and only serious sex offer I've had to this day. Well, at least from a woman... :roll:

Hindsight really is 20/20.

According to few studies, the majority don't.

Really? Can I see? I see a good number of men with partners here, some are even playboys it seems.
Btw the fact that a good number has partners seems to indicate that there are other factors too. I think personality in this case in very important.

Somehow, I find the 8 out of 10 figure too high.

I'm no playboy--but I've gotten my share over the years.

When I was in my early 20s, though, there were wide gaps between girls.
