I have tried and tried to meet people that I could connect with, but no such person exists.

My criteria for a potential girlfriend is:

1. She is an Aspie
2. She lives within 50 miles of Boise, ID, or is willing to do a long-distance relationship
3. She has the same interests as me
4. She is height-weight proportionate (meaning she is skinny and has an ample chest)
5. She has liberal views toward sex (meaning she is not waiting until marriage).

Criteria #2 aside, I have only come across two people who met all of the other criteria--one of them was not willing to do a long-distance relationship, and the other one was only 17 years old (in the U.S., the age of consent is 18).

If I add criteria #2, stating she must either live near Boise, or do a long-distance relationship, then my chances of meeting anyone is zero.

I give up.

Rightly so, you have impossible prejudices... those aren't standards, they are mostly prejudices, you should just date as many women as possible and try to discover new things about them and youself. A big problem with aspie guys is they get so locked in their ego centric mindset they forget theirs a whole world out there they REALLY haven't EXPERIENCED, because they think "they know it" already. Which is BS, because I've had the experience that blew away that kind of thinking.

to blatantly state what you do or don't want is another matter entirely.

Eg: "I am this, I'm not that; I want this, I don't want that...............come get me girls"
(for the record, I've seen a number of women singles doing this also)

I am sure that there are people that have "must haves" or "can't haves" that are more ridiculous than what I have posted on here. For example, just the other day, I saw a 19-year-old who would only date guys her age who had post-graduate degrees.

Who gets a post-graduate degree at 19 anyway?

Back to my situation. Except for the part about being an Aspie, all the other characteristics are very easy to spot in someone. Chances are if she dresses in whatever fashion the left-leaning, pseudo-hippies are wearing, then the similar interests (which, by the way, are animated comedies such as the Simpsons, South Park, and the Adult Swim shows) and the not-waiting-until-marriage views on sex will probably be present in that person. But a possible mate being an Aspie is very important, because that's how I know that she won't play mind games with me.

This means that I am not safe with anyone now.

And there are some people out there that have killed seven or more people. That doesn't make it ok for you to kill one. (Extreme example, but seriously. Stating someone else does more of whatever than you is useless as an argument towards your doing whatever.)

And, no, you are not safe with anyone. That's where 'getting to know someone and gradually deciding how much to trust them' comes into it.

I can only date another Aspie. I gave up going to school in Hawaii partly because of the lack of Aspie women there, and I might give up Boise for the same reason.

i thought girls in hawaii were more open to dating aspies...

Good GRIEF man! Turn off your computer and go outside! :arrow:

Don't believe all the hype that you're actually going to find "companionship" online! I, personally, have signed up on different sites (match.com :heart:

, yahoo personals :heart:

, aspieaffection :heart:

, etc.) just to "see" who's out there and who's looking. Sure, I've met people...gone to dinner...coffee...what have you...but if you're looking for an "Aspie", approximately 1 in 500 people has it...

no its 1 in 150
