I really gotta say this idea of "the right type of person for me" is pretty flawed.
We're all so individually different that categorizing which 'kind' of person will click with you is misguided. Any 'kind' of person could conceivably get along marvelously with any other person. Narrowing it down like this is silly, and doesn't help us at all. There is no predicting who you get along with, romantically. So long as they're receptive of your way of life, and vice-versa, love flourishes.

Agree.
Its people who are rigid with types who are the biggest romantic failures.
I don't have a type. There are ideas I think are cool in a man but that really means squat when push comes to shove.

That's why my only requirements for a relationship are that she like me and vice versa. That's really all you need in the end.

Average gamer is around 35 and almost half are women.
A few years back, being a gamer implied a certain type of personality: geek. Nowadays gaming is manistream. Just because someone is a gamer doesn't really tell us anything about them.

Average gamer is not 35. You're saying that gamers range evenly from 0-70 years old.
The average gamer is about 20, as the majority of gamers are between little kids - people in their 40s.
Half are not women either. Probably around a quarter.
I agree with your last statement though. The geek stereotype with gamer died a long time ago. Yeah some people still live up to it, but most are just normal people who game, no more sincere or anything.
Id still fit the "geek gamer" stereotype to be honest.
Tbh neither are aspies.

Um, so basically people with AS should prey on young, naive girls with a martyr complex? That's a bit insulting to be honest, and a really decieitful tactic to take. You are just confirming what the 'Cassandra syndrome' supporters are out to prove; that people with AS are emotional leeches who will suck their partner dry of love and affection.
What happens when this young 'ER nurse' wises up or wants someone who looks out for her too?
To the OP, there is no type of girl that is 'good' for someone with AS. There may be someone out there that is good for you, but nobody can say what she will be like. My strong advice would be to minimise your AS symptoms as much as possible and make a huge effort in demonstrating empathy;.out of all the AS traits, the lack of compassion seems to be the major issue for the NT partners that post here.
Apart from that, just focus on developing your own life and being happy. Happiness and confidence is very attractive to people, and if you are also caring and considerate yourself, you are likely to find someone similar.

Perhaps another Aspie, or at least someone into sci-fi, RPG, video games, etc.
Video games? Do you actually know many video gamers?
Video gamers are often the most nasty, immature, insincere and promiscuous people out there.
Most of my social circle over the past 10 years has been hundereds and thousands of these people. I love many of them to bits, I can say its quite an accurate stereotype.
Ouch Hale, ouch. My gamer pride has been wounded. You must run in some lower age brackets among gamers, because it's rare for me to find nasty, immature, insincere gamers over the age of 20ish. Somewhat immature yes, but that's far more than just gamers that are at that age. Nasty? Not really, I know very few gamers that are "nasty" that aren't ridiculous kids under 17. Insincere, I'm honestly not sure what you mean by that. If you mean not very open, then yes, very few people are open on the internet, gamer or not, because it's really just not that wise an idea. If you mean just flat out liars, then it's still mostly the younger teenagers. Promiscuous... this one I find somewhat odd. Do you mean they like to have sex, talk about sex constantly without getting it, are perverted, or simply open to sex vs prudish? Or some combination of those? Because mostly the ones I see are the ones who like sex and have it a lot because they're open about it, which is around my age level (22). The ones that simply blab about it with every other word are again, the younger teenagers.
This is going off my experience and I've been gaming since I first got a Nintendo in 1993 when I was 6. Started playing online with Warcraft II and Diablo II in '97. I was even one of those annoying, obscene little teenagers for about a year before I realized just how incredibly stupid I sounded from about 10 to 11. Luckily, I mostly played with older people past that point (didn't use my mic and didn't spread my age until I was 17), and it kept me away from those irritants.

"A great numb feeling washes over me as I let go of the past and look forward to the future. Pretend to be a vampire. I don't really need to pretend, because it's who I am, an emotional vampire. I've just come to expect it. Vampires are real. That I was born this way. That I feed off of other people's real emotions. Search for this night's prey. Who will it be?"

Why would I speak to gamers in lower age brackets? I'm nearly 25 years old.
Immature: Its very common amongst gamers to have the 4chan attitude.
Nasty: See above
I think you will find male gamers target female gamers like myself and this nastiness, immaturity, bitchiness etc comes out as they single us out and project it on us. You should try speaking to lots of females who go to male dominated gamer forums.
Stupid 4chan idiots who need to rip others to shreds to make them feel secure about themselves, Tear women to shreds so they feel like big men.
The ONLY place I have ever not been targeted by this treatment is at a forum with a well balanced number of female and male gamers on the website. There are a few idiots still, but the majority of the people at this place are cool.

All I mean with that is gamers are no more or less sincere than non gamers.

I mean they have a lot of sex and talk about it constantly, and often treat women like pieces of meat. Male dominated places again, like highschool boys locker rooms. They don't do this on balanced websites or IRL if its balanced genderwise. Not prudish and promiscuious are two different things.
Even in civilised balanced genderwise gamer communities sex is always the main topic by both genders. Being a member of these and several non gamer communities you can really see the difference.

You're a male though, it sometimes makes all the difference. Their true natures come out when they target the minority at the time (females)
