Um, I hate to say this but according to that chart most aspie women probably have it equally hard. Specifically; "voices any sort of strong opinion", "expresses any sort of emotional instability", etc. But I digress. in my opinion Aspie women have equally debilitating issues in relationships, those issues just crop up more in a different context.
Like another poster said, Aspie women may find it easier to get a one night stand than aspie men (for obvious reasons), but when it comes to maintaining a long term relationship, well...
I wasn't saying that aspie women don't have problems of thier own. Clearly, maintaining a relationship requires a lot more that attraction, and both men and women fail at it equally. Also, I don't envy how harshly society judges women based on thier personal choices. Guys unfairly get away with a lot more.
I was only saying women have it easier in the early, attraction stages. This opens the door early to more interaction leading to more experience. An awkward guy is likely to have the door slammed in his face within minutes. I've experiencd a long period of nothingness as well as a much shorter period of casual dating, and I learned way more about what it takes to eventually maintain a relationship in that short period. It saddens me to see how many men on here have let years go by without gaining any much needed experience to get where they want to be.
My message was for the guys. And that message was that it's in your best interest make yourself datable and begin dating by any means necessary.
