Don't you think that it might be better for you...

Persevere, my friend.

Like any thing elts in a relationship two very different people can work other times two very similar people can work. There are no hard and fast rules to human relation ships just vague generalities.

young_god (interesting username, btw), why are you asking us? Very fishy post. If it (quote) "matters not a jot" to you, then why are you asking us if we are m. or f? Instead of participating, you're just asking weird questions.

Oh dear, a moderator that doesn't support neurodiversity? You need to stop living in the mindset of NT and AS.

What does physical attraction have to do with a neurological state? The two have no correlation and you shouldn't be so quick to place people into two boxes, it's narrow minded and rigid. People on the spectrum are individuals and I think you are quite confused if you consider anyone on this forum a brother or sister as everyone has different values, physical traits, perspectives, views, beliefs and abilities defined by social conditioning or upbringing.

I refuse to date aspie men. Every single one I've met we're more low functioning than me and completely blind to other people's feelings. I know a woman who's husband is an aspie and like all the women I know who are in a couple with a male aspie, she is a very unhappy person. When she cries, all he says is: "there is water coming out of your eyes, but I don't know why"
I'm very sensitive with depressive tendencies and being with someone so blind to my feelings would be the end of me.
An aspie man dating an aspie woman imo is like the blind leading the blind.

The relationship that worked best for me was one in which he wasn't NT, but he wasn't aspie either, he was BAP.

Since you are asking for gender, I am a girl, by the way.

answer the OP.

I don't know. Your question is worded in a way that implies this experience has never been had.
I have gone out with plenty of city NT girls, I can tell you that it doesn't work for me, especially when from the UK or US.
There are a lot of expectations, lack of compromises and understanding on their part about men (expecting each to be the same, then complaining when they are not). This is more true with an Asperger's male. Some problems I have found:
*They think physical intimacy must lead to sex and think there is a problem with your anatomy or her if you do not want to "go there" simply for want of some minor physical intimacy.
*I've been expected to read minds. I've had varying success at this.
*An expectation of me to keep up with the guys their friends are dating.
*Lifestyle choices wishes of me that are out of my comfort zone or long term capability.
*And any that have accepted me regardless of the above have been as thick as 2 sheets of wood.

It's not without trying. And there is nothing particularly wrong with their expectations, if you were an NT city boy. But for all intents and purposes I'm an Aspie in the city and with that realization I am now tired of trying to play the NT game. I'm happier being single or waiting it out for someone who on a personal level can relate to me better.

Yet they are all autistic to some degree.

This book explains the differences between the NT and AS neurology, and gives an idea why it is and will always be usually hard for the AS people to "succeed" or fluently communicate in the Neurotypical world due to the inherent neurological differences and their effects on the social life. I'd give up meeting NTs completely if it wasn't so hard to find AS groups in these more remote areas.

For me personally, my only fulfilling relationship was with another Aspie. I have not had luck with NTs and right now don't really want to try with an NT ever again. This way of thinking only came from my experience, not a preconceived bias. I recognize that different things work for different people and would neverr discourage another Aspie from dating a NT individual they liked.

G.

for me, it doesn't matter about the person's neurology to any degree like that. people are all over the map with their issues and strengths, whether they are NT or AS or other.

OH I am sorry I missed your answer.
You hit all the right spots.

I was not looking for a relationship, but you are amazing.
You give me faith.

I think you are the best.


I really like you!

Ok, I shall go back to the woodshed. Sorry for being so ignorant. I think I've been beaten down enough.

Let me go away and lick my wounds, and when I learn a bit more, maybe I shall ask a more intelligent question.

Hi, young_god. I think you took my answer a bit too personally and there isn't a need to make me look like the bad guy beating down on a hapless victim.
