is it true that pretty people are more choosy ?

I think that may be true, that people with AS will be more choosy over certain things. Because I think some of us will have some very specific things that we could absolutely not stand, or that we are absolutely obsessed with. Things that would be no big deal to the majority of other people.

Like chewing gum.
I would put a ban on gum in any relationship I was in.

I am this way with smoking. I will *absolutely* not date a person who smokes.

I think it's a fact that pretty people are more choosy because they have a bigger range of potential lovers.
They can select to their taste instead of just 'taking what they -can- get'.

I certainly feel that way now - but when I was younger,
and probably better looking, I was more desperate.
Now, I know that I'm not going to find what I want again
anyway, so I've set the bar even higher.

That's a good point too.

So why am I choosy? I've spent a lot of my life dealing with a fear of men and intimacy and I think for me it is important for a man to have a very specific set of qualities for me to feel safe with him.

What's "pretty"?

everyones choosy, especially when you older, they are f*****g picky

I am picky, mainly because I have known my whole life that I do not need someone to make me happy. I am an introvert. but if i am going to spend the time, energy and compromise to be with someone, I must be very picky.
and the men i date seem equally so.

i think that sometimes more attractive people might not give as much in a relationship cause they might feel like they could always find another...

and that tactic in itself is not good for any relationship (aside from the chosey stuff)...

maybe they tend to blow through life like this and more often find themselves alone in the end (whether they are 60 and single or 60 and married to someone they don't care about anymore)

don't know if that really happens but maybe the less attractive are generally more in touch with the more practical things... things that tend to last.

i've had no type that i'm attracted to... can only seem to peg em all with a big nose

/shrug

In this context; superficial beauty.
Babes and the like.

I definitely have standards...but I don't think I'm overly choosy.

Of course, this misses the point that there are
physically attractive people with lousy personalities,
who have little chance of catching anyone. I was damned
glad to have my first gf, and absolutely amazed that I found
someone as perfect as my wife. I'm pretty picky, but I tend
to stick around. Any lack of giving came late, and was more
due to comfort and complacency, rather than thoughts of
getting anything else.

Physically attractive…, got you.

I cannot really give an opinion being that I’ve no experience with this except: you can have people throwing themselves at you and you can still be alone due to being completely ret*d emotionally (exhibited overtly how people expect) and socially (not being able to talk doesn’t go very far).

I'm ugly and i'm extremely choosy XD well I'm almost not choosy at all when it comes to personality (i love evryone ^_^), but i'm REALLY picky when it comes to outside layer (i don't only mean visual look - it's important, but i'm obsessive about smell/touch and sound. first they have to smell perfect and have pale soft skin, and pretty voice - than to be pretty in visual way.) i'm more choosy when it comes to boys, probably because girsl are more likely to be pretty in general?

like it was said, i think it's because pretty girls just have more to choose from...

Pretty people are mostly boring ... they never needed to discover anything about themselves or the world, people just fell at their feet their whole lives.

I went out with a beautiful girl once, wherever we went men drooled and came up to her. It wasn't what I wanted.

There was some film, a Beautiful Mind mind, where these college guys in a bar calculate that to have a chance of attracting the others girls in the bar they would have to all ignore the stunning blonde, and instead speak to the brunnettes.
