I've been within six relationships myself, and whilst they all broke down for various reasons. Absolutely none of them were because of my autism. In every instance of talking to a woman I'll bring it up, it normally goes one of two ways:

Five to ten minutes discussing it and how it affects things.

"Oh that explains why you were awkward!" Followed by slight laughter and carrying on like nothing happened.

I know it affects people differently, but some people will hide behind it and use it as an excuse to blame others for their own issues. They see it as a safety net, using it as an excuse to not grow as a person. "It can't of been me, I'm autistic, maybe it's because she doesn't get my autism! Yeah it's her fault not mine!".

This'll probably sound harsh but I can't quite think of a way to put it without possibly sounding like a jerk,

LOL!  Of course, be careful ... the point is that just because "most" non-aspie women don't find aspie traits in a man appealing does not mean that "all" women feel the same way, and that those women who are not put off by aspie traits are out there, and some of them may even be available -- the OP shouldn't give up just because of a few disappointments.

To whom are you directing this, and why?

You're staring yourself blind on statistics. Unless you are in fact looking to date "most women", which seems unlikely and somewhat difficult logistically, your aim should be to attract the sort of woman who would be attracted to you and your traits, not changing yourself to game the odds. Just because getting struck by lightning is exceedingly unlikely doesn't change the fact that there are people to whom it has happened. Repeatedly.

Here's the problem,most non aspie women simply don't find aspie traits in a man to be very appealing.How many women would find aspie male traits to be attractive or even something that isn't a big negative?If I had to guess,I say it probably be a very few and far between, and even then I believe most of those women would likely ether already taken,or women who I find to very uninteresting. Non aspie/autistic men on the other tend a lot more accepting of aspie traits than women,which one of biggest reasons why there's many more single aspie men than are single aspie women. It's also the same reason why we tend to have more friends with people of the same sex than aspie women do as well.


You know, after reading Fluffy’s post above where she asked you a question, it occurred to me that there’s a whole series of questions that you haven’t been asked and that it might be worthwhile to ask them, so, her goes:
• 1) What do you want out of this thread?
Are you after advice and encouragement from those of us who have wives/husbands/significant others, or, do you want sympathy with your current situation? (If option two: ignore all subsequent questions, they’re irrelevant in that case)
• 2) Repeating Fluffy’s question: what do you actually want in terms of a relationship with a woman?
Sex? Friendship? A date two-three times a month and see where that leads? A girlfriend you see a few times a week? Marriage/long-term commitment?
• 3) Assuming the answer to (2) is one form or another of serious/potentially serious relationship: what do you think these are like?
what do you anticipate would be a positive change, are there any potential drawbacks you’ve thought of?
• 4) What are you priorities as regards the hypothetical woman you would have a relationship of whatever form with?
looks? hobbies? tastes in general? sense of humour? character traits? background & upbringing? beliefs (religious and/or political)? Other?
• 5) Where & how have you been trying to make a connection with women in the past?

That’s probably enough interrogation! :lol:
__________________________
NB: I’m not expecting you to answer any of these questions if you rather wouldn’t, answer all, some, or none as you choose :wink:



First - I want a bit of both.I want advice how I approach/talk with women without looking like creep or someone who's desperate and advice of how to turn female acquaintances into female friendship or romantic relationship.How do I even meet women in the first place? From what I heard,most women might not like random strangers approaching them.I also want empathy of my current situation as well.

Second - As of now,ideally I would start as friends with female that becomes girlfriend who I see a few time week that turning into a long term relationship after that.The problem is that is that every woman I came I contact,they rejected me.Like they never wanted to even become friends with me,let alone get into a romantic relationship with me.

Three - Not sure since I never had a relationship or even dated before.I guess for me if ever enter a long term relationship is that I feel loved romantically,which never happened to me before,someone I can tell my deepest secrets with,someone who I can trust financially,someone who I can cuddle,hug,kiss,etc with often,with sex sometimes(tho it's not a main priority for me).


Four - I prefer a female who might be in sports(tho fine if she isn't),someone like traveling,cooking,Arts/painting,photography,someone who I can do fun activities/outings with,but also like to stay home sometimes as well.
I would want a woman to not super religious,tho the same time not against religion neither.Also a woman who's not very conservative,but someone who's not far to left neither.
Looks of the woman does matter to me if the relationship is beyond a friendship. She doesn't be a super model,however she's has to be atleast okay looking.
Personally I a women who is feminine,but is also not very submissive.I prefer a woman who's a introvert,tho I also would take who's extroverted woman as well,as long as we share some of the same interest/hobbies and share similar values.
Race or culture of the female doesn't matter to me,long as we connect with one another.

Five-Yes I have tried to make connections with females in the past.I try to have long conversation with females,however it seems like they tend to become uninterested of what I'm saying after three or four sentences.I have tried to ask for females for her phone number and email after getting to know for a while,however within a 5-6 months after we exchange emails or text,we never talked again.However within last 2-3 years,I have mostly stopped talking with women outside of family unless it's strictly for business reasons due to previous failures/rejections.

She kept them hidden.  Don't ask me how.

What do you talk about? Do you just talk about yourself or your interests? Do you ask them questions about themselves?

If you like outdoor activities I would suggest joining groups that do that sort of thing... after lockdown is over. You might not find a partner, but you would at least meet like-minded people.

That's how my parents met.
Also, good time with activities you enjoy is in the package.

My parents met since they were both doctors. Being a librarian hasn’t translated me to being with another librarian, though. Most of the women who become workers here are already married. That doesn’t help me at all.

That was unnecessary.

I think this is a good idea to try but as Marknis says it doesn't always work, you'll prob have to try more than one thing. Make sure you pick things that you genuinely like.
I didn't have any luck when I went from working in a pub to working in a book shop either Marknis. I thought swapping drunks for readers would be a step up but the customers were either married or snobs. And nobody bought me a sodin drink.

Are you looking for sexual experience (to put it about) or a long term serious relationship?

Or a serious relationship but preferably after you've put it about for a bit?

I'm not waiting to judge but I would give very different advice depending on what you actually want. Don't just say you'll settle for anything, you must have a preference.

I've just read 11 pages and no one asked this question, why?



But you are a pig, no one here can achieve your sexual experience.[/quote



Careful with the jokes, Boo.

I get you're joshing us, but other posters don't.

Thanks.


I'm not a likely Boo-defender, but anyone who's seen Fluffy's avatar should get it if they're capable of getting jokes at all. Even Commander Data would have smirked.



I know, but his post got reported, and, given recent events, I don't want Boo to become a target of people who just don't like him and start reporting him and attacking him.

I'm trying to avoid a repeat of what happened with Fnord.

I don't mean to rehash things that are past but I only just saw this. It was not me who reported the post, I wasn't offended by the post at all.
