Social skills, both verbal and non-verbal are by far my biggest deficit, and seem to be essentially canceling everything else out.
As for people saying it gets better as I get older, now that you've said it, I can safely say this -
BS.
I'll just write myself off as a loss then.

Do what you want, but I haven't written myself off as a loss, And I (arguably) have got a lot more reason to.

Sorry i do not mean to bring this up again but i think with females all the men expects them to do is just look prittey and not say anything and wash clohthes etc........with women they expect men to jump through A LOT of hoops and be assertive and confident, they do expect a lot from men. man has to be the provider not a nervous wreck.
WOW wait it just hit me if an aspie male wants a better chance of getting a date he shold get a sex change

Oh dear, not another "all women have to do is look pretty and find a man to provide for them and their babies
(ah, don't forget having sex with him and picking up his dirty underwear).
Women are human beings too, you know. They have a brain and will of their own. A lot of smart and educated men (and not only) expect to be able to have an intelligent conversation with a woman and don't see her as just a pretty ornament/housekeeper.
Your lack of success in dating has nothing to do with having AS and everything to do with the way you think and see women.

QFT
I'm about 90% driven away from this forum. I can't take this crap any more. Not only am I not like these "women" that you define, Jamesy, I literally know *no* women like this. None. Zip. Zero. Zilcho. NT or Aspie.
