Most aspie males are not going to have the comorbid personality disorders that allows them to be the "jerk". They suffer the nice guy syndrome and its unlikely they will pull off a very good impersonation of a jerk. So many women will be highly turned off by

I think most dating advice to aspies is rather pointless. Naturally higher functioning persons will be offering advice that often will not apply to lower function aspies. Lower functioning members need basic social skills training that they can get dealing with people in none dating social contexts. Like working a job dealing with people, etc.
In an earlier chapter in my life I would have agreed 110%.
Today I have an altogether different perspective. Would you consider studying the book, "Drive Your Woman Wild In Bed" by Stacey Keith? Yes, the title is very catchy indeed but it is more about codes of conduct for the men then whatever is done in the bedroom. I've also had excellent support and training in social skills with my speaker's club but the fact remains mine has been a journey of trial and error.
Do you have af who has that magic with women? If so, you might want to turn to him for coaching.
Persevere and don't give up. It can be done despite our limitations.
