If this was your only requirement than fine. Otherwise this is not too hot. I mean if you really want a woman like this you have to go and find her.

Even without the other criteria, there aren't any Aspies in my area (the area around Wichita Falls, Texas and Lawton, Oklahoma).

Yeah, I would probably say that even if you widened your criteria to include NT girls that you would still have a hell of a hard time finding someone like that.

Probably not what you are talking about, but some people who are more affected by aspergers/autism than you will be housebound, and it isn't their fault.

Other than that, I agree with you. I couldn't date anyone like that either. But it's offensive to say that anyone who doesn't have a bachelors degree must be like that. How about you change it to 'active, self determined' - thats a bit more open.

There actually was someone who met all the criteria, but she turned me down because of the distance.

I confess that I want people to be perfect.

When you yourself are perfect (to others, not just yourself), you can start requiring it.

What *is* reasonable then, if I'm specifically looking for another Aspie?

You're already on a thin rope just by requesting a female Aspie partner. It's rare enough in general, but the male to female ratio is 4:1 from what I've heard.

Good luck though.

I knew a few gals with college degrees and implants. haha They are f'ing pycho egotistical b*****s that take advantage of men. (A few of my friends who will remain unnnamed). Sad thing is they work as teachers in the Nebraska School System.

It is possible for somebody to have breast implant and a degree, ok not the norm but possible. It is more understanding how odds work. There a pretty much no requirements there that increase the odds. The only two that are vaguely related are south park and socially liberal.

Having a degree doesn't bar one from that... I'm currently pursuing a college degree, and I spend almost all the time I'm not doing school-related work or volunteering at my church (both of which are considerable) playing video games...

but then again, i'm male...

There are about 150,000 within the Wichita Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area, around half of which are female. So, you have about 75,000 females to choose from based on this...

Quote:

--lives within 50 miles of Wichita Falls, Texas

Around one out of every four has a bachelors degree so...

Quote:

--has at least a bachelor's degree

That's around 19,000 people.

Quote:

--makes at least $50,000 a year

According to cencus dot gov, about half of those wit a bachelors or higher make $50,000 or more. So that's about 8,000 people.

Quote:

--is politically and socially liberal

Supposedly 19-25% of the electorate identify as liberal, so that's around 2,000 people.

Quote:

--is a mainline Protestant Christian (Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, etc.)

Around half the population, so maybe 1,000 people.

Quote:

--is skinny and is at least a D-cup

Based on recent data of ~330,000 breast augmentations in 2007 up 55% from 2000, I'm guessing that someone like this who is also skinny would comprise at best about 1-2% of the population. So maybe 10-20 people.

Quote:

A formally diagnosed Aspie female who:

And, now we're at fractions of a person...

Not to mention... How many people in the states like South Park?

Granted, this is incredibly simplistic and ignores many confounds, however I don't think it's unrealistic to say that your requirements will probably result in a solitary life until you start bending a bit.

I like Tim's standards. Most people are s**t.
