That is absolutely not true. The prettiest girl in the world may attract a lot of guys but attraction alone does not a relationship make. Trust me, I know this from experience. Besides, being shy and being aspie are two completely different things. They sometimes overlap, but they are separate.
Dating and having relationships is just as hard for aspie girls as it is for guys. Seems like a big misconception that we have it easier or something.
Improved looks do help, as does the self-confidence that comes with them. But social skills are the big one. Not just talking to people as an alternative to shy silence, but the actual social skills that are so difficult for all of us. You're right that "Be social" is useless advice, but I don't know if anyone said that. What is excellent advice is to commit to learning social skills and understanding other people. You can still be shy and have good social skills.
