You sound like my type. All those things could easily describe my girlfriend.

Yep.

Also she's laid back, nonjudgemental, loves animals, cooking, a ton of common interests, likes sex, and a myriad of other reasons why she'd be a good fit for me that go beyond just looks and financial stability (although those are both nice bonuses that she also possesses.)

No "settling" here........she's the whole package. :D

I'm not saying Every Aspie woman is how I described above. But look at the picture thread. Typically people with aspergers of both genders are more unattractive than the average NT.. From the pictures I saw.

And geeko and Marcia I'm happy for you both of you and geeko you and your girlfriend. I doubt that she would be anywhere near my type though. Doesn't mean we all can't be friends. Marcia I'm glad your well educated and have a job and all, but if you aren't attracted to somebody than you just aren't attracted to them for the right reasons in my opinion.

Apply this logic to yourself and prepare for much disappointment.

I'm not sure if your feelings are still angry from the comment I made earlier and that prompted you to make this comment but Thank you Januaryman. I appreciate the tip. 8O

Nah that comment you're on about was harmless and funny. I'm just saying if you're going to generalize people with the same condition as you don't forget you're also tarring yourself with the same brush. Unless of course, you believe you're above this stereotype you've created for AS folk. That would be quite funny, too, and I can't take offence to something that ridiculous.

This is, and always has been, my number one issue with the OP.........

It's one thing to express a preference for "normal" (i.e. NT women.)

It jumps to a whole other level of self-hating ableism when you then outright dismiss (or act downright hostile to) the opinions of Aspie woman because they are "weird/subnormal" and equate being NT with being "higher quality." How could an Aspie not take offense to that?

It's why I find the title of this thread ironic.

Motivations are different.

Some people are pulled 'towards' things - eg - brighter future, nice house, happy pleasant children/tigercubs etc etc

And some people are pushed 'away' from things - eg - crappy homelife, boredom, tedious job, suppression...and so on. I've always been more of an 'away' sort of person - that's got me moving.

If someone needs to 'hate' AS ways, people, thinking to get them motivated...well, morally it might be questionable, but it's a lever, and maybe better than doing nothing. Maybe.

I don't see how it could be in any way good for one's self-esteem.

It's like a gay person who has to hide/hate who they are because thier religion says they are sinners.

Forget about self-esteem on this. It's a lever to make material improvements - which could be argued lead to improved self-esteem in themselves (I am who I am with, I am my job etc etc.) And, when one is rock bottom, any plan can be a good plan.

Sounds quite NT, in many ways. A middle-class hatred of the underclass, for instance, simply to prevent them ever sinking low.

Really? How interesting. Is "Polly" the name of your composite fantasy woman?

:lmao:

I get it, I get it...you meant to say "poll" but you accidentally made it sound as though you were going to make a composite woman called "Polly" i.e. one of those photoshopped images made up of the nose of celebrity woman 1, the boobs of celebrity woman 2, the hair of celebrity woman 3, etc. all combined into a single image that looks like a freak.:lol:
