Could you explain to me, in your own words, what a ND courtship and culture is and should be?
You want someone natural, untouched, and not smeared by any NT cultural influence, and yet you're going to expect a young, inexperienced woman to settle with you after she takes a bite of what intimacy feels like. She may decide she doesn't like you, after all.
It's not a sure-thing for a 'natural' woman to stay how she is after some experience, right? Cultural influence isn't so strong that people will lose their instincts.
You could be a serial dater of multiple inexperienced, vulnerable women, and all they'd have in common after leaving the relationship is being with you once and possibly being less desirable to the next man that comes along. It's unlikely she'll be any less desirable, lots of men are much less offended by a past dating history, because they are not threatened by it.
Insecure people are actually more likely to cheat, did you know that? They are less well-versed in knowing how to cope with someone wanting them, and might give into any attention they get if they learn they're desirable to other people.
Perhaps you (some men in this thread in general) are not relationship material. You demand for women to have no dating history, and will lose interest in them as soon as you learn a bit too much about them. If you've been single for very long, then it might be your own fault for being so unavailable to the NT cultured women you look down on.
rdos is a married man.
Have you ever thought that if she is so inexperienced and similar to you in your youth then she may undergo the same change you had when you realized you didn't like these 2 girls?
I didn't "realize" I didn't like them--I knew that from the very start, but was desperate, because as you said, it can feel "kinda hopeless" to find others like myself. I went in thinking that all I needed was a girl who would want to experiment with touch. I came out knowing that I want someone who wants to experiment, and to whom I also am attracted. Not necessarily someone with whom I am deeply in love, just at the bare minimum someone I don't find hideous, and much more preferably someone I actually have some sort of feelings for.
The kind of woman I am looking for finds me attractive and I find her attractive too--so at that point this change is irrelevant--either she's already undergone it (by being with someone she finds hideous/unattractive and learning that's not what she wants), or else she doesn't NEED to, because she's already with someone she likes (myself).
I'm not looking for someone who is necessarily like how I was before those girls, but someone who is like how I am now (i.e. never been with someone he/she finds attractive, still curious about the male body in the sort of sense of a kid who peeks at her brother changing, wonders what it would feel like for a crush to be mutual). Though I wouldn't quibble with someone who has even less experience, like I had before meeting those girls--because as I say, I am looking for a relationship with mutual attraction anyway so it really doesn't matter. And I don't think it's really something to worry about anyway. Most young women have already had the opportunity to reject at least one guy, and feel (rightly or not) like they have the luxury of being able to pick and choose. So, they have probably either already done what I did with those two girls, and learned from it, or else they are holding out for mutual attraction anyway.
Attractiveness might be all for you, but maybe she wants something else too, don't think that a woman will like and need the exact same things you do. So she can still experience that change.
But Jesus Christ, why not just find a nice person whom you like and are liked by? If I were you I wouldn't look down on that.

What I'm looking for is definitely not a girl who has never experienced physical or emotional intimacy before, but who falls head over heels and marries me at the first taste of someone liking her. What I'm looking for is someone who lived a similar isolated childhood, who wants to write a story together, metaphorically speaking, from the beginning.
So you want like a girl with confidence issues that will instantly fall head over heels in love with you and jump into marriage because no one else has ever liked her before? I mean sure I could see it being kind of an endearing fantasy but realistically that's ridiculous. I mean what happens after you get married right away and then get to know each other and find out you really aren't that into each other or you guys simply don't get along as a couple? What if she realizes she jumped into the marriage far too quick without really thinking it through.
I am not saying don't date a girl that fits that description, but certainly don't get married right away...if you are her first relationship there is a chance it may not last, so probably best to just be boyfriend and girlfriend for a while until you're both really sure you want to get married or not. Also though kind of unlikely you would find a woman over 25 with such little experience unless she's religious or has super sheltering parents that have never let them develop, and will likely want constant involvement in you and her relationship.

I think you missed the negative in there. In other words, everything in that first sentence is what I DON'T want (but had the feeling some others in this thread THOUGHT I wanted). The second sentence is what I DO want. I am by no means ready to get married, or even think about that.
Also, I thought I saw a reply from you about my comments about women in group homes/assisted living facilities, but somehow it magically disappeared before I had a chance to respond to it. So, I will, even though I can't quote it.
I'm not interested in nonverbal women, or women who appear openly, for lack of a better word, "ret*d". I'm fine with women who can't drive, who can't live on their own, or who have issues like motor tics, incoordination, etc. But I want someone with whom I can have a real conversation, and someone I can ask for consent with before doing anything.
There's this girl I've been visiting in a group home--she's actually quite smart and perfectly able to communicate on her own. I'm not sexually interested in her, though I thought I might be when one of the staff of the home came to an asperger parent meeting where my mom was and said the young woman was looking for friends. She's almost exactly the same age as me, and everyone wonders why she's there, but she does live in kind of a "bubble". She doesn't have a boyfriend, and I totally understand why--the majority of guys (and other women) in that home are nearly nonverbal, they babble almost like babies and it would be inappropriate for her to date them, not to mention that if they are as unattractive to her as women who are THAT low-functioning are to me, she wouldn't want to anyway.
Wait till she gets out of the teenish Disney love feeling and files for divorce, putting his ass on the street.
This subforum is filled with guys who wasted their youth and now want to make up for it by either sleeping around or getting the teenish relationship they never had while they are 30 or something.

^ And why is that a bad thing if the women I am dating also want to relive this kind of concern-less relationships?
Some of the women I had sex with are divorced / single moms who miss the sex and want to try it again after so long; they aren't very young either; usually of age 30-40 bracket.
Yes I want to make up for the wasted years - they were wasted because I was not attractive; no girl wanted me, it wasn't by my choice.
But I am being very transparent in my intentions.

There is more to relationships than attractiveness. She could find you attractive and still conclude she doesn't like your personality, she could like you initially and come to not like you so much if she ends up thinking you don't spend enough time with you, doesn't think you're on the same page as far as relationship goals or things like that.
Even two people liking each other isn't a guarantee it will work out. There is one of my exes I never came to dislike...I think he was a cool guy, but there were other factors that got in the way.
There are just a lot of factors.

Ok thanks for clearing that up...I certainly did misunderstand you there. Of course not everyone in places like that is mentally impaired or intellectually disabled if they are looking for a relationship and you get the proper visitor pass and follow any rules of the facility then it could probably be fine. They can't ban people with the mental capacity to consent to sex and relationships from pursuing them.
But yeah they have to have a lot of security because there are certainly some sickos out there that would try to take advantage of mentally impaired. I am glad you aren't one of them.

Even if I personally have my reasons for thinking that it's bad and I can't stand such behaviours, I don't think that I was lecturing people in my post. I was just saying what the situation is and you said the same exact thing today in your post. I didn't even say the word "bad", perhaps you are projecting something on my post.

There is good change, and then there is bad change.

Peacesells--please read my clarification to Sweetleaf about the post that you quoted in your last message. Especially since when I said "(but had the feeling some others in this thread THOUGHT I wanted)", I meant especially you by those "some others"--I didn't want to call you out by name. But I see that you saw what you wanted to see and saw her misunderstanding as truth, i.e. that I wanted someone who would marry her first boyfriend. In fact, in many senses that couldn't be farther from what I want.
I include personality in "attractiveness", not just beauty. Those girls I was involved with didn't only LOOK unattractive, they weren't my type personality-wise, even though one in particular was a very nice person.
Isn't this the whole thing we're talking about--finding someone on the same page in terms of relationship goals (where stage of development is a major factor)? If I'm looking for "teenish Disney love" as Peacesells puts it, and someone to share a blanket fort with or lie under the stars with and muse about the nature of existence, whereas she's looking for someone stable who will support her and maybe raise a family, doesn't that count as "not being on the same page as far as relationship goals or things like that". Similarly, if my idea of sexual experimentation is rolling around tickling each other in various places, taking showers together, and tasting each other's fluids like a kid licks different candy, and hers is getting handcuffed and being treated roughly, doesn't that ALSO count as "not being on the same page"?
There are just a lot of factors.
What does "work out" mean here?
It's not "wasted", at least not in the sense of the 20-somethings who do nothing but party and have no idea what they want to do with their lives. I spent a good part of my late teens and early 20s trying to deal with chronic health issues, and also I was a late bloomer socially. I've learned a lot about my fields of interest in that time, the thing is I feel it often isolates me very much.
Most other people, even most aspies, interacted with other kids as a kid, and have a fairly good idea how friendships and human connection "work". Many people are also intellectually less sophisticated, but many are sophisticated enough to do what they want to do career-wise, and don't care about the rest. Getting intellectually way ahead of yourself, and what the real world actually needs, actually hinders getting real things accomplished sometimes.
Maybe the fact that I'm looking for "teenish Disney love" and know I don't want to marry my first girlfriend, because I know something as serious as marriage takes an approach that is much more real-world compromise than fairy tale, is what shows I'm more mature than actual teens, some of whom are actually deluded enough to think their "teenish Disney love" is something worth getting married over, that this wouldn't be a sure way to burst their bubbles. That's perhaps why I'm attracted to adults who give off a child vibe, but rarely if ever actual children.

That makes sense, that you include personality in attractiveness but not everyone else does. Some people will date based on physical attraction only to find they aren't really otherwise compatible.
And yeah those are examples of not being on the same page...and that is what I mean, is as you get to know someone you've started dating you may find some of those incompatibilities as you go. Especially if you're dating a less experienced woman who's still discovering what she wants in a relationship or what she enjoys sexually.
And I mean the relationship may not work out even if two people do like each other, due to other factors. Like if one person has to move too far away or maybe they have some past baggage they need to work out before they can commit to a relationship or things like that.

No. I don't yet know it well enough to do that.
Now you are projecting NT dating culture onto me again. One thing I do know about ND courtship is that it doesn't contain any "intimacy" (sexual intercourse). NDs don't use "performance in bed" or "physical attractivity" as traits required from partners.
So, experience for you is sex and dating, right? Not for me. That's also why I regard this kind of experience as totally irrelevant for NDs, and potentially detrimental.
First, I don't involve in dating as it was made for NTs, and isn't suitable for NDs.
Second, my criteria are not "inexperienced" or "vulnerable", but unaffected by cultural norms, and thus able to act naturally.
I don't like insecure girls, but I'm also not into monogamy. So, cheating for me is not to show interest in somebody else, but to break up from a commitment because of somebody else.
I'll soon celebrate my 25th marriage anniversary.
