some aspie women get dates,other aspie women can't

Post Reply New Topic

I wonder about this today. Why is that some aspie women can get a boyfriend with no problem.
Have guys approach them. Get ask out.
but other aspie women can't get a boyfriend. Never get guys to approach them or ask them out.
is looks the issues. I don't like saying this but are the aspie women who can get boyfriends are they just
better looking than the one's who can't
or are they just nicer? and the aspie women who can't get boyfriend, just rude.
or mistaken as rude.

I guess it's a mixture of a lot of things. A lot of people in the U.S. fear the unknown (and people with Aspergers/Autism are seen as weirdo's who have a social disibility). At least that's kinda the way it was for me.

A hot girl can always get a boyfriend, no matter what. Of course, the same is true to a lesser extent for guys. Take from that what you may.

yeah. it so interesting to me. On why some aspie women can go out in public and just get a boyfriend with little or no problems.
I know of aspie women who are only 21 and has already had 3 boyfriends. I know of other who are sleeping with 4 guys in one year.
I find it amazing that some(read some) aspie women who struggle to make friends and are not very social can manage to find 4 guys to date them.

at the same time, there are alot of other aspie women who can not get a date, they can't get any guys to sleep with them or date them.
I don't like saying this but are the single aspie women are they just ''ugly''. or they just ''rude'' I have no idea.

are the aspie women who are ''good'' at getting dates are they just attractive. Do looks matter. be honest.

I can only speak from my own experience and assume that guys don't approach me in public to ask me out because of my apparent aloofness and also my oblivion to their interest, if there is any. And also...does that really happen very often, to anyone? Are you sure these women are getting boyfriends off the street, or are they perhaps meeting through friends and other easier avenues (no pun intended)?

Well i certainly think it cant be all looks since I am pretty good looking, used to be very hot but getting older.
I know that i pull some interesting facial expressions and act like a tomboy. I also dress like a tomboy, never do my nails, hair, makeup etc.
I think it also stems from the fact that I am always in my head and never feeling on any level. If I concentrate really hard on being sexy and go out all dressed up and act a certain way obviously have to get drunk first to be flirtatious then i will get hit on. Otherwise I dont seem to be interested in the opposite sex.

My other problem is that i tend to have men that are interested in my form long term frienships and cause I never give off an interested vibe they are reluctant to try to hit on me - takes them to be very drunk. When they finally do try it seems to come out of the blue for me cause I never pick up the signs of it, also cause I find general social interaction to be very intense so sexual attraction is out of this world on the intensity scale so I avoid it at all costs.

Basically to be able to go out with me someone needs to break through my multiple walls of ambivalence, my intense focus on other things and finally my extreme defense mechanism to anything interpersonal in order to get anywhere.

I can hardly stand to be touched and get all weird when there is flirting or sexual attraction so that scares most suitors away sadly.

It was much easier when I was younger and more often drunker to find someone to hook up with - making a relationship last well thats another whole issue.

There could really be so many reasons why each of these women do/do not get dates that I can't really make any generalizations. Everyone is in a different situation just like aspie men, nt men and nt women who may or may not struggle.

What helped for me was:
-knowing my type of guy (nerds, who happen to look for approachable smart girls so i had an advantage)
-intriguing them with my assets (smarts lol im not much in the looks department mostly because im really low maintenance, so that's not it)
-being a bit forward when i thought the guy was interested by asking him out but making him think it was his idea. the good thing is that most guys appreciate a girl who is straight forward like aspies tend to be, so i just had to speak my mind
-oh and showing some personality, like trying to listen to the guy and show interest, trying to establish a connection that he may not have with other women

I think a lot of it has to do with comfort level, luck and the crowd you are around. it's most likely that aspie women, like men, are uncomfortable with social skills and may not have the same luck.

You'll probably find it's the ones that get out and do things and/or have a bubbly/interesting personality and/or are higher functioning that get them.

Same with aspie males really. Yup.
