I'm not attracted to girls though (I'm still straight) I just find guys completely unattractive as well. even though I've never been into actually going on dates, I've always been 'boy crazy' and suddenly I'm not. I've been trying to figue out why, and I realized after the last guy in my life turned out to be a disgusting creep and liar, that's when I went back to having crushes on cartoons.

Well good for you, I guess...

That's great and all but having a crush on a fictional character won't get you too far, but whatever floats your boat

Sometimes I wish I wasn't attracted to boys....

Some anime guys are hawt.

Haha, my NT sister is like this as well. My old girlfriend too, who had a few mental disorders of her own (I don't think she was an aspie though), but she said she could imagine me as an anime character so it worked out, at least for a couple of years.

Damn, that's actually pretty depressing. "I only love you because you're a fantasy."

People being more attracted to "caricatures" than actual human beings is far more common than you would think...

Attracted to a caricatures more than actual people? If by caricatures you mean cartoons and illustrations, that's probably extremely rare...

I think what was implied was that many are attracted to an ideal or made up person instead of reality. It happens even in real relationships.

Personally, I find it fascinating that made up things can have such an impact on us. I get moved by movies, or feel connections to characters... and many do... and that's just weird.

Ohhhhh, I see. I guess sometimes I take implications too literally. Maybe I have Aspergers?

It's more common than you think. Only the ones I meet aren't attracted to cartoons, but literary characters. Specifically, that vampire from Twilight.
There's nothing wrong with it though, so long as you don't mind the lack of physical contact and emotional feedback.

I have a massive crush on kakashi from naruto. HE is my perfect man, I wish I could find someone like him. I thought I was strange, but there are many people who have these crushes...there's a thread in the television forum all about them! Fictional characters are always better because they are perfect and predictable and don't let you down. As opposed to patners in relationships where you can never tell what's gonna happen next and you can never depend on them or trust them 100 percent.

^ Ya know, I think that Red Eyed chick thats Kiba's, Hinata's, and Shino's sensai is pretty hot.

Anyway, I think its not weird to be attracted to fictional characters, however, to the OP, don't just snuff off real people over a bad relationship or two, you will find the right person someday, perhaps another aspie that knows more about what its like to be in your shoes. I believe not giving up is the best way to overcome our obstacles given to us by having AS in a NT world.

Jessica Rabbit, anyone? I'm only kidding. I think I understand. That last guy you dated was a creep and a liar. That sucks! Not all men are like that. Don't lose all hope. I did that for many years, until I met a woman friend that showed me that not all women are evil (as I have falsely believed). And now, I'm too old! lol I hope the best for you as well.

Correct. What people often expect to find for "lovers" are so idealized and unrealistic that they might as well be cartoons.
