Do Aspies tend to attract the same gender?

Post Reply New Topic

I very rarely attract men. I am much more likely to attract females or who identify as genderless. I don't really mind, but I consider myself more heteroromantic (I think I identify as asexual). Does this happen a lot to other people?

I'm sort of on the asexuality spectrum myself & some homosexual guys liked me before. I think it's because I don't conform to the typical masculine guy stereotype & I try & hope I'm pretty accepting of homosexuals or anyone else who's different from the norm in some way & is nice. I think not conforming to gender roles is fairly common amongst Aspies & it can be in subtle ways we aren't even aware of

Uh it seems to happen like that for some. I guess because we do not adhere to gender roles as such people misinterpret the signs as a sexual orientation rather than mental health thing.

perfect for the topic too

I attract many females. I feel genderless and i always assumed i was bi-sexual until recently i have come out as a hetrosexual. I attract a lot more women then men. I don't know why.

I am bisexual or pansexual but have never been able to attract women, only men.

The last time I went out a little over a week ago there were offers from 5 guys and 1 girl that night.
The girl was gorgeous.

That's kind of normal for me, I usually attract guys but every so often there is the occasional girl thrown into the mix.

I don't know what it is, but gay guys seem to obsess over me. I'm a mainly straight male, and it does get annoying, and creepy at times. I have nothing against homosexuality, but it does frustrate me that I am having no luck in the ladies department, and that gay guys don't really want me, they want my body.

Same thing as mkoberland up there. EXACT same thing. Except change "mainly" to "totally."

I am reasonably sure I prefer women. But I seem to confuse some people's gaydar sometimes. For a while a good friend who is straight himself but has a sister who was out, was unsure of me for a while.

The scarier one was a guy who I think was a) bi; and b) thought I was gay. Getting shoulder rubs at work in front of colleagues -> super awkward.

I get that same sex attraction a lot too, but I don't act like a typical woman. (what a suprise!)

I don't even get that. I think I'd almost be flattered if that happened.
