Currently I'm on a few dating sites (OKCupid, Plenty of Fish and Oasis Active) and it seems like I never get any responses to my messages/contact requests or any profile views. A possible conclusion I've come to is that maybe "normal" girls just don't get/understand me, so I was wondering - are there any dating sites (specifically Australian) that cater to people on the autistic spectrum? I've signed up for AspieAffection but there were pretty much no matches where I live.

I've been looking for the same thing. I live in Sydney. Have you had any luck yet?

If I had had any success/luck, I wouldn't have created this thread.

The gender ratio on a aspie dating site would be like 20:1

You have a higher chance to win the lottery.

AspieAffection.com. I've heard it is terribly buggy, but I haven't tried it before.

This.

I saw one but didn't bother signing up because the ratio was worse than most dating sites, and most dating sites have pretty bad ratios for men seeking women.

It was terribly broken, like no one bothered to fix that and it was un updated for who knows when.

"My interests include: Going out for meals (as long as I can hide under the table), going to the cinema (as long as I can sit on the left and don't have to hold your hand), baseball cards from between 1952 and 1957, national flags, steam locomotives, the workings of the Post Office, airports, fluorescent lightbulbs, Pokémon trading cards, the singles of The Tornadoes, travelling by underground railway, analysing the behaviour of my 37 cats, suspension bridges, fluorescent paint, the rare earth group of the periodic table, weather-resistant paint, chip-pan fires, the smell of acetone, retractable biros and much much more...

"If you think we are a good match, why not get back to me?"

Wasn't there someone on here offering to make a dating site for people with autism? I hope it happens and they actually care enough to maintain the site... -.-

I looked at one site but it seems like it would be to easy for liars a trickery. I'm 50 and all these 20 year old girls want to date me, I believe that.
