Because they like them and find them attractive?

What's wrong with that? Do you think NTs shouldn't date aspies?
I never said that they shouldn't. I just don't understand what they find attractive about Aspies. I think NTs are way more attractive than Aspies when in comes to personality. I don't understand why they would put up with Aspies.

Okay, well NTs have liked that I'm honest, unpretentious, rational, and that I know myself really well. There's a few reasons to start you off. I think a lot of aspies would share those traits.

The stereotype society has of us in the spectrum is
romantically speaking very unappealing. However, I question
the very narrow definition we have of autism. I know many
people in the spectrum who are artistic, highly refined
beautifully eccentric, deep, passionate, eloquent.........
I could go on and on.
Perhaps when Hollywood starts portraying characters in
the spectrum which truly represent the diversity of most
of us, maybe that might play a part in enlightening society
that although we might be socially challenged, we can
dance beautifully through this life.

Personality... I instantly liked the honesty, his approach, the outlook on life, his moral code, his brain, the drive to succeed in life, sense of humor, the big heart. I can go on....
We share a lot of common values and are both open minded, It's not so much about putting up with one another; he is who he is, and I am who I am.

My husband and I share many of the same interests. We have a similar sense of humor. We enjoy each other's company. He thinks some of my quirks are cute.

Because they love them.

It seems to really depend. When I was in my teens and early twenties, the NTs I dated tended to do one of several things: value my openness, analytic capabilities, nerdiness and willingness to hang out or they viewed me as an improvement project (they would try to 'teach' me to be more stylish and/or normal over the course of the relationship.)
