Autism definitely makes things more challenging, but it's not a death sentence; in spite of it I have managed to date three awesome and beautiful women in my life. I've been rejected hundreds if not thousands of times, but the only certainty of failure is giving up. I just dust myself off and keep going, and try to learn from my mistakes.

I don't doubt that autism complicates dating.  But, all men are rejected way more often than not.  Even the most attractive, desirable men are mostly rejected.

I'm sure they do, I didn't mean to imply rejection is an Autistic thing, just that perseverance is key in my experience.

Yeah I've heard since women tend to be more liberal than men being conservative is a turn-off to many of them. I have my profile's political standing set to "moderate", maybe I should set it to "left/liberal" haha.

Do women want Liberal males though? TBH I don't even know what a liberal male would look like lol.

My wife's single friends seem to want some unrealistic expectations of a man. One of them I given up hope on as she wants a guy that is exactly 6 foot 2, a vegan, save the planet oriented and someone that they can bend to their will and do everything they want. What happen to just wanting a nice guy who respect and treats you right lol?). I have to bite my tongue and say perhaps this is why you are still single lol.

Well, I'm a "Liberal" male. If you wanna see what I look like there's a video of me in the general discussion section on my autism conference keynote. :P

But yeah I know what you mean, my best (female) friend is just like that, she's 26 and has never had a boyfriend (or a girlfriend, she is bisexual) because she has insanely unrealistic expectations of what she wants in a partner. She says all guys just want sex and all girls play mind games, and she never goes further than a first date before rejecting someone for being imperfect.
