It's the whole "attractive aspie" that can land girls in a world of hurt if not careful. Thing is, if a girl can make her aspie traits come off as cute, they're in for a lot of fun, provided they stay a bit cynical and guarded.
Not sure how guys can use the aspie personality to their advantage, though.
what I do is, Use my intelligence to come off as witty, and I don't make a lot of eye contact, so girls think I'm shy. sometimes i think I was blessed with a more interior aspergers, where all my o.c.d crap just stays in my head, and I don't have many stims that are apparent. other days, i wish i could trade with the people who have it apparent so that I wouldn't have so much crap bottled up in my head at once that it feels like it's going to explode.
one thing that gets me in bad situations. the eye contact thing. I always try to make eye contact to show interest, even multiple times, but when I look away, I look straight down. with girls, they think I'm staring at their chest or umm... lower. with guys, they think I'm looking...lower. creates an awkward situation, because all I'm really doing is listening to what they say, and semi zoning out, so where my eyes end up, isn't really where I'm looking!! !
anyone else had that problem?
