I found a website called aspiezruleduhworld.net which lists a bunch of statistics including Asperger dating statistics which he claims to be valid. Prepare to have your mind blown.




Chances of getting laid in high school: 65%

Chances of getting laid in high school with a diagnoses of Asperger Syndrome: 0.0000000001%


Average age of first kiss: 15

Average age of first kiss with a diagnoses of Asperger Syndrome: 50



What do you look for in a girl? The three most common responses were butts, breasts, and legs.

What do Aspies look for in a girl? The three most common responses were a fully functional brain, im just happy to even get a girlfriend, and women and love do not compute.

I can't seem to find that website at all. Are you sure that it is the right web-address?

Those are total BS statistics!

It's obvious that it's a satirical website.

You shouldn't be so hung up on statistics!

You should be hung up in your success in the present.

I did see your statistics on the other forum. Why do you think you were so far above the rest of the Aspie population?

Now...my friend,

Where in tarnation did you get the idea that I thought I was "above" other Aspies?

I'm not....that's the point.

I don't think my odds of having sex in high school were that high :D

I don't think that you "thought you were above other Aspies", but that some of your statistics were above the norm for Aspies. Some of them were above the norm for NTs. I am just wondering what your key to success was when many of us with Asperger's can't achieve anywhere near that level.

Sheer desperation, many times, just settling for whatever came my way.

At others: Not caring what people think.
Striking up conversations with random people on subway (not recommended).
Answering an ad, and having a woman literally pull me in her apartment and "rape" me.
Just listening to what people say.

How did you get stuff to "come your way?" I pretty much had low to no standards, but couldn't get very many to come my way. Sounds like you understood life or social rules/cues better than I did though, or maybe had more self confidence.

I had low self-confidence in my early 20s. I had more confidence in my mid 20's and beyond.

I have a feeling, sometimes, people "came my way" because I was earnest and naïve. Sometimes, girls like that. Almost like Forrest Gump. I still have Gumpian qualities. People can trust me with their secrets.

I am sure the alcoholism didn't things for me. Most of the time at parties I was too intoxicated to realize if someone was showing interest in me or not, even though I still can't tell those things very well. And I am sure I wasn't too attractive to others, being that intoxicated.

Yep...that could certainly have played a role in your lack of success.

I have been sober for 21 years now, so if anything were to ever happen to my wife and I had to go back into the dating scene again, hopefully I would stay that way and not have the negatives effects from alcohol. I would also know I really need to read up on dating, picking up flirtation signals from women, and general social skills things.

For some reason, I sense that you're better than you think you are. You could be Aspie yet be relatively skillful socially due to the use of your cognitive abilities.

What are you a professor of? I think people actually excuse, somewhat, social naivete in academics.

relax the whole statistics thing is a joke. the real percentage of getting laid isn't 0.000000001% thats an exaggeration. It's probably less than a neurotypical but definitly not super-super rare.

The chances of me getting laid in high school was 0% because it didn't happen and I am well past high school.
