NDs girls dating ND or NT

Post Reply New Topic

That doesn't follow. Just because people tend to have mixed traits doesn't mean there isn't specific ways linked to ND and NT neurotype.



I've written a lot about this here, but I can't sum it up in a simple way (because it is a complex issue). For one thing, wanting to get to know a potential partner through observation rather than conversation has a huge correlation to the ND neurotype, and it is in direct conflict with dating. Another thing is how the bonding process works in NDs, which makes dating a high-risk behavior since dating seldom leads to a relationship but easily to an infatuation for NDs.



The paper is the source. Besides, it makes no sense that humans would have more diversity in personality traits than other animal species, and it makes absolutely no sense that humans have a huge variation in courtship and relationship preferences. However, once traits are grouped by neurotype, instead of thought to be part of human universals, humans in fact, have no other variation in courtship and relationship preferences and similar variation in personality traits as other species.

It's just that abusive people will not put down a lot of time on somebody that makes no guarantee that they will get anywhere with them. These people target dating and quick ways to get into relationships so their intentions can be concealed until their victim has bonded with them. Also, the bonding process for NDs involved in dating is much faster than in the observation process which goes on for a much longer time.

Sure, it can still happen, but the risk is much lower.

Crazy, absolutely crazy!



A lot of stereotyping and projection (not to mention pre-conceived ideas about both NTs and NDs) going here methinks. Also, who people date, no matter for what reason - be it crazy or shallow - is strictly their business and so it should remain.

I agree woth both of these replys

Ok so when did you conduct this study of human diversity and gather those statistics? Putting something in a paper doesn't make it true

Guess I'm not ND then according to your standards

I seem to have a natural filter for NDs. My social group is already so small and I have such low social needs it's really hard for anyone to stick. People only stick if I get on with them with minimal, usually undetectable effort on my part. NTs usually require more effort because you have to adjust to them. When I meet anyone, if I detect that they will 1. require effort or 2. cause me stress, I fade out and never contact them again. And actually everyone in my close circle are on the autism spectrum or strongly suspect themselves to be. So it's not really a dilemma I have because for some reason I subconsciously took that choice away from myself after my last relationship with an NT (I dated two NTs in total, out of four). He's not just an NT. He's highly empathetic and sensitive. God what a nightmare that relationship was. Both of us were good partners. For someone else. He frequently criticized me for being "cold" and "rude" and I couldn't stand that he needed so much validation and was so sensitive. Now I'm with someone for whom this is never a problem.

I don't have a hard and fast rule for whether or not I date NTs. It just so happens that my filter brings me whatever it brings and I choose from there and my filter can change for all sorts of subconscious reasons. It works for me and I'm not going to change it even if it means I might just never happen to date another NT.

My 2nd girlfriend was an NT & the relationship fell apart because of my anxiety & OCD that's treated by a couple meds now. My 2nd girlfriend was on the spectrum but the relationship was very one-sided & she broke up with me thinking she'd be better off without a relationship with anyone or at least that's the line she told me. My current girlfriend is also on the spectrum & our relationship is pretty good thou we both have issues. We both try our best & that's what counts. I'm very liberal & generally support people having the rite to make their own personal choices with things. Also in my experience I think it depends on individual personalities instead of weather someone is on the spectrum or not so I think ND girls should be able to chose weather they want to date NDs or NTs & think ND guys should be able to chose if they want to date NDs or NTs.

That's how it works for me too, basically. I don't have hard rules against NTs, but I never end up being interested in them because they won't trigger my preferences, and I prefer not to put down a lot of effort in somebody unless they trigger me.

I started with that in 2004, and have a database of 1.5 million answers right now. I've tested over 1,500 different questions.
