10 years ago when I was 23/24 I would attract mostly younger women like 20 or less. Now 10 years later its the opposite 
What happened in the scenarios when the women were a bit younger than you James? Did you try making a move & if so did anything develop?SkinnyElephant wrote:
Neurodivergent people often have a lower emotional age. It doesn't surprise me one bit if some neurodivergent people prefer younger partners for this reason.
I myself prefer older. All I'm saying is others on the spectrum might have good rationale to prefer younger.
I think I had good rationale for preferring the idea of younger. From what I've seen online, it's not uncommon for women in relationships with Aspie guys to feel like they are forced to be the Aspie's mom. I never had a good relationship with my mom & I often felt like she resented me for being much less independent that my peers. I HATED the idea of my romantic partner resenting me for similar reasons & I figured a younger woman was much less likely to feel this way. I did NOT limit myself to younger women thou, I was interested in most single women who were nice towards me even if they were older but they were almost never interested in more than friendship with me & some even thought I was a closeted homosexual I myself prefer older. All I'm saying is others on the spectrum might have good rationale to prefer younger.
I've gotten accused of being pedo sometimes when I talked about my preferences on other sites & I was not even wanting a sexual thing 
I only know of one time when a woman a bit older than me was interested in more than friendship with me. We were online friends for a bit & met on a dating & friendship type forum site for people with various disabilities. I did reject her but it was because she had two kids. Their dad had main custody but I hated the idea of feeling like I'd might be thought of as her kid or being in a parenting position with her kids if she started playing mom more.
