So many people on Aspie Affection haven't provided a picture. I really suggest you do so. You'll get more responses if you upload a picture. This goes for guys, and girls (of which we need more).

if you don't know what Aspie Affection is, it's at http://aspieaffection.com and it's a great way to find a girlfriend or a boyfriend.

The extreme inbalance of single aspie men looking for single aspie women,
the low percent in the populations, the small number of users on aspie dating site,
extreme long distance seperations between most user on the site , the likely false
notion that aspie on aspie love match would be better, etc Is the reason the site has
had little growth. You got two kinds of aspies men those that understand the odds are slim and those that need to study math more.

Likely people who are not NT are just as likely to get along such as ADHD, OCD,
Panic disorders, social phobia, etc. So the aspie dating site has to reach out to those
and build a larger base. I guess a high percent of certain personality types like INTP,
etc will also have some PDDs. So trading links with some other sites like that might
help increase the poll of users on the dating site. If the inbalance of available aspie men to women is as great as I think it is (10 to 1) then at some point you have to say
to your self 9 out of 10 aspie males want find an aspie mate so a dating site that does not include a large number of non-aspies females will be doing a dis-service to aspie males.

You might come up with another site name that will not use aspie that could be used to promote the site to a greater pool of non-NT people. You would still keep the aspie afection name and that link would just resolve to the same site. The user would only see aspie affection if the link referal data said they came from aspie_affection or choose to click on it. Others would see a more general name. Use the more general name to promote to the non-aspie community.

^^I think that is a great idea. :D I am not sure I am aspie, but I made a profile on that site just because NTs don't understand me.

Probably because it wasn't posed as a question

The ratio is 1 female for every 4 males, and that is only those who have been formally diagnosed. Factor in the undiagnosed aspies and "hidden" aspies (those who have the characteristics, but who have no knowledge themselves of AS), and it could be 1:3 or even 1:2

The important thing is that aspie women are out there. Also, WP and AA are not the only ways to meet aspie women. Try local support groups if there is one near you, and there are other online AS groups as well.

The reason I have problems meeting people, I will admit, is that I have a bunch of other criteria for women in addition to them having AS.

Most of the pictures on Aspeiaffection turn me off from the people advertising more than anything.
I do wish there were more handsome, sexy people like me on that site. lol

Even though there aren't that many Aspie woman around, it still pays to be a little more picky. Don't settle for just anybody.

Yeah, it would also help if I could actually upload those pictures too. What with the weird DB errors I keep getting it's somewhat of a difficulty.
