Think it depends on your specific symptoms of autism, and other co-morbid traits, not everyone with autism is a hyper competent genius/savant type

watermel0nch0ly · 2024-04-15T17:50:56+00:00

Well considering autism is characterized as the lack of ability to understand and appropriately respond to social cues, and romantic and/or sexual relationships are entirely founded on, and composed of social cues and interpersonal interactions... yeah.

That's like me saying "it's easier for an illeterate guy to get a girlfriend than it is for him to read War and Peace".

Like yeah, by definition... duh.

KikiYuyu · 2024-04-15T17:51:39+00:00

This just proves how skewed people's perspectives get here. It's a joke if you think it's easier to get rich.

uglysaladisugly · 2024-04-15T16:36:33+00:00

You're vastly confounding autism with high intellectual autism.

CalligrapherSimple39 · 2024-04-15T16:38:30+00:00

I suspect was difficult too in the 1800s...

RAZBUNARE761 · 2024-04-15T16:39:57+00:00

Atleast then you could easily get a romantic relationship. Just be rich bro! Haha

There are practically zero men who would find it easier to make millions of dollars rather than find a romantic relationship. Even if you have selective standards, that is way easier than making millions of dollars.

If you have some unique gift that enables you to make millions of dollars with relative ease, even then, it will be easier to get a girlfriend if you are successfully involved in making this millions of dollars compared to finishing making millions of dollars.

Guess women did not evolve to be attracted to people who are great with computers

Tobor_Xes240 · 2024-04-15T16:55:59+00:00

Depends on the parameters of “a romantic relationship.”

Can our hypothetical STEMlord autist find a woman who will fuck him exclusively and perform emotional labor on his behalf? Absolutely. She may be conventionally unattractive, burdened with another man’s offspring, and/or originally from the Global South, but yes , she exists if he searches long enough.

stats135 · 2024-04-15T17:08:55+00:00

The "make millions" part is questionable, but the general idea that its easier to make money than to get women certainly seems valid.

I don't even think it's just for autistic men either, it's just more pronounced. There isn't what you would call a lack of posts discussing how paying for sex is often cheaper than dating. The underlying argument there is that even for the average man it might be more efficient to spend an extra few hours at work to pay and have a 100% guarantee of sex, than spend a few hours as a dancing monkey for a girl on a date, and maybe have sex.

45O2p0o2U1zf · 2024-04-15T17:42:37+00:00

I'm an autistic man who made millions of dollars. Sure enough, in tech. When I was young and broke, women wanted nothing to do with me. Now that I'm wealthy, women still want nothing to do with me; respect for keeping it real, ladies. I didn't find making money difficult, if you line up a good job and don't have a woman or children to spend money on, finances are easy. Throw some money in index funds and I became a millionaire essentially on autopilot.

The good news, such as it is, is that it's much easier to use money to buy sex than have a great marriage and start on a wealth track later in life. Being able to hire sex workers on a whim has drastically reduced how much I actually care about meeting a woman "organically." If it happens it happens, in the meantime I have friends for social activities and hookers for a sexual outlet. It's not quite what I wanted out of life, but I'm quite fortunate in most ways. Sitting on top of a money pile with no responsibilities (other than my job) and nobody to compromise with means I pretty much just do whatever I like.

MistyMaisel · 2024-04-15T17:49:17+00:00

I'm not sure why there's so much shock that being able to work with computers and get high paying jobs in industries not known for their social savvy doesn't translate to romantic success? Why are these things so often compared?

jhunter2015 · 2024-04-15T18:07:54+00:00

I personally believe this 100%. Dating is 50% out of your control whereas if you’re self disciplined you’ll go far in any career field

Dankutoo · 2024-04-15T17:11:23+00:00

For the millionth time…what is ‘autistic’? The word is way too thin to really mean anything without SUBSTANTIAL context.

I’ll say this: if your friend is ‘autistic ‘, but can hold down a professional job and make good money….then he has no excuses. If he was non-verbal living in a group home, then that would be different, obviously.

Purple_Cruncher_123 · 2024-04-15T16:43:44+00:00

Certainly, lucrative skillsets that can be acquired (STEM, finance, etc.) despite a typical neurodivergent person's lack of social acuity is more prevalent today possibly than at any other point in history. In that regards, sure. Anything you can do without needing the assistance/cooperation of someone else is going to be easier than vice versa.

But, I doubt it was sunshine and roses for the neurodivergent guys before this period. Relationships have always come tough for them - you're just getting more of their perspectives now that anyone can contribute to the internet repository. They used to be the bullied kids that people lose contact with after high school, and a few might break out big somewhere but most just sort of languish in a factory job or some other quiet corners of the working world where the lack of social skills hinder them from any lucrative careers (which used to be far more socially driven than tech-based).

SlavePrincessVibes3 · 2024-04-15T17:22:05+00:00

I'm fairly positive that it would have always been this way if women hadn't been forced into unwanted marriage by myriad means fair & foul until a few decades ago.

This doesn't really say anything other than ppl used to have greater incentives to marry ppl they otherwise wouldn't want to marry.

pop442 · 2024-04-15T17:30:08+00:00

So, I was watching this video right here.

I'm Autistic.. (youtube.com)

Most of you probably have no clue who this guy is so, to make a long story short, he's a Youtube sketch comedian who's been putting out videos for years and has a level of clout on social media as a result.

He recently put out this video discovering that he had autism. He had no clue whatsoever until he did a recent diagnosis. And, while his videos have been on the goofier/eccentric side, it was never outwardly evident.

I'm bringing this up to highlight that there's levels to autism. High functioning autistic men, for all intents and purposes, are basically like neurotypical men but with a slight twist. They might have to take some meds in contrast to the average Joe but, otherwise, they don't differ much.

Now, low functioning autism is different. If autism is incredibly impacting how a man processes information, communicates, reads body language, etc., then that's another can of words and is much harder to mask up. The best case scenario for such a man would be to pursue autistic women(high or low functioning) even though that's tough considering the major gender disparity in autism.

Both my dad and I have a strong form of ADHD. I'm not sure if ADHD falls into that spectrum(pun intended) but it's definitely affected my life both positively and negatively. My hyperactivity combined with my extroversion made me a very fun and outgoing person who was addicted to attention like nicotine for better or worse. On the other hand, I had a hard time staying focused in school and had to take meds(to the chagrin of my mother) to treat it as a kid.

Still, I maintain a decent life as an adult man with ADHD. I have a good job, have my own place, drive my own car, go to the gym, etc. But I've had some women ask me why I move around so much when I talk with them. And the crazy part is that, in my mind, I'm perfectly still when conversing but they'll swear that I move my hands a lot or pace around when talking to people lol.

Overall, because there's levels to autism, it's hard to really make such as binary claim about people on the spectrum.

ArjunSingh777 · 2024-04-15T17:45:32+00:00

Not only for autistic man. For normal average men too finds easier to achieve success or career goal and money than to get a loyal and caring women as wife or girlfriend. Today's women want money and large cock size. Only 3-4% on the Earth are there for love and other factors in marriage or intimate relationship. And please don't trust for loyalty from women in 21st century.

Safinated · 2024-04-15T17:49:51+00:00

Are all autistic men exactly the same?

harmonica2 · 2024-04-15T17:57:48+00:00

Perhaps. I'm autistic and the opposite it seems where I am doing well in my dating life, but hopeless in my career by comparison.

LimpJongUn · 2024-04-15T16:45:20+00:00

Lmao no its not

It's mostly a result of so many women being unhinged.

Glass_Bucket · 2024-04-15T18:15:32+00:00

Why is this sub so obsessed with autism? It affects like 1% of the populace

keepinitreal567 · 2024-04-15T18:35:41+00:00

I think to be honest, you need to work on yourself emotionally before you get into relationships. Because relationships are a real commitment. You can be successful in one area, but at the same time, you may need improvement in another. There are multiple issues in one must address before they can really consider looking into relationships!

Makuta_Servaela · 2024-04-15T18:38:27+00:00

Autism is a social cognitive disorder. Romantic relationships inherently require social cognition to some extent. Financial gain often can use it, but doesn't inherently need it.

MikeArrow · 2024-04-15T18:38:30+00:00

This is because most jobs are legally obligated not to discriminate based on appearance.

The dating world? Not so much.

Particular_Trade6308 · 2024-04-15T18:39:55+00:00

Doesn’t even have to be autism. I’m a minority who moved to a super-conservative white area, and it was easier to make $100k than to get a girlfriend. I went on one date in like 2 years living there.

RedstarHeineken1 · 2024-04-15T17:35:38+00:00

Academia is full of married nerds with high functioning autism… stop it
