This person is a high-functioning aspie [1] who is well-groomed and relatively attractive. One interpretation of this post is that a good dating site aimed specifically at people on the spectrum may be able to charge its users substantial amounts of money compared to what you can charge neurotypicals because perhaps people on the spectrum recognize more accurately in dollar terms how valuable it is to solve the partnership problem and have less mystical thinking around it.

I have had a lot of trouble in my teens getting dates. I was weird as fuck. Still am lol.
But it very much turned into a plus in my adult hood. As you said, I’m not physically unattractive. Especially when I eat right, work out, put in some time into my appearance.
More importantly, I’m quite smart, can be very passionate, exciting, adventurous, and super loving.
I had major body issues in early adulthood, thinking I couldn’t find love because I was short or didn’t have a six pack, or whatever. Over the years, I learned that doesn’t matter all that much. I mean being 6’ looking like Matt Bomer does not hurt your chances hahahaha. But my looks are not so much a limiting a factor as other things.
In my last relationship, I was more or less dating the girl of my dreams in all respects. She was hot. She was passionate. She was exciting. Smart. Creative. Sex life was beyond anything I imagined. I lost my front tooth in our relationship. It didn’t change our sex life one bit (well it did actually but that’s a longer article haha).
So I very much proved to myself that past a certain point, if someone likes you and is physically attracted to you, it doesn’t matter all that much how many “packs” your abs have. It helps…but it’s not a pre-requisite. There are lots and lots of other things you can optimize for that are more bang for the buck.
As for a dating site for aspies - absolutely. Would love that. One of the biggest challenges is explaining to someone why I am the way I am. If ppl already know…that saves a bunch of time and heartache.
