Why are autistic men so often seen as unlovable and low value by women?

It's not that women think they're unlovable.

People in general don't understand them and don't know how to accommodate them socially.

Autistic people tend to be too honest about things and it can be very hurtful to the person they are communicating with.

It's hard for the Autistic person because they don't realize they hurt the persons feelings or didn't pick up on a social cue.

Autistic adult have it harder because it's not like when they were a kid and the kids have filter and tell you to shut up.

Adults are more polite and won't point out the obvious to you because they don't want to be rude. But for the Autistic person that hurts them more because they can't learn from their mistakes they are making when interacting with women or people in general.

Because many women expect men to read their emotions and intentions without direct communication. If you can't decode those subtle emotional shifts, you're often dismissed and overlooked

NOT unlovable, but "tough to understand" at times bc they don't share in the standard ways that women are used to. But some women like that and are fine with it.

Because they think differently and behave differently to social male norms. And some are just frankly annoying to deal with

What's wrong with thinking differently? do we all need to be robots?

[Agape93]

Nothing. It just man's that since you think differently, thy won't understand you. Ignorance causes distaste and fear.

Well, one reason could be not understanding the struggles of autism.

Also, women look confidence as a positive trait in a partner.

[Asker]

Wdym autistic men can be confident?

[Abbycado]

Do you see the irony here, anon?

[Asker]

No 😅

[Kvass]

Because we don't want to mother a grown man who can't handle adult life

[Asker]

I can tell your not a doctor.

For the same reason you don't go to a grocery store and buy bruised produce

[Asker]

Taste the same just doesn't look the same

[In_Trance]

But for the most part, nobody wants blemished goods

Women value stuff like empathy which autistic men are ill-equipped to provide.

[Asker]

? I can tell you kw a lot about them

[Twalli]

Because they don't express much emotion or empathy. They're also bad at reading social cues.
