On the other hand, they are often exceptionally good at recognizing patterns and investigating certain topics with intense focus. People with Asperger's are also vulnerable targets of [[PUA|pick up artists]] who scam them into buying into their ineffective programs, with Aspies being particularly susceptible to the "[[Attraction ambiguity problem]]".<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886918300941</ref> | On the other hand, they are often exceptionally good at recognizing patterns and investigating certain topics with intense focus.

Even Asperger's who do manage to get into relationships, possibly due to some making good [[betabux]], there is some anecdotal evidence that these relationships are often unstable, leading e.g. to some post-[[wall]] [[foid]] hating on her sperg husband and write an entire website on the ordeal titled "Heartless Aspergers".<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190430010937/http://heartlessaspergers.com/</ref> The author conducted a survey collecting opinions of 43 women on their sperg husbands, many of which have been affirmative. | |||
Here are a few quote from said disgruntled [[wife|wives]] (also good evidence of [[female solipsism]]): | |||
{{quote|After 23 years of marriage to an AS husband who is a [[betabux|good provider]] and [[nice guy|basically decent person]], all I can say is “DON’T DO IT. Run, run, run as fast as you can. You may love this person, but unless you also despise yourself, you need to leave the relationship as far behind you as possible.”}} | |||
And: | And: | ||
{{auote|What do we do about aspie men? Do we just name and shame them on a website so other women can avoid? And what about the issue of being a man enough to confess you are an aspie, on the first or second date? Shouldn’t that be mandatory? This is a psych condition that badly hurts women like me, after all. I think we have a right to know.”}} | |||
{{quote|Aspergers men are a nightmare. I accidentally married someone with AS. And I stress ACCIDENTALLY, as I have seen the devastation that is “being” with one of these people. They should come with a warning and anyone displaying these behaviors should be tested in school so that us normal people don’t get trapped in something that ruins our lives. Yeah they’re all different yeah yeah, I know, some are worse than others. No one can be happy with these people. NO ONE. WHATSOEVER. Seriously. My life is devastated from one of these un-empathetic, desolate wasteland-of-emotions people. Learn to think like them? F*** that. That’s impossible and would require losing most of the characteristics that make us human, that allow us to connect to others.}} | |||
