Wonderfully rational approach and a profile!

One thing that makes me wonder - if the author is on ASD spectrum (considering such an emphasis on rationaloty), this approach may find him a partner on the spectrum as well - which is good for a relationship, but risky in terms of children genetics (children with compounded ASD traits).

I'm not saying ditch the list, I'm saying tuck it in your coat pocket and keep your eyes open. The person you end up with likely be more fantastic than your expectations, while not fitting the profile 100%. Imagine if after spawning a fruitful relationship the person finds this list, then what? It's possible that they'll dwell on these perceived shortcomings and feel inadequate, it could curtail the potential of your experiences together.

Btw. Anyone here posting silly comments, laughing off and so on please do f... Off to read how musk met his wife, no1 laughing about him? In past ads like that were normal. If you dont have nothing positive to say and can only do laughter on someone who takes 'novel'/untypical approach youre a very sad sad human being.

Healthy females of human species are generally not attracted to the weak and desperate males of human species.

Personal attacks will get you banned here, so please don't post any more of those.

Also, could you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to Hacker News generally? We're trying for a different sort of discussion here, to the extent possible. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Thanks for your input; this is a good remark!

Based on people that know me very well and have some education about ASD (and I agree with them), my ASD-like behaviors are intentionally developped, and not caused by ASD. Of course, it still remains that I have personality traits that predispose me to such behaviors, such as being highly analytical.

I don't mind whether my partner is on the ASD spectrum or not.

Man, you look great (im a man, liking women :D). Just go to local metal/rock meetup/concert and im sure you'll find your romantic partner fast :)

Thanks!

Re 2nd statement, this is a true, but it fulfils the wrong goal and has a wrong implication. I'm not trying to "find a romantic partner fast", I'm looking to find a compatible partner, and I don't think the strategy you proposed is a good one for the traits I'm looking for. Also, it seems like you're suggesting to do that instead of posting a public profile instead of in addition, so, for the explanation to be complete, it's insufficient to say why your proposed approach is good, and also requires to say why my proposed approach is bad.

Thanks for sharing; I'll reflect on this
