I prefer a woman much older than myself (and I feel hopeless). Read for details.

I'm 33, yet I prefer a woman to be 45-60s.

Based on age alone, many a woman (probably the majority) in that age range would turn me down (for that matter, even with a woman born around the same time as me, I have bad luck)

Are the odds of getting auto-rejected (solely based on age) by an older woman as high as I suspect? Are there any ways I could increase the odds of succeeding with an older woman?

Additionally, I have ASD (which leads to all sorts of peripheral problems I'm willing to elaborate on if anyone wants me to)

@PrefersOlder482617,
Most here know what Autism is about.

This site isn’t a dating website.

@Ragman,
I know this isn't a dating site. I never said I was looking to find a partner *on this site*

A common experience on online forums is for me to be told "this isn't a dating site" any time I merely *vent* about my struggles romantically/sexually. Pisses me off.

I made my thread on the relationship subforum of this site for crying out loud. My thread is totally on topic.

By the way, there's a huge difference between knowing what autism is vs living with autism. Neurotypicals will *never* be able to fathom the pure misery we go through day in and day out.

@PrefersOlder482617,
There are plenty of women in the age group you're talking about who would enjoy dating someone your age. But such a relationship is not a matter of age exclusively. There has to be more to it than simple chronology. I can't give you any tips on how to find prospective partners – evidently, from the posts I've seen on message boards, people who are looking for partners of any age are often frustrated with their inability to find compatible people. But I do think I can say that you are not alone; there are definitely women out there with whom you might find romance – there's someone out there for nearly everyone. Locating them is the real challenge.

@hightor,
Locating partners is a challenge indeed.

Another challenge (which is specific to my ASD) is being able to identify opportunities. There have probably been instances where a woman threw hints she wanted me to make a move, yet I failed to read the hints (thanks to my ASD)

@PrefersOlder482617,
Do you have close friends who might be willing to help you? Another possibility – there used to be people who sold their services as professional matchmakers. I'm thinking that's the sort of thing you need – a person, not a computer program, who can work on your behalf and narrow the field. It's like going to a travel agent instead of booking tickets, making reservations, and planning an itinerary yourself.

@hightor,
I don't really have a social circle.

Professional matchmakers are worth looking into.
