He may not have been a very moral human being, but he sure as hell was a Great NT. A dashing mix of prodigious intelligence, social manipulation, and charisma who became well known almost exclusively on the strength of these qualities.
Eh - I'd still prefer to have actually achieved something real...
I strongly think manipulating is a horrible quality of a man or a woman.
Yuk!
NO!!!
Dont you EVER start to even think of going there!!!
Its a trap.
Its better to win the hart of a female by personal charm,indeed!!!
However Mother Teresa was a great woman.
Good.
*sigh releaved*
Its natural to be envious of sucseed people,but then you may start to measure sucsess in a little different terms.
How many wimmen would Casanova catch by just beeing himself and not manipulate?!
I kind of like how some of my NT co-workers can seem professional and/or cool in a professional, social, or in-between situation.
I am sure the looks help too.
Call me wierd,but I dont think looks has much too do with it.
i think if someone tries too do their best to scare people of when it comes to looks and behavour,thats different of course,but dont think thats very usual.Even then,some see right through that and in to the core of the soul.
The illusion of success.
Short term and shallow, and based primarily on bad chat up lines (let's face it.)
In the modern day and age, someone like Casanova would really just piss women off.
I think he would have used his prodigious, flexible NT intelligence to adapt to the modern standards of attracting women, and probably be just as successful.
To the OP query, nein. A creature so blind and petty is something to be pitied for its lack of prescience and guarded against, nothing more. Humans are not things regardless of how the hardware is optimized, or does the error in your acknowledged reality factor prevent you from recognizing that women are people too? If so I'm glad you can't interface with them successfully to be honest.
I have worked to increase my ability to adapt successfully to deal with situations, but someone like that is nothing more then a short sighted and dangerous fool. Any thorough analysis would have shown it to involve minimal short term returns with great eventually unavoidable consequences, just like drugs.
I would suggest you get your head out of the clouds. Ignoring reality doesn't solve anything, it just insures when things blow up you haven't done anything to prepare and so you simply catch the full brunt of it. Nevermind not being able to diffuse things before hand. The whole point of such a relationship involves basically finding and interfacing with someone you can spend the rest of your life with. Just like a house such a thing requires a strong foundation, because humans universally don't simply just naturally interface perfectly with each other, certain highly transient phenomena aside.
I do not wish for those skills, at all.

Well call me shallow, but I beg to differ.
Go here:

And you will surely see what I mean. And how horribly depressing it is to know that you couldn't
possibly be further away from the kind of NT charisma/skill exhibited by this man.
Sometimes my AS just really gets me down. Sometimes Asperger is really torturous; most of us AS men unable to connect with even
one woman, of any kind, and then to look at the furthest reaches of NT brilliance throughout recorded history is quite polarizing. I recommend not thinking about the "Great NTs" due to a destructive effect on self-esteem. Wanting things you can never have is destructive.
I think the key part here is at the end
Unusual for his time, Casanova was egalitarian towards the sexes.[citation needed] He accepted women as his equals and was non-judgmental about their behaviour, according them the same status to do as they wished as he did men.
Stop thinking of women as different and start thinking of everyone as different - you already treat us girls here the same as the guys, so you already have the most important trait, (an aspie trait) to treat everyone the same.

Hmm, for some reason I can't quite tease out what you're trying to say, or how it applies to my original post. Honestly. Some days my reading comprehension is worse than others, for example 2 days ago I might have understood this! But today, alas, I am lost.

Let me put it another way.
On this site you treat everyone the same but it sounds like in real life you see women as something separate.
You want to be like casonova so that women like you, well I think the key trait you need is to treat each person you meet on their own merits, something you already do online. Forget all his other traits especially the manipulation one. And don't worry about intelligence or other skills most women aren't really worried about that they just want to feel secure and respected.
Thanks for the explanation, I get it now
