Aspies For Freedom

I need to know everything before I commit to anything.
So I have some general and specific questions about internet dating sites.

How, exactly, does Aspiefriends work?  After registering, is there more space to elaborate on interests and other information beyond a simple list in the Interests box on the registration page?

I have heard about successful relationships through Aspiefriends, but has anyone here had success with Sciconnect?  It is primarily for people with scientific studies/interests/professions.

On any NT dating site, including Sciconnect, would it be better to explicitly declare my AS in my profile, or include a list of my more positive AS qualities without actually mentioning AS, in which case I would mention it later in private corespondence with the prospective women?

Are there any other Aspie-ish dating sites out there - especially those that may cater to geeks, scientists, engineers, etc.?  

Thank you.

There is also Aspie Affection (tagline: "The dating site for Aspies"):

Seriously, not just "dating sites" are good. Get known in a large enough community of like-minded individuals and things happen eventually.

Exactly. I met my husband on an INTP mailing list. In the diagnosis part of the forum there's a thread about the MBTI (a personality type thing), and it looks like most aspies are INTPs or INTJs. There was at least one diagnosed aspie on that mailing list... probably a bunch of undiagnosed ones as well.

Personally I find the concept of a dating site kinda weird... it just puts too much pressure on things when you both know you're looking for someone as opposed to just chatting to each other for fun and it accidentally turning into something. Obviously though, with a dating site you might be able to limit the geographical area whereas otherwise you might end up falling in love with someone on a different continent, like I did. Can't say I regret moving to TX though.

I think dating sites can be very useful for many Aspies.  You get to know someone before meeting them in person, so the typical Aspie social oafishness doesn't really get a chance of chasing off someone you are interested in but don't know.  By the time you meet them in person, the other person knows your good qualities and likely already knows you're socially awkward.

Take me for example.  I really couldn't get a date the "usual" way to save my life.  But I've had 3 significant online relationships, and all three of the ladies wanted to marry me at some point, so I guess there is something good about me.  (I actually did marry the last one)
I believe the two others were also Aspies.

Like everything else, however, it's not for everyone.

As to Science Connection, I did meet one of them through Science Connection.  They weren't online at the time, but we quickly started corresponding via email.

Awesome! Thanks.  
These are great answers to some of my questions, but not all.  
Keep 'em comin'.

I'd really like to meet a woman with AS as well. I'd be more than interested in doing so, and find I share a lot of interests with members here.

There are so many intelligent, interesting, beautiful and incredible (enough i's?) women (and guys) here that its easy to share interests with them. You could use any of the dating services, but still let things flow naturally. AFF is a great place to meet people as well, Gareth is absolutely right. There are a couple members here who really hit it off.

Dating sites that are based on special interests are good. I'm a political junkie and met my Aspie boyfriend on democraticsingles.com. It's often easier for interest-driven Aspies to meet on the basis of shared interests rather than just the hook-up mentality that drives many meeting sites.

I agree with you Max. You get to know the person for who they are, not like a speed dating thing or a one-night pick-up in a bar. You can share interests, comment, relate etc. Its great.
