He honestly needs his own "Born Sexy Yesterday" type category, "Born Autistic and Nobel" or something...

A Blank Canvas male who seems like they can he manipulated and doesn't seem like they're going to be shitty or violent if you get caught.

All these women were using him, even Tasha was in some kind of horny drug scenario (although there was some confession of feels after). But yeah, he seems... like he wasn't the active participant in any of these courtings.

Less a "Player", more a convenient NPC, and quite often an emotional victim. Sorry these women saw you as someone who can be used Data.

“Thank you for your concern but I am not capable of being hurt emotionally as I do not have emotions.” - Data, probably

isn't he one of the more empathetic characters in the show? like I know he's a robbit but his outsider perspective only makes him curious and unassuming of the living characters. I think women keep jumping him because those are safe qualities in a partner

As an autist in a sales job: One does not need to experience emotions to anticipate the needs of others.

I'm also autistic. There's a lot more of the thing they call emotion going into a process like that than we anticipate. But since we're raised and socialized in a world that wants to comprehend emotions about as well as it wants to comprehend us, we tend to be told things like we don't actually have feelings.

But I digress, there is a wide gulf between any given points of the autism spectrum.
