Where's the line between being the 'strong silent type' and autism?
Being able to understand and relate to others, even if one doesn't express that understanding outwardly.

1. Being able to talk like a normal person when need be vs not being able to.
2. "Strong silent types" only get any attention if they are hot as fuck or otherwise desirable - in other cases, you will just get ignored.

Strong silent types are also masculine and traditionally attractive.
If you have to ask if you're 'strong silent type', then you're not.

The creepyness

has the strong silent type ever worked? it sounds like a myth. one of my friends is good looking but quiet and he never gets anywhere with girls because you need to be able to talk. the strong silent type is just someone who is shy and beta.

So much this.
If other people call you the strong silent type, you are probably the strong silent type.
If you call yourself the strong silent type, you are probably autistic.
Do you see the difference?
What are some examples of strong silent types? What do they look like?

The first is an archetype and the other is a neurological condition.

I suppose you could call me one, and it doesn't work at all with girls, I guess. I've been rejected twice and none's just going to walk up to me and ask about me. I'd have to stop being silent and pursue them. Fuck my life.

it works but you need to learn to say the right things and appear interesting if you do speak.

I guess I'd fall into the category of the strong silent type, and I've been pretty successful with women. I'm not bad looking, which helps. My biggest short coming is I sometimes externalize my own insecurities. I apparently am a lot more interesting than I perceive myself to be.

Yes, this. The nice thing about not being a loud mouthed person, is if you're the type that chooses your words carefully, they have more weight, and everyone listens.
