Why you can't get a date

Post Reply New Topic

No. My male friend thinks Kim Kardashian is ugly. The photos above represent the average ideal man and women with respect to the preferences of the sample population. There will be people in that sample population who's personal tastes differ.

The usual issue is that the responsibility falls on the wife to do that. But, we ate much better when I took over that job. Much more economically as well. While I bought more expensive food, I cut the waste way down, so the grocery bill was actually a lot lower.

If cooking is something you are good at, perhaps this is an undervalued skill that you could use to get a better job. And something you need to advertise to potential partners.

I completely agree; I don't think I could get in to a relationship with a guy who can't pull their own weight, either. But I might also be wrong; for all I know I could one day fall in love with an unemployed guy in a wheelchair or something... if that happens then I suppose I wouldn't mind being the one who handles most of the expences as long as I have a salary big enough to do it.

No, that's not what I meant at all and you simply assumed that by Tue qprd expect.

I meant when two people are attracted to each other but one person still rejects or breaks up with the other person.

Chronos said it best, if she fell in love withaan and he tonher she said she wouldn't care about how much money he makes.

Relationships are about equality, compromise.

No one here should have to make all the effort to change themselves to fit into the NT lifestyle for a partner while your partner didn't try to understand you or your mental health issues.

That's an imbalanced relationship.

People nowadays are selfish and unwilling to put any work into a relationship anything less than perfect.

If I has a girlfriend I would make the effort to improve myself and life and understand her and put as much work into it as possibe but I am.not on the same lvel as an average NT.

If she wanted to be with me I expect her to.meet me.halfway, try and ubderstand me and my issues otherwise she is not relationship material for me.

Well my comment was more for everyone, and it occurs that it has to be a good majority otherwise this wouldn't be an issue that exists. Trouble is I think some of it has to do with what has been expected of women, like many have been socialized to believe they need a successful man to take care of them. Granted there are some just over-all nasty women with that mentality, but I think for some its been engrained by parents/grandparents/relatives that, that is what they are supposed to value in a man. I mean even my grandmother tried to convince me of of things like that.

If you were well off you may have a larger pool, but then you might get a gold digger...

I have never called you lazy. Locked into your thinking, yes, and I know that ASD does that. But not lazy. I know how hard you all work to get through a single day.

You may never change the ability to earn more money, but you do have the ability to figure out if there is some positive to bring to a relationship that does not involve money. I've tried to lead you there, to get you to self-asses and find more assets, but you are locked into your thinking. If anyone should be ignoring statistics, it should be you. You aren't a statistic.

Perhaps because you were good at school you might make a great home school parent. Or someone really good at helping their partner with research, and in that way supporting their career. Brainstorm. What kinds of things have others looked to you for, ever? If I knew more about you, I might brainstorm better.

I've helped my son work around his disabilities. Yes, he has some. But he also has strengths, and he has successfully held several different jobs. His whole life we've been working on the "maximize your strengths, minimize your disabilities" game. He also grew up with a much more severely affected peer, and the community has been doing the same for that young man. It isn't about working harder, but navigating smarter. Do you have anyone in real life who can help you with that? Figuring it out on your own may not be realistic.

I don't know if you can get there. I don't know what is meant to be for you. I do know you can't let some article allow you to feel its all hopeless.

Everyone has different wants, needs and expectations. And that is usually OK.

We all just have to find the person who fits in with ours.

I've seen some solid matches among people who never would seem like an obvious candidate to anyone else. That's why I tell people on this board to never give up. Just because a person may be looking for a needle in haystack doens't mean they will never find the needle. Fate does what it is going to do. One just can't know.

I may never find that needle. Sometimes I think my needs are too specific.

I can get along with most people but I can only be really relaxed around a small fraction of people. That's my needle, finding a girl I feel really relaxed around and she with me.

Fate may be planning to screw me over.

I think it is pretty obvious that Sly is right in that women of his social class are really looking to move up--they need more financial security and will do things like having a kid with an older guy having a mid life crises to get child support payments. And this isn't going to get fixed by government as long as we have a guy in the White House who wants cheap labor for his businesse even it means throwing ethics under a bus. There are so many bodies under that bus that it isn't going anywhere.
So, this means he really needs to be looking higher or lower. It is easier for a guy to aim lower, as this is in line with social norms. Perhaps someone on permanent disability, with no prospects of ever having even a part time job. Maybe someone who does part time volunteer work. There are different aspects to permanent disability. There are really smart people who have either anxiety disorders or schizophrenia. And you have people with learning disorders. Yes, there are non-verbal Aspies who would like to be in a relationship. As well as various physical disabilities, such as blindness or the inability to walk. The spectrum of disability is huge.

Aiming higher would be easier if you were able to cultivate a useful talent or gift.

If yiu can afford such things yiu could still afford them after.
What I mean is a woman who can’t pay for such things alone and she will only date a guy who can make buying them possible. Reality is they want to live boyond their current lifestyle which is the only reason to want s guy who makes as much or more then them. I have stuff too I don’t require women have the tuff I have. I’d share my stuff with them gladly.

As for medication was she yiur gf? Do you love her did you want her to not get sick or die? I think not. Or you’d been fine getting her medication she needed and her yiu if the situation was reversed. I don’t have much money far less then yiu but I’d buy my gf medication she needed if I could afford it and she couldn’t. I’d probably y her a phone if she didn’t have one, it’s probably be cheap. Reality is I’d probably spend every scent I have and make on a gf if I had one but it’s not enough for most women they want someone who can spend far greater every month on them.
I see cute clothes at work all the time and shoes. I’d spoil a gf as much as I could on my income. Wouldn’t think twice about it. I simply can’t afford to spend $50+ a night multiple nights a week to eat out. Do single women spend $300+ a week on dinner food ? Why do they expect guys to? My monthly food budge is $100 blows my mind what people spend to eat out, it could feed so many starving people. I eat out like 1-5 times a year. It’s good food and all but $25 a person is a lot for a single meal. And I usually go to the same place, cause what if I go else where an doay that and the food is awful

I cook from boxes and recipes. I can’t even remember the pancake recipe so I wrote it down.
Im not a great cook, I guess I’m just not lazy. I make most my families food even if it’s just sliding a pizza in the oven.<- making dinner can be that simple why can’t most guys do it? I buy frozen chicken and make rice in my rice cooker. I can cook from raw chicken but it takes longer, is messier, and has more waste for someone who dislikes fat on their meat. I make hamburgers and homemade fries too.even bought s fri cutter though I can’t eat them anymore.
I doubt women would care that I can cook unless they burn everything they try to make. I recently got my grilled cheese to 50\50 burnt and good. Far better then burning 100% of them. Anyways I imagine such women just eat out or do TV dinners unless they burn them too and prefer a guy with income rather then one who can cook.

Why does it matter. You’re already paying the bills. 0.o will your income suddenly decrease upon getting a bf? No so you’re have the same house, same bills, same income, but now you’re have love and companionship, so unless you want a bf so you can have nicer things and better services I don’t get why him needing to pay half the bills you already pay matters. Surely I’d say he pays 1/4 of them your paying less and now have more disposable income then yiu did previously what is so wrong with that?

True. I’m spending a lot of money on gym and clothes, starving myself, and going to the gym giving up all my free time so I can lose weight and be thin all so I have a slightly higher chance to be with women who are fat and have no interest in being healthier or getting thin.

That’s what I’ve been saying but it’s the majority of women who been socialized as you say it into thinking that. I watched Disney as a kid, I watched movies and shows and they all push the idea of women need a well off man.

Oh if she pretended to love me, cuddles and sex I’d gladly take a gold digger if I had the income. I have no problem spending large parts of my wealth on a gf and wife. Could be the society brainwashing but it’s probably just I’m a giver and like making people happy. Men complain about their spending on their wife’s and gf all the time, they also have to ask wife/gf permission to spend their money that they labored away for lol. So in the future men won’t want to or like spending money on women. If I won the lottery I’d buy a gf a car and fancy things. So I’d probably get a gold digger but even they might reject me . If I win the lottery I’m going seclude myself for protection, cause I’d get lovey with the first woman I find attractive who showed me interest. Going buy me a house, a 300,000 Porsche, truck , lots of guns, and keep to myself. Yiu can have groceries delivered to you now. Probably only go out to go on drives and delivery money to my friends. If I win enough I plan to give my friends and family 5,000 a month each so they can live easier life’s. I only have 5 friends so it’s not slot. Otherwise I won’t talk to them or leave my property. I’d alsp set up a organization to build small house communities for low income and homeless people, so they can live like humans again, suppose I’d have to have one of my friends run it.

Yeah man.

You said that girl liked you back but rejected you anyway because your job wasn't good enough doe expensive vacations.

If she really cared about you she would have tried to make a relationship work.anywaay and meet you halfwaynby accepting you have a lower income and perhaps both of you learning ways to save your money better so that you could both still save up for a vacation but a less expensive one maybe at a nice coastal city instead of a big expensive trip to Paris or something.

That doesn't mean she has to be with you but it does mean she wasn't relationship material for you anyway if she decided she didnt like you the second you weren't perfect in some way (money/weekly income).

I’m at the bottom. There’s no women lower then me. Women and men are different levels. A unemployed lazy woman is higher level then a guy working min wage. So in order to date down I’d have to be making 18 an hour full time.even then i dont know if many women would be interested. Sucks not even being good enough for disabled women or homeless unemployed women
