Yup,
Religious women may be easier pickings. :mrgreen:
My first "girlfriend" was driven by compassion, through her religious indoctrination.

I would also recommend hobby courses and interest groups such as logic classes, bushwalking or arts and crafts, etc, after the CV event.
In the past, I have recommended local autism groups.

Joining an activity which is of interest to "you" is a possible win-win situation. :wink:


Hobby courses are expensive. I’d rather spend $300 on console I can use for years then on one pot making class.


I totally agree.
A console is a much better investment than an erky perky girl-germ infested girlfriend. :mrgreen:
Much, much, much cheaper also. 8O


Eh I didn’t say that. But paying $300 for hobby class won’t lead to a gf. Any women there would likely see I work min wage and pass. So I’d be throwing money away.


I see you have a defeatist attitude.
*That's* the spirit! :mrgreen:

Gurlies like to dance.
Have you considered investing in a pink tutu and white pantyhose?
I don't think that costs anywhere near $US300. :scratch:

Ballet is an excellent hobby but it's not cheap. Imagine having to buy special shoes that wear out really quickly.

I rock climb.

There are other activities that don't cost a lot on money.
Bushwalking, for instance.
Join Extinction Rebellion and wear some "Puppy Dog" eyes, while saving the planet.
The progressive women luv that sort of thing. :mrgreen:

Or, as 51(?) said, help out at a soup kitchen for homless people.
Easy peasy. :wink:


I live in real world everything cost money. Nothings free.
I’m in a city without a car(cost money) I can’t get to the forest to bush walk.

There’s no volunteer work in my city and to get to the next city takes hours and cost money. I’m not going spend hours on bus to volunteer and cost me money.


You don't have to be religious to enjoy the company of religious groups.
Please don't tell me your area is religion free. 8O :mrgreen:

You get a lot of friendly attention if you attend religious gatherings as "non-believer but searching" :roll:

A building where random people gather for services is not where you get attention. You get attention attending groups, asking questions, offering help and then honestly admitting you're not really a believer.
But if these kind of activities don't seem fun to you, look elsewhere. Last time we were talking, you admitted you like trekking and other excursions to the nature. While now we're still in the lockdowns, I still think a trip or two after the regulations ease would be fun and great occasion to meet people who would simply like you.

If you aproach a religious goup and are honest about having social anxiety issues, which you want to overcome, I doubt they would be unsympathetic.
I guess you missed the point where I suggested Sly should "walk before he runs" by establishing friendships to desensitise himself from his shyness? 8O

BTW,
It has become clear that one of the biggest problems Sly has is due to where he lives.
He has very limited options there.

I indeed didn't notice you suggested it.
Otherwise, yes, obviously you're right.

A bit awkward walking up to a group and saying:
"High, I have social anxiety and would like to get over it, with your help", for sure. :wink:

Do they have any activity groups?
Have you asked?
You could talk to a minister/pastor privately for advice about participating in events if they have any.

On,y groups around here are for kids.

I don’t own a car. I haven’t been to nature in 4 years or so and as long as I don’t have any friends willing to take me I’ll never see nature again.

I think most of us just don't want to date an angry potato, no so much about having aspergers.

I can't drive.
Indeed, having no friends is a problem - so we all suggest you where to look for some.

That's disappointing to hear. If we weren't on opposite sides of the continent I'd offer.

Generally speaking, men need cars to be even considered a relationship material - here’s a taboo secret: in many places, the lack of car is even worse than the lack of own place.
Without a car you can hardly even meet and date even if you get the chance.

I guess materialistic BS is to masculinity as sexism was to feminism.

Whatever, I have everything & seemingly, nobody.

The bold explains why this exists. Most people don't want a partner they can hardly ever see.

Observe the passing couple cars; who’s the one usually driving 90% of cases?

Most people don't want an atmosphere they can hardly ever see through either.

We need more bikes & better architecture in cities. This is obviously a groupthink problem in many ways.
