| To an extent. Some people care. Some people will like you no matter what you look like. Some people won't like you even if you look good. And it's not just what other people think of you, but also what you think of them and if they're a fit for you. We don't have to be perfect or obsess over looks. ... |

| I have different problems than I used to. In my 20's, my issues were social skills, I had difficulty pleasing other people and I wanted other people to like me. And I've improved a lot in that regard. But now, in my 30's, it's not just about if they like me, but do I like them. Do they have a lot in... |

I'm not scared of him.
I'm scared of the 80 million Americans that believe every word he says. |

To be honest, I'm not sure it's easy to make friends for anyone.
Sure, being nuerotypical may help you in terms of being "agreeable" and pleasing others.
But in terms of finding people you have a strong connection with and a lot in common with, it's hard for everyone. |

All of them are bad.
All "diets" work essentially the same way. Calorie deficit via eating less.
You can lose weight with any food if you're at a calorific deficit. |

I gave you a lot of constructive advice, and outlined a lot of things you could be doing better. You overlooked all of that and just replied the other person.
It seems like you just want to vent rather than improve. |

If they decline, I'd say something like "All good, whenever you're free let me know". Then stop contacting them, and just move on and talk to other girls.
Leave the ball in their court. If they reach out to you, cool. If not, keep moving on. |

| This post comes off as really judgmental. Judging people for having felonies or addictions in the past. Judging people for having psychiatric diagnoses, on an online forum about neurodiverges. Then classifying them into myers-briggs types, and judging them based on that when you barely know them. Ju... |

| There are pros and cons, but I like dating apps because you get to learn about them from their profile. You get to see their views on politics, religion, kids, what they're looking for, what they do in their free time, and if there's an incompatibility, you know then instead of weeks or months of da... |

I'm generally fine with it.
Though if I'm out with people either of us know (i..e friends,family, coworkers, etc), I'd be tasteful with it. |

| If people are worried about being labeled as a creep, maybe talking to women in a friendly way/getting to know them as people should be considered rather than hitting on them. Just a thought. Yeah. It helps to not get invested in a particular end result (i.e. them dating you). You don't even know t... |

| This is not only a small sample, but also a biased sample. Reddit is disproportionately young men. Also, men with relationships (or active dating lives) are less likely to spend time on forums discussing these kinds of topics. It helps to have a real social life outside and not rely on reddit for da... |
