BIO:
I turn 40 on February 14, 2026, never got any education whatsoever despite being in school due to abusive childhood and constant changes in medication as well as hospitalizations multiple times a year.

I never had any friends, I never had a girlfriend, or have ever even been around a girl much less hugged by one. I have been preached to by my family that I am pretty much the runt of the family, the failure, the trash.

My mother is always the one who showed me any kind of support but god took her from me years ago just so I would suffer as I am now.

Even god thinks I am trash and nothing anyone says will change my mind on that.
I live with my loyalist trump worshiping father because I cannot afford the $2000-$4000 rent in my area, and I have zero transportation except for when he needs to go somewhere.

I am not allowed to have any friends over under any circumstances because he is a hoarder and doesn't want people seeing his house like this and especially if they don't worship trump they are not allowed on his property.

I am anti-trump for moral & political reasons but am allowed here so long as I agree give up my freedom of expression and speech.

So I can't have people over, I have no transportation other than my super nice bike, but i don't know the area well enough to go far, have no bike locks and live in a not so good area and I'm very unfit, meaning its more likely ill throw up trying to ride my bike, not I am not overweight, just have horrific cardio.

I was very persistent on dating apps and tried messaging as many girls as possible with the friendliest greeting i could i guess i was maybe too socially awkward on many apps because i god banned on one then another very quickly then got an email from match group directly informing me that i was being banned from match group apps as a whole.

All I want in life is to have someone to share life with, to enjoy Christmas with, someone to make me feel like I'm not the worthless trash my family has made me believe i am all my life and is still what they call me now.

I just want to be happy and being alone, single, to me is worse than death.

How can I find someone who will accept me and love me the way I am, someone to tell me I'm not worthless, how can i find someone to make me feel like I'm valued by at least someone i can spend what life i have left with?

Hello. I am concerned about how much personally identifying information you've set out there. Look after yourself lad!! Consider taking off the full name and post code and birth date.

ChatGPT input:
"How would a 40 year-old heterosexual man on the autism spectrum with no social skills, no employment, no education, no driver's license and no dating experience or history of having a romantic partner, be able to start dating?
Hobbies and interests include
I love camping I love fishing I love being outdoors I love boating I love hiking cosplaying Renaissance festival video games movies.
My location is Gonzaless, Louisiana, US and I don't have reliable independent transport."

ChatGPT output:
"I’m going to answer this practically, locally, and without sugar-coating, because your situation needs realism more than encouragement slogans.
You can start dating — but not by trying to enter the normal dating pipeline. You have to use environment + structure + honesty, and you must work around transport limits, not pretend they don’t matter.
First: a reality reset (important)
Dating is not blocked because you like the wrong things.
Your hobbies are good hobbies.
Dating is blocked because:
you are socially isolated
you don’t appear regularly in shared spaces
you lack independent transport
dating apps heavily penalize inexperience + instability
So the solution is proximity + familiarity, not charm.
Where you actually are (this matters)
You’re in Gonzales, not NYC or LA.
That means:
fewer niche dating events
more driving-dependent social life
smaller social pools
So your strategy must be hyper-local and repeatable.
Step 1: Dating does NOT start with “dates”
It starts with being seen repeatedly in the same places.
Because you don’t have reliable transport, your dating radius is basically:
Gonzales
parts of Prairieville
Baton Rouge only if reachable by bus or ride-share
You are not trying to meet “women”.
You are trying to become a known, safe, familiar human.
Step 2: Use your hobbies the right way
Your interests are actually well-suited for non-dating social entry.
Outdoor hobbies (camping, fishing, hiking)
These work only in organized settings.
Good options:
local fishing clubs
park volunteer days
outdoor cleanup or trail maintenance groups
state park programs
Why this works:
no flirting expected
shared task focus
conversation is optional
people respect quiet competence
Avoid:
showing up alone hoping to meet someone
cold approaches on trails or docks
Renaissance festivals & cosplay (this is a real asset)
This is one of your best entry points.
Why:
social rules are explicit
costumes create conversation hooks
many attendees are neurodivergent or adjacent
dating norms are looser and slower
Look for:
regional Ren Faire Facebook groups
costuming workshops
volunteer or setup crews
Cosplay lets you exist socially without small talk.
Video games & movies
These work only in groups, not solo.
Good:
board game cafés
tabletop RPG nights
movie clubs
library-hosted game nights
Avoid:
Discord-only interaction if you want real dating
competitive or hostile gaming spaces
Step 3: Transport reality (don’t ignore this)
This is critical.
Without a car:
many women will not come to you
you must choose walkable or bus-reachable locations
consistency matters more than distance
What helps:
public transit routes you can rely on
rideshare occasionally, not every time
being upfront: “I don’t drive, but I’m consistent and punctual”
Do not apologize for it endlessly. State it once, calmly.
Step 4: Where dating can realistically happen for you
❌ Not recommended
Tinder / Bumble / Hinge (stacked against you)
bars
speed dating
cold approaches
✅ Realistic options
1. Neurodivergent-friendly dating apps
These allow explicit disclosure.
Examples:
Hiki
Special Bridge
Facebook neurodivergent dating groups
Your profile should be:
honest
calm
interest-focused
NOT self-critical
2. Repeated social environments
This is where most autistic adults meet partners.
Examples:
weekly Ren Faire prep groups
recurring game nights
volunteer crews
consistent hobby meetups
Dating emerges after familiarity, not before.
Step 5: How to ask someone out (scripted, direct)
When you’ve spoken to someone multiple times:
“I’m autistic and I’m very direct. I’ve enjoyed talking with you and I’d like to get to know you one-on-one. Would you be interested in something low-key, like coffee or a walk?”
This works better than flirting because:
it removes ambiguity
it signals respect
it filters out incompatible people early
A “no” here is not rejection of you — it’s mismatch.
Step 6: What kind of relationship to expect first
Be honest with yourself:
Your first relationship is likely to be:
slow
structured
explicitly negotiated
not instantly sexual
possibly with someone also unconventional
That is normal for late-start autistic adults.
Step 7: What matters more than dating right now
This is not a moral judgment — it’s practical.
Things that dramatically improve dating odds:
predictable weekly routine
a role (volunteer, hobby regular, helper)
visible consistency
emotional stability (not perfection)
Dating follows visible participation in life.
Bottom line (no fluff)
You are not disqualified. You are mispositioned.
Dating for you will come from:
repeated presence
structured environments
explicit communication
niche communities
patience measured in months, not weeks."

except im banned by dating apps or at least those owned by matchgroup because i was evedently too presistant or whatever. This is what makes me wish androids were real, since human women require more than some men can give, or maybe i should just do what so many of my family members are telling me to do and use my fathers gun on myself, seems like the only realistic option at this point.

Did you read my comment? It says dating apps like those owned by Match Group are actually a bad idea for you. You're better off establishing a regular presence in a group or groups that pertain to your hobbies and interests, and hoping to meet someone that way.

Do you have access to a dog?
Walking a dog one has an organic socialiser on 4 legs, cardio and a friend for life.

If I lived in town I'd start a free dog walking service for seniors.
Chick magnets that someone else feeds and good will from everyone.
