I am extremely comfortable (high 6 fig in big city) and I still can’t make friends or get a gf. And I’m almost 28

Literally out-earn majority of my peers.. and I can’t do make friends, majority is inheritance so I just have a bunch of free time, I guess money can’t even halo my autism
The two guys I know irl are neets and don’t have these issues

Any suggestions? Do I just rent a friend at this point? Shit is pretty grim

Pay me to life coach you
Just kidding. What’s your go to for meeting new people?
>>
>>34267478
haha I'm poor and feel the same.
uh, maybe play a really long game like Skyrim. I wish I had the spare time but I'm too busy dying of diseases I can't pay the cure for. just game and don't bring this up.

Buy a personality

>>34267478
why would making money help you make friends?

>>34267478
Change your people, places, and things.

Pay me, I'll be your friend. At least I won't be lying to you "ooooh you have such a great personality" nah man I'm here because you buy me free stuff.

For real though, I don't think there's any shame in buying people. Your wealth is your biggest advantage but you don't want to use it to achieve your goals "because reasons". Go to a poor country and buy a friend.

For real though, friendship across social classes is very difficult because it always leads to awkward situations. Like, you'll never understand the joy of seeing butter on discount, and your friend won't be able to just casually go to Himalayas for a weekend. Knowing this, I highly recommend you to stick to similar high-earners, unless you want to be someone's sugar daddy. And to be clear, per previous paragraph I don't see anything wrong with that, it's just that it's not everyone's cup of tea, and it's a difficult dynamic to maintain without either side feeling bad about it.

And besides this, friendship has always been very difficult. My advice is to do things where you naturally meet lots of people. Invite people to do stuff. Yes, most of this time will suck. Yes, most people are idiots at best and snakes at worst. But the only way to mine gold is to dig through dirt.

It's generally hard to find friends as an adult as most people shift their focus into finding dates instead. That said, you can make friends via meetups, classes, and volunteering.

As for dates, you can find dates in the same manner too.

i just turned 35.
i make 160k -ish.
i still have no friends.
still no gf.
"family" is dysfunctional/neglectful.

all i do is work, come home, listen to music and watch twitch.

just sayin, it doesn't get better homie.

Hire me, I'll be your friend (and you can give me financial advice in return, not money)

>>34267478
Just find a place to hang out where people share your interests.

What do you do for a living OP?
I tend to meet most of my friends through work these days, but I'm blue collar so the culture tends to have a lot of comradery. Have you considered taking supplementary classes to fill in your time, or doing group hobbies?
>>
>>34267478
You're just ugly and autistic, just like most big tech losers.

Tell me more

>>34267478
Your money should be less on your mind
>>
>>34267478
Clearly it’s more about who you are than what you have
Focus on improving that instead

I can sum it up as "trauma bonding with the boys"

You go through shit together and have some really bad days, but the guys you're with make it worth doing. There's also the silent understanding of the resentment around political correctness; we can still call eachother retards and have laugh while also holding respect for people who are legitimately delayed. A lot of guys are so used to working with new people that they just flat out skip the awkward friendly phase and jump straight to being themselves at their weirdest, so you learn quick who you gel with.

I was very introverted and very nerdy before picking up a wrench, admittedly I still am but blue collar work really helped me come out of my shell. It woke up a switch in my brain, now I can turn the charisma on whenever I feel like it. I don't plan to fuck around with sparks gears and crawlspaces forever but I wouldn't trade away my time doing it for anything.
