I don't have access to the types I am interested in, and by the time I have that possibility I will be too old.

Im autistic and gave up on relationships. Only gay men showed any interest in me but im not gay. Being a 26yo man its kinda time to move on. I have been trying to better myself and approach girls since i was 19. All for nothing

I never gave a shit about having a GF until I was in my 30s and now I can't stop thinking about girls and I wish I could go back.

>Being a 26yo man its kinda time to move on
im slightly older and kind of de-facto accepted that there isn't a lot of ways to meet women as a suburban autistic guy,im not even the type to really give any shit about the romantic stuff, if I want to have sex ill just fap, its not like a lot of women are particular upset people like me arent seeking them out anyways

>>83540651
ive always been like this and have had several long term gfs.
at the very least put yourself out there, have standards and be realistic. if you meet someone and it works out, great.
if not, whatever. but do keep trying. and don't settle.

its a really common cope to say that I am happier alone, because being in a good relationship really is the best feeling in the world. but the problem is that social media unilaterally fucked society. everyone is shallow as fuck now.

the only women I'm attracted to are women on the spectrum because they tend to be less superficial. and women on the spectrum are like a nocturnal species that you only encounter organically in the wild. I had one for a while but she was unhappy and eventually cheated on me.

also gay men actually care to hold a conversation despite having such low standards that they'll literally suck off a stranger on facebook dating. because of hoeflation, women who are literally my league (I'm fat and below average) will just straight up ignore me or match and act completely uninterested.

same bro. but yet at this age they're pretty much all single moms and I really don't want kids.

28 is the operative word in that image macro. Once you get old enough you kinda get over the absolute angst torture session that is being 12-22. I'm not saying it's dignified or anything but when I turned 24 I realized that it wasn't like a spiked ceiling was lowering to crush me anymore. Maybe my frontal lobe finally finished cooking then

>put yourself out there
How? Please I'm pretty stuck on how to navigate society and dating in 2026. Starting from zero with no friends, coworkers who dislike me and ignore me

I signed up to dating apps a few times but my photo selection is very limited to just selfies of me in different outfits taken around the house. Also used the incognito feature so I'm not visible to coworkers. And I never got any matches doing that.

>>83540651
Damn, that picture is literally me. I've lived like that since 2011 or so. It's a peaceful life and I wouldn't change it for anything.

>How?
>Starting from zero with no friends
start there, hobbies are the easiest way to meet people- even if you're autistic you can find people to talk to that like the same things as you. and definitely makes things easier. doesn't have to be a big thing, can be once every few weeks go to a board game night somewhere or whatever.

when i say put yourself out there, it means get out of your comfort zone a little and be open with people. this shit isn't easy dude.

If I got a gf it would just be another thing to worry about

>>83541693
That's one of the reasons why I never want to bother with relationships ever again. There's too many factors to worry about and I'm the kind of person who can't help but plan for the worst.

>>83540651
I do not want a gf but I do desperately want a girl I can fuck on demand
