      The reason why OP's strat works is it filters out people until you find someone you'd actually be a match with... because you're literally being yourself. Bad strat to frick random Stacy, good strat for a relationship.

        yeah, this is massive survivorship bias on the part of ops single anecdote. dont do this please. most of you arent autistic you just rolled a nat 0 on social skills and have to basically build back up from scratch which is hard and sucks worse than the grindiest workout plan.

          I remember my high school days when I allowed myself to be as autistic, meaning enjoy myself as much as possible, and I had a reputation for being the funny guy. Later in life I recognized a lot of issues that I had, and I started trying to be more "normal", but as a result I just started being boring, I felt anxiety being around people (can they figure out I'm not one of them?), that kind of stuff.

          So the OP resonates with me because I was never meant to be neurotypical. I was meant to be unhinged, creative, and charming in my own way. And that's true, some people are creepy when they are autistic. So, it either works or it doesn't.

            lol i think you might actually be me. clearly its a somewhat uncommon phenomenon but i still dont think how op describes handling it will be productive. you just have to adapt normal boring normie social cue and dynamics to your own natural interests and you can thread the needle well. i basically went through the same steps. im at a really good place now where people find me engaging but i dont suffer boring mfers very well so im still not perfectly normie adpated. i still have to focus during social interactions to hit the right 'steps' though. a bit like formal dancing i imagine but im way better at it because than a lot of people because i actually have to practice a lot.

            That happened with me as well. All through my childhood I was just "the funny guy" but never developed any friendships and relationships. Was the same with anyone I met in college or in my 20s. Always making observational jokes and making people laugh but never developed any friendships or relationships, mainly because I was afraid to try to hang out with people

            When I hit 30 it was the milestone that made me realize my life was over. For the past few years, I barely even speak anymore. I hardly even engage with people. I just want it to be over.

          Sorry moron, posting in here to let you know it worked for me. Barring being severely ugly being confident and passionate is absolutely required. You will not be confident and passionate trying to talk about football or clubbing if you’re a 40k autist so just own it. Fix whatever you need to do to feel worthy and confident. For me it was fat so the moment I fixed that, I started getting attention even though I was DYEL, despite what IST says. Sperging to girls about the implications of the rise of Islam in North Africa at a dorm party may not be what a chad would do but it’s a lot better than awkwardly standing in the corner and being afraid to talk to women and coping by pretending it makes you “mysterious.”

          Based. The most common complaint girls give on dates is the guy isn't interested in them and just talked about himself the whole time. I swear asking questions and being interested in other people's lives is like a cheat code, I've always made friends easily in every environment I've ever been in because I'm good at taking interest in others.

      She was the wrong kind of woman. Not for you, but just in general. The right kind of woman for a long term relationship finds it very attractive when a man is squarely passionate about something, even if that thing is super weird or moronic.

      For example, I'm a falconer and my gf doesn't give a flying frick (pun intended) about falconry personally and never wants to own a raptor herself. It's not her thing. The blood and gore is too much for her. BUT she listens to me when I talk about it, hypes me up when good things happen with my bird, encourages me when bad things happen with my bird, and tells her friends and family about it because she knows I love it so much. She's even agreed to go hunting with me and my hawk this fall, so long as she doesn't have to touch blood or guts.

        Fricking gigachad, how the frick do you get into falconry? Is it true you have to abduct a baby falcon from a nest and raise it yourself for it to be properly trained?

        • 11 months ago
          Anonymous

          If you're in the US, look up "[your state] hawking club" or "[your state] falconry association" on facebook or google. That will get you in touch with local falconers. You have to take a test, buy gear, find a falconer to sponsor you, get an inspection, and a hunting licence. Once you do all this you get your license. It sounds like a lot but it really isn't too bad.

          When you first start out you don't take them from the nest (nestlings are called eyasses). That's a more niche and advanced thing. As an apprentice falconer, you do trap young birds from the wild that already left the nest and have been flying and hunting on their own for a few weeks (called passage raptors).

            not to mention that it defines your other muscles, makes you more vascular, and highlights your features like chin/jaw, cheekbones, et.c.
            the only downside is the mass you lose by having a lower bf%, your kinda chronic low energy (if you go really low bf%), and how (if you don't dress right) you can't tell you lift in normal clothes.

              I guess it also kinda depends on your fat distribution and general composition. I've always had shitty fat genetics with it being stuck on my belly, love handles and face. Even at 15-18% bf I looked like shit shirtless. After years of lifting and being stuck at that barely not lean hell I finally managed a decent cut these last months and the difference is fricking insane. I look 10 times better and suddenly have a chiseled face. I think most guys know this and just cope because actually cutting down is incredibly difficult. But it's so worth it

    I never stick to anything king enough to learn a lot or develop any real skill. I hate this, I suck at staying focused and disciplined. Wasn’t always like this. Idk what happened. Haven’t even been able to read more than 3 pages of a book in nearly 10 years now and I once read cover to cover.

    Oh yeah I know I’ll tell these b***hes about my doom scrolling and cooming habits since that's all I seem to do these days. THIS is why I actively avoid dating even when I have a woman I throw herself at me. I don’t got shit to say or talk about I’m a fricking loser.

      i'm somewhat like you. i think the most important thing is to never say to women something like

      they fricking hate that. they see it as you asking them for permission to like x and y, or something.
      and if you're doing x and y you probably can't talk about working for something. i don't think they like that either.

      eg. if you tell them you're working on getting one plate ohp that will dry their pussy. if you tell them that you did lift 20kg in ohp that is better.

            I’ll attempt this. Idk what else to do. I do think it’s screen induced ADD. Relatively easy for me to fall into having been neet the last two years. I’m going to start with fishing. It’s the easiest thing I can think of where I already have all necessary supplies. It should be easy enough to just walk, sit, be alone with my thoughts and not be as inclined to get distracted or go on my phone and scroll. Even if I begin to get bored.
            And I know it’s not ideal but if it rains I’ll read a manga.

            >screen induced ADD
            honestly how could someone develop ADHD without electronic media? Nothing analogue gives that much stimulation.

              I think my problem isn’t solely screen induced. I had diagnosed ADD previously as a child, but if I exerted some willpower I could buckle down and focus and be fairly productive. Even easier to do if I was consistently exercising.
              I think in my 20s excessive caffeine + pot + nicotine + way too much porn + screens exacerbated it to the point of where I am now.
              I’ve quit pot, weaning down on nicotine and caffeine, cutting done on porn, but frick idk how long it’ll take to return to normal. I suspect if I can do what the others said and frick off from screen usage and also quit caffeine/porn it will speed up the process a lot.

              Like frick. I have to do laundry, go clean my car, buy some groceries, clean bathroom, shower, feed my snakes, and I’d like go fish for an hour… but look at me, I’m bed locked seemingly unable to get off my ass.No keep getting up and walking circles around my house for a bit, just to wind up doom scrolling without having realized it. It almost feels painful to start. Idk how I could have fallen so low. It’s like I’m quite literally unable to focus and just start something.
              I’m going to start something since I typed this and feel shame. But frick I don’t wanna have to force myself I just want to function like I used to.

          This sounds 100% like me, and

          You probably have internet induced ADD or something. Information overload and infinite scrolling websites have made everything that takes more than 3 minutes of effort boring to you. You should try an internet fast and see if it brings back your interests again

          actually sounds like it could legit be the reason.

          and you're not doing ANY of those, right? Look, I get it, I'm kind of the same. I put things off for various reasons. I'm tired, I'm busy, I don't wanna waste money. But at some point you have to live your life and stop being in standby mode. I WANT to scuba dive, bake bread, make wine, do muay thai, etc. But none of those matter since I don't do them.

          I do however fix old cameras and take photos, I go snorkeling, I cook a lot. I read, although that's not really an activity so I don't know why you listed it, you may as well say you watch TV. Also I paint a bit and play an instrument, not well, but at least I do it

              I always see people say this. Who cares if a woman doesn't have interests? I'm not trying to defend them for being boring. But a woman not having interests, does it really affect you as a guy if you were her boyfriend or husband? I a woman doesn't have interests then you don't have to worry about them trying to get you to do them.

                The problem is this:
                1) i have never been approached by, or complimented by a woman, meaning i have to seek out and start any interaction with them myself
                2) i cannot establish a relationship from said interaction if i have nothing to build upon. i know she feels no attraction to me, i am supposed to advertise myself to her in the few moments she gives me
                This is why i have never touched a woman in my life. I have had no organic interactions with women because through bad luck i've never been around any women in school/work/hobbies and now i'm a 20-something who has to fight tooth and nail for any interaction with a woman to last for more than a few minutes. It is very hard.

                If you’re thinking this you already lost. This is what you need to overcome. You’re on IST, are you IST? How do you dress? How’s your grooming? It’s possible to be in good shape with well fitting clothes such that you walk into a room thinking, “who in their right mind wouldn’t want to go on a date with me.” But you have to earn that by being IST, taking care of yourself, etc such that you outcompete other guys

                You're not missing much. Once they drop a compliment, they will expect you to carry on the conversation regardless; and it's awkward.

    Women with no interests are more prevalent depending on the party. If you go to a party where people are just looking to hook up or dance you’ll have a lot less luck with OPs method vs going to a more laid back party location. You’re not gonna get hoes at the club (who you were either gonna ghost or eventually get divorce raped by anyways) talking about your nerdy passions but you will have great luck attracting someone you actually can stand being around if you do it at a house/dorm party with less than 2 dozen people.

    Maybe don’t talk about yourself the whole time. But the general principle here is sound. You can’t imagine how unfathomably insecure even gorgeous women are, it is a facade 100% of the time even when they ooze confidence. And, they can sniff out insecurity in others like bloodhounds. No woman will ever feel happy around a man who isn’t happy with himself. You have to have such an abundance of self-comfort that there’s some left for her. You don’t have to be flawless - nobody is. But she wants to be able to feel secure in spite of her numerous flaws, and if you aren’t secure in spite of yours, how can she ever let her walls down enough to legitimately love you?

      Attractive women aren't insecure, they post hundreds of photos per year on Instagram of their face and bodies, receive thousands of likes, and are DM'd by literal celebrities and pro athletes.

      Usually I've found that average looking girls are the truly insecure ones faking it. They are also the most loose because they seek validation through sex and approval from attractive men.

        can you guys stop parroting this meme? Most of us had standards. When confronted with reality many people will start dropping their standards until it gets to, like, just don't be obese and have a kid already, but those standards are often still not low enough, and then the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Only time will tell if I ever get desperate enough to scrape the bottom of the barrel for fat 26 year old single mothers.

        this place is filled with psycho narcissists which afflicts incels often, the whole reason they're socially awkward is because they never gave a single shit about another person, considered other people to be dirt and never cared what they thought, and now it's biting them in the ass, it all comes from a selfish place, so being awkward and having a massive ego are two sides of the same coin

          for me i think this is about half-right.
          like if you went back to me when it all started going bad and explained to him that if you change your behaviour to suit others - they'll stop giving you a hard time and it's legit an actionable thing you can do.
          that would have been completely foreign to me and i would have been glad to know it.

          from my perspective i was just doing what i do and people fricking hated me for shit i couldn't do anything about so i was completely fricked.

          I am 100% what you described, minus the "consider other people to be dirt" part. Basically constantly over anaylzing absolutely everything about me to absurd details never being able to leave this cripplingly awkward stage, so as a result never being able to actually focus on the other person.

          How do I fix my shit?

            I did the same thing for a long time and suffered from general analysis paralysis in all aspects of my life. I have somewhat fixed the social part to great success, have a long term relationship and we're actually able to work stuff out meaningfully and productively.
            I think the main thing for me is that before, I was so concentrated on the other person's thoughts ("oh man they might not like me"), I neglected my emotions in the situation, which sounds ironic considering the whole point is that we want to be able to focus on the other person. The reason you need to be able to express your emotions liberally is that by not doing that, the interaction has no dynamic in place to actually illicit a response. If the goal is to focus on the other person, learn about them, and engage with them, you need to be able to give them something to judge and respond to, and you can then do so in kind, which spurs a type of positive feedback loop

            My current, longest lasting, and best relationship started because I decided to get drunk, send her some spicy memes, and just rant about shit I was thinking about. It's been over a year since then and we're going on pretty strong, go on vacations and enjoy our time together. I guess for me it took that lowered inhibition to come to the realization that not only is expressing myself is okay to do, but that it's fun and necessary to form and sustain bonds.

        The average ISTner is chasing a vapid moronic Stacey as his GF interest. There are a sea of women out there who would live to talk to you morons about Warhammer, or at least let it slide but those women aren't what you're setting yourself up to come into contact with because those women aren't hot enough for you, don't dress or act like the loose women you've been promised by pornography. They might have imperfections and god forbid you look past any of theirs while lamenting that Stacey won't look past yours. I have a manlet socially moronic friend I've known for 20 years. He's an abysmal failure with women. He'll say he's being himself but I watch him put up a front the whole evening and act like a weird unnatural approximation of himself. He chases these women who are way out of his league and whose body language from minute one says "ick". Tell him to go after a cute 7/10 you see and he gets fricking mad at me. "UGH gross, you think little of me!" he'll say, incredulous. Last year he had a nice and friendly girl who was dating him for a short while and lives 5 minutes away. She was fun and fit in well hanging out, good conversationalist and somehow really into my friend. What does he do? Ghosts her after a month to get catfished by a fake 10/10 who was trying to steal money from him. Then he has the nerve to lament his situation. "Oh anon, it's tough out there, women are such low quality! I just want a good woman I could marry..." then he had it staring him in the face and it wasn't good enough.

        delusional, 100% of IST and the rest of IST would rather have a introverted shy gf that prefers to stay indoors over the clubbing stacy type and idk where you conjured up this idea

      this is what i find funny. people on this shithole website should be deliberately looking for quiet or nerdy type girls. they are much more likely to have actual interests and all that stuff. but then the guys only pine for hot girls, ridicule those who don't have a hot girl, then get upset when the hot girls have no personality

      Kek. You guys are really wrong.

      Most of the nerdy girls I've met have been weirdly attractive. Way outta my league by miles. Other than that, ugly girls don't necessarily have a personality either. I had one chasing me for a while and talking to her was fricking excruciating.
      I'll probably end up hiring a escort or something, I mostly just need to get the urges out. I'm not that lonely otherwise.

    this is moronic and maybe 0.01% of men could pull it off if they were a 10/10 looks-wise (think Henry Cavill, though even he can't pull it off all the way). It will ruin your chances with a girl who would like you even if you're not a normie, by coming on too strong with the "nerd" shit.

    the biggest problem is by ranting about autist garbage you're talking way too much. if you want people to like you, you have to let them do most of the talking and express genuine interest in whatever they say. the second part is really important because it keeps the date/conversation from turning into an interview. giving your own perspective or relating with a story of your own will make them feel good and may even provide some tension (important if you want to frick whoever you're talking to) if you disagree.

    You shouldn't be talking obsessively about anything with your date, that's her department. Save it for your bros.
    Just Beeing Yourself with confidence is the way to go, but with caveats. Don't shy away from your autism but don't rave on and on about it, maintain the self-awareness to recognize that it's YOUR autism. Expect to be rejected by women for it and consider it a dodged bullet instead of curling up and never going outside again. This goes for non-autists too; expect that your date probably either won't be interested in you or will turn out to be a woman you don't want to be around long-term.
    And of course, if you're at a bar or a club you're looking for vapid prostitutes to frick, not gfs or wives. If you're moronic enough think some bimbo is going to go along with your autism or be a good wife then it's for the best that you stay forever alone.

    This will work on girls who are slightly autistic themselves, there are a lot these days. Normie girls hell no, even greysweaters. I matched with one girl, mid but total mommy type energy. Said on her profile she liked LOTR. I went in depth about the lore from the Silmarilion and she went quiet. Like I knew too much about it and it was weird, while she was only into it on the surface for the movies. She was literally just larping as a nerd and couldn't handle real alternative intelligence that wasn't social intelligence. Social intelligence is all women care about.

    This thread degenerated into “how to have sex with hot girl” general.
    I’m posting actual advice that really made an important and drastic impact on my life.
    For context: this was in response to a post I had made describing my guilt and shame over a dui that permanently paralyzed another human being. I was asking for the best ways to cleanly commit suicide and ensure that my next of kin would be adequately taken care of and not have to see the aftermath.
    This persons kindness made a difference. I did read Crime and Punishment, and I loved it. I served my time in jail and made it through. Now I am in a post graduate program working towards making a better life.
    Don’t drink and drive. And if you do, do not speed. You will ruin your life and the lives of others. I thank God everyday that I did not kill anyone, and I will have the stain of permanently injuring this man on my conscience until the day I die.

      The other thing is that once you learn how to use the archives effectively, you can find whatever knowledge you're looking for much more quickly than most other sites (somewhat of a gradient though; again, less effective for surface level topics but more effective for esoteric topics) with much more detail, as well as opposing viewpoints.

              This may be true. A lot of what he says is correct, but it just doesn’t seem viable in the 20-35 dating pool. The only friend I know who has a woman that seems how he described, his wife is obese and can’t really hope to do any better. She still disrespects him pretty often.. like actual disrespect. She’s made mention of thinking I have a big dick numerous times in front of his face in front of our friends.

              Kind of has me feeling a bit hopeless. I want a woman I find actually attractive who I can have a good healthy relationship with. But it really seems like those days are over unless I’m willing to sift through many actually garbage women just to maybe possibly meet one who’s worth it which even then isn’t guaranteed. And I don’t mind a normal body count of like 3 men, but I’m not settling for some town bike who’s been ran through and degraded by tons of other dudes which just further narrows my chances.

                the post outright says that he has a rule that if they fight, they must agree with him. he admits that he doesn't like it. he claims that it saved their marriage, but in reality it ends all communication and forces her to submit to him regardless of the action.
                he has conditioned his wife to lose all of her friends and to alienate her mother to make her husband happy and to meet his expectations. he says "good riddance" to her friends, when we have no information as to whether or not they were good influences (she didnt go to bars or clubs, or else he wouldnt have married her in the first place, so her friends likely wouldnt as well)
                why does a man need to chastise his wife at all, and the story he tells is pretty demeaning as well.

          >specific images
          Same as the above if there was text along with the image. If not you can try to find the thread the image was posted in, or you can search the image hash of another image of a similar nature (eg if you're trying to find something /sig/ related, you would search the image hash of another /sig/ related image and then look over the threads containing that image to see if you can find that image). And obviously you can just /r/ that shit if you're too lazy and some turbo autist will find it for you if you're lucky

      Reading shitposts and arguments teaches you a lot just from exposure to the ideas being discussed. I found a really good lightweight tent manufacturer from an unrelated IST thread where two autists started arguing about trekking poles, and discovered PSMF from IST keto flamewars.

      i dont agree with this. I was a redditard for a few years (yeah, like i was the only one), and i didnt get much of it. Mostly memes. A few responses and very few images, but not much.

      I came to IST beacuse i didnt bought the bs of the russian-ukranian war that is being puked on reddit. In just a year i have a folder of the best advices/data/and motivation i had ever read, plus i understand a little more about how the world actually works.

      IST addiction can be a real thing and you definetly should limit the time you spend here, ideally less than half an hour each day to see if there are any interesting/potentially useful thread like this one.

      But this is the most helpful place of the internet right now.

    If it seems like a larp it probably is. Willingness to believe bullshit is your worst enemy when it comes to fitness. Personally trainers categorically have one of the lowest mean IQ scores for occupations.

    Sounds moronic but that's what I did (accidentally).

    When drunk started talking to a random girl that sat beside me about a time I shat myself on a student cruise while drunk. exchanging drunk stories drifted to interests and hobbies etc. so I rambled on about warhammer and transformers.
    Ended up at her place but due to the curse of virginity my dick didn't work, but we kept seeing and after like a month of trying I relaxed enough to keep my dick hard. Broke up soon after cause I didn't really like her that way, but stayed friendswb.
    Also got her into warhammer kek

    None of the girls I've dated have expressed anything except interest when I've shown them my figures and shit.

    Girls like when a guy has interests.

            Sounds to me like a foreign situation. We're not close enough to our family in America for this sort of dispute to be a common issue.
            Nobody's in the wrong except her parents. They've abused her for long enough for her to feel it's the way they show her love. It sucks, and she'll likely come back to you when the cycle has to repeat or they croak. Otherwise, she'll find someone as abusive as they are and be a beaten wife.
            Do you at least lift?

            that's what i am fearing.
            i dont know if i ever want her back, for all of this to repeat all over again?
            besides, she was weak to fall to their demands.
            i do lift, and thank frick that i did. i kept lifting even during all this situation, lol

            If there’s any point where you fricked up it was running away from your own house rather than standing up to them right at the start. I stayed out of when my partners parents treated her like shit up until they started berating her in front of me for not accepting an “offer” to move cross country back in with them and leave me. I stood up for her then and from that point she sided with me absolutely against her parents, the only way I can see her having given in is if I didn’t do anything in that situation. They flew cross country to show up to your home to try to scare someone you loved for a decade to leave you and you ran away rather than telling them to frick off. I put up with a lot of shit before saying anything in my situation but there’s a point where another man is stalking her and probably threatening her when you’re not there that you need to do something. You say she didn’t give a shit but you don’t seem to have lifted a finger. Wtf anon.

            anon. you are not understanding this. We both decided to go away from home to choose wtf to do. its not a normal situation, and we wanted to think without them forcing their way into the house.

            >you don’t seem to have lifted a finger.
            did you read what i wrote?
            i went to the restaurant and told them to get the frick out of there, and to ask forgiveness to my father and me.
            I talked and shouted to them for 3 hours straight, i told them everything wrong they did in the 10 years, and was all for nothing.
            what do you expect me to do, anon? Beat these insane people who called the police, and go to jail?
            frick off. i have my own life to live, and if it is to be without her, so be it.

    1. Calisthenics is better than lifting for aesthetics.
    2. Visualizing, unironically asking God for things you want, manifesting etc actually works but only if you believe it and are grateful for things you already have.
    3. I hate to say this but the advice to be as neglectful and uncaring with women really works - they will do more work if you really mean it when you act like you can leave at any moment. The downside is that it only works if you don't really love her so it's kinda bad for your soul. IYKYK

    What we should get going is a hashtag/meme that is about "ironically" posting accurate, unfiltered pictures of yourself.
    So you message some chick.
    >hey, i just added some pics. message back if you want to chat #nastyandreal
    The purpose would be that she "ironically" shows you nasty and real (working title) photos of herself.
    Reason being: it's hard to say how many but a significant amount of the flaking out of women you meet online might not be so much that they think you are a sex offender is they're afraid of showing up because they basically catfished you with filtered pictures.
    If you persuade them to show you their worst most real photos then you will make them more likely to be willing to meet and show up if they agreed to it.

    she was a bit of a massive hoe thought, so I don't know if this was an isolated case or it's always that easy but I thought it was cool that one time that I was texting her being autistic on the anatomy of the scapula and how the Teres Major is my favourite muscle and she asked me if it could've helped me in my studies if she sent me videos of her naked showing off her body

        I used that as an example of why upper back health is imo as important as your legs, lower back and heart. If your back is solid, the goodness radiates everywhere. And since it's "just 1 bone" on each side, 17 sounds like alot and conveys the importance of a varied and diverse upper back workout every now and then. As in mixing strength, hypertrophy and endurance sets.

        I'm autistic so I'm not sure if you challenged the statement but both of your scapulae do infact connect to 17 muscles.

      Very well, I give you some free advice before you waste your life completely in terms of female having female company, it does seem to be on your mind and a priority to life quality from what I've read between the lines.

      I assume you're from the US or Europe. Girls got brainwashed even more as guys as they're more prone to it, Instagram and tinder and their israeli algorithms target them differently.

      You seem to be at least a but into fitness and skincare, meaning you're introverted but able to research and for a certain kind of the female population that's still worth a lot. I highly recommend to save up a little bit of money and do a longer holiday somewhere in southeast Asia, and once you've found a place you like you look into permanent relocation.

      Easy mode is Philippines, they want white babies and a man with the following requirements:
      He doesn't hit her when he's drunk
      White DNA preferred
      Not dead ass broke, if you have $2k a month you're golden, if you have $3-4k you live in luxury.
      Thailand is hard mode as they're more or less experts at extracting funds from you
      Vietnam is middle ground, but definitely material for marriage. She won't cheat on you and usually they're virgin until marriage. Most petite women in the world.

      Basically, go somewhere where your $1 is worth $5 and the same applies to you, go somewhere where you're more in demand.

      Learning about a new culture also makes you grow and more desirable.

      If you're absolutely not into Asian women, east Europe is also doable to find the ones with the more feminine mindset who still prefer quality, but it isn't as easy as southeast Asia.

      You don't want to die a virgin or continue for another 1 or 2 decades and become depressed for real once you hit 45 and the windows for producing offspring to continue your bloodline (your soul will thank you for it in the afterlife) slowly closes.

      Stop living inside your head dumbass, how can people love you if you can't love yourself?
      Stop asking your own opinion all the time. Dgaf about skincare unless it's controlling acne, nobody but you will obsess over the albedo of your chin.
      What kind of girls are you after? What kind of men do you want to be friends with? Are you dressing like them? Are you doing the things they do? Are you enjoying that?
      You wear your vibe to attract your tribe anon, if you're not the person that they are interested in then they're not going to be interested in you.
      And if you are doing that shit but you're not enjoying it, then they aren't the people for you. You can't just brute force your personality into getting a gf. You have to nurture it, and that starts with doing the things that are intuitive to you. Pick two shirts out of your drawers: don't hum and haw about which one should you wear oh that's this brand oh that's those sleeves what if what if? Just put one on. Who gives a frick what other people think about you? If they're not who you want to be with, they don't matter.

      I don't fall in with that sigma grindset bollox but this is literally a beta opinion anon. You're better than this.
      Don't ask yourself "should I do this?" Just do it. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

    there is literally no reason not to become the very best version of yourself. doing so not only improves your life, but the lives of those around you. there is no single greater service to mankind than this. becoming a light unto those who have only seen darkness in their life.

    Positive emotions are infectious. Be happy, excited about things. Smile more.

    If this isn't wishful thinking I don't know what is. Yeah sounds like a good plan to naive autists but people are not going to care or be impressed by things they have zero connection to. You'll be shot down and brought to reality so hard

    Biggest flaw with this is that most people here don't have any true passions that they can talk about for hours nonstop.

      alright now here's the thing
      there are plenty more people that would be able to talk about the things they're interested in, if it were at all socially acceptable.
      Imagine, for a moment, someone talking about Homestuck for hours. About something like Elona+ or hentai games. About MLP? What about actual cartoons?
      All of those can be considered interests to a person. All of these can have passionate fans that can talk for hours about them.
      Would they talk about those to a girl? No. That's a terrifying thought.

      My passions are history, particularly military history, gaming, gaming lore, anime, manga, drawing, niche foreign culture (some countries here, some there), bodybuilding, exercise, esotericism, occultism, religion/spiritual topics, and to some minor degree fashion and art (photography, painting, depicting things basically).

      If I let loose I could chat about this for ages.
      I'm sure if anyone on here looked deeper they would find their own interests too.

    I'm gonna lean into my autism with confidence.

    My issue has been that I can barely say 2 sentences about the boring weather to normies, but chat for literal hours with people who share my interests. Suppose I could illuminate normies of my interests (regardless of how much they care).

    It makes sense, I mean you want to date someone who loves you for the dork you are, not the insecure man you're pretending to be

        Why do midwits get so triggered as soon as the word ego is mentioned? The man isn't wrong.

    I've done this before but I don't think you can fake this kind of confidence, like the post says you really have to believe 100% truly. Those of you who couldn't pull it off didn't.

    its honestly great advice
    I met all my gfs by just being honest about my weird hobbies in a playful way. you'll filter out the basic normie b***hes, but you wont get the cute weird ones you want by acting like a normie
