I'm a rotten person
Dammit. I hate my f*****g life. No, it won't ever get better either. I just can't win. I'll never do anything good or worthwhile. I'm a useless piece of s**t. I'm a man in America so I get no easy breaks whatsoever. Women have all the breaks but the feminazi's have made it so men will get none. I f*****g hate them for undermining this country. The men though are stupid enough to go along with their BS since they gotsta impress da ladies. I'll never overcome this s**t disability. It ruined my f*****g life and I've got no hope whatsover for recovery. I'm suicidal, have no f*****g sex nor a job. UUARGH! (tosses keyboard after typing this)

Channel the anger into determination, use the determination to come up with strategies to improve your life.
Dating, social rules and hierarchies, etc, are all superficial. You're got to learn to get below the surface, and once you do that you'll stop grouping people according to stereotypes.
I'm not going to pretend the chauvinism and men who believe they have a right to sex like they have a right to food/sleep (I don't believe I have a "right" to sex, so why should you?) don't piss me off, but I can understand why you feel this way.

I don't think I've got a right to sex at all. I want it as bad as the next guy though. Tell you that much.

Ok, got the wrong impression, I'm sorry about that. I find negative judgment towards any collective group of people simply for being born a certain way (a.k.a. women) can upset me and cloud my judgment as I am a firm believer in equality for all people. But in the same stretch, you're angry and upset, and it's the haven, so it's unfair of me to come down on you for political correctness. And I do understand why aspie men can feel frustrated and resentful towards women, we're only human after all, and in relationships you guys have it tough because of social structures.
Anyway, I know that when I get angry and frustrated like that it helps when I channel it like I said in about post. I too struggle from low self esteem, and I find that trying to do practical things like make plans and stuff when I'm really angry and hating myself can help.
And I have never met a person in my life who I believe is worthless, every single person has got something inside them to give, and even though I don't know you I don't believe for a second you're worthless either. I don't think aspies can ever truly "win"; the situation I'm in at the moment is a classic example of that; socially I have "won" but I cannot take the "winnings" because of my AS, instead I need to go backwards and let people down; which is as frusturating as all hell. That being said, we CAN fight damn hard and never give up, and take the small victories. And I believe if you keep trying you will end up doing something worthwhile with your life.
Don't give up on yourself.

Try to stay positive, and look for the best in everything rather than the worse in everything. Bear in mind
1. Half a loaf of bread is better than no loaf
2. Is the glass half full or half empty
You need to look at your skills and talents and then try to figure a way of finding the best path through life for yourself. Think of what you want, then consider if it is in your best interests and if it is realistic. Then consider taking steps towards it.
Have you got a special interest or ability which could be transformed into a career ? I think that an aspie with a vocation which is related to a special interest could be a happy aspie.

I am not a jigsaw, I am a free man ! Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.
Be at peace with the things you can't control, and try to change the things you can. Hating your life won't make it better. Keep your cool, keep your peace, and keep positive.
The way your looking at life now is unhealthy. And it's time for you to fix that.

Hey aspieguy101
I'm the most anti-feminist person in the world, so I'm not defending them, and I know exactly what it's like being an unwanted male. I also understand how pissed of it can make somebody, seeing what so many other people have all around you and not having any yourself.
This is just my personal view, so if it doesn't apply to your life, feel free to ignore it.
There's people who get along pretty well in situations involving other humans. I'm not one of them. Seeing a situation inaccurately isn't going to do me any good. I have enough problems, I can't afford to be making them worse.
I think there's a lot of problems involving situations between men and women that feminists couldn't possibly be responsible for because the same problems were around a long time before there were feminists, or at least before the feminists were a big influence.
Looking at some of those old movies, the ones that were made before anybody ever heard the word feminist, the women were attracted to the same kind of guys most women are attracted to today. I imagine things were just as rough back then for guys who were different in ways that weren't considered appealing.
I've also noticed that there's plenty of guys who have no use for feminists who still have a lot of girlfriends.
Stick around here a while and you'll notice that there's some women who are also having a rough life, spending way too much time being lonely, like a lot of us guys. It isn't their fault for the same reason it isn't our fault. I think it tears them up just like it does us. They have different reproductive organs, but inside they're still people.
Being female doesn't make them my enemy just like being male doesn't make somebody my friend.
Hope you manage to get by, bro.

As has been suggested...channel your emotions into determination, and apply that determination to the construction and execution of an "escape plan" that will allow you to be who you are. I don't have any idea who you are, where you live, or what your skill and /or education might be...but...even a dishwasher can save enough money for a plane ticket to Thailand or Morocco or wherever in order to either "get away from it all" for however long it takes you to construct a "self" that "works" for you, or just plain start over wherever you end up.
Never let the bastards grind you down...and....eventually....you'll be able to let go of the anger, resentment, etc.
