Don't know why I asked really.
It's still a mystery to me. At first I assumed that you're probably just very picky (like some others here
), but then I re-read the start of your I'm so sick of this... mega-thread where you say you only get asked out once in 3 years. Even assuming that's an exaggeration and not literal, AS wouldn't really explain it, unless you just come off really obviously awkward in real life. Based on your videos that seems unlikely. Of course, I realise there's a difference between filming a video and interacting with real, live people. (I love the cat video, by the way!)
Maybe there is something to that "too good to be true" idea several people have posted. It would be an interesting experiment if you went for someone really high-status - some good-looking, rich guy who would definitely not think you're "too good to be true" (for him). Easier said than done, of course!
By the way, I did get that the main purpose of this thread was for others to post their profiles, rather than critique yours. I don't have one, though, so I posted something about yours. It was definitely intended to be constructive. Whether it came across that way or not - I'm not sure.

^ It's always better to ask a question than make a statement. There's no reason to reply to a statement, but there's always a reason to reply to a question. Questions keep conversations moving forward. Further, people like to talk about themselves.. so asking open ended questions about them and then actively listening to their responses is ideal.

I already told you. It's me. Because I'm gay & she can't have me.

Updated my grammar, capitalization.
Also added a new photo that was taken at a wedding reception. Not my favorite picture, but it's at least not in a bathroom. I also cropped the bathroom pictures but will add some more. My question is how many pictures is too many on a dating site?
Still trying to decide what picture to use for my face one.
I find myself conflicted about what to advise you. Your new profile pic is ideal. However, it portrays you as a relaxed, confident, even cocky guy (that's my perception), but your other pics basically show you being autistic. IDK. Is there a point attracting people who will expect you to be one way when you are not that way? Or maybe you just want to get dates, whatever? If the latter, then take off the other pics and leave the new one unless you have some other ones that are taken by other people.
Pro tip: Never Ever use selfies on the dating profile. (unless you are a genius and know how to take them so they look professionally done, not like selfies)
this is pretty much how I come across now mostly due to losing weight and feeling good about myself. Getting more attention from girls helps as well.
. I'm getting a new hair cut in a couple days so gonna wait to put more pics on until then.

at the risk of coming across as a sicko I think it's kind of funny (sad ???)sexy girls with high education who seem interesting have low self worth, 
it reminds me of the Seinfeld episode "you can do better than him" he says that to the sexy , funny Dr when George sees her bf who is average looking in a very average job (salesmen) it does happen in real life my one and only friend is that salesmen , I don't know why she's with him he doesn't even work even worse she wants kids and he can only shoot blanks!

Just goes to show that ASD, anxiety, feelings of low self worth etc can afflict anyone - no matter how good they look.
I'll admit full well I was quite confused by my extremely good looking friend's depression/anxiety in the past, as I knew I felt that way, but it didn't make sense why he did. Once I realized that he, too, is on the Autism spectrum, it all made complete sense as to why he'd feel like this internally despite what my or others external perceptions of him are.

Possibly. I know my friend was in one that went bad and left him very sad for a long time. :/
So, it's up to people like us that recognize their true beauty to rescue them from themselves and treat them right.
So far I only get to do that as his friend, and I'm OK with that, but I'd like to be more than friends if he ever comes around to the idea. Dunno if he will, only time will tell.
