Send your photo to female members (or to male members if close enough) and let them help you.
They can’t tell what’s wrong blindly.

I thought that I liked how Mayim Bialik looks and dresses in "Call me Kat," I will have to grow my hair into a bob and have it layered.

Bea, I was thinking of doing some silver blue tips, which I tried before and I love it. I also agree with a little make-up on. What about perfume?

On perfume, I'd be very very careful. Some people are chemically sensitive and you won't know in advance. Even if they aren't chemically sensitive, too much scent is always a danger.

A good way to use cologne or perfume is to put a little on a cotton ball, and then touch that to your pulse points (wrists, inside elbows, underarms, behind ears, temples, neck (where you feel the pulse), groin (where the thigh meets the pelvis), behind knees, and ankles. It's always better to wear too little than too much.

I knew a gal that set out to meet some men. She purchased some fishing equipment and went to a fishing pier and the men were falling all over her to help her out. That was how she met her husband.

I think your idea of going to shared-interest groups is a very good call. Men tend to be very into their hobbies, and most are delighted to meet a woman who shares their interests. (Any sourpusses who aren't, certainly aren't worth your time!) Plus, for men who aren't the kind to hit on anything that moves, it's useful to have a neutral topic to discuss while they get to know you.

Short hair on a woman can be a strikingly attractive look, especially if it's very short (like clippers grade), very neat, and a vivid colour. If you're happier with short hair, that might be a better way of glamming it up than growing it long and hating it! (Personally, I've always been dubious of women who are only interested in how I look when it's nothing like how I usually look. There's only so long I can keep up a false face.)

Hi:
I would like to find some clubs and groups where there is a shared interest because I would like to meet some men though I am not in any hurry. So far, I don't want to...
1. Meet people online through a dating site, I would much rather join some meet-up groups that are related to the shared interests, even if things are virtual or outdoors right now.
- I would like to join some meet-ups related to astronomy, geology, or a bible study
2. I have heard other autistic couples talk about avoiding meeting people at places like bars


My hair is super-short and several people have been telling me I look like a man. Any tips on keeping the short hair, while looking attractive and getting men to notice me?


It’s hard to recommend things without knowing what you look like but I can say coloring your hair is good as long as you don’t go overboard with unnaturally-bright colors or highlights - a natural color looks better.

A good idea for short hair also is to style your hair into a pixie-cut.

Pixie-cuts look beautiful and attractive and are usually short.

You could also wear really girly clothing like a nice sundress.

Personally I really like short hair on a woman - I think it looks beautiful and feminine but also tomboy-ish.

The only general rule of thumb about being attractive with short hair, is that it helps if you are reasonably thin.

Women that are more curvy would do better with longer hair, but as long as you have a decently fit physique, then you can look very attractive with short hair.

I met my boyfriend at an osteopath appointment, in the waiting room. It was December and I was wearing a winter coat, so I don't think my outfit was visible. He was chatting with reception and I took a chance by joining in the conversation.

The rest is history. For me, the biggest obstacle was just in making small talk, smiling, and taking his number.

Apart from ease of maintenance, why the short hair?
Short hair can be a visual signal that a woman is a lesbian.

Short hair can also be a sign that someone is happy following their own path and doesn't feel the need to act like a walking stereotype. Can be associated with punk, emo or "alternative" music / fashion, too.

Will be highly attractive to some, whether that's a good thing depends on who you're looking to attract! But dressing as the person you want to be makes a lot more sense to me than dressing like the partner of the sort of mate you'd like to attract, unless (very happily) these happen to be the same look.

Have your hair how you like, it's your hair. If anyone makes assumptions about it or gets judgy, they're clearly exactly the sort of person you need to avoid.

Being confident in your own style is a lot more attractive to me than being desperate to please.

If someone doesn't dig or tolerate your style and comfort preferences, they're not for you, they are likely superficial enough to leave or do stupid things.

Finding our style and who we are is hard enough, not to mention we tend to be unusual and eccentric. If Einstein's wife\cousin would have had something against his hair, would they have had children?
Would people bother writing songs like Melanie's Highschool Sweethearts?

Step one
You must accept that I'm a little out my mind
Step two
This is a waste if you can't walk me down the finish line
Step three
Give me passion, don't make fun of my fashion
Step four
Give me more, give me more, more

[Pre-Chorus]
If you can't handle a heart like mine
Don't waste your time with me
If you're not down to bleed, no, oh
If you can't handle the choking, the biting
The loving, the smothering
'Til you can't handle it no more, no more
Go home

[Chorus]
Can we just be honest?
These are the requirements
If you think you can be my one and only true love
You must promise to love me
And damn it, if you f**k me over
I will rip your f*****g face apart

[Post-Chorus]
High school sweethearts, line up
Not trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you're not my type :heart:

Have to be liked nuff, cute stuff. The tips to find your style are somewhere inside you, within resources, within the music you listen to, the clothes you like, the interests you have. You need to brainstorm ideas of haircuts after googling them and see which would frame you better and which are your favorites. Take the perspective of yourself when seeing another woman. would you admire her, is she within your values, your distinctions, could you get along? Would it work at your workplace\future job? Would it have the right spin and edge to express what you aim for?

It's my impression that many AFAB people who present an androgynous appearance or are not otherwise conventionally "feminine", if they are not in fact non-binary or transmen, are gay. Ironically, many men may find this look attractive but have learned from experience they are wasting their time approaching women who appear "butch". If you are unapologetically seeking men, you should avoid this as much as possible, even if it means wearing a hair extension or similar. Sorry the rules to the game are not fair.

Do you have much prior experience dating men? That would also help anyone who'd like to help.

I don’t think it’s necessarily a waste of time - she just needs a pixie-cut and a pretty dress, like a sundress, and problem solved. :D

Lots of Lesbians have long hair too - so a guy won’t necessarily judge her sexual preference based on her hair length.

If she gracefully flirts with a guy, he will understand she is straight, even if her hair is short.

If anything, it would probably be a good thing - because then she won’t get swamped by tons of males - and she gets to pick the ones she wants to approach, at her leisure.

If her hair is short, it should keep all the opportunistic douchebag guys at bay.

Then she could approach the shy guys, and they would be her best bet for a compassionate and compatible partner. :thumleft:

Hair extensions will make you bald. After a certain age the hair doesn't grow as easily or thick, either. Short hair is so easy to wash. I wish they made a way to have removable hair. itd be so much easier to wash off head or change its color without damaging it honestly. xD It just links back to its place or hairtips. Have short hair whenever and 1 minute later come out with amazing wavy hair

It's a bad invention, horrible, tight, sweaty, messes your natural hair's volume and makes your scalp unable to breathe. They need nanohair or something.

There's the cuddle trick, if you get the guy to hug you, his brain to release good hormones, it will help you getting a next date.

Then there is the three yeses trick, but I will let you figure that one out.

Having a well fitting attire that shows your legs in the summer drives them wild. an acquaintance messaged me she wants to wear shorts and so i immediately got my short dress ready and we went out. We got so many whistles from guys, oh lawdy. From the skies up on construction building, from around the city. Even my haters do it when I wear it. I got a guy kissing airs at me and my female neighbor say i look like im from the movies.

All in all it is a black dress with a witchly twist to it. I used to have Marylin Monroe short haircut on a yellower type blond. So im winning in my own style [finally]. And I didn't wear any makeup because it's products brought from hell to irritate my face. I will not reveal my accessories.
Suffice to say it's eccentric enough that a woman did the religious cross sign on herself when she saw me in a store and shook her head. Which being an atheist is right where I want it. It's confirmation my path is right.
