I don't think I unattractive...I'm not comfortable linking to my FB account, is there a way to post a pic from my computer?


Do you tell the women all of these details when you go on dates? I can see these things being a very big problem.

At first I did have it on my OKCupid profile, but slowly chipped away at it until I eventually gave up completely and deleted the profile entirely...and I don't go on dates, which is the problem. I have yet to go on my first date or experience my first kiss :(

I definately wouldn't reveal that stuff in a dating profile.

Being on disability basically kills most of your dating options. So does not being able to drive an automobile. I'm sorry to hear about your struggles right now.

Your best bet is to either figure out how to get a job or date other aspie women that are also on disability. Also learning how to drive an automobile will increase your dating market value substantially.

Reality is all that is left when you stop believing in anything - such as when you die.

You sure? If you're hanging out with her, perhaps it's a way of torturing yourself.

Oh. Come. On. Seventeen years. You are, what 32. Yes, you may have had a bad experience but you need to flush it down the toilet. Carrying that feeling inside yourself will give off a stink. That stink is not attractive, and it stinks more than any life situation.

Your question was "Why doesn't anybody ever want me" - well, that was your answer. You need to get rid of the above. It's septic.

These things aren't helpful, really. But it's how you feel about yourself that is key. That's something you can change. The fear of dogs can be changed, too. Tried hypnotherapy with someone very good at it? It'll rock your world.

Here's something to think about: Imagine you're older, and had a 30 year old daughter. She means the world to you. What sort of man would you see her with, like her to be with? How would that guy be behaving? Perhaps you should try and be more like him...just a thought, just an idea - tell me if that's useful or not.

Don't do this. Change the inside first.

yo you should get your license, driving is fun. You can cruise in your mom's minivan. Plus when you drive, you get more freedom and chicks dig dudes who can drive.


All you have to do is get your permit then after 6 months of training, go get your license.


Once you get ur license, ur a step closer to getting a gf

LeLetch, I'm glad you're able to admit that you were taking a stab at the dark. You are speaking on philosophical topics; philosophy deals with the fundamental nature of man and reality. These are abstract topics, so rigor and precise language is of utmost importance. As with any science, the less familiar one is with the technical jargon, the more difficult it is to follow. That is not to say that not anyone can understand philosophy, but if one is interested in philosophy, one must be committed to accuracy and rigor, as with any science.

In other words, you admit to not quite understanding what irrational thought is, so to preach about it is akin to the blind leading the blind. We certainly don't want of that around here, do we? ;)

P.S. Again, you can not create reality. By definition, you cannot. You are rather describing an understanding of reality. Because understanding is volitional, it is subject to error. The defense against error is logic. Errors are caused by logical mistakes and irrational thinking.


... well, i wasn't bothering with booking up before i came forward. And i do book up, oftentimes. Setting yourself up as an expert, in comparison with my posts is swell. Makes it easier to make light of science/your posts when they're grouped together. Half the typing. If science was the solution, we'd be ahead of the curve. I suppose my lingo was misleading. My reality is real to me, from an outside perspective it is flawed with errors. Errors are intentional, and not errors.
Logic is it's own worst enemy because it defines things narrowly, and can be inexact... UNLESS, you apply more logic. It's just a vicious cycle. I prefer making dinosaur noises to amuse women. I would have never discovered it worked unless i abandoned logic. Or something like that. *shrug*
You: 'If you're going to use philosophy, at least know the proper terms.'
Me: 'See how much science sucks? It always thinks you're talking about it. I was just saying stuff i believed. Its like telling someone not to fall in love unless they understand the chemicals they're emitting, or they're essentially deluding themselves.'
Further: Boo had a mild stroke when ya made the mistake of confusing 'usually' for 'always'. It's a common delusion among the pure of logic. Things that are true are given a little too much credit, and illogical variance is discounted because of a bias against illogical thought.

Or something. The whole theme of LeLetch's post was to just shrug and do whatever you feel like. And don't be a dick about it.

Or get a university degree in psychology. If you want, feel free.

It clicked one day. I have empathy now. It has downsides i didn't expect. It's going somewhat poorly, since people tend to suck at new things. That's how you know it's true.

I've thought about it, but 1) I get distracted easily which might make driving irl a bad idea and 2) even if I did get my license I couldn't "cruise in my mom's minivan" because my parents don't have a car. They're both on Social Security and I'm on SSI so buying a car with everything else being a massive wallet rape is basically impossible...

Philosophical truths are true to those who discover them.

OP: You certainly do have a big problem. I can't imagine being in your situation.

None of us are equipped to give advice though because we haven't seen your OkCupid profile and we haven't seen what you do and say on a date.

It sounds you could seriously use some quality advice though. So help us out.

I haven't seen a pic of you yet, but the thing that I'd personally do when I feel completely undesired is to basically just exercise my ass off everyday to no end and eat healthy. (which I'm actually doing at the moment lol, but I could still go way higher in intensity though sadly enough)

It might perhaps not improve your sex-appeal when you're deemed to be hideous by society but at least people won't dare to mess with you easily because they will risk having a lick of your fist of steel due to the muscle you've built up lol.

If you believe this, then clearly your reality is different than mine and therefore not universal............

maybe you and Hale Bopp should date. You both feel like no one wants you, your both around the same age. You two were meant to be be.

What are you waiting for? send her a message
