Hi everybody,

To help all you people yelling "I can't get a girl/guy!", here is suggestion:

Make fun of your own inabilities and magnify what you can do and others can't.

Your hopeless in making casual conversation, your clumsy as hell, big nose, pointy chin, whatever.
Just make a joke/remark about it, so that others won't be able too.

A good example is found in Woody Allen, in tradition of Jewish humour (link)

Hope it helps in dating!

I make fun of my lacking abilities a lot but NTs see it as me being stupid or mentally retorted

Do you do that on purpose or is it inevitable?

I'm curious, what do you do?

It's inevitable that they do think I'm stupid or worse. I try to use humor because I'm a big fan of comedy & it's nice if I can make someone lath but when I joke about myself or anything; it tends to come out wrong or they misinterpret it which is the story of my life because most everything I say or do gets misinterpreted as me being an idiot or an ass or something

As long as a part of your target audience likes it, then the rest doesn't matter.
