I have come across a crisis in terms of meeting women.

Have tried all major dating websites for a month created profile uploaded my pictures and liked about 100 women on each website, i went for the most unattractive and down to earth looking women who dress simple or have no makeup or overweight.

In one month i got zero likes back from either website.

Only got few like 5 messages from women who are 15 years older than me (45-50) and some of whom are single mothers.

I tried Craigslist "platonic relationship" section before they took it down to find that i get zero answers there either.

So i come to a point where i have no effective way to meet women online.

Now regarding offline. I can meet women offline on the street, however they all are so trashy and low life i have no use for them because i am trying to get a long term relationship.

Any advice?

Rule 16 states that there are no females on the internet.

I tried the same sort of thing re dating sites a whole back, with a similar lack of success. My only advice is, in all honesty - give it up. I think your statement about women IRL is wrong. You may be half right when it comes to meeting women in clubs and the like, but there must, one assumes, be at least as many decent women elsewhere as men. Join a sports club, get a job, volunteer, join book clubs, wine clubs and so forth - these are the places you'll find decent women.

I'm not interested in dating, but in my experience sports clubs are the best way to meet people. I've met so many people in the 4 sports clubs I belong to who I still socialise with regularly.
You don't even have to play sport to join, a lot of them have a social only member option or you can take an admin role if you want.

I’ve been on all the dating sites for 12+ years
I’ve liked thousands and thousands of women
And you’ve probably got more messages then me in a month, so keep at it I guess as women seem to find you worthy.
Month isn’t really a good amount of time to consider it a failure

What if you don’t like sports at all?

Okay, with the smorgasbord of profiles on online dating sites, people in general, but particularly women are going to have inflated standards online relative to real life. If you find that even messaging women who most men probably wouldn't be interested in doesn't get you any response, either your profile and photos aren't particularly interesting and don't resonate with other people, or you're just not going to have any luck with online dating. In either case, you'd do well to put yourself in social situations where you can meet women, either through interest groups or social groups. You're likely not going to meet a future girlfriend on the street, and judging people like you have here probably isn't going to help if people can pick up on those negative judgements.

How is that helpful if a relationship is the goal?

The OP said the women he meets offline are trashy or low lifes. The women at a strip club would just reinforce his belief that offline women are those things.

Yeah, I hate to admit this but online dating is a total dud. I should be canceling my profiles on these sites too.

Forget that. An aspies best options are through work or hobbies/special interests.

For NTs friends are another option, but most aspies can forget that one.

Meeting someone here may be a better option than any dating forum, provided you can move to where your partner lives.
