Do we have more luck getting one night stands?
Good luck, Jamesy.
I wonder why they would want to do it to me though? I am always polite to them.
When another man mocks you like that it makes him feel big. Gives him a confidence boost.
Maybe if that happens and you tell him to go $%^& himself he'll think twice and you'll get the confidence boost. Although if he is apt to start a fight then he is not your friend at all, or you could come up with a witty insult for him. He cant start a fight based on that because he insulted you first.

It also depends on your gender. For autistic women, unless they're very unattractive and/or very overweight, getting hookups and ONS's will be very easy. I know an autistic woman who was average at best, maybe even a little below average in the face, but had absolutely no problems with meeting guys at bars. But then again, she was a wild and sexually adventurous sorority girl.
For men on the other hand, a lot of how easy hooking up will be is based on your looks. If you have a decent body, decent face, not overweight, not too short (under 5 ft 7), and decent social skills, you can generally be successful in that type of avenue. Traditionally unattractive men will struggle.
No wonder a lot of men transition to womanhood. I think I read that MTF transgender is more common than FTM transgender.
He knows getting a job would make it easier to obtain what he desires—but he feels sort of stymied by whatever is preventing him from getting a job. I wish he had more support if he takes the plunge and tries working.
For sure, though, the pub is an agent which puts him further down the rabbit hole. The patrons there don’t have his best interests at heart. They have their own problems, and they might use James as sort of a punching bag.
He should find some other sort of socialization venue.

Perhaps you could try another way to socialize with others offline James, like maybe do some volunteer/charity work or joining a support group. Don't join with the expectation that you will get a romantic relationship thou; join for self-improvement, helping others, & getting in needed social interaction. You can still go to the bar & hang out if you want but going to the bar should not be your main focus. It's common for people to go to bars on Fridays after work or on Saturday nights as their reward/treat for going to work or school during the week.

Yeah like I said before I only go to the bar on a Friday or Saturday.

Good luck, Jamesy.
These days I don't go to bars to meet a women. I am to much of an emotional mess to have a girlfriend.
You have been given a great deal of advice on this issue. It is surprising that you have followed none of it.
This was definitely true for me. In my younger days, I had plenty of brief encounters--but I was too weird for the women to stick around for long.
This improved for 2 reasons. 1) I developed some social skills through many years of trial and error, and 2) I learned to avoid getting involved with conventional women, as they probably wouldn't stay interested (and I usually find them boring anyway). Geeky, eccentric artistic / intellectual women are much better for me.

That's good advice

Jamesey, where do you live? Are you American?
Please look into prostitution in your area, and its legalities. If you are interested in simply hiring an escort for kissing, please note that this is not considered a sexual action by law and thus paying money to kiss does not count as prostitution.
You can also look up Love Dolls, which look almost exactly like women and only cost around 1.5k dollars. You NEED to get a job though, even if its through a disability program.
There you go, some unconventional advice you can apply without playing the "social game". Enjoy.
This is how it's been for me as well usually.

If I relied upon bars in my search for love, I’d be a 61-year-old virgin.
I did better when I made friends with a girl—then asked her for a date.

I have been going out regurley on the weekends for nearly 10 years now and have never managed to get myself a one night stand or the opportunity to have sex. In my life I have attended a fair amount of house parties to.


Do you go out with the intent of chatting up girls & make attempts to create one night stand opportunities and then take action to further that objective ?
Big difference between someone who physically moves their body into a bar and stands around in silence drinking pints and someone who goes and chats up girls every night out until he clicks with one to go home with.

Not my style at all I am usually more the reserved type of guy.
Unfortunately where I live in England southern girls are more standoffish and reserved compared to woman who live in the North of England or Scotland. Northern women are much more friendly and approach a man first.
My dad however did make a joke aimed at me saying “Northern women will talk to anyone”

And they cannot compete with men who also have their own means of motorized transportation.
The latter is certainly true in most parts of the USA.
However, in some parts of New York City, it is perfectly acceptable not to have a car. Even many well-to-do people don't have cars here.
I suspect that the same is true in at least some European cities, which tend to be more densely populated (and have better public transportation) than most American cities.
