25 year old who will never have a job, lives on $800 a month, talks to noone, is nearly 300lbs, gets angry over little things for no reason, will hold ever lie you tell him against you, is dull, has no passion, doesn't do anything fun outside of his apartment, apartment which he doesn't clean very well and no matter how much he likes you will sometimes just want nothing to do with you.

Yah. I didn't think so.

Either work on your problems (getting a job is the hardest part here) or give a girl with similar problems a chance. A necessary evil here is to lie on the job interviews, but make sure the white lies actually hold water.

I've been through all that, so it's possible to overcome it. Remember: If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.

Frankly, I have no references, no past jobs in the last 4 years and only 2 I can remember enough to put down contact information, both of which will give bad reviews.
That aside I can't work. I burn out having to be around that many people.
I'm miserable and I don't sleep well, then I just don't show up because I can't force myself out of bed that morning.
I'm also constantly late, because frankly I don't want to be there and its hard to get myself going in the morning.

So when I say I'll never have a job, its because I can't hold a job.

I think that first and foremost, you need to work on your self-esteem issues. Based on your post it sounds like that's the main thing that is holding you back, it also sounds like you're depressed which is equally detrimental. Like the other poster said...it is possible that someone who shares all of those qualities will find them attractive...but would you yourself find those qualities attractive in a woman? The good news is that you can actively work to improve your situation in many ways, but the bad news is that it very well may be a long and difficult road.

Stop pittying yourself and change the stuff that bothers you. Who gives a s**t if it is attractive to anyone. You have actually taken the first step to realize that you do have problems... tell you a secret: They ain't gonna fix themselves. I am being hard on you because you remind me of myself about 2 years ago. I wasn't at 300 pounds, but close to it, and the rest is similar. You gotta stand up, look in the mirror and say: No more! That is what I did, and I probably was more f-ed up than you were. You have to accept that there is things in life you can't change, and that there's things you can change. My motto is: Accept what you can't change, change what you can't accept. If you are like me with AS, you probably never gonna be a barfly with thousands of people on their facebook, on their iPhone and in real life. That's something you can't change, you can only work against it. Being 300 pounds, that is something you can change. Look down in the Adult section, there is a weight losing thread. Go there, get support. It helped me - really, you can look down there and track my progress from being obese to becoming EXTREMELY skinny and to now being quite buff over the course of about 1.5 years. Not meaning to brag, I don't care what other people think of me, but if I am anything, I am a prime example that it can be done, you have to WANT it. Am I in a relationship now? No, but if you check my own thread here, I am as close as I have ever been of having a woman being interested in me in a physical manner... and it certainly didn't go that way because I sat down and complained. I don't mean to put you down. You have my sympathy, because I really feel that you are in a similar situation as I used to be. Discard those things that you can't change, focus on that that you can. Get up tomorrow, go on amazon and buy yourself equipment (really, the only thing I have is a set of dumbbells for a total of about 50 bucks... that is affordable), make yourself a plan (or let someone else help you with it - feel free to contact me, I'd be glad to help you) and get your ass in motion.

If I were you, since you have all this free time, I'd work on your weight.

Forget about self-esteem or getting a job or any of the other suggestions. You have the time, drop some pounds. Seriously, there's no excuse for you to be so glutenous.

And no, that's not a personal attack. That's my way of saying that instead of working on things collectively, or accepting everything as it is, you have to pick ONE thing...and that should be your weight since you clearly have the time to seriously get it under control.

I have trouble holding a job too, OP. I get burned out amongst too many people, and can't function. I don't know how NTs do it. My socialisation is like a bucket that fills up to the brim very quickly, and I have to go away and hide somewhere.

I don't have a lot of attractive features to women. Aspie, 30, virgin, never been kissed, lives with his parents, hasn't got a job, doesn't get out much. I have a masters degree in teaching English, and am applying for a PhD soon, those are positives. I did have a teaching job for a while last year, but couldn't hack it long term.

I did this, or am still doing it. I had a bunch of problems, and as I got some resources/opportunity, I used it to involve myself in some athletic hobbies, and it's helped everything else a lot. It's not even so much about "losing weight" as just being healthy. Learn to cook well, and find a sport or some kind of physical activity you like doing, and put yourself into it.

I am 23, I live with my parents. Until recently I haven't had any long term goals.

Let me give it to you the hard way.

if you want to be happy, you have to go and get it. You can't waste away on the couch and expect someone to put up with you and love you. You have to lose the temper also. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.

I speak from experience. No one wants someone who has given up on life. Women like men who are driven and goal oriented. Its the sad truth.

This is great advice., losing weight itself makes you feel good about yourself plus you look younger when lose weight. I went from 196 one time to 170 and was told that I looked younger by a freind I had not seen in a few months, the better you feel about yourslef the better things will be. It really does suck at first to do cardio, but its so worth it if you keep on it.

How about finding a job related to one of your focused interests that doesn't involve much socialization?

Working in technology is one of those options, if you're into it.

You've got to start somewhere.

How's this for a two-fer? Night watchman or even night cleanup crew. You could get some exercise patrolling the building or pushing a broom as well as some money without being surrounded by other people. You'll also lose the "unemployed couch-potato" stigma.

Just a wild idea... [shrug] Good luck... just remember that any step forward is a step forward!

All of this is easier said then done and none of it is anything I don't know.
Although I find it funny that the first thing people latch onto is my weight, like all fat people are miserable for that reason.
Its not like if I weigh 100 pounds less I'll suddenly be attractive, I'll just be physically healthier.
I'll still be f****d up.

That said, I really was just bitching, didn't expect anyone to actually respond.

You will be more attractive.

Even my relatively small weight loss from 230, to 215, to 180 made a world of difference with girls.
