    Can an interest in romance be a special interest?

    I am just putting myself out there online and on dating apps as much as possible every single day in order to try and meet people and get dates. That is my only plan. I know it will be a lot of hard work, but I am more than ready for it.

    How to get over a lack of social life when trying to date?

    I am really only looking online and on dating apps for the time being. I do not mind dating introverts at all. I am a bit of a homebody myself so that is perfect. I am probably not comfertbale just sort of randomly approaching women out and about and asking them out. But I am on several dating...

    Can an interest in romance be a special interest?

    In graduate school I learned to stop worrying about what one word means. And what another person means with a word. To me it ultimately does not matter what other people think or say (besides one person I guess). If people want to call it something else that is totally fine. But it is what...

    Can an interest in romance be a special interest?

    I have to admit I sometimes feel like I just do not fit in with anybody. I am autistic, but people typically assume that means I have special interests or hobbies. Alas I have neither. My mind just does not work that way. I am more eclectic with my interests and pursuits. Nothing keeps my...

    How to get over a lack of social life when trying to date?

    One of (if not the most) frequent pieces of advice online about trying to date is to join group activities and be friends with people before asking them out. Whether this works or not does not really concern me. The blunt truth is I do not do the whole friendship thing, and I do not do group...

    How to better sell my lifestyle when it comes to modern dating standards?

    On the whole I would say I completely agree with you. I will tell a quick story. A few years ago, I was living on my own. My parents had bought me a little townhouse (they are upper middle class) and I was working a very basic 30,000 dollar a year job. None of it was fancy but I was proud of...

    How to better sell my lifestyle when it comes to modern dating standards?

    I do not know what to tell you other than I am very happy and content with where I live. I do not plan on moving out any time soon. I have no shame or unhappiness living with my parents. If someone does not want to date me because I live with my parents that is totally fine. But I am going to...

    AI-Generated Porn...!

    I do real work. When you work with your hands and body no one gives a damn what you do in your off hours.

    AI-Generated Porn...!

    Look, personally I would be plenty happy to have a ton of nude photos and videos of me out there on the internet. Alas there does not seem to be much of a market for such a thing. Shame really.

    How to better sell my lifestyle when it comes to modern dating standards?

    The harsh truth when it comes to dating is that everyone has standards of one sort or another. Another harsh truth (at least for me personally) is that I typically do not meet these standards. I do not have a ton of friends or an active social life; I am not currently employed (I certainly do...

    Dating Corner

    Oh ok. I get that. But I try not to worry about things like that. I only really concern myself with my own issues and my own concerns. I figure everyone is running their own race and has their own end goals in mine. My biggest (and really only) goal in life is to be in a relationship. I have no...
