It's like ya'll motherfuckers need to memorize the serenity prayer.
"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
And yet every other comment on this post is "just have confidence; change how you act and look and you'll stop being rejected."
It's so silly to keep acting like attractiveness has zero to do with dating and likeability. Especially when there are permanent issues that are genetic or medical or whatever that go beyond "get a haircut and buy new clothes." American society is super judgemental in general when it comes to appearance and aging (especially toward women), and identity. It gets much worse in the dating scene, especially now that it's so frequently based on swiping left or right on a single photo and you're competing with filters. Yes, there's always the possibility of finding a group of people or a person that you fit in with, and you should always put work into finding that (if that's something you want - not everyone wants to be paired off) but let's stop throwing realism completely out the window ffs.

Things I cannot change:
OK now what?
Now you hit on autistic people. Comes with the pro that they'll be more likely to find your infodumping socially acceptable or even enjoyable.
Sounds like he's figuring out the difference.
