Far out, 22 years, hats off to ya man.

While looks are an obstacle I think the bigger one is that I have very poor social skills. Due to my autism I find it incredibly difficult to read social cues like body language, facial expressions, etc, and I have trouble holding a conversation since I get stuck on what to say next and struggle to construct sentences on the fly.

I find your situation to be an interesting one, because you seem to have a strong understanding of society, but your autism presents an obstacle in execution. We had started to talk about it on the Games vs Sex thread, but the next day I couldn't log into VGC. The log in button literally disappeared from my iPhone screen for two weeks. Then it mysteriously appeared again.

A lot of people with autism typically have the same issue. It takes them quite some time to gain social skills

 

To make it worse, one of my friends was a heavily sheltered and autistic person. It felt terrible to see him not know why he wasn't considered a fun dude to be around
