let's pretend I were to start focusing on my own age bracket. After thinking on it, I have my doubts of how much better my luck would really be.
I'd still be swimming against the current because of my ASD. The vast majority of the female population will never find an autist sexually exciting.
In conclusion, I circle back to what I said at the beginning of my post (I'm swimming against the current even with broads close in age to me)
Your ASD does not make you that special. The conventional mating environment is challenging for neurotypicals who have a healthy range BMI and are looking to date women close to their age.
Neurotypicals don't throw up their hands and give up on dating women in the own age bracket because the environment is tough. Neurotypicals under 35 don't decide that dating menopausal/post menopausal women is the solution to their problems. I can't think of any neurotypical who would choose that solution if he were having a problem in the conventional mating market.
A neurotypical with a strong mindset will engage in self-improvement tactics to get pussie near his own age. He might try to level up in his fitness or career to improve looks/money/status. Improving looks/money/status can help with getting pussie.
You need to improve mindset, which covers the personality side of the attraction/seduction equation.
The current mating environment really stinks for a lot of men. It's bad out there. You're not doing yourself any favors with your mindset.
The fact I was viewed as the freaky creep no girl wanted in high school, as well as the fact I relied on tech methods in college, goes to show what broads born in the 1989-94 range think of me.
It's true that you received negative feedback from the market in high school and in college. That stinks for you.
You finished high school 15 years ago. That shouldn't be relevant anymore. If you finished college in 4-5 years after high school, that means college is 10 years in the past.
You are letting old information guide the present. At a certain point, information becomes outdated and is no longer relevant.
I am TOTALLY UNIMPRESSED with the work that you have done in psychotherapy with various psychologists and/or psychiatrists. This is something that should have been fixed in talk therapy and/or with medication a long time ago.
You need to bring in new mental health professionals to assess your current situation and help you work past these old problems. Only mental health professionals can do this. No SoSuave forum poster can help you fix your mindset problems unless you take the initiative and fix your problems with the correct therapy and medication process as diagnosed and guided by a licensed mental health professional.
there was my last date (back in 2023) with the 1985 baby (which is still relatively close in age to me). It took all of 4 days for her to start giving me attitude.
So what? I could go on a date with a 1985 born woman within the next week and she could start giving me attitude within 4 days. That's nothing special.
If I went on a date with a woman born in 1985 this week and she showed that she had an attitude problem, I would get rid of her as fast as I could. I would want nothing to do with her.
I can give you an example of a woman who gave me bad attitude and I punted her over it.
At some point in the 2010s, I set up a date from a swipe app. At the time, my car was over 10 years old. It was a car that was mechanically sound and in good shape. It looked good on the outside too. She gave me attitude on the first date about having an old car as she had a less than 2 year old luxury car at the time (it was one of those crossover models). I punted her fast over her attitude that my car was trash. I didn't try to bang her and I didn't want to be around someone with her bad attitude over my car.
Also, for you, a 1985 woman is like a 1977 woman for me. I don't go on dates with women born in 1977. That would be a waste of my time. I'm not going to get what I want out of a woman born in 1977 and she's not going to get what she wants out of me.
