I'm a 26 year old virgin, just turned 26 last month. I've never had a girlfriend, kissed, or even been on a date. In fact I don't think any girl has even flirted with me or shown interest in my entire life. I've never asked a girl out either though.

I also haven't had friends since high school. Currently I work at Chipotle for twice minimum wage so I don't have a good job either. I live with my parents too.

Am I just ugly? I put two pictures of me here. People have said I look like a psychopath in real life. I'm not overweight so I don't think that's the problem. Or is it a social issue?

You make twice the minimum wage and you're complaining about it?

Theres your problem.

You look fine, even good. But I would guess from the fact you are posting here, this:
>I also haven't had friends since high school
And this:
>People have said I look like a psychopath in real life.
That you have autism, which is your real problem.

As a side note, when people on this board say things like "people have told me I look attractive in real life" you're all bullshitting, right? People aren't just walking up to people and saying 'you look attractive' or 'you look like a psycopath', right?

These are bad photos your face looks swollen. Youโ€™re either obese or hold a lot of water in your face for some reason.
You look like you were created in the elder scrolls oblivion engine

Fellow 26-year-old KHHV here. I'd say I'm uglier than you (and used to be even uglier before I got a jaw surgery and lost some weight), equally as autistic, and in the same life situation. But I had women be interested in me in all the schools and jobs I've been to, ranging from initiating a conversation (only a friendly one, but she was a 10/10 upper-class girl, so that counts as well) to borderline stalking me. I didn't take my chances, so it only got me a total of one date. I can still boast about a 100% success rate, though, as I only ever asked a girl out once in my life, lol.
Anyway, this makes me think it's not only about the looks. If people say you look like a psychopath, you're probably giving off a bad vibe. They tell me I look angry or sad all the time, but they still stop by and chat with me from time to time. Unfortunately, I've never tried to change others' perception of myself, so I can't help you with that.
So yeah... just my experience, maybe you can extract something from it...

Thats an issue

>I look like a psychopath
That 100% will work against you, but also understand thats not a default you look like a psychopath thing. Its more your resting facial expression, how you dress, the way you come across kind of thing. The overall sense of "you" people get talking to you. Thats fixable.

But these pictures, your looks are not the problem. Real talk.

I won't read calendar of doom threads. I won't read threads by subhuman morons who can spend all day staring in the mirror and wonder what's wrong with them. I won't read threads by subhuman morons who divide their time entirely between shitty service job and home while never talking to anyone and then wondering why they don't meet anyone. tldr: chronic mis-attention issue.

you look normal mate, I know dudes who are objectively ugly and they have decent looking gfs. I'd say it's a social issue for sure, try to join a club or something related to your hobbies if you have any and try to make friends in said clubs and build your social circle. You could also try making friends at work too but I find that it's harder to make friends that way, depending on your coworkers, job duties, etc. Idk just try stepping out of your comfort zone, it seems daunting but that's the only way you'll get out of a rut, being uncomfortable with new experiences is a good thing

I was in a similar situation when I was 26. When I was 27 when I got my first girlfriend. The main difference between you and me is that I had lots of friends and hobbies. I think the fact that you have no social life is going to be a huge red flag. What kind of hobbies do you have?

This question is answered 5 times a day.
the answers are always the same because they are the truth.
Do social things.
Get friends and be friendly with them. make sure some of your friends are women.
None of this is actually hard, you just make it hard.

The reason is because they're all larping or really old. All women in the 18-24 age range just go to their job or school, then go home and browse social media. If they go out, they go out because they were invited by friends they made in school or at work. Clubs and all the default bullshit larpers recommend do not exist for zoomers. At least in the UK, I don't know about the situation in the US, I would assume it's the exact same though. That's my experience at least.

Come now.
Physicaly speaking to women is not the same as asking them to date you.
Cold approaching works less effectively than the internet.

At least be honest and sane with your insults

FWIW clubs etc. do exist from 25 onwards. I'd guess that you're roughly right from 18-24. I met a shitload of girls that age in university (in social clubs, night clubs, class etc.), but idk where I'd look if I wasn't in university at the time

yes

what do you even do with your free time
>>33373814
>>33373914
practically all the places that existed 20 or 40 years ago are still around. Yes a few of them are more or less completely wiped off the map of most places, or if they're still around there are fewer of them.

But it's not like bars/pubs/pool halls/indie rock cafรฉs/night clubs/warehouse raves and bookstores/record stores/specialty shops as well as gym/other sporting social events are completely wiped off the map everywhere and a thing of the past.

It could be anything anywhere, go to a renaissance fair or LARP group, arcades are making a comeback, learn skateboarding and buy weed from 19 year olds under a bridge, etc. The world is your playground my dude

Well, we identified the first problem.
