Yeah I mean I don't envy your experiences. I understand that those things also suck. As a woman, losing a physical confrontation against a man is almost a given if you're not much better trained than him. Which makes a bunch of situations much more dangerous than if you're a man facing a dangerous woman.
I can't perfectly put myself in your shoes, but if I would imagine that women were much stronger than me, I'd still like to take the risk. I'd rather have the chance for good experiences and risk, than no risk but also no good experiences.
As for the advice, thank you. I'm already using most of my trusted female advice options, and I think I have a pretty good profile. But I could definitely do more and get better pictures. But it is very annoying to do so, and I accepted and am mostly fine with being alone. So while I could do more, I have no interest in allocating more effort than I already do. If it is meant to be that I'll be alone the rest of my life, then ok, if I find someone then even better.
Also I had no idea there was an autistic dating app, though I doubt it'll have any users where I live :) I'll try it
