I have come back to this place after a long absence because I couldn't stand hearing "be high value, know everyone, have your fat career and social circle" and every other post a success story from a 6'5" guy in a fraternity party, obviously, being the polar opposite of everything related to all that stuff... well, it looked like rubbing salt in the wound. I couldn't justify being here.

Have the other unconventional folks gone away? I'm autistic with quasi-learning issues--I can't pay attention, despite having a strong intellect--and basically cannot live a normal life as a result. It seems like I came back to the same nasty, status-obsessed Reddit that I left months ago, and now wishing I never came back at all. Seeing posts from women saying "be tall and alpha to have sex, be a career man with money to have relationships, or forget it" and personal ads from women that say "6 foot, 6 figures, college education, or don't talk to me" and I cannot understand this kind of bullshit or how anyone who reads it can accept it without wanting to crawl into a black hole.

Where are the success stories for the men with real problems who cannot participate in a society that preaches "greatness at all times" or forget it? ("Make shit up at all times" is the way to cope, i guess... but acting like I'm amazing without being it... it's not happening for me)
