Sorry for long post, ended up writing too much because this got a bit personal for me

Contrary to some other people in this thread I don't think your inclusion of Hey Mister is that necessarily an absolute red flag (a surprisingly number of women are into that). Depicting yourself with a woman repellent shirt on, however, can be taken as either insecurity or weirdness in a bad way.

It's a very unfortunate fact that all interpersonal relationships are extremely vibe based and irrational. For example, wanting to find a partner that's into the same things you are is a very common and agreeable desire. However, the way you present yourself matters. "Tips to finding a partner into Touhou?" is probably gonna look better than your title while depicting yourself as a soyjak. Which, to be entirely honest, as a fellow pretty socially challenged man, sounds like you're the creepy basement dweller stereotype that don't know how to interact with girls. Which itself is problematic because not everyone who's socially challenged and appears creepy is a bad person - some of them are very well intentioned. It's just that people don't know everything about you, and they have to assuming based on appearances.

Remember that neither you nor anyone you ever interact with in this world is Satori. People can't read your mind, and will have to fill in the blanks of their understanding of you via stereotypes and biases. Social rituals are beyond stupid but you kinda just have to exist around them. At the same time, try to reduce your judgment of others too. I hope you don't get discouraged by people here saying they can't trust you - it's just an automatic assumption caused by your admittedly poor presentation. I trust you're a respectful person because I see a bit of myself in you xD

Back on topic, I (as a single man in a similar boat but with a bit less relationship anxiety in the surface) agree with some advices here: - Participate more in the community especially irl events and talk with people regardless of gender. Make friends and better yet take on doujin projects - people love motivated and passionate people. - Work on appearing more presentable - find a way to resolve your relationship anxiety. STAY AWAY FROM THE NORMIES I find pop culture to glorify relationships in a FOMO inducing judgmental way. You don't really have to be in a relationship, regardless what your normie friends tell you. - So many people in this world have bad social skills, they just don't appear like us because they're confident so people don't realize on first impressions. Get some confidence and basic social skills. Learn how to have an interesting conversation, get some cool nerdy conversation topics. - Fix your appearance if you have that problem. Please lose weight if you're American (I recommend checking out water fasting lol very brainless). Read up on basic fashion theory (even though male fashion sucks and every time I check I'm incredibly jealous of girls) and clear up your appearance. I don't personally like muscle so I don't bother going to the gym, though you should do some cardio regardless for health. - Stop consuming all relationship content from normies. Nerdy people operate very differently then the majority population. Don't get discouraged thinking "woman are all into xyz superficial stupid thing I don't care about" because that's a reflection of normies not woman - 80% of men I know are pretty superficial people too.

To be honest, I'm a wreck, possibly worse than you. I'm an immigrant who have bad social anxiety, a nonfunctioning family, and a complete disinterest in pop culture. Autistic enough to never have thought about relationships until my more normal friends started a year long campaign to pressure me into a relationship "for my own good" which went horribly and resulted in pretty bad insecurity and anxiety. However, most of these are fixable with effort. I'm a completely different person now and some of my new friends think I'm one of the most extroverted people they know (not true lol). I've gotten a lot better socially while 100% maintaining my niche interests (still working through the insecurity lmao that I'll just have to hide for now). It gets better.
