Manosphere street smarts

An intro: I'm in my 50s and self-dx'd with Asperger's. My whole life made sense when I figured it out; it halved my problems. I used to be lucky if I lasted three months at a job; now I can last more than three years like an NT. Actually I'm not looking for a date; using NT dating apps I'm in another relationship with an NT, this one my age. I'm not trying to literally sell anything. I just want to share some manosphere street smarts with my brothers on the spectrum so they have a shot at the love, sex, marriage, and fatherhood that NTs have. I have the classic complaint of spectrum folk: why don't people say what they mean? Why don't they mean what they say? I'm grieving a 10-year relationship and was on the dating merry-go-round much of last year and hated it. I can handle rejection just fine: "no, thank you," "I'm not interested," and "I've changed my mind." Cool. Like most of you I respect honesty. Anyway, quick tip for men: you don't have to look like Tom Brady or be a millionaire though they help. Seriously, ***don't be needy and be just a little reserved and mysterious***. Few things are as unattractive as nagging a girl for a date. Neediness is why 90% of nice guys are shot down. And forget Hollywood, please. The dogged nice guy winning the girl's love by being a good friend first? Rubbish. You don't want to be a bridesmaid, doing a woman's chores without romance, or her online fan club, a beta orbiter. Many women want cheap male attention to boost their egos. The friendzone is real and a dead end. If you're too scared to really make a move like saying "I'd like to take you out to dinner," not "let's hang out," you will fail, simple as that. Mainstream society lies, lies, lies. Men are primarily attracted to looks; women to status and power. Don't beg, and hold back JUST a bit, and you'll have a chance. Of course love and sex are wonderful - they make the world go round, and when you're young they make babies! And especially as I get older, the companionship and security are as important as the sex. I like the idea of demisexuality, only being attracted to those you have a deep connection with. I'm becoming like that. Have fun and know I'm in your court, guys.
