    I kinda feel like this is a sincere attempt to improve his chances, and while yes I see the creepiness, I feel a bit sad for him also.

    Willing to bet a makeover would help him more than anything he puts on a shirt, and no one in his life to tell him that.

      All we can see is his haircut (he’s lined up fine), his glasses (nothing obvious) and his shirt (odd). I think it’s a jump to say a make over will do this man more good than not wearing a shirt that says “I want to have sex with the youngest woman I legally can.” Which comes off like minimum wage thinking, sort of how they’d pay you less if it were legal.

      What’d help them most would be adjusting who they’re interested in. It’s easiest to click with someone of a similar age group with a similar amount of relationship experience. Neurodivs also tend to click best with other neurodivs. It’s easiest to meet through a shared hobby or interest- partner and I are both neurodiv and met by nerding out over our respective research projects, at a semi quiet bday event.

        Regardless, if he had someone in his life to guide him in any way, I can bet that’s not the approach he’d be taking. This kid landed here by neglect, I guarantee it.
