As a single (Maybe neurodivergent?) 30 year old male, what other option I have?

Some people just have to work harder in certain fields than others. You're skills may be in building, writing, gardening or something else but they're not in attracting a wide variety of matches and that's ok. I also suck at making dating profiles, don't photograph well and don't have the most interesting job.
I just need to put in more hours on Hinge and reach out to more people than a friend of mine who says he just opens the app and can get a date within the hour.
For context, if I'm actively looking I can usually swing one or two dates a month which is fine for my schedule as I work and have other things I'm doing in my free time. I'm also in my 30s so am matching with people who also have busy schedules which makes scheduling even harder.

When woman say, that men are poor quality commodities it's funny you see?
I think you'll be okay -
It’s hard for weirdos to find other weirdos because all weirdos have some level of social anxiety. Ask me how I know.
Make a lemmy community for dating.

This can backfire too though, since women assume any man coming to these events is just looking to hook up, so their guard is high. It's also kind of shitty to make all extracurricular activities into dating events imo. People should have a space away from that pressure.
Honestly for me the best way to meet single is to have married friends who can play matchmaker. Of course that requires you to have friends, which brings us back to square one.
When the ratio is that high, you can be certain there will also be women looking to hook up.

I’ve given up entirely on relationships at this point. Anyone who is willing to date a trans guy is “poly” and I am absolutely done with that shit.
Hookups suck but it’s a distraction from how shit the world is.

Perfect! You'll meet your person when you least expect it. There's a big day coming for you.

This post is pointing out that few men want to date 'older' women while men of all ages want to date younger women.
It's wild how discussing age and gender inequality in dating is considered misandry.
I want to date older women.

I can vouch that the friend of a friend connection works really well.

38 year old man here: you're gonna be alone whether your dick's in a woman or not. If you want companionship get a golden retriever and if you want your dick serviced be advised the Japanese do some pretty interesting things with silicone rubber these days.

Pretty sure that's how catch a predator got their content.
You'd do way better by doing that in the cheese aisle.
You got it all wrong. The cheese isle is to attract women. It fascinates them.
To attract men, you just have to look confused in the WWII section.

I still remember when bumble had to change their entire premise and business model because as it turns out women are worse at starting conversations than men lmao.
I wholeheartedly believe that the Internet and smart phones have been the biggest double edge swords in human history. We have the entire globes collected knowledge at our fingertips with the ability to connect with any other person on the planet instantly and it has caused the largest shift in loneliness and depression ever.
Humans simply are not wired for social media and the Internet. Seeing every single person you know posting themselves beautiful and dressed up doing the coolest things 24/7 will make anyone feel ugly and like they aren't doing anything with their lives. It takes real focused effort to remember that people (generally) only post when they are doing something special and what you don't see are the days or weeks between posts that show they live the same boring life you live.
I'm ranting for no reason. I think when we lost in person social gatherings as the primary method of meeting new people is when society kicked that concrete block off the cliff. Right now we are just waiting for the rope to snap taught and drag us all into the abyss.

Dating is hard for everyone in one way or another, and, speaking as one, several ways for those who look pretty dead average but have trouble socializing and really only go between home and work. I don't even feel like I'm that picky; no cigarettes, no kids, yes empathy, and a complementary flavor of weird/neurodivergence.
Pokemon Go will probably net you 2 of those at least.

I’ll be honest. I developed more engaging relationships through sugar daddy websites than I ever had through dating sites. And I didn’t spend any money on the sugar babies. I would let my personality carry the relationship and it worked out for a while. Then I made fun of someone trying to do what seemed like. A set up to mug me for money. That got me banned from the site. Miss those days.

So does the golden retriever!

It's probably better than the sea of picless profiles of "discreet" married "straight" men on Grindr.
Something specifically designed for hookups isn't exactly the best place to go for viable dating partners.

This implies Tinder isn't also just used as a hookup app.

Sometimes the no kids thing, can be a huge red flag, a lot of the incel / women hating types put no kids. There's a lot of them out there and they're really extreme, you might be limiting your dating pool by wanting someone who doesn't have kids but then if you're into never having kids, that's a different thing, entirely.
