Do or not do? I am super torn.

One person is a volunteer who no longer volunteers at my job and another is a man working down the street from my houses who I know from frequenting his work.

I am so curious to understand why these guys want to date/ sleep with a woman that is twice their age. (At least for the 27 year old except he thought I was 45 until I shared my actual age)

When I was 27, I was in a LTR and thought that person was the one. Meanwhile these guys are like- hey lady- let's get it on.

Has this always been a thing?

How does someone make friends with people over 50 who might be on the spectrum?

I'm autistic and my best friend died during COVID and I'm married but my husband is boring, there's no nicer way to say it, and I mostly an introverted person & very direct like and I like to do things once in awhile like go to the jazz fest take a day trip somewhere Go to the beach and listen to some music or just talk or read a book go to the library go out to eat once in awhile, I don't know how to make friends here especially being autistic because I don't go to the clubs I don't go out to drink I go to the movies and stuff often by myself and I would love to get a group of people together who are on the spectrum to do things like go to the gym go walk together explore trails go on some day trip adventures, are there any groups out there that I'm not aware of, I've tried some of the apps but people are kind of creepy on there and think you want to hook up and I don't want to hook up I just want to be friends

I have lost 5 pounds, 15 more to go
