Hi, I read the thread you posted in your signature and it confirmed my impression that you have a sense of humor

I also found the bluntness with a playful vibe of your self description (tho I think being self deprecating to the point of put downs is probably unhealthy, I agree that not calling yourself a toilet can go on the to do list) refreshing.

Looks like you're getting a lot of good suggestions. I'd say, stick with honesty and let a potential gf know what you're working on.

While wearing deodorant may have been said as a joke, basic hygiene/grooming will help. So I'd add, brush/floss, wash your clothes and keep the hair and nails clean.

Nowadays a lot of community colleges have online classes so if distance and or social anxiety have been set backs to furthering education it may be easier than you think to get an associates degree. It's been awhile since I went to community college but I think classes are still heavily subsidized if you have no money.

Sounds like you have a nice bike. I bet you can go online and find bike rides with others. Even if you only end up riding with other males they may have female friends. I met the last guy I dated because I started going to yoga classes with a female friend and he was her housemate. We all started going together and it was a nice way to get to know him.
