Should I just give up?

I've been searching for a woman that wants to be my girlfriend, but they all don't seem to want a boyfriend.

I thought girls wanted romance and love and shit.

Right?

Should I go on a date with this girl or am I just wasting my time?
arranged marriage
I have been talking to this girl who has been showing hella interest in me and wants to go on a date this weekend.

However I'm not really attracted to her since she is kind of chubby and her face is mid.

The only reason I was entertaining her is because she is blonde and her tits are huge.

I could smash and dash but I don't want to play with anybody's feelings I'm thinking about just blocking her.

I want to find a girl who I have a future with not a one night stand but unfortunately I don't have any other options right now and I'm still a virgin at 19 even though I'm decent looking I'm just introverted and don't approach girls often.
I think I should improve myself to attract a girl I actually want instead of wasting my time.

Want to ask a Russian girl out but some people tell me that the culture is too different and I "wouldn't want my children being raised by someone who is completely different to I am." Are Russian/ Slavic girls incompatible with regular white guys? Do you consider Slavic people white? Any experiences?

How to start making more money?
1690252163560488
I'm not broke/paycheck to paycheck, but not really making much money to save/put away either.

Born to poor parents who are basically in the same financial situation as me. So they can't just magically loan me money to begin success like how most successful people seem to forget to mention

How do I fix this? I work a blue collar job installing cabinets/closets etc in houses. I do a lot of music stuff too, and have ways to make very light passive income but I don't want to turn it into feeling like a job.

It doesn't help living in Canada. Food is expensive and rent is through the roof. Fucking towelheads charging enough for rent and utilities where with 2 other roommates rent was still $1000. I don't even live in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary or any other big city.

I want realistic, feasible ways to improve my financial situation without having to get a 2nd job or move. Haven't really looked into investing/all that financebro shit, it all just seems like male MLM's and smoke and mirrors. What do you people reccommend?

Never dated
Screenshot 2025-04-02 at 3.22.53 PM
Hit my 30s and never dated. Don't know where to begin. I have a hobby, but it is very male centric sport (fencing). I'm not very sociable (obviously bad but I can be pretty good at it sometimes). Don't know what other activities I would do that would get me out there.

Is seeing a female therapist/dating coach worth looking into for this?

Im a dude who was molested by my stepdad. Mom was an alkie and didn't care. When I was 17 my dad started a gay pornhub channel, put a mask on me and for 7 years we did porn where I was the twink, he was the bear etc.

Eventually I finished college and got a job in finance. I met my girlfriend and never told her about this. But now my stepdad is blackmailing me to pay his rent in exchange for not telling his girlfriend. I haven't responded to the message. What should I do? My girlfriends family is Mormon and I am worried they will make us break up.

no friends my age

I'm a senior in college and I'm about to graduate and I haven't made a single friend in school during my entire 4 years of studying. I have friends, but they are all older (50 yo +). I go out often, but there are no zoomers anywhere. I lived on campus for the first few years, which was a lonely experience despite being active in clubs and activities, and I'm now commuting which is ironically a little less lonely since I can hang out with my older friends more.
How do I make friends my age or find women that are my age? I go out and there are no white women anywhere.

Explanation for “break up?”
IMG_1193
Im a femanon who is trying to find a guy on soc, and I hit it off with someone. Our first vc was 6 hours, but I told him I couldn’t date him unless it was casual because he’s across the ocean. Over the week, we were connecting with each other, flirting, and watched a movie together. He asked me to call him pet names, and said sappy things that I reciprocated.

However, we disagreed on a few fundamental things. Many of my friends are trans, and he think it’s all a fetish. He thinks having exes as friends “rots the soul,” but I have a good friendship with both of them. I considered breaking things off, but decided I’d stick with it because he said himself that he was open to changing his mind about trans people.

Things were normal, but then literally within a half hour of him asking me to call him darling, he said that he “sees now” that we will never date because casualness “cheapens” his future relationships. I asked him to call, agreed that it was a logical decision because of his values, and asked if he genuinely liked me or if he was just eager to date anyone. He says he genuinely liked me, and that he was uncertain about dating ever since I told him my stance on long distance that week ago. He then blocked me. I thought we could’ve stayed friends.

I realized I made a mistake, and sent a long message saying that I genuinely enjoyed his company and was mistaken in being overly detached with an alt account. He said no and then “embittered” my view of him by saying rightoid bs I don’t care about. Then, he blocked me again.

What the hell is this? I just don’t get how a person can say “I think we are perfect together” and then later do this shit within the span of a week. The reason he ended things was because of casualness, but how is chasing after him and admitting to my mistake not a change from that one barrier?

/htgwg/ - How to Get Women General #294
1520196390176
>What is /htgwg/?
How to Get Women General is by men, for men, about women, so bring all of your questions about getting and dealing with women here. Some anons on this site actually get laid, and some of those even want to help. If you're trying to meet and date women, then this is the place to ask questions, seek advice, and share experiences. We know how hard it can be. We got you bro.

>What is /htgwg/ not?
These threads are NOT for whining, moping, incels, volcels, MGTOW, hopelessness, or demoralization. We're all aware that meeting and dating women is hard these days, and even harder for some, but /htgwg/ is for men trying to overcome the challenges. IGNORE the posters who complain, have given up, or insist that there's nothing they can do. This site has other boards and threads that they can pollute. BE SMART: Spot the bait, don't reply, and DON'T WASTE TIME ARGUING WITH THEM!

>How to ask for advice
Context is important: be more specific than "This girl ghosted me, why?" We can't help if we don't know the situation, so try to provide as much (useful) info as possible ("I was at the bar, this chick was checking me out..."). What's your relationship with the girl? How long have you known her? Any conversation screenshots? Etc... Don't forget to ask an actual question.

At a point in my long term relationship where decisions are to be made or else it's over. mostly around meeting my family and moving in together. I haven't met his parents either, but they live abroad and don't speak English. I'm too chicken shit to introduce my partner and parents to each other. I've never introduced my parents to any romantic partner I've had, or even friends of the opposite sex. I'm terrified of leaving my father alone after my mom left, terrified of growing older and becoming independent. I don't have any friends, and really only got my dad and bf. I know they won't get along, and it makes me feel weird to imagine a situation where we're all together. I don't blame him if he leaves me, he probably deserves better. I don't know if I could ever put all the work into making another long term relationship happen, so this will probably be the last one. I work at a start up and it seems it's slowly falling apart, wanna quit my job anyways and return to university this September to start again. but everything feels so bothersome I kind of just want to clock out to avoid addressing the situations I've created for myself. Ik it's cowardly and retarded, I know I got issues and probably am autistic or got some other social problem. or just am severly lonely and depressed. don't really know what advice I want, im just bitching

How does one obtain military training while still remaining a civilian?
I am from eastern europe, more specifically romania and I would be interested in getting trained as a soldier for many different reasons.
However due to high probability of conscription I would rather not be on any list of military trained men(if the training my government provided was of any worth at all).
In my country you can't even have a knife on you while being on public property much less own a gun unless you're a high ranking government employee. So this possibility is out.
Nor am I medically able to serve in the french foreign legion due to chronic diseases.

Focus on the positives even if it is crazy
tumblr_inline_nsm3t3rIxC1siyyqt_250
Never justify your depression. You can have all the evidence in the world to justify your depression, but there will always be someone who has gone through worse who believes their life has meaning.

I recently watched a documentary on people in death row and learned that if they can be optimistic that they'll one day be free even if it is hopeless, we can be the same with this girlfriend thing, this NEET lifestyle, this hopeless we all face.

Stop giving yourself evidence to be depressed. Be yourself and enjoy life, and it doesn't even matter if one second out of your day was good, focus on that.

My FTM trans son was diagnosed with severe post traumatic stress, bpd, POTS, ehler's-danos syndrome and anxiety two years ago due to emotionally and abusive treatment at the hands of my ex husband (his father). His therapist said that a service dog would do wonders to help him so we looked into several rescue companies and met many dogs before we met our boy, Bingo. From the minute these two met they were inseparable and an immediate bond was formed. As a single mom who gets very little financial support we found ourselves working with a trainer that was AKC certified and said Bingo had so much potential. However, the trainer slowly ghosted us over time and we are not qualified to train a dog for service work and the programs that we are seeing either want to train a dog and then have you bond to it, which would not be ideal since Bingo and my son are already super bonded. Or, which is really the case with all options - is too costly on my single mom income.

Bingo is AMAZING at responding to my son’s triggers and alerts and the two love each other a lot. The problem is public training. He loves people and wants to jump and play and has a hard time staying focused on my son unless he alerts to a panic attack.

Bingo was supposed to start attending school with my son after Christmas break but with losing our trainer we have not been able to get Bingo to a place where he can be considered a trained service dog.

My son needs to be able to have Bingo all set for when he leaves for college in September and I just can’t do it on my own and haven’t found an my other options I can afford. We are really starting to worry and not sure what we should do.

ANY advice would be very much appreciated

trading
1742576804758400
today I am freshly 18
and for the past few months I've been thinking about getting into trading instead of pursuing a conventional career.
it's something you can do at home, by yourself with very little equipment. i think maybe I could start with paper trading, learning the ins and outs for several months with a few books and videos, I'll avoid any courses or "gurus".
afterwards I could start actually trading, not focusing on monetary returns but just paying attention to percentages, i'd only be trading pennies at this point, so there's no risk of me fucking up majorly.
i'll document, what I do wrong and what I do right and how I can improve. upping the amount of money I put in slowly over time. i think maybe after 3-4 years of this I could become decently profitable and make a living wage and maybe have enough money to put into long term investments?
I'm not looking to be a millionaire, i just want enough to be comfortably independent.

my mother gives me around $15 dollars a week so I do have a tiny bit of an income stream to invest with.

worst case scenario: if I still can't hack it after 4 years of giving it my all I'll still only be 21-22 years old. that's still quite a bit of time to set myself on another path, right?

does this sound silly to you? why or why not? any other advice?

I've got a confession to make
1715659534089166
I guess I shouldn't write this because it will make me feel deeply culpable and sad again, but... I guess I want you to roast me.

I'm a stingy guy. I was born poor and have had a shit life so I can't stop being a cheap ass for my own security, even though I make enough to save most of my wage.

when I lived with my ex gf, I made almost 3x what my she made.
I lived with her for almost 3 years and we split everything 50/50, including rent. before we met she was renting a small apartment in a relatively expensive part of the city, and I moved with her almost days after meeting. then we moved to a bigger, more expensive apartment. she complained to me once about not paying proportionally. I told her I wouldn't pay more.
at some point, I was paying my part of the rent with the gains I got from interests from deposits, while she had no savings and was paying with her wage.
a couple of months before dumping her we moved to a cheaper place because shit was getting too expensive. but at that point I was getting tired of her bs. she had started weird having emotional swings, and instead of talking to her about it, I dumped her. even after dumping her she complained to me about being stingy, being paid well and shit.

my logic regarding the 50/50 split in rent was that I was paying half the rent while I had my "own" (my moms) house, yet we were living in an expensive apartment, so why pay more?
I was cheap because I was obsessed with the idea of buying my own house. the idea was to help her save money once I got my house. I managed to buy land months after leaving her, and I'm about to build the house.

I feel so guilty that some weeks ago I offered her a compensation for all that money I didn't pay. instead of accepting my offer, she told me to stop talking to her. later I realized my message might have come off as insulting. I have no clue if I can fix this situation. I assume I should just leave her alone.

I don't understand women. and that makes me feel like shit.

I'm moving soon and I don't know if I should keep this old piece of junk or not
It just needs new treads but I'm not even sure if I'll keep it.
I'm just having a hard time selling it and moving it would be a bitch
However I also don't have a car right now and I may need it for whatever reason if something comes up.
Also I do love road bikes and I'm not sure if I'll find another one like this when I move
What would /adv/ do?
Might be worth it to fix it up if I can use it to get in good shape
But it's also dangerous to bike on the road here, too many drunk hicks

What is it for?
Charisma is the ability to attract and positively influence others, creating an atmosphere of trust and respect. It helps build strong relationships, gain cooperation, and leave a lasting impression.

Eg: How to ask for help with charisma
1. Say names to make people feel important
2. Smile to make others feel appreciated
3. Ask specifically for that person
4. Ask for help without any kind of imposition
5. Also ask for help with delicate or expensive stuff
6.Do everything in crowded places to make everyone aware

People don't remember what you say or do, they remember how you make them feel. The focus is on the emotional impact of your interactions. Always ask yourself, "How can I make this person feel good, not bad?" Warning: This is not flattery or insincerity. Authenticity is key.

Strategies to develop charisma:
1. Give genuine compliments:
2.Joke and tease each other in a good-natured way
a: Avoid insecurity jokes: Don't comment on someone's physical appearance in a negative way.
b: Tease about strengths: "You're so good at cooking, you should open a restaurant!"
c: He jokes about the absurd: "I heard you won the marathon... walking backwards!"
3.Talk about other people's interests and listen actively
4.Speak through actions:
a: Special Gifts
b: Ask for help
c: Be kind
d: Invite them
e: Going out together

How much truth is there in all this?

why do random girls stare at me, am i schizo?

i sat on a bench and 2 girls pass by and one of them looks at me first, then even turns around fully to look at me for like 5 secs.
there was nothing behind me and there is nothing interesting lookswise about me.
am i schizo for even noticing something like this or is this normal?
i have to say i rarely go out of the house, maybe once every 2-3 months and i also don't have any interactions with humans (really rare).

20250401_154833
This might gross you out if you're a male as I talk about my cycle. I understand you guys aren't doctors; however, I'm just looking to see if anyone has advice, criticism, or experience with my situation. I'm in the States and have been trying to get pregnant for 3 years now. I think I really screwed myself over by being on Mirena IUD for a decade. Now that I'm married, my husband and I would like to have a baby. My husband is waiting on his appointment, and I'm going to see an OB-GYN to make sure I'm all good. My hormone levels were tested, and all is good. I have normal cycles every 26 days and my period is 5 days long. However, the first two days can be painful or heavy, so they put abnormal uterine bleeding on my chart. Next, they wanted to do a US non-OB transvaginal/trans-abd. Everything looks good along with a retroverted uterus and despite calling my doctor I have to wait until she's in office to discuss my results and they can't give me a estimate wait time nor do I want to pay to have the test done again so I'm just waiting. The only thing that worried me was that multiple peripherally arranged follicles are seen in both ovaries mainly on left. When I got the test it was at the end of my cycle. I'm at a healthy weight as well, and I eat clean to maintain it. I drink on special occasions, don't smoke. I do not know my parents health unfortunately except that my mom had ten kids, and one of my parents had diabetes.
Ultrasound:
The vascular flow was evaluated and shows adequate color flow with normal spectral pattern of the flow waveform.
Uterus size: Measuring 7.8 X 5.5 X 4.2cm appears normal retroverted with homogeneous myometrium.
No evidence of masses, fibroid, or endometrial thinking. The thickness is 6.8mm
Cervix is normal
Right ovary 2.3x1.7x1.1cm
Left 3.1x2.2x1.9
multiple peripherally arranged follicles are seen in both ovaries mainly on left. No cyst, solid masses, or free fluid identified.
Adnexal structure are normal.
Bladder is normal

Which surgery first advice
ZomboDroid_30032025015222
Okay i need some advice. Asked here last year but just got bullied
Im soon 24 and before i turn 30 i have a bunch of cosmetic surgeries i want to do.
3 weeks ago I did my hair transplant to fix my hairline and it worked out great as you can see by my hairlone it works out great (wont be thick and natural for another 12 months)
And next im getting my eyebrows lasered so they permanently go from the mid pic to the bottom pic (first time in the coming week)
Then my question is what should i do next? i have a bunch of other surgeries lined up that i want to do but need to save up for and in what order?
Fixing a slightly bent tooth with some sort of teeth correction device that costs the equivalent of 5k usd (pic of teeth in replies)
Teeth whitening which im considering next since it only costs the equivalent of 500 dollars but i would have to pay another 500 dollars after fixing my teeth if i do that first so im unsure if i should wait for that
Jaw surgery for a more prominent jaw (pic in replies, kinda not accurate since i put on 10kgs due to the surgery and fat goes to my face
Eyelid surgery (normal surgeons wont do this because the "difference is too small" so i have to go to a top guy in france and that costs 15k )
Height surgery (went from 174cm to 176-8 cm after fixing my back but i want to be 185cm) and its very expensive
Nose surgery cause my nose is so big
And lastely if i cant fix it through training, shaving of the hip bone surgery)
Which do you think i should do next? Which is worse and most "urgent"?

How to make friends on discord?
1723943717050028
I spend the majority of my waking hours on the internet and aside from going to my college classes (2 times a week) I never go outside.
At this point online friendship is becoming more and more socially acceptable so it's not entirely hopeless, but I've never had any real life friends so I don't know how to make friends online either.

When I join a server there is already an established friend group so I just don't know what to say and end up leaving. I'm also scared of talking because I get ignored most of the time. I don't know what servers to join either, all the public servers have 500+ members and it's so hard to interact with people there.

I am so jealous of people who call themselves "social reject losers" but in reality they have discord friends with whom they play coop games and hang out in the vc all day. I have never even played multiplayer games because I don't have any online friends.

How did you make discord friends? How did you find people to play games and hang out online?

troon (mtf) friend of mine (lives a few hours away from me, so we don't meet that often), xhe's crying in my dm's pretty much every day, and I'd like to help xher since I don't have many friends and I wouldn't want this one to kill xherself. xher life is a mess, weed junkie, school issues, and so on, but xhe's depressed because xhe cant find a relationship (xhe's into women too, i know i know...).
I think I've made it pretty clear to xher, that if xhe doesn't get xher life together, xhe won't have much luck with dating, but then xhe tells me that xhe can't get xher life together because xhe's too depressed from xher loneliness, and yada yada yada.
xhe doesn't pass now, but I believe that xhe will eventually since xhe's still young, xhe's not built like an ogre, and only starte therapy 4 months ago.
I've told xher pretty much everything I could think of, xhe doesn't seem to be getting any better.
what can I do before I cut my losses and simply consider this one gone?

starving
depression
I have once again spent 4 days without eating any food. I moved in after losing my apartment around 5 months ago with my sisters and somehow assumed we would be sharing food. But she keeps all of it for her in her room leaving me absolutely nothing to eat.

Around a year and a a half ago my parents led me into a weird scheme saying they would bail me out financially if it didn't work. As a result after it failed I lost my job and despite my asking repeatedly they refuse uphold their promise.

Entirely my fault for believing them as I'm pretty sure my family are all psychopaths. I've made many attempts at my life ranging from almost hanging myself when I was 14 after my mother told me to my face she wished she had aborted me, to somehow slicing my wrists at around age 5 while my sister watched with no reaction.

This place being remote I lost access to the therapists I had began seeing due to overwhelming depression resulting in me stopping medication. And I have no idea what to do. I would start dumpster diving but due to not having a phone I can't do it unless it's in broad daylight.

What should I do ?

Best way to deal with toxic boss/manager?

Work a min wagie job that i actually enjoy. Only job I have enjoyed but now have a not picky nag of a manager. Sure there are some good points but a bunch of bad which is leading to losing other workers making things harder

Basically always kneejerk reactions to things even though it was initiated by her not doing things correctly or choosing the right time to do things (like filling up the bins so quickly after it was emptied, with things that didn't need to be urgently disposed of, then acting like the bin scheduling isn't ideal because they had to deal with full bins for 2 days straight). Basically can't be corrected or told it's the wrong way of doing something without feeling like you're undermining her (even though I corrected her in private, she kept carrying on like I was happy she made a mistake)

I really enjoy this job and with the right team barely feels like work, just a bit of exercise.

There is a comic con in a few weeks.
I'm going there to cosplay and also to be honest, I want to meet women and hopefully develop something into one day getting a girlfriend(either from there or entering a social circle that leads into it).

I think I am hanging too many hopes on this one event and I think that's not great because then I'd be going in with expectations and putting pressure on myself instead of just enjoying the damn thing.

Shave my head or nah?
d23zjqcis2721
Hey anons, I am going down a spiral. I've always had a hair fetish, but now I am seriously considering cutting or shaving it. I'm not sure though, considering the pros and cons.

Thing is, it's not even remotely common or normal where I live for women to have shorter hair and I am certain everybody who knows me will think I have cancer or an existential crysis, it that I'm a lesbian.

The other thing is, I told my boyfriend about this fetish, and he accepts it, but he doesn't share it. He has said he prefers long hair but that ultimately, it's up to me.
I worry though that he will realise he doesn't like short (or really short) hair once I go through with it. Additionally, it'd be ideal for me to do this with him but I feel as though I'm "pressuring" him considering he has expresses this isn't a fetish for him, that he is at most fascinated I'd let him do this.

Has any of you ever had an impulsive need to do something like this? Was it worth it?

Make up the teenage experience
150 222 226-min
So I'm 19, finishing school in a month. Was only out partying twice in my whole life. I come from a country where shit like partying starts already at the age of 14.

Old friend of mine, told me it will eventually come around. he moved back to Russia, it came around to him.

Other friend of mine (slightly older than me), always out partying on weekends, always ask him if I could tag along, never invited me anywhere. Same goes for former classmates (I changed schools when I was 14).

Mother and grandmother tell me that I'm "different" (that's true) and that some people simply participate in such activities. Tbh, it sounds like the biggest cope to me.

So anyway when I'm done with school and even if I go to university, I highly doubt that my chances of going to parties will rise.

So my question is, will it happen? Will I have the best night of my life someday, or am I destined, to die as a loser like my grandmother tells me?

It pisses me off so much to be honest, I simply cannot imagine working till retirement without having being young once.

I think I'll just going to kill myself someday to be honest. I guess I'll never be truly happy. There's no coming back for me. I'll stick around a few years, until my mom dies, then I'm gonna do it.

I started this sales job recently after being unemployed for a while.

Its only day 2 but I fucking hate it. I quickly realised that if you want to prosper in sales you need have a passion for it. All i wanted from this was a paycheck and I do get base pay but theres also a commission element attached. Im surrounded by people who have backgrounds in sales and I feel like I stick out. All we do so far is just go out and essentially knock on people doors and sell our product. It gets really fucking boring. There is progression, but theres a lot of pressure on me now that I cant seem to grasp how its going to be later on. I was hoping this job would help me develop my peoples skills as I recently got diagnosed with autism, but its hard to do that when you have to read off a script for your pitch.

That's not nearly enough.

im a christfag and an actual closeted fag
pepe-smoking
I am a 22-year-old engineering student with the goal of becoming a fiction writer. Recently, I’ve been struggling with my sexuality, fully aware that my doubts stem from my addiction to pornography and an early experience with a male friend.

I feel I should move past these thoughts and hope to one day love a woman who loves me in return. However, another thought troubles me—I don’t want to bring a child into this broken world. This makes the idea of a traditional relationship feel pointless, leading me to question my future.

At the same time, I’ve developed a connection with an 18-year-old guy. While we initially met through mutual attraction, we’ve come to genuinely care for each other. I can’t help but wonder—are we together because of lust, or is true love possible between us? We both see love realistically, valuing companionship over idealized romance, yet I struggle with whether this is right.

I don’t want to be a coward and deny who I am, but I also want to follow God’s will. I know that we all need Him, yet our actions often say otherwise. This paradox leaves me feeling lost, searching for clarity and guidance.

>we've been arguing almost every week for the past few months, spliced with weeks of very romantic and warm moments
I broke up with her. I couldn't take the toxic cycle of almost breaking up arguments and then lovebombing anymore. She was very insecure. I am somewhat too, but she was too much. Plus now with the long distance, I don't see us getting any closer.

Did I do the right decision? I already miss her but I know we just don't work out and it's best for both of us to stay apart. How do I avoid thinking about her getting fucked by other guys?

How do you handle trying to date a chick who has toxic single friends who don't like you because you take her time away from her going out on constant "girls' nights" with them?

Is it even worth bothering? She's great but I'm starting to get worn down. I hate the retards she hangs out with.

>gf loses all her confidence , gains weight and stops wearing all the cool clothes that made her stand out
>start having fights over and over without really learning much from them as these happen usually because of how i am and because things that i don't really want to do as she is kinda obsessed with the concept of "serious relationship" and
i honestly don't give a fuck about or i'm too depressed to care
>also I'm in a spot where i'm afraid of commitment and i'd like to have new experiences and to date other girls/fuck around
>start having thoughts about having sex with other girls who started hanging out with my friend group and often think about one in particular wich is not actually a girl but actually a non binary person that i really find attractive
>meanwhile my girlfriend is also continuously limited in hanging out because of her mental health
guys i don't really know what to do i really think that i couldn't find a girl like mine because i actually think she is incredible and i love her and she is the most intelligent person i know and we have so much in common but at the same time i think that i still don't want to commit in an eternal relationship as i feel too young and scared and I also think that most of the fights are cause of my immature ass and sometimes i think i'd just like to breakup for some year by telling her some shit like that i feel not ready and mature enough to commit and that i feel like im hurting her by being like i am and then get back together but i know it's not possible.
also I really like this other "guy" (he goes by male pronouns since neutral doesnt exist in italian and kinda feels weird) and I'd really like to fuck his skinny pussy but at the same time he is kinda cringe and says corny shit

>still doesn’t talk, but it feels like she wants me to notice her

>what’s her angle? testing me, fishing for attention, or something else? she still has her bf and brings him to the gym from time to time

I would never message her, because we are both in relationships and I have no interest in her being able to spread rumors that I tried to reach out or contact her. she doesnt seem to care about these things.
It's kind of a boundary violation. The fact that she messaged me shows a lack of respect and impulse control.
I have given her absolutely no reason to contact me. There's nothing we need to discuss or coordinate.

I’d list all the shit she pulled on me, but this post would be way too long.
I was always patient with her (probably made her think I'm weak), but I’ve had enough of her games and want to teach her some respect. how?

why am i keen on rehabilitating broken women? why do they gravitate towards me and vice versa? i try to help those in general, but when it comes to romance, i play therapist and try to help heal women or guide them to the path. but then i have to remind myself that some women know the answer and just want validation.

how do i unlearn this? it seems to honestly be one of my problems when pursuing a relationship with a woman.

Steelsponge
I'm the guy who found a gray mass from yesterday. So there's good news and bad news. The good news is that it wasn't actually a spider nest on top of a rat corpse. It was literally one of those steel sponges.

The bad news is that it was apparently being used to block a hole in the wall. And I still haven't found a rat corpse even though other people say there's a smell.

Does anyone know the cheapest and easiest way to deal with a hole in the wall/corner?

How does getting escorts work? I’m 19, and kinda rich before I made hundreds of thousands off pump and dump crypto schemes so I want to finally lose my virginity, I wanna get some premium fancy escort. But how the hell does it work? Do you just knock on her door, shake her hand and give her the money and go straight to the fucking? Or is there any ritual beforehand that you need to do? It seems pretty awkward can you guys enlighten me?

I'm 20 and work at a grocery store and the deli manager is an attractive single milf with a nice booty (she's white fyi) and I've been flirting with her a lot and today at work she told me to come over to her house tomorrow cuz she'll have the place to herself and wants to show me around the hot tub that her ex got her. I have her phone number and snapchat so we can communicate
Obviously I think we're gonna have sex, but I am extremely anxious. I've never had sex before so I really don't know what to expect, and she is older so I'm probably gonna embarrass myself by being way more inexperienced than her.
Also I should I wear swim trunks in the hot tub or don't wear anything?

Taking control of my life
Capture
> 27yo, Wage slave, Military vet, CS grad, Unemployed.
> Suicidal ideation from 8yo. Absent dad, whore mom.
> Might be autistic--my younger siblings are. I was never tested. Diagnosed w/ ADHD at 25. 130+ IQ.
> Started college the Spring Covid happened. Became a hermit. Moved to a small town that has no clue I exist (aside from the occasional trash cleanup). I have several acres of property and I'm more capable than your typical CS grad, but not much else.

After graduating I've been unemployed for 3 months now (on top of the 4 years I spent for my degree). I take care of elderly family, but I'm losing my mind with this free time. I got offers to apply to the Navy for NUPOC or as a NOAA Comissioned Officer, which I will chase, but I lack confidence, particularly due to no (since 2020) employment history. I spent most my life playing vidya and tried hard to separate myself from that identity during college as a freelancer, but there's little fruit.
I have a literal handful of IRL friends that are all dumber (less educated) but more successful than me, all who work manufacturing/trades or own their own business.

Do I go all in as a manufacturing/tradie wage slave? Do I stick it out and try to land a unicorn gig? I had imposter syndrome until right before the the free money in tech dried up. I like working with my hands and learning new skills, and I'm a competent programmer.

I'm fortunate to have wealthy family to care after, I just want to be able to make it on my own, especially if I move to the city. My dad failed me growing up, I'm the most masculine role model in my household. I hate myself for it, but I need guidance.
My contingency plan for the last X years has literally been a bullet. I don't really care what I do at this point, I just want to leverage my skills and make a (eventual) living from it.

Sorry for the rant, I'm drunk and looking for any advice. I'm losing my mind staying in front of a screen all day every day. I need some actionable advice.

I don't ever read, by the way. I also don't have room for it on any of my shelves. But I'm a big fan of the movies so maybe I'll seem more legitimate that way. The books look nice, they're hardback. And it's not only the 3 LOTR books but also the Hobbit and the Silmarillion. Money wise its not an issue. I can easily afford it within my spending money budget. Could be a good decoration. Or maybe it will push me to read a bit more? Who knows. What does /adv/ think?

I've been with my gf for almost two years. It's recently come to my attention that she is still in contact with her ex to a somewhat high degree. They both still perform in a music group together, and she will take trips for these performances at universities maybe twice a year. She never disclosed who she was playing with to me before, and still hasn't (although I haven't asked.) She has also never disclosed to me that they were previously engaged. I found this information on my own by reading her publicated thesis, where she had written a dedication before the abstract.

The other night while we were together, she went to share something from Facebook messenger on her phone, and the first suggested contact to share to was her ex. (Huge red flag for me)

When I checked whose Netflix she uses, it's his.

Her Facebook is still full of old pictures of them together as well, and none of us together.

I highly doubt she is cheating on me physically, also her cuck ex bf lives in Europe where he belongs. However of course there is a possibility at these concerts they both perform at. This really disturbs me.

This type of "emotional" cheating does in fact bother me quite a bit. As recently as last year she was liking content on his Facebook and even a "heart" emoji on one of his profile pictures. Wtf is up with that? You hearted his gay ass profile picture???

Am I cooked or what? I'm not even sure how to bring up this topic and it has been festering in my head for a while and only getting worse.

I feel very disrespected and want to confront her, but I don't want it to turn into a huge blow up. Unless of course it's worse than I think. What do you think bros

I feel happier and aroused thinking of myself as male. Been having these tranny urges since I was 10 at least. Never been sexually abused or active, not lesbian, and these urges don't go away even if I resign to just being a tomboy. I don't understand other women and have been rejected by most of them but none of the other women I've known who've been through the same have thought like this so I don't think it's that instrumental in why I'm like this. Just want to be normal honestly. How to stop, what do?

gf is friends with MY ex
IMG_2837
me and my ex broke up over a year ago and it was rough (for me atleast). we were both a bit toxic and she has bpd so it was rocky but i loved her.

now i’ve been with my gf for 7 months and haven’t seen my ex since, until yesterday. i went to a book store with my gf and i noticed my ex. i completely ignored her and felt incredibly tense just seeing her, but then my gf and ex just hugged each other??

turns out they met at the gym a few months ago and have been friends ever since? i had no clue and my gf knows about the history and doesn’t care.

why hasn’t my gf said anything about this, am i wrong for thinking this is weird as shit? all this time they’ve been going to the gym together sometimes and even went shopping

What does it indícate if a woman (29y.o) suddenly removes all her instagram highlights? (i’m not blocked as she uploaded a story of her garden)

Her highlights were pics with her parents, sister, friends (not even “hot” pictures she could regret or pictures of a pet that may have died). And then she suddenly deletes them. Does it mean she is going through some type of crisis? is that the 2020s equivalent of dying your clothes black in the middle ages? I need to know what’s the reason she may have done this.

My girl said I can have sex with other girls for 6 months

Idk what advice I am looking for since this is a strange situation

I started dating her at 22 when she was 25 and I was pretty introverted when I met her so I never dated anyone else

Her friend suggested I have sex with other girls since men dont attach emotionally so easily and itll boost my confidence

She is not going to have sex with other men and has no desire to so itll only be me going crazy for 6 months

How should I approach this she says I cant fall in love with or date any other girls
