One, if you don't want attention brought to the fact she was black, you wouldn't have mentioned it. Not that there's shame in being black, but you have established with your words that it matters to you. Therefore, prepare to be ridiculed.

Two, no - she probably is uninterested. It was a party. She was probably just looking for some fun at the party.

Three, this is /adv/, not /b/.

Four, I can't stand when otherwise attractive black girls style their hair like that. Just an opinion though.

>>16991551
Really? This hairstyle is literally the best thing about black girls. It's breathtaking.

Maybe you shouldn't talk to her if it's just about sex. She obviously isn't that kind of person when she didn't even let you kiss her.

>>16991534
Do something productive. Doesn't even have to be schoolwork. Go meet people like you say you want to. Start doing something creative that you enjoy, like making music, art, cooking, anything. Work out. Improving your health is never a bad idea.
Start learning a language or just some subject you were always curious about.
If you must meet new people then go out and do it. Go and see a random concert at a local venue. Go to a bar that looks populated and buy someone a drink. Chat with people and see what...

I keep reading stuff like this but to me life doesn't seem to work that way. Like, I read this and I believe it's bullshit, don't take it as an offense. I'm pretty awkward, I can't just get into someone's conversation or table, I feel it's absurd.

I'm thinking of just taking a long walk. I want to start the "couch to 5k" running thingy, but I'm unfit as fuck and I think it'd be better to spend a few days walking a lot first, as the last time I tried the program I felt like I was going to die or something.

I'll pass around a zone of my city which is always populated with geeky people, I usually don't want to meddle with them because they tend to fall too far into the weeaboo spectrum and so on, but I might even talk to some of them, I don't know.

That sounds like it's more of a problem with you. When it comes to small talk, yeah people generally aren't that interested. But when you are actually getting to know someone, this is what it takes.

Not a bad idea at all.

Not a bad idea either. I always have to contain my cringe when I'm "among fellow gamers" or weebs or something, but once you get passed that it can be nice.

Teaching is a rather daunting prospect my man. You're spot on with accusations or concerns of pedophilia directed at male teachers and males in schools. Depending on the level you would teach, the children are either assholes on purposes or assholes because that's what kids are. It's pays fairly well if you manage money properly. Female teachers vastly outnumber male teachers which does somewhat work in your favor as in my experience good male teachers are rather sought after, which could improve your job prospects.


If you're interested in teaching...

Could do both law and teaching. Become a law teacher to unis or year 11 and 12 students.

But hey, congrats anon. At least you have some idea what you want to do for your career.

first off, you should always go with something you actually enjoy
do you really want to spend the majority of your life doing something you don't like? sounds like a soul crushing existence

I work in post production and good 3D modelers are always in demand. the fact that you're in Australia doesn't matter because you can freelance remotely from anywhere really. sometimes we hire people who live in Brazil or India
my advice is switch to a more practical 3D software like Maya or C4D...

Just use an alias

>The thing I'm wondering about though, is will I have to keep some record of my old name?
Yes. Even if you legally change your name, there will be times when you have to list names you've previously used. You don't have to go around offering this information to people who don't ask for it, but you can't lie.

>If I did change my name, would I be able to shed my past completely?
Define "completely".

>>16991406
Common thing for artists to do OP. I agree with this.

Sounds a lot like me. Half the reason I don't talk to people is that I'm too lazy.

>>16991393
My issue is every time a "moment' comes up, I don't really know what to say and then I overthink things. Then have doubts. Then I be a wuss and not do it. Goddamit.

>>16991332
Did that for three years.
Deep rooted problems led me to be avoidant.
After a point you just get so ashamed of what you've become that you force yourself to change

For the love of god yes.

>>16991328
Yes, why do you need to ask

>>16991328
If you're trying to grow a beard, no. Otherwise, yes.

>>16991293
be strong, be assertive, be independent, follow your path. never put your happiness in somebody else's hands, don't lose your mind, be respected with the least amount of violence and respect others who deserve it. when you find yourself lost, just stop to think about what you really need and what you really want.

Try to find role models in your surroundings now. It takes time and you really have to search well, but it´s doable.

Maybe ask family stories about the guys (if they were any good)

>>16991293
How old are you anon? This advice will vary in mileage based on your age. I didn't have a stable male role model either (they all died), but this is what I could pick up from them along the way.

Don't put your tongue in a hooker's vagina (it's bad manners), and don't touch strippers- just let them do the touching of you and keep your hands off. Not only is doing either thing unsanitary, but it will get you kicked out of the brothel/strip club. Also, be careful, those sneaky succubi really know how to get as much money as possible out of you.

If you're buying a used car, make sure to look along the side. If you can notice slight dents in the metalwork, that may mean it's had panelbeating work done to cover up the fact it was in a crash. Be careful with buying used cars, a cheap shitheap can end up costing you more in repairs than just getting a new one.

Try and make yourself a well-rounded, self-sufficient man. Know a little bit about cooking, a little bit about survival, a little bit about house hardware jobs.

Keep well dressed if possible. Make sure you have a good-looking suit, and go to the tailor if necessary and if you can afford it to get one fitted for you.

When you're refueling a lawnmower or motorbike, the petrol canister of fuel might have a long funnel inside the lid. You can remove it from the lid, swap it around, and screw it onto the petrol can in order to reduce spillage.

If you're ever in a survival situation and need clean water, you can make a transpiration bag by wrapping a plastic bag around a branch. The heat of the sun will make the moisture rise up out of the leaves, and it will go to the top of the bag then drip down to the bottom. You can drink this. Or, if you have some way of boiling water, you can get river water.

Pick at least one sport and make sure you know the rules of it, and follow a team on the side. This will help you blend in with Manly Men

You become a Modern Man officially when you are self-reliant.

She's young and foolish. That being said you likely won't change her mind.

My ex said she'd keep it but would give it away..

I really wish there was a birth control for men. (Besides condoms)

>>16991291
We've never had "unprotected sex" but obviously condoms still have a fail rate. It's a chance I'd rather wasn't there.

>>16991296
If look up the stats for pregnancy even trying to get pregnant takes time.

That being said I feel your concerns, it would completely fuck up your life. Likewise another girl could say she would get rid of it (if/when) and then end up keeping it.

>>16991253
>How can I trust this chick to be quiet?
You can't.

General rule of thumb: Don't trust people you don't know.

Bump. When I call her today should I say we should go to her place? Would that imply I want to have sex?

Maybe just dont be a cheating cunt? Sounds like you two are made for eachother tho. Disgusting human beings.

I should add that I have a VERY slight underbite. Had the option of doing something about it but I actually thought it looked kinda handsome, but if it's causing my lisp it has to go.

>>16991252
The underbite might actually be it. I tried it out and I've got a bit of a harder time with J's when I put my jaw forward.

Otherwise you could try speaking while biting onto a pencil. It's a trick my French teacher made us so to help get rid of our accents. Irs supposed to make the mouth and tongue shapes easier since you end up over-pronouncing everything with the pencil in your mouth.

>>16991276
damn. I'll have to start wearing a retainer again I guess. Thanks for the reply.

Does the printer actually belong to you or your department?
Is it the reality of working there that other people need to use the printer too?

If you answered no and yes respectively, then you're just being a whiny little shit and she was within her right to take it to use.

>>16991190
The units themselves don't belong to any one person, but I need them at all times (just like the photo center). If other people need a printer or whatever they need to ninja it from someone that isn't me.


Plus she never brought it back.

>>16991192
So you're being a whiny little shit and she was within her right to take it to use.

It's not yours and she needed to use it too, get over it.

>>16991159
Just responding to bump this post, want to give advice, but don't want to turn you to the wrong direction for this issue.

>>16991178
Thanks i like that you take it serious enough

don't tell your family man

they'll probably just accuse you of trying to rob your sister of attention

everyone has compassion for sweet little girls, you're a man now. You're disposable.

How is your dad going to help you anyway? Tell your therapist, if anyone.

>>16991088
"Looking someone in the eye" is just a phrase, not much of reality. It really means talking face-to-face rather than looking away. In fact, we spend most of our conversations looking people in the mouth, because we all lip-read more than we realize.

You don't have to maintain eye-to-eye contact more than occasionally and briefly. In fact many people find it eerie to have someone stare into their eyes.

>>16991298
Alright, thanks for your help.

But is eye contact ever used outside of conversation? If so, what for?

Eye contact is a complex matter. It is interpreted differently depending on culture and social context. It can mean asserting dominance or being disrespect and it can also mean showing honesty and friendliness. It can be playful or it can be creepy. It can mean mental instability or a desire to romance someone. Humans are weird.

>>16991083
oy, bump.
I don't want my dad to die

He probably has some problems with the hormones that are responsible for satiety. Try to bring it up as the matter of health,maybe he will take it more seriously then.

Don't be overtly nasty about it, that only gives him an excuse to shield himself from the truth in what you say. I'd sit him down, if possible with family members present who support you, and say you're sorry for being rude about it but in essence you are sincerely very worried about his health and life span. Stress that obesity is a huge factor in some of the most common death causes. If he brushes this off like it does not affect him, try to get him to at least go to the doctor then so he can confirm that your dad is healthy and has nothing to worry about. The...

Just buy a mask........??????

I cut rebar just for 2 days after the first day I used a shirt to cover my face up and later bought masks , but I still have a sore throat , I'm just curious if it'll go away or wtf ?

See a doctor, get a mask, then sue for improper health safety.
You should under no circumstance be grinding or cutting metal without proper respiratory protection.
