What's your study habit? how did you study. How do you go about hitting the books? Got any tips?
Wanting some ideas to make my study sessions more efficient. see if someone out there knows something I don't.

I just did the homework assignments multiple times a week. It worked OK.
I dont understand how anyone can consider it fair that a male has to be an 8/10 by sheer genetics and willpower but women can be a 2/10 and bump themselves up to a 7/10. Its completely unbalanced. Why is it that women just as ugly as me cant walk around and be considered attractive but I cant.
Would women find me odd if I wear makeup. Will it hurt my chances of getting women if I dont. I mean its hella sexist if it would. Im just about as chubby as the average female. Comparable bf percentages so I dont see why I should lose more weight there.
Is makeup for men a good option
why do people ask questions like this but never EVER post pics of themselves? How the fuck am I supposed to answer this when I have no idea what you look like?
>>16905737
Im generally considered unattractive. But makeup lets women overcome this so I believe I might be able to as well.
>>16905766
Expect that anything aside from very basic foundation is very noticeable, more so to women, and not considered attractive. So yeah, its "unfair" but you can't do shit about it. Life amirite?
My ass crack is always showing what do i do? I always wear my pants around my wAist and pull my boxers up by stomach

OK wear tight ass underwear, then boxers then swimming trunks and then wear fuxckin shorts then cargos then pants.
Or you can use a belt an be smart
And I need furniture and things, really. But I don't honestly know what I'll need. Yeah, Internet so a modem/router is a given, but the daily things that I just had not even needed to think about the past 20 years are gonna be needed too.
Do you guys have a list or any experience you can share that will help me out?
I wouldn't spend any money on furniture, besides a bed.
Spend your money on shoes and your bed.
1/2 your life you'll be on your bed, the other half in your shoes.
Go hit up every single goodwill second hand stores for : a cheap coffee maker, microwave, dishes and cookware.
if youre a student, get a desk and a lamp, youll need it.
you don't really need furniture, unless family or friends decide to hand some down to you.
You get furniture when you can spend money on new and nice furniture that you don't plan on moving for a long time....

Nice bed, nice desk, nice kitchen supplies.
Its really not that expensive if you're working.
I'm currently living in an apartment with a blowup mattress and a lamp. Its honestly depressing to save your money for no good reason and live in a self imposed prison cell. The only reason I haven't gotten anything was because I'm moving in a month. But for the year I've been here, I should have made this feel more like home.
In other words, don't be greedy. Its not that much money in the long run.
I've been on two dates now where the woman is really friendly, quick to compliment, constantly invading my personal space and touching me, but after it ends she goes cold and I never hear from her again. Can someone help me understand this?
She just wanted to fuck
>>16905672
so you go on the dates described, you walk her to her door where you exchange an awkwardish hug, and then what happens? please tell me you don't wait by your phone waiting for her to setup the next date

Well obviously an apology or two to the people that got the worst end of shit stick. Theres a chance maybe like a couple might hold a grudge or some that'll remember you being a jerk and just be like "oh its that dick wonder if hes still the same" if you want you could just ignore it ever happened unless you bring it up to them I mean really theres a possibility that nobody remembers you at all.
Need help /b/
>Used to be alpha, confident, smooth
>Now transitioned into quiet, shy, betafag
Is this a normal phase? Has anyone else experienced this?
>>16905654
Forgot to change /b/ to /adv
>>16905654
Got any more context? Why do you think you changed?
Based off the initial info, I'd say you need to go hang with people some more. Get out, do stuff. Try and boost your self-confidence. Be a more social person, practice with people you're comfortable with at first if you feel like it.
/adv/ I've kind of got myself in a hole and I need someone else's opinion here. I've been talking to this girl I met through okcupid for a couple months now.. She seems pretty cool over all but she is kind of getting too attached too soon. I'm scared to cut contact with her because she already has really low self-esteem even though she is decent looking. My question to you is how do I slow things down without hurting her?
Nigga.
You haven't even met this girl in person yet? And it's been two months? And you're afraid of things moving too FAST?
Nigga.
If you really think it's a problem, turn off your screen and go outside. Really.
>>16905664
I should have mentioned she lives in NY and I live in CA and she's talking about me flying to visit her and I'm broke as shit since I had to buy a new car.
>>16905641
>I've been talking to this girl for a couple months now
>she is kind of getting too attached too soon
It sounds like you have no idea what you want, and you're just completely wasting her time. Not really a cool thing to do
Does anyone else ever worry about their significant other being sexually assaulted?
>>16905589
Does she have stalkers or something?
If not, it's like, do you also worry about getting hit by a crazy drunk driver every time you get in the car? Do you worry about getting mugged every time you walk down the street? Do you worry about getting struck by lightning every time there's a rainstorm? Shit happens, do you best to be smart but don't let fear run your life
>>16905617
No it's just she's kinda ditzy and does stupid shit sometimes
But you have a very good point
>>16905589
Get into concealed carry and get her into guns problem solved.
If you consider this i can help you out, i did it for my girl and felt much better. She was all for it though and you may be in a diferent situation than me.
Hi /adv/,
I don't come here often but I have a dilemna with my girlfriend.
She has been getting more and more into SJW stuff and I can't find myself giving a shit about it. We've been dating for 2 years and, while I've understood her points, she has just become more active and I've been finding it difficult to give a fuck.
Everytime we discuss these matters, she cries.
What do?
>she has just become more active
How, though? Like does she actually do substantial things to help these causes, or does she just talk about it all the time and scold people for making "offensive" comments?
>>16905592
Both. She goes to more events hosted by groups, asks me to come along, etc.
Shit comes up every day.
>>16905598
Try to work out some kind of compromise, maybe. Agree to go to an event with her every now and then, if she agrees to try not to "bring it home with her" and let politics wreck the mood when you're trying to spend time with her.
I mean, really at the end of the day it's just usual relationship stuff. Your partner has interests that you don't really care about, you go along with it a little bit just for the sake of sharing with them, and ideally they do the same for you
So I put two extra tickets to a college basketball game on Craigslist earlier this week and yesterday I got a call inquiring about them. I had them listed for $75 each and I agreed with Mr. Extremely Country Accent on $70 apiece.
The deal was we were to meet at the Circle K on Glenn this morning. So I called him about 20 minutes ago and we agreed to meet. So I drive up to the Circle K and there are two guys selling tickets on the corner. One walks up to me and says "What you got?" I said, "I'm suppose to meet a guy and sell my tickets to him."...

Started talking to my ex girlfriend again. We were deeply in love, but distance and mental hurdles drove us apart (primarily me from her). We recently caught up, the attraction was there, the good times were there, but she started talking to someone two or three months ago. She doesn't refer to him as a boyfriend, only as "the person I'm talking to."
We've both worked on ourselves and it seems we're better for each other than ever before thanks to time apart.
I've made some romantic gestures, she appreciated them but is nervous...

a) she's fucking the new guy (this isn't really debatable unless you have a REALLY good reason to think she's not). Have been in your situation and have seen others' situations where the girl has literally used these exact words.
b) tell her you want to get back together, that you've made some changes, and that if she's willing to give the two of you a chance, you will show her those changes. If she says no, walk.
How did you two start talking again?
Did you simply call her?
>>16905611
Reached out wanting to catch up, she came over. We've hung out one more time since.
Trying to give her space at the moment because she's admitted she needs to make a decision.
>be me, ugly, non talented.
>girl that's actually hot admits she would date me if she wasn't dating someone else
>we tell each other that we love one the other each night, talk everyday
>find out she's moving, stopped talking to me all of the sudden
>really miss her, not sure what I'm gonna do without her
>only chance for a relationship I have and probably will have for...

Move on. And never tell a girl you're depressed or suicidal. They'll lose all respect for you.
Tell her you're suicidal. Tell her that being with her romantically is the only way you can envision being able to go on without ending your life.
If she doesn't cave, go to her new place with a knife, and slam on her door until she comes out and sees its you. Take out your knife and drag it across your bare chest, deep enough to draw plenty of blood but superficial enough not to do any real harm
Tell her you need her and that you'll do something crazy if she doesn't let you in
>>16905562
I'm trying to get into a relationship, not a mental institution... Thanks for the effort though.
You know how people micro dose lsd to treat mental illness.
If I take a shot of alcohol I don't feel as depressed (ya I know alcohol is a depressant), and function fine. I was on SSRI's for a year and a half with no drugs or alcohol whatsoever. What do you think /adv/?
Why don't you just microdose lsd?
>>16905544
1) muhhh social anxiety
2) I don't trust illegal lsd cooks.
3) I have no hookup to lsd.
>>16905550
I'd advise against alcoholism, which is where this line of treatment will eventually get you. Nothing wrong with one drink but it's a slippery slope
How do you clean your retainer without damaging it but actually removing white spots and cleaning it in a careful way?
I dunno man, we mostly talk about girls and depression on here.
>>16905492
Gotta be 18 to post here.
Ultrasonic cleaners + some cleaner like retainer brite
