Is there some sort of trick to attracting women I'm missing? I regularly bathe and groom myself, have a car, have a job, have hobbies and the few people I do talk to seem to come back for more.
And don't try to imply it's a superpower, I have already walked out of electronics stores with free shit without getting caught. It gets old.
Show a picture of yourself?
Maybe you're a ghost.
im in the same situation op.
sometimes i wonder if im just the most boring man alive.
This is my first time posting on this board. A little about myself, i am an amateur bodybuilder and about 40% of my diet consists of lean protein. The problem I have noticed with this is my diet is causing my semen to smell and taste funny(according to my gf). What fruits should I eat to make my semen smell and taste less funny without it affecting my diet too much?

Is it worth getting an associates degree in computer programming?
It's the only thing that really interests me but people keep saying Chinese and Indians are destroying the market with cheap labor.

>Is it worth getting an associates degree in computer programming?
A bachelor's degree in CS would be better, but an associate's can be a good stepping stone toward that.
The thing about the job market is is that you can't just hack code, or worse, program by copypasta. Any fool van do that, and these are the jobs getting sucked up by outsourcing. To survive in the modern American programming job market, you have to actually git gud. Once you understand the basics, start contributing small fixes to open-source projects: this builds a portfolio that you can show to enployers. In time, work on something a bit bigger: it doesn't have to be huge, but it does need to be your own. Open-source that too, so you can put it in your portfolio.
This is not to say that everything you do should be open-source: only that everything you put in your portfolio should be. Closed-source projects are good feathers in your cap, but it's unwise to show closed-source code to potential employers. Put them on your resume if you have them, but don't call them part of your portfolio.
well really it's that the companies that would otherwise be hiring you at a normal rate would rather pay someone from another country a lower wage and pocket the difference.
I don't know that it's that wise to get into a services job where you're competing with a billion other people for a few scraps, but I'm not sure what the other options are, for any of us.

How the fuck do I get away from my parents without a college diploma or a car or anything? They make my life a living hell and the whole house is covered in mold and shit like that so it's dangerous as fuck.
I just want to go somewhere warm like Florida or something I really want to go to a major city for public transit or something because I have no car. I wouldn't mind riding a bike and riding trains and buses for an hour every day to work I'm just worried I won't make enough for rent.
>>16895386
Job first move second, dont go to florida be homeless, try to look online whos hiring, set interviews, dont just randomly go. Dont burn bridges at home
First, get a job. Save up enough money for at least 3 months worth of expenses. That probably means something like $3000. It might take you a few months to do - you need to be disciplined and legally spend nothing while you're saving. Do research - are there cheaper places to stay at night besides renting an apartment? You can look for an apartment AFTER you get a job.
You can make it happen,you'll just need to do some legwork yourself .
>>16895386
>and the whole house is covered in mold and shit like that so it's dangerous as fuck
Go and do some deep pit mining, or some steel fixing, or spend a year as an 0311 in Iraq. Then come back and see if you think your house that needs a bit of a spring clean is "dangerous as fuck".
Co-workers keep asking me to cover for them.
I used to work days, which I hated, and now I'm working nights, which I like. Problem is my co-workers keep asking if I can work on such and such day. I just got another request to come in for a couple hours today because "we have no one to cover" for two hours. It's not coming from my boss btw. I can use the excuse that my aunt and cousin are in town, but basically I just don't want to work because fuck days.
What's /adv/ think? Thanks
I also want to add that I used to work 10 hours days just to cover that 2 hour gap and these two who keep asking are new. I feel guilty but I also feel "fuck 'em".
Tell them that you're on a night schedule and can't work on zero sleep. Say that you wouldn't ask them to work in the middle of the night, either. You can be assertive without being a jerk.
>>16895417
My boss just texted asking me to come in for a couple hours.
>any chance you could help out for a couple hour today?
idk what to do.
I feel like shit and need to call in sick.
I've always hated doing this call.
can you give me some /adv/ and a script on doing this.
this is my first job in 3 years so I have forgotten or feel nervous again doing it.
I think I will be needing today and tomorrow off too. feel feverish and stuff.
should I text or call my bosses private phone (she gave me her number) or wait til half an hour before I'm supposed to start and call the workplace hope shes already at work
>>16895380
Go to the doctors and get a sick note, why not just email them?
>>16895380
>call them
>depending on who picks up, ask to speak to your boss
>explain what's going on
usually if it's 3 or more days, you'll need a doctor's note. most places are understanding though. i know how you feel though, i ended up not calling in today but i've got this weird cold that's stuffing up my head and it's giving me a pounding headache.
Well keep it simple, something along the lines of "Hi, this is Anon, I'm calling to say that unfortunately I won't be able to come in to work today because I'm not feeling very well." and go from there. If you're leaving a message, maybe you can add something like "If needed, call me back for more details" or whatever,
I'd suggest you call as soon as possible, if your boss needs to find someone to replace you, it gives them more time to do so.
Anyway, don't worry, I'm sure it will be fine. Everyone gets sick once in a while.
My father is fighting cancer, we have been doing everything we can but we need help. I hate to ask but I have seen my Father go from a strong person to someone who is very weak and in alot of pain. He does not have insurance right now since he just got laid off from work due to how sick he is and trying to get him on state aid but that takes time..so please any help will be grateful

On Instagram, is it wrong to ask to follow girls who have boyfriends?
If you ever have to ask to follow someone on social media, you're a gigantic faggot.
>>16895433
I want to follow woman, not man.
How can you know if people actually like you? How can you tell if they're actually just tolerating you and being polite to avoid conflict?
>>16895342
it boils down to what they'd be willing to do for you when it comes to friends. if you can call a friend at 4am and ask for a ride to the hospital and they do it instead of saying 'get a taxi' you know they're a good friend. even more so if they want to stay there all fucking day while they check if you got appendicitis.
family its a bit harder. instead of loyalty they may feel obligation. with family its more about how many extra curriculars they try to indulge in with you. do they not invite you to anything outside of the family/home life? my brother likes to plan hunting trips with me six months in advance so he knows ill be there. he sends me random text messages throughout the year. my dad has literally never called just to talk.
as for a girl, it depends. its kind of like wiht family. do they make an effort to be in your life, or do they just accept that they are a part of yours? as in, if you disappeared for a few days would they notice, reach out, perhaps plan something? it still isnt 100% guaranteed they have feelings, but its an interesting enough way to see.
>>16895353
Focusing just on non-romantic non-family friends, is there any way to tell without being in an extreme "I need a ride to the hospital at 4am" situations? Some social cue or mannerism maybe?
>>16895358
yes. if they seem annoyed by the things you do, then they probably arent into you.
sorry bud, nto sure what you're asking. im nto suggesting you fake an injury to get that hospital ride, its just the way a relationship develops. there comes a time when you need a favor, and they might be there to help you.
you can tell with little things like whether or not you are invited to the majority of friend events assuming you have a group. if not maybe how often they personally invite you as opposed to you inviting them
So I'm a full time worker paying 600+ per month in child support. Yeah I make decent money, but it's time I better my life, so I've decided to go back to school for engineering.
The thing is, there's no way I could afford the child support, rent, and necessities while working part time .
I'm 23 and live in the Midwest.
Thank you senpai.

Is moving back in with parents an option?
What do you want us to do?
ok
I'm applying for this graduate school scholarship but I live outside the US currently and had to get letters of recommendation from my US professors. Unfortunately I was only given a month to actually prepare the scholarship from the time the application instructions were posted online. My professors letters have been lost in the mail since I live overseas and USPS is a pile of shit. I don't really have time to get a replacement from them.
How can I successfully forge their letters since it said they had to be in 'official' envelopes. There isn't really an issue with forging the profs info in this case since they actually did write me a letter and would vouch for it if they called the number I write. I just need a way to make it look official; particularly the envelope.
Anyone been in my situation, or know how to deal with this?
There is more to this story than you are admitting.
>>16895376
What do you mean? I live outside the US, I needed a letter of recommendation, they told me they sent it. The deadline of the application is approaching and I haven't received it yet.
There's no more to it really? I need to forge for this reason, the professor would of course say they wrote it because they actually did write and send me one, it just hasn't reached me in time.
>>16895328
yeah I cant help you but holy shit I remember this hell, professors are so fucking bad about letters of rec, almost got fucked for life because professors never got around to shit
I have a bit of a problem. I have two employers wanting me to work for them, both restaurants in SF. one is more accessible, has less late hours, and pays more, but the other is at a restaurant owned by a famous chef, I've done a working interview there, and I really like the people I'd be working with. which one should I choose? I have to let them know in a couple hours, and I feel like no matter which one I pick, I'll be kicking myself over rejecting the other one
that's tough. is the pay difference pretty significant? i know SF is expensive.
>>16895323
if there is no right answer, there is no wrong answer either. its a positive experience no matter what, not a negative experience.
my question is, are you going to be some sort of chef with chance of advancement? if so MAYBE go for the one with the famous chef, but even then i dont think kitchen politics centered aroudn a famous chef are that much of a thing. if anything you're likely to do better as a big fish in small water.
id take the fewer hours with more pay. they'd balance out well and you'd have time to enjoy your life instead of waking up every day and saying 'at least someone famous works at my restaurant'.
>>16895333
about $1.75/hr. I don't live in SF though, I live with my mum in the East Bay
Why does the act of spitting up hurt so much? I have to split up with my gf because our relationship has turned into an emotional draining state where non of us can function properly. We're not happy anymore. The thought of leaving her though, never cuddling her at night again, never cooking for her, going on trips with her or experiencing other stuff with her again is killing me. I feel like I'm floating in a vast ocean of emptyness and pain. Does it get better after? That's all I want to know....
>>16895307
How do I find a girl into pegging?
>>16895307
It will take awhile, but it does get better, but, you have to try and make it feel better. Seriously, you cannot pussy out and just mope around, that's how you lose the good years of your life.
Don't get me wrong, you're entitled to wallow for some time, but don't let it engulf you.
Move on, go outside, meet new people, work on yourself, don't be afraid to be selfish, fuck other girls. You'll be fine, but you already know that.
Have you tried working out your differences? I'm in the same boat. I've been feeling like I need to end it with my boyfriend for a year now but I can't being myself to do it. I know we're not right for eachother but it's so hard to let go. This shit keeps me up every night.
I've decided to expand my mind. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything that interests me. Just list out random subjects that you like to learn about.
>>16895296
You should learn about CONCRETE. Did you know that CONCRETE was used to build the Colosseum, one of the Roman Empire's greatest architectural achievements? Then around 1800 years later the United States of America used this Great Composite Material (GCM) to build what is, perhaps, the greatest architectural feat of the 20th century: Hoover Dam! Shove that up your ass Germany! As you can see, the GCM we refer to plainly as CONCRETE has a great history behind it. And modern CONCRETE is even better and stronger too! Due to the GCM's one weakness, it's low tensile strength, modern science has allowed for CONCRETE to be reinforced with other strong materials such as steel. Ain't that just something?
It's no wonder humanity relies so much on CONCRETE. Where humans need infrastructure the GCM is sure to be found. Thank you for spending time learning about our GCM and God bless.
Learn about learning then. Also project management, leadership skills and human relations.
>>16895296 prolly would be good to start with a new language. I think that you can acquire a knew way of thinking by learning a new language. The more different from yours, the better
I'm going to try and make this a straight-forward as possible:
>Relationship of 4 years
>Swallowed some type of pill and realized me and my gf is sort of an emotional scumbag
>She doesn't do hardly any chores
>Fellatio/Cunnilingus ratio is sadly about 20/80
>Realize we are 100% in a codependent relationship
>tfw I lost a bunch of weight and she didn't
>tfw she's the low energy sex partner
>she can't handle any constructive criticism but she dishes it out frequently
>tfw I can't advance career or relationships outside of her because she always wants to do something with me.
>Says she will do anything to help me and often doesn't. Not intentionally, she's just not very helpful.
I could give you 100 more of these. I know what you're thinking "Just leave, dude".
Ok, but here's the thing. I've been trying to practice talking to other women (not to cheat, to prepare myself for the aftermath if I do gather the courage) and I truly suck. My social anxiety used to be crippling as a teenager, but after working jobs, getting laid, and knowing someone intimately for years, I have to potential to be a more outgoing person.
PS - She's the type to immediately start threatening her own life/ get revenge on me. How do I go about leaving her abruptly without her doing anything drastic?
My question is what can I do to prepare myself for a breakup? How do I get better at talking to people? I honestly just want to do a dry run and see if I could get another girl to want to fuck me, but I have no idea how to go about it. About any of this.
You talk like you already made up your mind. And how would you practice talking to people? Thats right. You already know.
>>16895304
I haven't. I keep reverting back to sunken cost fallacy when I get close to ending it. I've been trying to leave for 9 months. I was ready to do it and then she plans a nonrefundable trip and pays for most of my stuff guaranteeing we stay together at least a few more months. She has to know, right? Is this her trying to keep me around?
>>16895284
From the sounds of your whiny little post here I'm guessing she's totally normal and you're just an asshole yourself. 'Practicing talking to other women for the aftermath' get the fuck outta here with that shit mang. Leave the poor bitch at least so she can go fuck some alphas before settling down. You're the one just wasting her time at this point leading her on after 4 damn years.
Admitting you're being an asshole about this and leaving her now can help lead the way to solving your social retardation too.
