I just can't compete with the horde of dudes chasing these women. Even average to below average women have legions of thirsty dudes after them. I can't attract women because of it.
Those dudes have capital. Cars, houses , apartments. All I have is honor. Which doesn't mean squat in this world.
I am 26 abd I feel I have been excluded in one of the most human activities. Havibg a relationship.
How to compete with a endless horde of thirsty dudes who armed to the teeth with capital?

1.be yourself
2.talk to alot of girls.

Seize the means of production
When I was a teen I felt excited about the world, like it was me against the world and I had tons to accomplish.
I'm 25 now and just feel meh. Not depressed or happy but meh. Games and music and film is just meh instead of inspiring and emotional. I feel like becoming a pawn of society but getting a degree and doing what I'm supposed to do just feels meh and drained and individuality I had.
Anyone know this? How can I reverse this? I want to be excited by art and inspired and ready to take on the world and pave my own way instead of just being meh about everything.
>>17326256
man has this weird thing where they have to stop consuming and start creating. you enjoyed art, you were inspired by it, but you never built upon it in any way. you have noted that you are tired of consuming but you havent made the transition into creating.
so go start creating stuff.
also, getting a normal job does not take away your individuality. if all you had going for you was you didn't get a degree, than you never had any individuality to begin with, you just wished you did.

I've been making stuff for 10 years tho.

then give up and kill yourself?
I made a thread on /sci about this yesterday without having read their sticky about coming here for major advice.
Anywho, I'm going into Environmental Science without much background knowledge in math and science, though both of which I have had an easy time picking up at community college level classes, conceptual learning comes easy to me- its just that prior, in highschool (US educational system, mind you), I didnt care about grades much. I did just enough to get B's and couldnt care any less. I hardly learned shit.
I'm concerned that I'm...

I have no first hand experience but wish I had done this field. Fucking 6 figure jobs man, straight out of college!

Where do you get your information? From what I was aware most entry level jobs were only 5 figure

Has anyone ever crawled out of NEET status? I'm fucking miserable and want to work and have a fulfilling life, but the idea of working is legitimately terrifying to me. I'm not even an autist. I go to uni and out with friends, it's only work itself that gets me riddled with fear.
Pls help
>>17326196
Go volunteer somewhere and screw up there. At least you'll learn to be confortable in your own skin and gage if you'll be ready for real work.
>>17326211
Are there no jobs where I can just lift shit for people and labour? I'm pretty /fit/, I just don't wanna talk to anyone.
>>17326225
Become a construction/carpenter apprentice that's what I did, it's simple but hard work after you've done that for a year or two any other job will seem like a piece of cake.
Hairstyle advice thread?
I've kinda been neglecting my hair was wondering if I could get some pointers on how to get this done up right.
Also feel free to ask about your own hair.
>>17326177
This is me attatched. Ikik not very attractive.
>>17326182
I was think getting something like this. Opinions?
>>17326183
Do anything with your hair and you'll look better. Besides, stand straight
What kind of career is best for someone who is shy and introverted? I mean someone who can barely talk to people.
Customer service, so you can work on that shyness and introversion. Happened to me and after a few years of it I'm pretty much a normie now talking with people. Still have my anime and videogame hobbies though.
>>17326178
How do I get into customer service with no experience? Aren't they usually looking for someone with experience?
>>17326188
Not really. Customer service is pretty entry-level since they sucks so much. I mean, it might help with your shyness and all that like it helped me but I had to go through so much it that I honestly don't recommend it to somebody. Working for a cleaning company or a position not involving the cash registers on a supermarket might be better for you.
My former roommate abandoned her two cats with me and now she has become impossible to contact.
Blocked me on all social media, wont answer any calls from any number, and gave me a fake address.
However i do know where she works.
So my question is: Is there any way i can legally make her come claim her goddam cats? Ive been taking care of them cause im not heartless and no one else will.
I just wanted her to at least buy more food. She just said "no" and hit me with the iron curtain. Its been 4 months of this now.
>>17326166
Write a letter to her at work.: "Unless you pick up your cats by [date 2 weeks off] I will bring them to the cat shelter in [name of town]."
Do it.
>>17326166
Poor kitties. Anon, please take them to a reputable shelter to get adopted if she keeps blocking you out. They deserve better than that.
>>17326245
Even better, fucking go to her job and tell her boss what a worthless human being she is and make sure everyone knows it.
ITT: stories about and advice on how to deal with roommates
I'll start off with why I will never have roommates again:
>live with BF and 2 dogs in good-sized house
>a coworker (A) and his friend (B) come live with us until we move to a different city (6 months)
>1st month is great
>2nd month B's dog chews up quite a lot, including $100 dress shoes
>ask B to just pay for the shoes

Your boyfriend sounds like a bitch.
If my roommate brought home a dog, he'd soon be missing one dog, and one window, because I'm booting that dog out his bedroom window.
There's household rules, and if you don't follow them, there's household consequences.
No fucking dogs are allowed in my house.
>>17326176
>Your boyfriend sounds like a bitch
Because he didn't want 5 dogs in the house? Tbh I didn't either but I'm too scared/passive to speak up for anything. That's one reason why a lot of this happened. He didn't want 5 dogs because he was home the most and ended up taking care of all the dogs, even the roommate's who said he would take care of his own dogs. He was also tired of things getting chewed up by the roommate's dog (even if off the floor and...

Not because he didn't want 5 dogs in the house, because he allowed 5 dogs in the house.
Call animal control, crush glass up in hamburger meat, kick them out a window, beat your dog bearing roomates up for even thinking about crowding your home with dogs.
I wouldn't stand for that shit in my house, why is he? Oh, right. He's a bitch.
Anyone know if its too late to make it into college for the fall semester? I just walked out on my job. Didn't feel like the job was even worth staying in. I've got the gi bill going for me also so I can go to pretty much any college.
Community college. Otherwise, enroll now for winter quarter / spring semester.
>>17326089
It's probably too late to receive any financial aid for this school year. Even though you have GI Bill access, most financial aid is already accounted for. Your best bet is to call financial aid at a college you're interested in.
>>17326089
Here's a really bizarre off-the-wall thought - why not contact the college and ask them?
Do exes ever get back together?
bumping for answers as well, I am in a situtaion where I'd do anything to get back with my ex (even if I know it probably won't happen)
Yes.

I have never before been on a date that didn't end in sex (not that I've been on many - was stuck in LTR for nine years out together, during my 20s.)
I don't know what I want. Obviously I'd like to have sex, since I'm on a 3+ months dry spell, but not sure if I should lead her towards that, or just see where she wants to take it. Maybe slow is good for a change, but don't want to miss out in case she's eager for the D. I'm usually the anon who give younger guys advice on what to do on dates, but she's the one asking me out, and she seems like the kind of woman who knows what she wants. Is it best to just ease into it, or should I lead no matter what, so she doesn't get impatient?
On a sidenote, she's not as attractive as most of the women I've been with, and I've been known to experiences difficulties getting hard with women who aren't Kiera Knightly tier. Should I tell her that I'm slow to begin with, but as soon as I'm comfortable I usually have a high sex drive, or is that a total turn-off and should only be said if everything fails?
>tl;dr OP is fucked up in his avoidant penis but would like to take his date places.
Two hours left
Try to fuck or just be friendly?
I was soft when a girl gave me head and i felt like shit. I went down on her and after about 20 min i got hard. Maybe you should do that first.
>>17326037
She's old enough to know what she wants, that's why she invited you out. You should be old enough to be able to read this situation.
Don't tard it up.
How do I tell women that I don't want to do anything to do with them unless it's about sex or studying/work without sounding like an asshole?
Practice.
>>17326025
/ Bait / 10
>>17326025
Learn sign language. You'll still look like the asshole you are, but you won't sound like one.
How do I stop myself from having a crush on a guy over ten years older than me?
We work together in fairly similar roles, so I guessed he's a couple of years older than me, like 23-25. He's always been very nice and helpful and seemed way more calm and mature than most guys I know, and I really liked that. A dead serious guy with a rugged face full of helpful tips and laconic wit.
Then he casually mentions something that clearly implied he's at the very least nine years older than me, easily well over 30.
What do I do.
Why is that a problem if you like him?
>>17326014
There's two reasons why a guy would want to date someone way younger.
A. He likes having someone mentally unchallenging, with less life experience, so he knows all the cards and has the upper hand at any time.
B. He actually is on a mental level below his age, and won't ever actually grow up.
Neither will be a happy, functional relationship.
>>17326010
Nothing wrong with having a crush. They fade with time. I had a huge crush on my boss when I first started, and that guy was 50. He was a Clooney type all the way around. Yeah, what woman wouldn't crush on that? It went away a few months later, because business is business and crushes are fleeting and harmless.
You're at work to do work. So concentrate on your work. They're not paying you to daydream about another dude there. When you're not at work, go be with friends. Have fun. Make new...

>>17326219
it means a missed call?
So I work security and I fill up the company vehicle with gas during shifts. I was wondering would it be possible to sneak one of the 1 gallon emergency fill ups in with my shift and fill it up when I fill my work vehicle up or would someone eventually end up noticing. There's not set time of when I have to fill up or dollar limit or anything.
Someone will notice eventually. is your career and criminal history worth $2.2 a gallon?
>>17325965
>>17325965
>Someone will notice eventually
How? The amount of driving i do can be extremely variable.
> is your career and criminal history worth $2.2 a gallon?
Try $2.5. The owners of this company don't pay attention to fucking anything so I doubt theyd even notice in the first place.
Oh and I could easily get 2 gallons a week and my car takes 13. That's not an insignificant amount for me to get off with.
