/adv/, I go to a club in town approx 3 nights a week, and without going into a lengthy story about our history, I'll just give a general "halp" statement.
There's another regular guy who goes there who is highly influencial, he has a bunch of buddies that go and a group of ratchety yet attractive girls that hang with him.
Anyway due to shit in the past he basically now goes out of his way to either cock block me or make my night shit by, for instance, telling any girl I talk to that I'm...

You said you never reacted when he started doing this, then you say you've already tried diplomacy and telling him to fuck off. Care to elaborate ?
Revel in it. He's threatened by you and making an unsubtle ass of himself doing it.
If you're consistently a good sort, they'll think he's a jealous prick and wonder why he thinks you're so good as to be threatening.
Try not to be smug about it!

Basically in the past we tried to be friends but our personalities clash too much. Ever since I fucked one of his friends he's been on this warpath. When I say I've tried both, he likes to get all up in my face when he's actively trying pull a girl off of me, threatening to break this or that. I've just continuously stressed that I don't give a fuck.
It was when I started hanging out with one of his friends ex's that he got super aggressive about it. Like now I can't even...

my friend is in emotional pain, how do i support and help her? she drinks a lot to get away from it all and i just want to help her. i feel helpless when i talk to her because i feel like there is nothing that i can do yet i feel guilty because i am doing nothing
is your friend pretty?
i'm a fucking beast and none of my friends will help me even though i'm about to be homeless
>>17321825
she is but it wouldn't make a difference otherwise. sounds like you just have bad friends because i'm also a beast and my friends have tried to help me in difficult times
>>17321225
>she
As a female, she already has all the support and cock she needs, if she doesn't want to use it there's nothing you can do.
Literally fucked 9 different escorts over the weekend using my mid year bonus. I had never done an escort before (just fucked one random fat chick a couple times as my only times for having sex). I dunno if I should be happy or depressed. I enjoyed my time during (a couple ones more than others).

How do you go about setting up a date with one? And how much does a decent looking one without a ton of scars and bruises and STDs cost?
>>17321224
Backpage worked for me, but I think it depends on the city. I spent over $5000 over the weekend. <$100 you are gonna get a fat slob/older woman (1/9). $100-$200 you can get a decent one that is usually a milf (most fun to actually be with) (5/9). $400+ you will find actually sub 25 escorts that are hot as fuck, but boring in bed (2/9). $2000 plus primo, pretty much willing to do anything you want her to do (1/9) and hot as fuck.
I really enjoyed the primo as she was pretty much my slave for the entire night...

Would you do it again? And if so, what would you change this time around?
can my parents see who i text on my phone without looking at my phone? they pay the bill.
>>17321204
My phone bill just says how many texts I sent. Not to who.
Yes, they can view your texts online. At with my provider it's like that. I can go and dig up any text or call I've ever made.

I have literally slept for 16 hours today and I am still fucking tired.
I take multivitamins, I go to the gym every other day, eat healthy food, idk what else there is to do.
It's been like this ever since I switched over my meds. I take 75mg of Venlafaxine but recently the pills changed a bit, the label says although they appear different, it is the same medicine I have always had. Maybe it is just a coincidence but still...
How to sleep less?
>>17321175
get sunlight, drink something sugary, get a hobby
>>17321218
I am a programmer so sunlight is a rarity, I hate sugary beverages and I have plenty of hobbies.
The problem is I need to sleep less and I feel exhausted all the time although I have slept
>>17321175
Consider going to a sleep medicine doctor.
How can I kill myself quickly without making a mess or attracting unwanted attention?
>>17321167
Helium method is pretty popular.
Apparently it is just like falling asleep.
Most ways aren't easy, why are you trying to kill yourself. I get you just want the pain to go away but you can't give up so easily.

KHV at 23. Haven't left the house in months. No friends. No drive in life. I live off my YouTube channel where I make the same shit over and over again. Nobody cares about me. I'm just a clown for people to laugh at.
There are a few girls I like. They are both fairly young compared to me. I'm 25, one is 19 and the other is 18. I am somewhat religious, and I made a prayer that involved God giving me a very specific sign to tell me that a girl is a decent girl. The girl that is 19 gave that sign. I lost contact with her, but I would like to get together with her. I understand that just because God gave me a sign that she would be good for me does not necessarily mean anything other than she would be good for me. I will say that the sign that I requested is something that would be nearly...

I can't take this seriously when someone asks their deity for dating advice.

I'm a bit biased cause I have a crazy religious mother who has no respect for views other than her own.

I'm just saying what happened. I take a loose interpretation of the bible, and I'm probably more open minded than most people but I still believe in god. Asking someone that you believe makes better choices than you to help you find someone that won't fuck you over isn't really a bad idea. Not to mention that I've literally never seen or heard of somebody else seeing this thing. I very seriously doubt that many, if any people have seen this specific set of actions and words. It's why...

Long term advice is they won't stick with you long term. Sure they be crushing now, but they won't stick with you. Girls 21 and under are stupid bitches whose lives center around themselves. They cannot comprehend being in an actual, functioning, long term relationship because they're too busy pursuing their own goals.
Pick older girls dude.

Supported living payment.
I've always have a trouble understanding the double standard between men and women concerning sex. Why, when a man has sex with multiple women or scores/flirts with multiple women, it's cool, it's admirable, he receives praise even. However when a woman does likewise--scores/flirts with/has sex with multiple men (sometimes with even one man if he's not a boyfriend) she's a slut. I'm a slut for loving sex as much as a guy?
I guess i'm a slut
I don't get it man.
*had trouble
>>17321155
Men gain sex through conquest, manipulation, and/or effort, while women simply have sex by opening their legs and giving a man permission to touch them. Also, you have a uterus. You're capable of being knocked up meaning you have an added responsibility that men don't necessarily have to worry about. Who you select to spill baby gravy inside of you (even if you are using protection, accidents are known to happen) has an effect on all of society.
Women are the sexual gatekeepers, a woman who is not choosy about her mates shows she has poor judgement.
Men on the other hand are designed to fuck anything and everything to pass on their genes. So, a man who gets a lot of tail is successful.
It's basic biology.
It's my brother's 19th birthday tomorrow and I don't know what to get him. He is a university student studying bio-psych and he is into cars as well. Gimme some ideas.

I just started a long distance relationship with an amazing girl can you give me some advice.
If you two really care about eachother, send her a teddy bear, maybe she can do the same.
>>17321136
if u dont tell her good night or good morning she'll think ur not interested anymore
I have a lot of experience dealing with long relationships. I was in one with a boy for 2 and a half years. Here is what you do to keep her interested:
-Get Skype. Skype that bitch twice a week. Plan ahead too, make up cute little dates. Like watch a movie together or some shit.
-Send her things. More specifically send your things, they will mean more to her. Send her a sweater, or a t-shirt she can sleep in. *i know shipping can be expensive. just think of it as date money, instead of going out to dinner you're sending her things*
-Morning and goodnight texts...

Sup /adv/, I've been thinking a lot about starting over again, or rather just starting.
I'm from Italy, I'm 19. My life is average at best, no real friends, family is hot garbage (drunken father and non-existant mother) - I inherited through some ways a decent amount of money and I plan on using them to start my life. I wanna go live on my own, get a small apartment, and work on my passion (videography). But I've also been planning a trip, my first one off this shitty land, either to Tokyo or New York. I plan on moving to New York (or the United States)...

New York is way too expensive (housing, food, education you'll be paying for - unless is public-) why don't you move to LA or San Francisco. Also, speaking about the "jobs", try working on something you like, so you can turn into a happy person, I'm assuming you're sad as you want to fuck off from Italy and because of your fammily history (no offence intended). Remember, money runs out fast and try to have a coupe of grands saved for an emergency. Good Luck!

22k won't last you long in any of the three cities mentioned above. I mean, this is assuming you're like most young people that try to move somewhere and end up essentially just taking an extended vacation and going home when you're broke.

>Also, speaking about the "jobs", try working on something you like, so you can turn into a happy person
That's what I plan to do, I wanna move to NYC and start working as a videographer, eventually get my way up to become a dp. It's gonna be tough, but I better start soon.
I haven't been happy for a long time, too much pressure from my family. I won't continue on this because this would become a r9k thread. I think that moving there and starting a new life would make me happy.

Live in house with 2 lock sets, only have one set of keys though, so instead of buying 3 new handles we just dont use the lock on them
Except for One female roommate keeps locking them when she is home alone and sits with headphones in her room at the back of the house. Cant reach her window and she cant hear us band on the door. Have asked her not to do it and today i yelled and she came back with "yea, or what?"
All i can think to do is just break the doors window to unlock it and just force her to pay for it.
Any other ways to get back at her that...

If you haven't explored the situation in a polite manner then get to it. If you already have then tell her to get the fuck out, seems like she is aware of it and is doing it to just be a bitch and see how much control she can have on the other residents. If you can't kick her out just find a new place buddy.
Or just lace her drinks with sleeping pills and post in / b with a "rolls...

Hey adv, my step-sister is getting a job at Starbucks, and I was hoping to score some points with helpful advice.
Can any former/current Starbucks tell me anything? It seems like there are a load of drinks to memorize, for one thing.
Your step-sister will quickly find out on her own that Starbucks is a slavedriving, corporatist shithole.
She will be payed not enough money to do too much work. She will have to either accept this early on or move on.
Starbucks employees are notorious for their shitty thick-rimmed glasses and a fake, obsequious attitude toward every customer. Add misspelling the customer's name on virtually every cup of coffee for some icing on the mocha.
If she is willing to truly dedicate herself to her shit-tier slave-wage labor job, she will undoubtedly thrive...

Current Starbucks barista here.
I've been at Starbucks for 1.5 years. The first month is hard. They used to give you 2 1/2 weeks of training but now training is only 3 days. There are a lot of drinks to memorize but most of them are based on the basic easy drinks like lattes, frappuccinos and drip coffee. The good thing is that you start off with the easiest roles, she wont be on bar making drinks (which is the hardest role) until a month into the job. Also if in doubt when writing drinks on the cup,...
