If I keep self improving, keep assimilating into society, keep joining clubs and rushing fraternities, putting myself out there and being sociable and living a relatively normal life, then eventually I'll get laid right?
This can't be my life forever.
Eventually I just wont be able to do it anymore.

Stop being so desperate. Focus on other shit and it'll all fall into place. When you have your systems set up where you're a functioning human being with things going on for you, you'll start to look attractive.

being laid is a subplot of life, not the endgame.

now i'm awaiting a "beeeeeee urself" post
TL:DR I was "homeschooled" but not really. Sat at home playing video games/browsing the internet all day. Took an ASVAB practice test online. How's my score, and what should I do to get myself in to the US Navy with a good job?
Backstory: My parents decided to homeschool me in a state which has very lax homeschool laws. My math skills are basically non-existent beyond basic addition/subtraction, I think my parents stopped teaching me anything beyond 2nd-3rd grade level math because I threw tantrums whenever they tried to teach me. When I was awake, I spent...

If this were a highschool asvab. They would fucking call your ass. 67.5 is a high score. I don't know about a GED however. But you qualify for a lot of good jobs. You won't be a cook.

Without a HS diploma it's very unlikely that you can join. They let in only an extremely small percentage of people that apply with a GED.

Wow man, that's really shitty. If you've been together for 2 years you deserved better than that
Some people are shitty, and you just cant fix that. Find comfort in knowing you did the right thing, and there was nothing you could do
Good luck
She's a slut and she knows it. Just don't mind her and start dating another girl when you feel ready. She'll be mad when she realize you don't care about her anymore while she will keep cheating on whoever she date like a whore.
You did good son, now just cut all contact and enjoy life without a manipulative slut.

four years old. brother asked if i wanted to learn about sex. i said sure. he then told me we'd have it and i had to be the girl. i said no. he said if i didnt do it he'd tell on me and say it was me who suggested it.
made me rub his but and then his penis a little bit.

That doesn't sound too good

Around 6-7. Attic with cousin's friend, pretty sure its why I have social issues. Good news is most of it is still blocked out of my memory.
I'm worried I may be gay. I'm currently in a hetero relationship, but I think about women. I really like my man, he is the love of my life but I still feel this way. I don't know what to do. I don't think I can see myself spending the rest of my life with a woman, but I'm worried I'm gay. Should I ignore these feelings? Will they go away?
Ask him if he'd be down to have a threesome.
He wouldn't.
>>17361117
Wtf. Most men would jump with joy like a kid on christmas to have a gf who'd be down to fuck another girl with him.
Anyways, you should prob break up with him and go eat the carpet so you aren't a cheater.

Guys:
How much do you care if a girl is a virgin? I'm scared that I'm going to end up too nervous and starfishing for my first time
>>17360964
Im always scared of blood because my penis is on the bigger side. I would just close my eyes and ask if im hurting her.
>>17360964
>How much do you care if a girl is a virgin? I'm scared that I'm going to end up too nervous and starfishing for my first time
Uhh...
Do I seek it out? No.
Would I be pissed a girl was? No.
I'd just be kind of...neutral. Wouldn't really care one way or the other.
I guess the only thing that'd change is i'd try to be more gentle and considerate than usual.
If you want some tips for your first time:
Be vocal and communicative...

Old one is dead
I'm a fucking psycho. I am thinking of this Charlie thing so much. I know I get attached after I have sex with someone but since we were getting along so well and how sweet and my type he was I thought it was okay. I can't really deal with not being able to really talk to him though... It is just stressing me out too much. I will call at like 6 if he hasn't messaged me back yet and I will ask about hanging out tomorrow but I really want to ask him if he hardly even likes talking to me. I don't care much if it seems clingy or anything anymore because it -is-...

Other ones still going
some of my friends got pretty famous and now they don't speak to me. I ran into one of them and he faked being friendly so he could sit at my table but didn't really act interested in my life, and didn't reply to a casual text. I guess I am taking it too personally but it still feels bad.
I don't know what to do.

You're friendzoned, bro. Time to forget about her. (At least, forget about her being your girlfriend.)
Quotes and defeatism. Thanks /adv/
so I just went to launch with a manager girl at my work so I can ace a interview for her old job, but when I showed up she dressed nice and had makeup on (she never wares the stuff) and we talked for a hour and a half about work a little and the rest about junk,and she was very into the convo...... did I just go on a date with out knowing it?
>>17364447
what makes you think that? I mean it could be professional but she has never done this with anyone from work before, it made me confused
Is the job that you're interviewing for within the same company?
There's an EDM dance club in my town that plays sick underground techno. I love this music with a passion. The only problem is this club is a gay club, but many straight people go for the music unless it's a gays-only night.
I've been there a couple of times with friends but I'm debating on going tonight by myself(everyone is busy). I'm no homophobe or anything, but I'm a fit tall attractive male. Gays hit on me enough in public or a mainstream bar, and are usually very forward. I don't want to get my ass grabbed or anything, and I fee...

Well where should I get my techno fix?
I'm starting college soon and I need something that's better than my standard bike which I use for work. An ebike is MUCH cheaper, way more fun, and does the 20 mile round trip fine before needing a charge. Yeah a car has practically infinite range, but seems overkill for my needs save for a few road trips here and there. I'm leaning toward the ebike for long term benefits like saving money and health, but is a car really worth the extra money just for passengers and cargo?
They have winter where you live?
>>17364386
Yup. I would ride in the snow for months. I don't think and ebike is any different
I don't know what to shlick to anymore. I'm so tired of my usual stuff and of seeing and hearing about sex in general. The problem is I absolutely need to do it to relax and to fall asleep. I refuse to try getting into disgusting things because it's just wrong. What should I do? It's getting increasingly hard and stressful for me. Falling asleep in itself is also getting increasingly hard. It's so depressing.
>I refuse to try getting into disgusting things because it's just wrong.
No it's not
> I refuse to try getting into disgusting things because it's just wrong.
Is masturbating and sex really not disgusting enough already that you have to look down at even the implication of a fetish? You need to get over yourself.
Go get a vibrator or dildo or some other toy. Maybe a Hitachi wand. That or try some sleep aids, like melatonin. Oh, and maybe talk to your doctor about the stress and trouble sleeping.
Sounds like you need to take a break. Wait until the weekend (or whenever you can afford to lose some sleep) and then just quit cold turkey for a few weeks at least.
You'll probably find that your usual stuff (or even nothing but your imagination) will get you off just fine after that. Maybe don't it it so hard from there on out...
Should I accept a job offer if I am leaving the area in 3 weeks?
Why?
>>17364255
I would accept it for money and something to occupy my time.
I'm debating on accepting it because it feels douchey to be trained and then almost immediately leave the area, it also could potentially burn a bridge later on if it is douchy as I know a couple people that work there.
You'll look uncommitted to future employers if you have a job that you quit almost immediately. If you don't need the cash look up jobs in the area your moving to or treat this as a 3 week break.
Help me /adv/. I am sick and tired of my daily lifestyle of getting up, work, and going back to sleep. I am working towards various skills and goals and trying to get myself into college, but my lack of competence with these skills only makes me feel endlessly frustrated.
I've been seeing help for about 5 years now, and no-one I've seen so far has been helpful, and/or attempts to stifle my emotions by invalidating me. I have fully subscribed to all of their treatments, yet none of them work.
Meds only make me feel dull and lifeless, paranoid, and sometimes...

I was once in a very deep depression , and the one thing that got me out of it was finding a hobby. My particular hobby was music. I found a bass for cheap and I downloaded pdfs of music theory books from the internet and I made a point out of learning something.
After that I seemed to blossom in terms of hobbies and I had something to look forward to at the end of the day. It took a lot of patience and will to start the hobbies, but it really did pay out in the end.
After that it was fairly straightforward to find people who shared hobbies with me, now that I...

Thank you. I am into drawing, playing the piano, and writing. These things used to usually calm me down, but i'm at the age and time where you need to start looking at your skill level for higher education.
Ever since, I have ceased to grow at a positive rate. All I do nowadays is frustrate myself over how inconsistent my gains have been in these art forms. Sometime I could be doing just fine, attempt a sketch, and manage to throw myself into a depression that lasts the rest of the night.
It's...

>fustrate myself over how inconsistent my gains have been
I know that feeling. It's important to take a step back and look how you can improve. As with everything in life, taking a step back and observing it from a non-emotional point of view is a great tool for moving forward.
For art, I might suggest some of the Loomis books if you are at that beginner-moderate skill level. If you are better than that or just need some critique, visit /ic/ and post in one of the beginner...

So, I normally stay away from dating, but I bumped into this girl at the park playing Pokemon GO. And we started talking a lot, ended up hangout out until 3am. Next day I ask her on a date. As we're talking she mentions how she only goes to a coffee shop becuase of the cute barista, now I don't compare about looks or whatever, but then she posted him on social media, today. What should I do?
It's my first time really going after a girl, becuase I'm just fine on my own, but this girl caught my attention.
Advice? What would you do?

>Next day I ask her on a date.
What'd she say to this? If it was anything other than an unequivocal yes, then she's not interested
Oh she was completely for the date, we met 3 days ago, and had the date yesterday, and that was when she mentioned the coffee shop thing
She mentioned the coffee shop during the date^
