Live in iowa, started with 2 bumps is super itchy and hasn't gone away for a week now
Stop scratching them.
Some people have stronger allergic reactions to bug bites and poison ivy.
I think this warrants a trip to the doctor to find out.

Are there any sites like 4chan that provides anonymity and lulz that aren't so mean to and about women?
I really like it here but get my feels hurt when I see the way girls are treated and spoken about.
For the record, I usually always hide my female power level to avoid such disparaging comments.
I've been here for 7 years and I'm over it now.
I've seen reddit and don't like it.
tumblr
If your feelings get hurt here, you've not really assimilated.
Then again, /adv/ is full of histrionic and overly-emotional people of both genders, so I suppose this is the best place for you.
>>17292607
Maybe tumblr? It's basically the opposing cancer to the worst of 4chan's cancer, and not all of it is horrible (I think.)
I'm still saging this b8 and hope others do so, as well.
So month ago my sinuses became dry and I had occasional fever, I went to doctor she gave me amoxicilin antiboitic, I haven't used it because I thought its not bacterial and I just went about with my life.
I already had these white spots on back of throat but nothing was happening.
Now month later, I started to breath heavier and have feeling like something is stuck in my throat, I also have this whitish mucus sliding in my throat.
I don't have fever, or anything, but recently I my spleen started hurting and I can't do physical work because I get tired...

I don't know what you were expecting.
>>17292574
Problem is they prescribe antibiotic too often, I was doing fine for a month without symptoms.
Why you think taking antibiotics always help?
I'd like to explain the situation I'm in. Any advice on it would be appreciated.
I'm friends with a girl who I am not really attracted to. She did like me at one point, but I rejected her. Despite this, we did get pretty close. Anyway, now we are just friends. We both kind of keep to ourselves, as in we don't have any other friends much. Just acquaintances.
The problem is I just want to be alone. I don't like to go outside, I don't often talk to people. She makes me feel bad whenever I don't talk to her and, now that we are on summer vacation, she's bothering me to hang out and I just don't want to. It just makes me feel like a waste of a human being knowing she's waiting for a response or for me to do SOMETHING for once. I wish she'd just let me be my pathetic self and be alone.
What would you do in my situation? Should I try to change myself for my own sake? I don't think I'll ever really enjoy being out with people. I've tried to like it, I really did. But it's more more comfortable and safe to be alone. I'm always stressed when I'm out and about.
Thanks for any advice.
Trying to change yourself is the solution but the difficult that carries you cannot even imagine.
Welcome to Hell im stuck trying to change my negative thoughts and insecurityies for about 3 months (well in fact i was like 15 years without noticing what was happening)
Advice from a guy who's been there:
#1. Stop eating fucking garbage (sugar, soy, wheat, other toxic bullshit)
#2. Stop habitually masturbating. Its NOT helping your social anxiety and your lack of motivation.
#3. Engage in light training every day and work your way up (push-ups, squats, etc.), they help a lot.
#4. Understand that one day you are going to fucking die. Knowing this, REFUSE to die an unlived life.
Tell her what's good, let her know how you feel.
Not trying to be a dick because BELIEVE ME I've been where you are.

You should try to hang out more, as isolating yourself socially just begets more social isolation.
When you're at your worst though, just explain to her what's wrong. You're doing bad mentally this week and need some alone time. Easy as that.
Can anyone help me understand why women are so into guys with beards or tattoos, when a lot of times (not always, but a lot), these kinds of guys are precluded from getting good jobs in a corporate environment?
I'm a pretty good looking guy, and I have nothing against tattoos or beards, but I've never wanted to risk my career by developing the look, because I know it won't fly in most environments. I look pretty straight laced, kinda Abercrombie & Fitch-ish.
If there's no way to explain it, how do I maximize my clean-shaven, tattooless look...

It's not all about finance, not everyone aspires to run the 'rat race' or chase capitalism
I wouldn't get tattoos just to fuck more chicks, it's easy enough if you're good looking and dedicate some time to it
>>17292454
Tattoos merely reinforce the whole "bad boy" image. Beards, however, are a sign of masculinity. Personally, I look way better with a beard, and it hasn't affected my employment prospects negatively. In fact, I find that I do better on interviews and have higher closing ratios with a neatly-trimmed beard.
> these kinds of guys are precluded from getting good jobs in a corporate environment
this is past. I work in an awesome IT company with excellent payment and huge chances of growth, and there's tons of tatted dudes, one of them with tons of neck tattoos too.
It's mostly the fact that these people aren't afraid of what society thinks of them, unlike you.

I don't understand anything your parents do
What would have made a NEET like you want fake tits anyway?

Literally the only time I can reach my belly when ejaculating is after going at it - hard - for at least an hour, if not 2. The rest of the time, it dribbles. Is there something wrong with me?
>>17292347
no. everyone cums different. some people are shooters, some arent, most vary depending on build up.
if oyu masturbate daily its not going to come out as ferociously
>>17292379
I don't usually go at it more than a few days a week. Doesn't change a thing. I've heard that kegeling helps, but has anyone ever gone from not shooting to shooting regularly?
I guess everyone cums different. For me, if I don't go for a couple days, it shoots like a water pistol. If I go daily, it just plops out.
I'm new to 4chan, and have ?'s
1) How do I keep track of the threads I make or comment on?
2) how do I reply to specific people in threads?
4chan doesn't have a thread tracker function
>>17292341
If you are on mobile you can bookmark the threads you want to visit later. Not sure on pc
So if I made a thread that people replied to, how would I find it again? I'm literally refreshing this one
Why is dating so fucked on the USA? Women expect men to do all the driving and pay for the date. It seems like every woman aged 20-29 is like this. Why is that?
A date to a dinner and movie which is standard probably costs 50-70 dollars if the dude pays for everything.
i heard women say shit like, "it's a mans job to pay so the woman feels feminine." WHAT?!
What am I missing? Why is dating so ducked? Why do women not want to pay for dates? Imagine if the role was reversed. Not only that, but imagine if the girl ends up not liking you but...

You're the one asking her out, and trying to get her favor. You're showing you're interested, she's giving you a chance. Pay.
Or if she asks you out, she should probably pay.
You can always ask if she'd like to split, but she's probably going to say no, so there's your choice.
If you want to play the game, understand the rules, or just don't play. No one is forcing you.
>>17292257
If you are friends with a girl first it is a lot easier. Not friendzoned, but she is part of your social circle.
Dating randoms never works well. And the more you push for a relationship the more predatory women are gonna jump on you.
>>17292257
Dating in America right now is fucked because of hookup culture.
So what goes on in a Job interview for a shit-tier entry level position? What should I expect?
>>17292236
They ensure you're not a complete retard/criminal/spastic, and then you get the job.
Best of luck.
Talk strictly about your work related shit. When they ask you to tell them something about you they don't mean anime, gaming, or sport. They mean shit like 2+ years in retail.
General sizing up to see if physically capable and has basic intelligence.
General personality screening.
General hygiene screening.
pretty much just checking to see if you fit in and are not retarded.
>>17292253
This.
Also:
Take these steps and you will will get the job 99.9% of the time, no joke:
1. Show up dressed to kill
2. Have folder with you that has copies of both resume and application in it.
3. When they ask you questions, look them dead in the eye and answer as briefly as possible.
4. At the end of the interview, ask no less that three questions and write that shit down.
5. Shake their hand and walk the fuck out of there like a boss.
6. IMMEDIATELY when you get home, send a Thank...

Where do you find needy/loner girls? I want a really clingy female friend or girlfriend who I'm super important to, like I'm the first person they message or hang out with and they don't do shit like ignoring you or not bothering to return calls or messages or lying.
How do you identify these kind of girls also?
>>17292217
try the fattest most repulsive ones you can
You'll notice them with their 3DS and pokemon/zelda merchandise
Bonus round : find one that isn't whore

Met my wife on deviant art. She is Bi and liked my borderline porn sketches.
Met up at a con, she was super shy virgin. 5/10 but with DD tits. Dated. Similar interest kept us rolling well. 8 years late she is now an 8/10(after 2 kids!) super devoted to a fault wife.
If i can offer any advise guys. 8/10-10/10 know they are hot and will use it. Pick up a shy girl you can be a bro with and she will go to the moon and back to be hot and sexy for you.

some of us dont want to fuck double quarter pounders with brain problems

i laughed out loud
I feel like whatever I do will go to waste
I keep getting these thoughts about death and loss and it's all just fucking depressing, just storms my brain at random times
what can I do?
I just feel like whatever I do is useless and my future plans would bring nothing of worth
please debunk this
>>17292184
Sounds like a textbook case of depression. Off to a doctor you go
>>17292192
wow, seriously?
you don't think it's some kind of teenage existential crisis or something
>>17292184
I know that feel I know that fucking feel every time in my entire life and it is increasing as the time passes.
In my case it ultimately develop strong anxiety I cannot even eat or drink sometimes nor do anything is like something is crushing my throat
IT is even harder when you have a lot of dreams and things you want to do but that fucking feel and insecurity dont let you go
So I moved from Hawaii to Georgia because of reasons. I cannot get a job to save my life. I have been applying. Thing is most places advertised online are for jobs that require experience which I lack. I have until October to move out. No family can help.
I have HS diploma no college experience. I know once I get some dough I can get a cell phone and a car then be a lyft/uber driver to afford a place to live in this state. Even have a future roommate to split rent with. So it's looking up but I cannot get my foot in the door anywhere.
Currently no money,...

Apply everywhere.Want Ads are wishlists, descriptions of the ideal candidate. But if that exact person doesn't come along, they#ll choose from whoever does.
If you are at all like what they might settle for, apply. Cover your weak points if you can ("Though I have not worked in the field I got As in all the relevant university courses, and can very quickly learn your company way of doing things") Or just ignore the gaps. Present yourself as if who you are is exactly what they're looking for.
>>17292210
Thanks. I've been applying. I'll follow your advice. I know how to do interviews. Normally I can walk up to a help wanted sign and be hired in the same day. Just no luck here.
>>17292162
Usually there are temp agencies that you can work for. factory work for ass pay and brutal hours, but it kept my boat afloat during crisis before.
I'm turning 20 this year; would it be wrong to lose my virginity to a guy who isn't my boyfriend/who I'm not in love with?
Yes. Stop freaking out about being a virgin.
Just get it over and done with.
If you haven't lost it by now then you must be fat/ugly.
>>17292152
No, it's not wrong. Just don't give your partner the wrong idea of a relationship.
I'm usually the peacemaker of my group - or at least capable of turning situations that could cause a scene into awkward tension, at the least.
Today is one of my best friends' 30th birthday, it's a surprise thrown by her parents at their very expensive home. Her sister ended up inviting this guy Mike, who used to be one of our best friends, but we've (especially me) had a complete falling out with him until recently. Now he and I are "cool," and can have a civil conversation, but yeah. He's dealing with alcohol issues and the past...

Well, Mike already doesn't like you. Just contact him and tell him that you'd rather not have him there.
>>17292117
Give up on peacemaking and just let the world burn. When it's over, regroup with your closer friends and tell them about your concerns.
If you let your suspicions out early or to the wrong people, you will likely be blamed even if right. It's easier to wait until it's over without getting involved, claim foreknowledge, and hope they believe you.
Basically, if they would cause a scene, pointing it out or warning them beforehand will not stop it, but they will blame you for getting them...

I didn't extend the invite. It's not mine to rescind, it's her sister's. We talked about uninviting him once I told her what was going on, but realized that it may end up to be more trouble than it's worth now that he knows about it.
>>17292138
My friends don't really need to be regrouped with, we all kind of feel the same way. We don't want to abandon him at a rough time in his life, but bringing him to a really...
