Two questions
Firstly, as a single 18 year old with no dependents that lives with their parents, how much should I expect to be taxed off my paychecks at 8.75/hr and 30hr/week?
Secondly, any headphone recommendations? Looking for durable, tight, comfortable ones with at least decent quality, more looking for immersive sound for gaming and music. Mic not needed.
>>17267079
you won't pay shit in taxes, yes they'll take a small percentage but you'll get 95% of it back in april
>>17267079
What state do you live in? Also with this information go on Google and look up your state's tax info
Sennheiser headphones are pretty good look into them or if you have the money astros

Would 250 be a good estimate for a 30 hr week? I live in FL
Help /adv/.
Yesterday I got my first gf ever (only a week before my 20th birthday).
My dad knows that I've been going out with this girl but not that we're a couple. The thing is that we're a very rich family and her family is below middle class. After I told my dad where she lived he got instantly unsettled and told me to go out with people who are more on our social level.
If we're going to stay a couple, she eventually needs to meet my parents, right? How do I tell them I AM actually a couple with her? How do I tell her my parents might despise her because of her economic state? I can't hide her forever from my family and friends.
I totally understand my dad's preoccupation, but she's my first gf ever, so I can't think objectively.
I haven't told anyone about my relationship, so that's why I'm asking you /adv/. I'm so glad I finally have someone who likes me this way, I don't want it to let go just yet. Please help.
If it helps at all, she liked me for almost a year but I only reacted recently. She also never knew my economic state until a week ago.
>>17266907
If you actually liked and cared for this girl, this would not be a problem for you.
There is no need to worry, or hide it, who gives a SHIT what your parents or friends think. Tell her about this, tell her about how your parents feel but don't make it seem like she has to make any sort of choice because of it. If you like her enough, let her know how you feel about it and what you're going to do about it.
This isn't West Side Story. Unless you're parents are starting to directly impact how your life functions because of it, screw them.
>>17266907
She has been your girlfriend for one day. Just take some time and ENJOY IT before you start spoiling it with stuff like this. Your parents should not be part of your relationship at this point. Don't stress about it. Just focus on her, get to know each other, see how it's like with just the two of you. You know, give it some time to make sure it's real and worth fighting for, BEFORE you start a fight over it

Why do interracial relationships bother me so much? It pisses me off to see people not sticking to their own race. I feel wrong for feeling this way but I have no control over it. Does anyone else feel this way? How do you deal with it?
>>17266755
you are just jelly, I feel the same I noticed that's why I care. It's like each male has his own race to mate with, which is fair, it's their women. When I see an interracial couple that means they are dipping into my pool, which isn't fair, however I AM free to dip in their pool cause fuck them
Just mind your own business. It's fine if you feel that way as long as you're not using it as an excuse to pester people
>>17266755
It never used to bother me, but I used to not "get" it. Like I couldn't understand being attracted to someone of a different race. But then I went to high school and left my sheltered upbringing to actually get to know people of different races, and then I understood that people aren't attracted to a race, they're attracted to a person.
Then I want to college and got yellow fever and learned that no, you can totally be attracted to a race. Now I have a Chinese wife.
Beware my tale, young racist anon! If you don't hold fast to your vague racially-motivated insecurities, you, too, might become a race traitor!
Seriously, though. Asian chicks are the fucking best.
Where do I find a sad girl to date?

How can I become a Twitch camwhore? Or more specifically, how can I become the best kind of camwhore? I want to have a lot of regular viewers, I don't intend to implement a tip option until I get to at least 40-50 people in every stream.
What makes you want to watch a broadcaster on twitch? What makes you stay? Do any of you regularly watch a female or females on twitch? Who are they?
I thought twitch was just for vidya???
>>17266438
It's just a word used to describe a certain type of female who streams on Twitch, someone like LegendaryLea.
Can I get money from girls as a guy camwhore?
If you used to have crushes on boys as a kid but you don't have any kind of interest in sex or any of that shit as an adult, does that mean you're still gay?
The more you're worried about it the gayer you are!

>Not interest in sex
>Worried about sexuality.
Fuck off with your non problems.

I just want to marry some girl and be done with it. I'm tired of things being weird.
Why don't any normal girls on tinder match with me? I swipe everyone... Only a few of the ugliest ones match... Please just fuck my shit up because I actually want to die and feel so alone. And I can't even fathom being so undesirable to women..
Girls answer please. I've tried this app for so long...
>>17265446
>Only a few of the ugliest ones match...
That's what's in your league. If you don't like this, you're going to have to step it up. Sorry, dude, but that's how it works.
>>17265446
piece of advice bro.
Woman use dating sites/apps to feel desirable. That is pretty much it.
have u seen a girl using tinder? they swipe left in a matter of 3 seconds. your profile pics are EVERYTHING
Well /adv/ I've put myself in a bit of a pickle.
I came home from work today and my gf thought she would play a little prank on me.
>open my front door
>immediately confronted by someone in a ski mask pointing my shotgun at me
>have time to process "gun"
>grab barrel immediately swing it to the side and clock what I thought was a guy in the face, putting a nice hole in my drywall
>guy starts screaming and crying
>wait a second I know that voice
>gf was under the mask, gun wasn't loaded, she thought it would be funny to give me a scare
>blow up on her for about a minute (I'm a former Marine so fucking around with weapons is a no go)
>shes a blubbering mess after I'm through too much happening too fast I guess
>grab my smokes and go for a walk, as I was so pissed off I couldn't see straight
>sitting on a park bench enjoying the summer now
What do I do gents? I didn't mean to hurt her, I just reacted. Plus what the fuck kind of prank is it to stick a man up in his own home?
>>17265444
lmao, your girl is an idiot.
I wouldn't say she deserved it but damn, she should've thought that one through a little bit more.
Just go back and apologize to her for hitting her. It's better to just keep the peace. Explain to her that her prank was a little out of line and that you really didn't mean to hurt her.
Maybe you'll look back and laugh on it later on. To an outsider, that's actually pretty funny.
>>17265444
My advice is to punch her again. Only this time, when she goes down, kick her in the face.
What a terrible "prank".
>>17265444
She had it coming. Even the threat of a weapon is considered offensive. That shit ain't funny.
Make sure she remembers that guns are not toys. Had it been someone else, she would be dead.
Do you ever fantasize about having friends? Sometimes I imagine that I have real friends that call me up and just want to hang out. But I've never found anyone that I understand, or that understands me. I think I'm just incapable of making friends unless its in a romantic relationship. I'm really fucking lonely.
I fantasize about having more girlfriends.
I don't feel any pleasure from being around other guys either. Never felt any kind of bond. My wife is my best friend.
I know that feel. I have always been at the fringe of social circles. Right now I have no friends, even after trying to make friends at work. I have come to terms with the fact that I may be autistic. This isn't a "oh Fuck making friends is too much effort ill just write this off" kind of deal. My half sisters who share my mother are normal well adjusted people but my full sis who shares my dad is insane. Psychotic. My father is also....not normal and has talked to a doctor any was diagnosed. Point is, now that I know what to look poi it for I can deal with being a social outcast better. I find comfort in being who I am and now have more confidence when I go out. I ended up buying a motorcycle and making.a trip to New york. Find your malfunction, fix it or deal with it and learn to progress from there. It would be easier if you can find someome like yourself you can talk to on how to cope. Give yourself the help you deserve, look into your family like I did for clues or talk to a professional.
>>17263951
This too, once I found what was broken in me, I ended up being more confident. I'm still socially distant but I managed to get a girlfriend. She's my best friend and I don't need anyone else.
Before you post a question, check here to see if it's already been answered
Keep your questions short for more answers.
And please no derailing arguments.
FAQ:
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
>Is my body part big/small enough?
>Am I short/tall enough?
>Would you date a virgin?
><random insecurity>
Some do, some don't. Preferences differ, but complexes are always a turn-off.
>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Get over it by practicing and exposing yourself to it, little by little, step by step. There is no single magical moment that will instantly change you forever. It takes hard work, time, and effort.
>I like someone. What do I do?
Ask them out.
>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out. This is something that cannot be explained. You either have learned to intuit this or you have not. If you have not, the only way to learn is experience--there are no shortcuts. So it comes back to: Just ask them out.
>Where do I meet girls/guys?
Anywhere outside. Or online. Don't complain that this isn't helpful; stupid questions deserve answers like this.
>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. Stop overthinking it.
Alternative answer: we don't fucking know.
>XYZ happened. Interpret this for me please
We're not in their head, we don't fucking know. No amount of your walls of text will fix that.
>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing
>Someone has made it abundantly clear they're no longer interested in me. Do I still have a chance?
No
>Where do I go on a first (or subsequent) date?
Pick one or more of the following: coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, ice cream, movies, zoo, aquarium, museum, art gallery, <activity in your city>
>Brandon, that one guy who keeps asking about cuddling in platonic friendships and fart guy
Fuck off
Are there any girls on here that have farted in a guys face?
>>17263615
hahaha mate that's fucking gross !
Girls : will you fancy me if i'm speaking with a french accent ? (it's a native accent ofc) assuming that i'm a nice guy, ofc
girls why are you such a waste of time.
Would drunkenly confessing to having feelings for a female friend be likely to invoke a positive response?
I don't want to ruin the friendship between us, and the main way I can think of to not do such is, when we're at the same party, pretend to get wasted which I'm not known to do.
Then let all of what I feel go, and then push cuddles onto her and 'pass out' soon after.
Next day I pretend I don't remember what happened, and I think she won't want to hurt me, so will either act on what I said so that I'm surprised, or she'll never bring it up again.
Third thing is she tells me what happened, I act embarrassed, and we actually talk it out.
All three of these outcomes are positive to me.
I don't know if she has feelings for me, I suspect no, but I need to come forward with them eventually and this way I think will minimize the likelihood of fucking with our friendship.
Good idea or no?
Thanks.
>inb4 immoral
a: Atheist, I don't have morals, I have ethics.
b: I don't care that it's unethical, I'd do anything and say anything for a partnership at this point as long as it doesn't legitimately harm anyone.
>>17262255
>female friend
I cringed.
>>17262255
Would it ruin a friendship if you told a male friend you had the feels for him?
>>17262255
>Atheist, I don't have morals, I have ethics.
These words don't mean what you think they mean.
>Would drunkenly confessing to having feelings for a female friend be likely to invoke a positive response?
NOPE
If you absolutely need to get something off your chest, getting hammered first is absolutely not going to go as well as you think it will.
Also, you say you're going to PRETEND to get wasted? That is, somehow, an even worse idea. I promise you that you are not going to be convincing.
Also, the outcome which you have not anticipated (and which, by the way, is by far the most likely), is that she decides she does't want to continue to be friends with someone who pulls her aside and makes a bullshit grandiose confession of love when he gets drunk.
Don't worry, you won't be a teenager forever. Eventually you'll figure out how to interact with other people in non-idiotic ways.
Need some advice. Currently been dating with a girl for over a month now. Things seemed they were going well, despite the lack of intimacy...
She spent the night at my place a couple of times and I had tried initating in sex, but she told me she didn't want to "yet. At first I thought it was cool, but then I confronted her about it and she got upset. She told me she gives me "permission" to sleep with someone else and she "doesn't" want me to wait... Obviously, I told her I don't want to do something like that and I will wait for her...
But, now she seems very distant and never contacts me anymore. Things have been strange for the past two weeks now...
Is it over, /adv/?
Well let's some a summery shall we?
>only dated a month
>barely know each other
>doesn't care if you sleep with other people
>holds herself to a standard for accepting sex
>sees that despite saying you will wait, have already been pressing on her to have sex
>is no longer talking to you
What do you think OP?
I call emotional fluffer.
> let's just suppose that she didn't have a rape in her life or anything that made her hate sex, let's keep it common
I'm not going to say that you brought it on yourself, but she seemed to wanted much more of this relationship than you. You wanted a sexual partner, I don't know about her but she wanted more than that and she's avoiding doing it because she doesn't want to do it and then only realize that she's with the wrong guy to be with.
It was kinda of a test, you failed. You showed that you want sex (aka your own need) before her own desires (not wanting to have sex) whatever motives she has.
You could still apologize and keep back on track, but if you couldn't understand that there will be a lot more that you won't understand you just don't converge to the same motives.
Next weekend I'm getting laid, it will be my first and I would like some pointers as to make sure it doesn't go horribly wrong.
Also as a guy what is the okay length for your pubes, i trim that shit but am I better off shaving it just so I don't run the risk of her being put off by them.
>>17268225
Trim, don't shave, stubble might be irritating. Depending on your confidence you will likely not be pleased with your first time, but in all likelihood 30 minutes afterwards you will be going again. Best tip is to just enjoy yourself, ask for pointers, be vocal, switch up positions.
>>17268225
git er done OP
>>17268235
Yeah I will be spending the weekend with her so I doubt we'll only be having sex once it's just the first time id rather make a good if not decent impression.
So Ive been with this girl which was my first.We moved in together and been together for almost a ysr and a half.Then a few months ago she started losing feelings for me from small mistakes I did and wanted to break up but I told to give it a few more months and see if we can work it out and if not we break up.She accepted but whatever I did I or said couldnt reach her anymore she just stsrted reading or working or do whatever to spend less time with me.Then a month ago she started talking to a old friend of hers more and more to the point where she wanted to visit him for a few days in another city and promised she wont cheat.Then comes back and she mustered the coursge to end it with me and told me nothing happened.Next day I checked her fb for the first time and found out she did cheated that week and now has feelings for that guy.Why shouldnt I murder them both?Even if we were broken up how could she do that to me?Whatever bad thing I say to her she says shes a slut by my standards byt not by hers
sounds like you're a spoiled, clingy baby and that the only thing she did wrong was tolerate you.
When a chick loses feelings or attraction for you...it's over. Just learn from this and accept it next time.
No. Your ex made you hate your ex. Stop placing blame in the wrong places and grow up.
