I don't think rain should splash on his hair that way. Nice meme btw, OP.
(Seriously though, thanks for the motivation.)
Spoilers: take zinc.

you where just more energetic and therefore felt more confident lol. you can still fap and feel that way.
Hi /adv/. I am going through extensive planning for a Kickstarter I'm going to pitch soon. I just wanted your input. I am going to spend 30 days in a blank room with only a mattress and toilet/shower. I will have no sense of time. There will be nothing to entertain me. The room will be locked from the outside. There will be a single camera, the whole month will be live streamed to a site. I will have absolutely no contact with anyone from the outside. Someone will slide me a tray of food twice a day. The door will be locked from the outside. I will not be allowed to leave...

I wouldn't be interested, but seeing as Big Brother was huge around a decade ago, there's definitely a market for it.
However, you need to think about how to bring viewers to this. You probably want to have someone to do some edits now and then to create some sort of daily hilights, so that the more impatient vewers won't have to be sitting through an entire day of nothing to catch one minute of worthwhile entertainment.
>>17170077
Good point, I hadn't thought of that. I'm mostly worried about it not being funded, so ideas like this are great. Can I ask your opinion of who I should be advertising to? Also, I have my numbers set for how much I'm asking, but just for a sense of realism how much would you expect for a project like this to be asking for?
What exactly is your goal with this project?
I would probably not watch it as it would be as unstimulating for me as for you sitting in that room. Perhaps I'd tune in every now and then for a few minutes to see what you're up to.
30 days without stimulation is an awful long time, I don't think you really understand what you're up for. Sometimes when I miss my bus I have to wait 3 hours until the next one comes and I swear to God those 3 hours are hell even with my phone that has some music and a few games on it.
What if the guy sliding...

How strange is it to have an online friend of the opposite sex and not to be in an LDR? From what I've heard, this is not very common (i.e. either online friends of the same sex or two people in an LDR)
I think it's pretty normal. My best online friend is male and our relationship is basically brother/sister. Same goes for my other female friends.
Not every opposite sex online friend has the intention of being in a LDR.
>>17170025
I can't see why it wouldn't be common. I see a lot of questions about "is it ok to have an opposite-sex friend" on here. is everybody expecting everybody else to exclude half of the species except for sex and dating or something? I've always had both girl and guy friends online. less pressure, more ability to be yourself without worrying about IRL shit getting in the way. I mean yeah there might be orbiters, but I didn't really get the sense from most of my opposite-sex friends that...

Ah interesting. It's just that I recently searched for videos related to meeting online friends irl and almost all of them have a teenage girl meeting another girl (they meet because of common interests such as Instagram, One Direction, etc).
Just curious did you guys meet irl? I'm a girl and I feel the same way as you about how it's like a brother/sister relationship. You sure he doesn't like you back?
Don't almost all LDRs fail? Do LDRs such as >>17168440 even work?
No one pursues a long distance relationship.
Let's say you're out traveling, you've picked a certain destination because it appeals to you. While on your journey you meet another traveler, chances are that this person is very similar to you because you're both probably out seeking the same thing. You have a great time together but eventually you have to go separate ways and that's when you realize that you're in love, you start missing the shit out of this person and in a desperate attempt to feel better and to fool yourself you both enter...

They can work, but it's hard. Most posters on /adv/ confuse an internet crush with an actual LDR though.
>>17170001
I met a really cool girl from Australia while on an exchange, I normally wouldn't even jump on the LDR train but I've never connected on that with such a personal level. Was very sad to see here go, but I'm going to visit her and some firends over xmas so we will see what sup.
so ive always been a pretty personable and sociable person, however i have a problem. i always have to do the organising of shit, or i dont get included. now people will tell me how funny/interesting they think i am, and how much fun or whatever they had at what i organised, but heres the thing, if i dont organise it they will still organise stuff but not invite me, even if its that same fucking stuff i introduced to them. this happened to my high school friends who eventually phased me out of their group during uni as i got sick of always having to do the work, and recently...

im in a similar situation. in my friends group i have to organize 95% of things, i always have to be the one to come up with ideas, ask people, remind people, come up with a time and day etc. however, on one offs my friends will organize something and invite me although it is incredibly rare for one of them to organize something, and when they do, its normally because they are getting something out of it.
im not exactly sure why my friends never really organize things. i think it might be because they put...

>>17170020
cont. i also should say, the reason they always invite me to things is because in the past people in the group have done shit with a few people with out inviting everyone else and i have had words with them about it.
>>17169918
so when you asked your friends why you seem to get excluded from any get-together that you don't organise yourself, they said...?
I feel like I'm going to lose it. Not in a "I'm going to kill myself" kind of way, but, I feel like I'm going to crack from loneliness again.
How do you cope with literally being a stranger in all of your personal relationships? Like, I want so badly to be better friends with the people I live with, but I feel like such a bother to them, an intruder even. And when I do muster up the courage to ask them to hang out, they're busy, but more than willing to do things when I'm not around. I don't know how much more of this I can take.
Are you me OP?
Do your friends go out and do stuff? Just ask to go with them. Or just say 'hey wanna go to the zoo/movies/etc with me' or play videogames with them or something.
>>17169705
Hello,
My gf and I broke up because she couldn't give me what I want :
- Love
- Respect
- Sex
- She turned out every proposition i made to go out, even to a restaurant.
So all of that led to fights after fights and she felt unhappy as well. Right now, we both love each other, except she's the one trying to hurt me.
Also, she left her boyfriend for me and we have been on a relashionship from 14 December 2015 (Gave her my first time that night) to I'd say, 14 March 2016.
Right now she is :
- Going out on...

Get that bitch out of your life.
>>17169677
You dont. Simple as that. Wipe the slate clean and move on. Go out and live life. She's not waiting around for you. Don't hold onto false hope and wither away in the meantime
>>17169679
This.
Wtf OP, why do you want a woman in your life who causes you so much pain?
Why doesn't the 4chan extension work on this board? Inline quotes and quick reply to be specific but I'm sure there is more.
Turn off adblock.
>>17169993
Don't listen to him. Never turn addblock off when someone on 4chan says to.
Delete system 32, that will fix everyhting.
>>17169993
This doesn't make any sense as the extension works on every other board I browse regularly. But it did fix it.
I have a girlfriend that I like. Unfortunately I am horny all the time and her sex drive is not the greatest. I maybe get a blowjob once a week.
How wrong would it be if I text or sext random girls just to get off when my girlfriend is not in the mood? Is this one of those things where if she doesn't know what I'm doing it won't hurt her?
I would never cross the boundary of anything physical, but I feel so blueballed and porn doesn't do shit for me. Flirting always has worked better for me.
Okay I'll tell you a story.
I've been with my gf for four years. We recently decided we both need some space. We've been talking again as of today.
A few months ago her sex drive started diminishing because she was stressed with school, her job (which she quit) and is now looking for a new job.
I have a very high sex drive. Our sex is great, but when she's stressed the sex is mediocre or we just hang out and do other shit.
I started a tinder and an okcupid account just to flirt with random girls to boost my ego.
I've...

>>17169652
I don't think I am addicted. I just think my sex drive is really high. I'd prefer to get off at least once a day.
I haven't been watching porn as much as I have in the past. It doesn't work for me at all. Usually what I do when I jack off is just think of different women. (Sometimes being my gf, and sometimes other girls)
>>17169609
So you get a blowjob once a week.
And what does she get?
Maybe if you thought more in terms of giving her pleasure, she might have more motivation to have good-for-both sex more often.
So ever since I was about 12, ive been deeply in love with a certain game character. I found him to be very sweet and ever since them I had formed a deep relationship with him in my mind.
I am not a weaboo btw its one of the only games I have feels for.
Well, as I got older, I formed online relationships and have gotten hurt every time. It seems that all men are liars and cheaters.
But not Axel..
I have a plushie of him and when I think of him, I actually beleive that he will suddenly appear in front of me and we would both start crying because of all the feelings...

If it helps, he wouldn't like you either unless you were a 12-year-old boy.
>>17169574
All men lie.
Not all men are cheaters.
Where do you live? Are you a female.
>>17169623

So im currently in a town about 200 miles from my place of residence. I have 12 miles of gas in my cars tank and 6% in my phone. My phone has a car charger. I lost my wallet.
I do have my debit card number memorized, for what it's worth.
Plz save me
>>17169535
Why not call someone who actually knows you with the phone you can charge in your car? They can wire you money (although perhaps you need ID to pick it up?) Or come get you.
If you're actually in SF, there is a Western Union office approximately one mile due east of where that picture was taken, on Marina Blvd at Beach.
>>17169535
Cops will give you a few gallons of gas so you can get to an appropriate location or even back home.
Look up the local sheriffs office number and explain what's going on.
if you're in SF (and by the palace of fine arts) go up to Columbus street and panhandle. it's Saturday night, people are drunk and coming out of bars, you look clean. it'd take like 30 minutes to get 30 to throw into your tank.
Long story short, I've been living with my GF for about 2-3 years now in this apartment. I want her to leave.
She is not on the lease, and her name is on no bills. She pays me 1/3 of the rent (I pay 2/3 and bills).
She is a lunatic. This will not go smoothly. I was wondering what resources I have for this sort of thing and how can I carry it out? "Talking it out" has been exhausted. I want her gone.
I'm a good guy I really am. Her drug and drinking problems are creating a great pain in my life.
Does anyone have experience with a situation...

You could move all your stuff into storage, then move yourself into a studio apt across town.
>>17169417
Legally she's a resident. You're skirting a shit storm of legal problems with her not being on the lease. The rental company can force you out and also force you to continue to pay until the unit is rented.
If you can do it on the quiet, yes try to get her to leave peacefully. If she won't , you're going to have to serve her papers. She will have 30 days to respond to them and you will have to go to a magistrate or the court. In the meantime, you can't throw her stuff out, change...

great idea
>>17169448
great advice. I have to give a 2 month notice before the lease ends. It's a smaller building so the landlord will likely need to show it and stuff so that won't be good.
This is such a fucking mess
How can I feel less "triggered" when reading celeb news? Like some celebs are better than you in EVERY aspect (i. e. way hotter than you, way smarter than you, way richer than you - pic related) and you can't help thinking that the world is so unfair.
I know that most celebs are kind of dumb but then sometimes you have THAT celeb who is as perfect as pic related - hot, rich, smart, and successful.
I tend to avoid reading celeb news but my kom likes to tell me celeb news (eg. TV shows, ads, relationships, etc) "it is important to stay cool"...

Better? Or luckier?
It's actually worse when you consider that some people are just a whole lot luckier than you.
>>17169424
You can say she is super lucky but I still think she is better than me in many aspects even if she wasn't famous.
Hun, you can't compare yourself to other people and complain that you aren't better. You're placing yourself in a contest without even trying for first place. Are you doing everything in your power to get the gold? Do you think Emma watches celeb news and gets triggered?
How do I stop thinking about other girls?
I'm married but I can't help but looking at girls on the street/hooker sites now and then. I married my wife because she's a good person and helped me a lot in life but my dick just seems to respond to makeup, tits and ass even if they're dumb bimbos
Sex without exactly what I want just makes me feel a bit depressed
>>17169319
Ask your wife to dress up like a dumb bimbo. I don't know how long you guys have been hitched, but you ought to be able to be open with one another about what you like in bed. Took me years to tell my 36D wife that I wanted to fuck her tits. Seemed too porny and crass. Turns out she likes it. Took her years to tell me to stick it in her butt. We're both embarrassed to have waited and try not to do stuff like that anymore.
And/or just be like nearly all men, and think about other women sometimes....

Thinking is fine. Doing something is not. Your dick doesn't rule your mind. Learn some damn discipline, you fucking manchild.
>>17169398
Just wife's body type doesn't do it for me, though it's probably mutual. I married the first girl I ever dated and similar for her.
Not sure how less than 9/10s feel motivated to have sex with each other... it just feels like being friends
Another $20 spent on Powerball tickets with no return. I have been addicted to lottery gambling for over 4 years, and I still don't see a better alternative to achieving financial liberation thats actually feasible. Life doesn't seem worth living if you have to work to survive, and your wealth is limited to what the man will pay you to be his slave, or what others will pay you for your services. My happy view of life was based on the assumption that I will eventually win the lottery, and meanwhile using up my inheritance money on comforts at an unsustainable rate while...

Dear OP.
Your problem is the addiction and the delusion you've wrapped yourself up in. No amount of perspective feelgood talking is going to persuade you to the contrary until you break out of that cycle.
>>17169286
I'm open for potentially helpful constructive criticism
> Life doesn't seem worth living if you have to work to survive
Maybe you should ask yourself why you hate work so much
If you had a decent attitude about it you could have a cushy high paying job
