I don't smoke but my friend got me a couple of cigars. How do I smoke these things?
>>17091334
Do you know how to smoke a cigarette? You leave the smoke in your mouth instead of into your lungs, otherwise have fun coughing. also, you probably want a cigar cutter so you can chop off the end and light it.

why ask these idiots go to youtube and watch someone do it
Im doing a bridging course because I got kicked out before graduating highschool, was homeless for a bit so there is a gap and I can't get into uni.
Problem is it's easy except by their standards I didn't use enough referencing so I'm failing. Teacher keeps complimentig me on my 'big brain' cept I might not get a place.
From what I can tell it's one of those courses where girls get A's and guys get real grades.
How can I go over the course markers head and prove I'm fit for university? I'd need solid A's...

What do you do when the love of your life doesn't love herself?
I made a thread about this before a long time ago. It was in regards to the same girl im in love with and now married. She never let me help with any of her problems. She would always tell me no when it came to me offering her gifts, or my efforts. She has gotten better at it, but there are still extreme moments.
My wife has chronic depression and anxiety attacks. You would think by now I could handle them, but each time they happen I am deeply hurt. I give my everything while I watch her cry and dry...

you need to tell her how much it pains you to have to endure her negativity. if you continue to put her first, you might have have the deal with this for the rest of your life. are you prepared for that?
>>17091291
do stuff like cook together or pick up one of her hobbies. listen to her tell stories about why shes miserable.
medication is completely wrong i'm glad u guys are against it
>>17091339
I am ready to deal with it forever if that's what it takes, but I'd rather her be happy so.
lets say you're almost 30 years old, and you've ended up in a job that makes just above minimum wage, and you're barely getting by while the job starts to burn you out. you are left with debt from school, and no one you know can help support you financially.
please list all the constructive things one could do to get out of this situation and to make a better quality of living. bonus if you're from canada, ontario and got out of a similar situation.
knocked up my girlfriend. her dad wanted to kill me. instead he helped get me a job in a factory where I'm making about $20/hr, in an apprenticeship program for industrial maintenance. in other words, find a better job.
>>17091287
I'm 31 and basically in the same situation. What I'm doing is biding my time until my parents die and then killing myself. Mileage may vary, etc. Or "kilometerage," since you're Canadian.
>>17091292
thanks; do you have any other plans beyond that? i'm doing this for my boyfriend; he's worked in a factory before and hated it for its mindlessness. he's the kind of guy who needs his brain challenged or have him moving, or he'll get incredibly depressed.

Is this bipolar disorder?
So my fwb quasi girlfriend is usually pretty level headed, we can go out to restaurants or museums and have fun. Lot's of sex often initiated by her.
Then sometimes she'll just come over to hang out and complain about work, looks likelikeh holding back tears, sleeps, and will sometimes have sex but then say she's not into it and makes me stop.
75% of the time she is a great person, fun to go out with and be with, but 25% of the time she's miserable, tired, unenthused and apathetic. I sometimes get upset with her...

No, it's just being a woman.
>>17091264
Sometimes she seems really into me but other she seems like she doesn't care about me at all. I like her most times but it's like Jackal and Hyde
the sex is great but she might not see you as husband material. her occasional apathy could be a result of the latter
So my ex girlfriend texted me about 2 hours ago. She dumped me for no reason just btw. But anyways the truth is that I still miss her dearly but idk how she feels about me. Anyways she texts me and asks how I'm doing. I ask how how she is doing and she said not so great. But the conversation finally ended but idk if I should say something else. Or if I should just leave it alone ca use I don't want her to think I'm trying to get her back, which I am, but girls are weird and they don't like that stuff. I also don't know if she's just trying to be...

Block her and move on, nothing good is going to come of this.
shes using you. if someone only tries contacting you and lets you know theyre not great, theyre using you for emotional comfort. They didnt give a shit about you this whole time but the second things aren't that great for them, they try to contact you again. That they didnt respond back probably means they realized what they were doing and put a stop to it or are trying to play some stupid game where you go out of your way to talk to them, when theyre the stupid ones that reached out to you in the first place. Its just attention seeking behavior.
She might want to...

Okay , that makes sense. So do I just completely ignore her? I don't want to just be friends. That shit pisses me off

I understand he was tired and all from his work day, but if that's the case why even come by? I basically just spent time with him for an hour. I told him if he felt he was going to be too tired or if he was going to fall asleep the moment he comes here to not come but he insisted.
Do I have a right to be annoyed? I wish he told me he didn't want to go out so I wouldn't have to fix myself up and if he wanted to just stay in the house, it would've been nice for him to stay awake more than an hour.
You sound like a bitch.
>>17091228
i know it's annoying, but he was probably trying to stick it out because he didn't want to disappoint you. the wine also might have helped to make him even sleepier.
try to appreciate his intentions, but also let him know that it's frustrating and that it would be better if he were just up front with you about how he feels.

I have an exam tomorrow morning that I didn't study for... and need a way to wiesel out of it. A guy in my class previously spoke of using medical notes from clinics as a method, so how do I go about doing this? I'll probably say I had an anxiety attack. I live In Canada (Medicare), but I'm not sure what the policies are here for medical notes. I'm willing to pay 20-30$ but nothing insane.
I'm actually not a lazy person. I have so many classes and personal stressful events happening, and I'd really just like time for a rewrite. If there's...

So what do people do after college? Specifically, what do people do after college if they've majored in ecology and evolutionary biology? Has anyone here done field/lab research jobs where they traveled? If so, were you paid? If you weren't paid, did they at least cover travel expenses as well as room and board?
also bumping because i'm in the same boat. i'm about to graduate with a degree in environmental science.

yesterday I made a thread about courting a girl because I'm not sure if we are feeling a relationship out or if I'm being friend zoned
when we last left off I asked her to lunch and she said she didn't feel like it. But then today she asked me to lunch and we went.
it was weird, it wasn't awkward or anything but we didn't talk the way we have been. She was pretty quiet like something was on her mind and I couldn't really think of anything to say,
I don't know how I'm supposed to interpret todays interaction, but it...

what would you call it?
we aren't dating but I would like to, so I'm trying to present myself in an attractive light to her

> present myself
> in an attractive light to her
Jesus Christ there is so much wrong with just these two choices of words here that I don't know where to start.
Don't use words like that, you sound like a nerd first of all.
Secondly, don't present yourself. Be a better version of yourself but stay true to who you are at your core. Quality people will want to be around people that are quality. Shitty inferior people...

Why do women have to be the way they
are...? I just got rejected by a girl that I was really into, and it seemed clear that she was into me too. We even went to prom together... She said she isn't looking for a relationship right now because of "recent heartbreak..." Maybe you could have told me that before we went to fucking prom together you bitch. Women annoy the shit out of me.
>>17091153
>We even went to prom together
My god, you went to PROM together! You were meant to be, this is truly a tragedy.
>Not looking for a relationship right now
Pretty sure most people dont. It just kinda happens. If anyone feeds you this line, its probably that they don't want to be held responsible for anything because they're a child and dont want to feel like its their fault for fucking things up.
>>17091162
or maybe they don't want to enter a relationship right after leaving a relationship (which she could still be hung up on) or before they get out of highschool,
which she should be about to do since surely our pathetic OP couldn't possibly be underage
My brother recently got a divorce and decided to move on he should start a new life in a new city and got a 2 bedroom apartment. I think he was hoping Id move in with him, which seemed like a good idea since my lease was up soon and my job allowed me to travel around. So I took him up on it and moved in.
So far its okay, but my biggest complaint is he does nothing. On his days off, he wants to hang out and do stuff together, which isnt bad, but sometimes im in the middle of work or my own activities and he will get in the way or interrupt me anyways despite talking to...

Yikes, I'm sorry OP. Is he depressed or has he always been this way? Just asking since my bro is probably somewhere on the autism spectrum and acts similarly. I actually went to therapy to cope because I hated getting so frustrated with him and having to bottle everything up.
If he's happy doing nothing all day, leave him be. If he's depressed and using you as a crutch, you have to tell him that you love him, but he can't rely on you being his security blanket.
It's tough. Honestly,...

Also, try working out of a library or coffee shop or something so he can't interrupt when you have to get stuff done. Otherwise, he'll just keep forgetting and interrupting you. (My family is like that...)
>>17091302
He wasn't always this way. He became more like this after his marriage. His wife and the kids apparently made him feel like he was a fat loser and an immature child. I always thought he was super cool and wise, but he somehow lost all of his confidence and just talks about how hes a fat loser and no one will ever be with him. I think hes over thinking it. I think his main problem was his wife was so controling, he lost all his friends, and now theyre all gone, hes not use to being alone.
I think he does...

Hey /adv/ how do i keep sex hot?
Stop watching porn and don't have sex unless it's going to be great sex.
When I have sex three days in a row with my gf, multiple times a day, we need to refresh by abstaining for a couple of days. having sex too many times too often leaves both partners drained and leads to mediocre sex.
blankets. Not hot but mildly warm.

Under rated post.
I am not meeting milestones in life. It really hurts that I now try to pursue them and realize I am further behind than I thought. Making friends is difficult because people give off a vibe they capped off making friends and at the same time other people really made me feel awful about myself once I shared my disposition.
I am fucking scared that shit might not change. I held off for so long and fear nothing may work.

I'll be your friend
What do you want to accomplish or fix? What milestones are you missing?
>>17091154
Well, I been in and out of college for a degree I don't know if it is worth it. I am very much a loner, never had friends. I see many family members passing me up in life even the ones younger than me.
What I want to do is finish school and make friends, have a actual life started before 30. I don't want to be dependent at home anymore.
>>17091105
Thanks.
