28 year old guy here.
I have a steady 9-5 job which I enjoy, am financially independent, work out regularly, see my friends every week, have been in 2 serious relationships, and have had sex with 5 different women.
Ask me anything.
>>26623964
Isn't Seth Rogen only 5'10? And I thought Zac Efron was 5'8?
Why is there such a noticeable disparity in their height difference?
>>26623964
How do you cope with deep seeded insecurities
>>26624067
Movie magic. Just like how they made gandalf look taller than frodo.
>>26624069
Alcohol, mostly. Scotch is my favorite.
>>26624094
>Alcohol, mostly. Scotch is my favorite.
Of course you do and of course it is and of course you would post this very typical thread about a painfully mediocre life full of dissatisfaction. You know why you only fucked 5 girls and you're 28? I'm sure you do.
With some luck I'll turn into you some day.
>>26623964
>Ask me anything.
Why you even come here you fucking normie?!
>>26624134
>You know why you only fucked 5 girls and you're 28?
I'm not going for a high score or anything. To me, sex is something meaningful. I am really not a fan of one-night stands and hooking up.
>>26624139
You guys post some hilariously pathetic shit sometimes. It makes me feel like my life is awesome compared to you guys.
>>26624200
How is it meaningful?
I'm honestly curious why you would think this.
>>26623964
how do you afford your own place? how do you break out of poverty?
i'm trapped in a shitty store job and cant afford to live without sharing an apartment which I hate
>>26624255
It's with girls that aren't just pump n' dumps.
Girls I know, or girls that I've formed a connection with.
Example. It's always hotter to see nudes of someone you know, rather than just some random chicks nudes on the net. There's just something a bit more exhilarating about it.
>>26624255
>How is it meaningful?
It's the most intimate physical act you can perform with someone.
To me, having sex is an expression of love. I mean it results in the creation of new life, even though we can control that in this day and age.
Yeah you can turn it into something you do just for pleasure, like smoking a cigarette or cracking your knuckles, but I like to think of it as something more.
>>26624288
>how do you afford your own place?
I share a 2-bedroom duplex with a roommate for a little over $350 a month plus utilities. Housing is not very expensive in the town I live in. I make about $20k a year which is not a lot, but I keep a pretty good handle on my budget and save when I can.
>how do you break out of poverty?
Rich parents who bail me out until I'm able to get back on my feet.
>>26623964
>I am a normalfag just like 99% of the population
>I am not remarkable in any way
>ask me anything because I think I'm interesting and matter
Uh.....
How's the weather? I guess?
>>26623964
what did you forget here?
>>26623964
Tell us what bothers you so much that you have to boost your self esteem here in this thread. Maybe I can help, anon, it seems you actually need to ask questions
>>26623964
Why would someone shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane?
(original post for you)
>>26624416
>How's the weather? I guess?
Pretty nice. It's 50 degrees and sunny which is a nice change from all the snow my region got last week. I would be out for a hike to enjoy the warm sunshine, but the melting snow has turned all the paths to muddy sludge.
>>26624405
>Rich parents who bail me out until I'm able to get back on my feet.
I hate that everyone has this advantage that I don't. Society isn't set up for people without parents and being in this position is crippling
Also you share a house and depend on a room mate and on your parents, you really aren't in any position to be answering questions on being successful and stable
>>26624449
Holy fuck I love that Kant and Cchopenhauer meme.
>>26624449
>Tell us what bothers you so much
tfw no gf
>>26624457
>Why would someone shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane?
Because he didn't fly so good
>>26624476
I mean Schopenhauer***********
>>26624540
Schopepenhauer
>>26624465
Yeah I am fortunate to have the advantage of wealthy parents. However, It's much more satisfying to me to live my life by my own means, so unless I'm at rock bottom again I'm not going to go to them asking for money.
I don't depend on my parents anymore. I used to, as I stated in OP. How does having a roommate take away from my success in any way? I live within my means and pay all of my financial obligations with what I earn on my own.
>>26623964
Are you happy?
Do you think, when you get old you are gonna question the point of your existence? Do you think you are gonna be satisfied with the answer?
>>26624741
>Are you happy?
On a scale of happiness from 1 to 10, I'm probably about a 6. I'm not unhappy, but things could be better.
>Do you think, when you get old you are gonna question the point of your existence?
I have already come to a satisfying answer regarding the point of existence.
>Do you think you are gonna be satisfied with the answer?
Yeah.
>>26623964
Mind leaving? Reee.
>>26625143
Hey even a wagecuck normie can be a robot sometimes XD
>>26624636
You will never understand what it means to hit rock bottom; you'll have a safety net. A lot of us don't have that saftey net. If we don't get paid, were not eating. You will never understand how scary that it; it's a reality many robots live everyday.
>>26624405
>$20k
>a lot of money
Where the fuck do you live?
>how do you break out of poverty
Get roomates, live in the ghetto, work shitty jobs, don't have a car, don't have latest iphone, save money, go back to school, get a skilled job with union.
>>26623964
29 year old guy here.
I have a career which I enjoy.
I am financially independent, live alone, hardly ever see my friends or family.
I will be a wizard next year.
This is far more likely to be a fate shared by someone on this board.
Ask me anything.
>>26626127
20k is a lot of money for a robot, if they had value then they would easily be making more
What's the highest weight you'd consider if girlfriending someone?
>>26626233
$20k is not a lot for anyone.
>if they had value then they would easily be making more
You really believe the world is a just place?
>28
>20k dollar a year job
Honestly, pretty bad.
Ideally you should be getting married soon and starting a family by 35.
What is your job?
>>26624636
>20k a year
>success
I'm 19 and I make 30k lmfao learn a skill or something you waste of space
>>26626330
If you're good at something you will get paid to do it
>>26626757
If you're good at something, can come into contact with a person willing to pay for you to do that thing, can then convince them you are good enough at this thing to be paid well for it, can avoid injury and continue to do the thing well for a time without fucking up at the wrong time, and are the kind of person that gets along with the other people involved then you might make money.
>>26624405
I'm agree with you about sex, anon.
>>26626864
Still not that big of a deal get gud at something and the money will come.
It's easy to get a job if you have a skill that's in demand
>>26626969
m8, pls.
You can be the best at X, but if they only guy in town that wants X thinks you're an ackward ugly piece of shit that needs to stay 10 miles from his factory at all times then being great at X doesn't really help you at this time.
The world seldom is as simply as go to school for X, immediately get job in X, make $.
You have to be good at X, go to school to get paperwork to prove you are good at X, work shitty jobs related to X to put on resume, write tests and do interviews for the good jobs related to X, hope you pass the tests and that the interview HR fucks like you, etc etc.
>>26627089
And you know this how?
If you were any good at something you would know what I'm talking about. What's your skill?
Also
>restricting your job search to a single town
Lmao no wonder u got 20k salary
>>26627136
I'm not the fuck that makes $20k, bud.
Been there years ago starting out, not great times.
I know this because I've been working for more than a decade and have had at least 7 jobs I can think of.
>restricting your job search to a single town
Which is why I clearly states "at this time", dumbass. Of course moving is an option, and in that situation I would do it, but that won't automatically work anyway.
>>26627227
What's your skill tho?
>>26623964
28 year old girl here.
I have an easy 9-5 job (I usually turn up about 10ish and leave about 4ish) which I enjoy, am financially independent but most of my dates are paid for by guys, work out when I feel like it, see my friends every day, have been in 19 relationships, and have had sex with about 40 different guys.
Ask me anything.
>yfw this is actually what a girl of your age will have experienced
>>26623964
Why are you here, do you think we're all idiots? You don't anybody here.
>>26627252
It doesn't matter since you'll just tell me "hurr that's not a real skill" and make up some retarded reason, but my union says otherwise.
Anyway, you clearly know nothing about this topic.
>>26627227
>getting fired almost every year
>something to be proud of
Ok mate
>>26627508
Videogames it is
My 12 year old cousin shares your expertise
>>26627520
>implying i was fired
Never been fired once, friend.
Left for a better job each time.
>>26627549
>implying you wouldn't literally kill to be a unionized video game player
>I have a steady 9-5 job
>am financially independent
Uh I doubt it, if you're still working full time.
>Financial independence is generally used to describe the state of having sufficient personal wealth to live, without having to work actively for basic necessities.[1] For financially independent people, their assets generate income that is greater than their expenses. For example, a person's quarterly expenses may total $4,000. They receive dividends from stocks they have previously purchased totaling $5,000 quarterly, while also having more money in other assets. Under these circumstances, a person is financially independent.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_independence
Financial independence means you don't have to work to sustain yourself. If you're working a 9-5 job then most likely you are not financially independent--but rather, you're dependent on your wages.
>>26627508
Nah I just wanna know. I figured a person with valuable skills would know that it's easy to find work in a world full of underqualified underachievers. I'm assuming you do unskilled work
>>26627557
>that right there? That's mark
Nah, don't bother promoting mark he shows up, works a few months then never comes to work again
Yeah his brother keeps getting him jobs, people agree to hire him because they know it's only for two three months tops, I think he is into drugs, I mostly feel sorry for his parents
how have you not killed yourself yet?
serious question im 24 and considering it. i'm not lonely, i have a whole list of people i should call up but i just don't. i'm depressed and unmotivated by life.
how do i crawl out of the hole?
>>26623964
>I have a steady 9-5 job which
No you don't, nobody does. That is just a defense mechanism. Deep down you want to be rich and not have to work a 9-5, but since you have to, you say you enjoy to make yourself feel better, and look better to others. But really, you are miserable and don't want to be wagekeking.
>>26627614
You can assume whatever you want.
For instance I'm assuming your parents paid for your school and you then got a job through someone they know.
You feel you're a self made man and you did it all yourself just by being so damn skilled, right?
>>26627674
I didnt go to college, I'm a tradesman.
>>26627698
Many trades still require you to go to school.
>>26627633
Nice dubs.
Have you tried Vitamin D?
>>26627751
But many dont
I learned on the job by doing unskilled manual labour for several years before I was given a chance to move up in the company. Now I have a skill that can get me a job anywhere in my country
>>26627774
nah my ex sent me a whole bunch of shit about vitamin deficiencies and depression and stuff but i didn't really read it...
its not that i don't think there IS a cure, its just that i don't know how to start taking the first step...
>>26627795
And if tomorrow some asshole ran a red light and you lost your arm would it matter how skilled you are?
>>26627833
Wtf is your point? Anyone could get hit by a car
>>26627833
I would get nice disability checks amounting to 30k a year if I was incapable of working. If I could recover I'd go back to work
>>26627833
>Some asshole could hit u with his car and kill u so just stay in ur basement and never do anything with your life
>>26627876
That it doesn't matter how fucking skilled you are, you can get hit by a car, it might turn out that ex that hates you works in HR, you could get sick two days before the interview, etc.
This isn't a just world where you win just for trying hard and being good at something.
Skill is only part of the equation, your ability to convince other people or even just dumb luck is as important as anything else.
>>26627946
But I am skilled and I do have a job lmao
>>26627925
That's not my point at all, fool.
>>26627946
Ur a retard if you can do something that people pay to have done but you don't get paid to do it
>>26627968
Good for you, and good for me, but it doesn't always work that way for everyone.
>>26627975
Your point doesn't make sense tho. I have a skill that can get me jobs. U could learn this skill and get nice job too
>>26627987
Things like unpaid internships are garbage. I agree.
>>26628004
Someone could learn your skill and they may get a nice job, or they may not. The skill alone isn't everything.
>>26628022
Yeah it is. If someone is a good worker nothing else matters. My boss would take anybody who shows up everyday and does their job. Construction is almost universally like this.
>>26623964
I succeeded to graduate college and secure a decent middle class job. I never, in my life, had anything close to a social presence. How do I work up the courage to go outside when it isn't work or errand related?
I'm so bored. I don't think life was meant to be lived this way.
>>26628067
How does your boss know they're going to work hard and show up every day the second he meets them?
>>26628130
He is on the job site with us. He watches the new guys work.
>>26628170
Does he hire every single person that ever talks to him?
>>26626289
If I can't lift her, then I'm not dating her.
My one rep max deadlift is just over 250lbs, so somewhere between 200lbs and 250lbs would be the absolute heaviest girl I would date, and she would have to have a really pretty face and a stunning personality.
Honestly it's not simply about the weight though. I want to date a girl who gives enough of a shit to take care of herself, and fat girls generally don't.
>>26628130
And believe me if some asshole is slacking off and making me work harder than I should, I'm rattin him out
>>26628184
If he has room yeah. A lot of people don't have the drive to learn the skill cause its hard work so we go thru a lot of guys
>>26628216
>if he has room
So if showed up on a day where there was no room I wouldn't get a job despite any skill I may have?
That sounds like dumb luck to me.
>>26626597
>What is your job?
I'm a content writer for a marketing company. Something that actually uses my English degree, so I'm pleased in that regard.
This current job is just a stepping stone as I gain a little industry experience. To be honest I know that I am well underpaid for the work I do, which in reality goes far beyond simple writing. I have taken on a lot of SEO and web development tasks, and I have become a de-facto project manager as well. In the next year or two I will take what I have learned and transition to a higher paying job elsewhere, unless I get a significant raise.
>>26628254
There's a million companies to work for. If you have a skill you'll get a job somewhere. Or he'll call you when there's room. You would eventually get a Vance to work for him if you specifically wanted to
>>26623964
Good for you friend glad you live a productive life and are happy
>>26628323
I just showed you an instance in your own goddamn work site where dumb luck can play a more important role than skill and you still won't admit that skill isn't everything?
>>26628389
Bruh it's a small company. Large companies are always hiring so you could work for them if you had the skills
>>26624134
holy shit you must be fucking MISERABLE. talk about crabs in a bucket
>>26627633
>how have you not killed yourself yet?
I would be lying if I said I had never considered it. There have been some really low points in my life when I just couldn't bring myself to believe things would ever get better, but despite everything I always just thought to myself, "Well, let's see what happens tomorrow." And just took things day by day. It has taken a lot of work to get to the point where I am consistently happy.
>how do i crawl out of the hole?
Unfortunately, that's one thing I don't have the answer to. It's something you've got to do for yourself. No one else can bring you out of depression.
>>26624200
>>26624405
Post pic of your femenine penis
>>26628416
So really then, since we both agree you can get turned down due to dumb luck despite skill, isn't perseverance just as important as skill?
>>26628389
Plus I already said if u want to work for my company specifically you would eventually get a chance.
>>26628481
I hardly call applying to jobs perseverance.
>>26628450
well thanks for answering. i guess i knew that your answer would be what it was. i just figure if i keep asking eventually someone will say something that sticks. maybe
>>26628515
>>26628515
You can call it whatever you want.
Really though, in this thread alone we've seen that to have a good job one must be skilled, able to socialize properly or else the boss or their fellow workers will deal with them, possess a sense of duty and work ethic, persevere when things go against them, and just plain lucky not to get sick or injured.
>>26628495
If I just so happen to live there or somewhere else with a boss that thinks similarly. Again, dumb luck.
>>26628665
You can literally choose where to live retard. Flip burgers for a few months and you can switch countries
>>26628633
Skill being the most important. Without skill you're making minimum
>>26628711
Why is it any more important than anything else?
Also, have you never had to work with some idiot that isn't actually skilled, but can just fake it for a limited time, and then hides behind some kind of bullshit mental illness thing to not get fired?
>>26628687
I never said you couldn't move, dumbass. Did you have a point?
>>26628784
Wtf kind of work do u do where someone can fake skill????
>>26628816
>if I just so happen to live there
That's what u said. If you don't happen to live where there's work, move.
>>26628874
Yes, that's what I said.
You however, missed the point entirely.
If you have to flip burgers for a X number of months and then move, that's because in that case, dumb luck was more important than skill.
>>26628931
Okay whatever my point is
No skill = shit money shit job
>>26628853
Sometimes they cut a new guy some slack because, you know, they're new.
When they went to fire this guy he claimed some bullshit about ADHD or something, I don't know!!1!
Now they pay him well to do bitch work in the basement or something. His skill had nothing do with it.
>>26628952
You can be completely unskilled and if you have the right connections you won't be making shit money.
>>26628991
Never seen that happen. Do u work in an office or something?
If someone told my boss they could do the work and proceeded to not do the work they would be fired
>>26629029
Exactly if you have the right connections. Which is rare af
If you have a skill u have a much better chance at a decent job
>>26629034
Nope, he, in theory, works with high voltage now. I don't think they actually let him touch anything though.
>>26629058
But again, skill is not everything if some rich Daddy's Boy fuck can make way more than I despite his not knowing a damn thing.
>>26629085
Maybe skill isn't everything but knowing how to do work not many people know how to do is a huge advantage in getting a job
>>26629123
Sure, obviously I agree with that, but it's not the only thing that matters and it's not a guarantee.
>>26623964
Why don't you FUCKING GET OUT OF THIS BOARD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FUCKIMG NORMIE GET OUT
