25M, gf is 24F. We are heavily leaning towards choosing a DINK/childfree life.

Has anybody else chosen this? Is it really worth it? Pros and cons? We don't have any older childfree people in our family to ask.

Overall it really seems like the right choice for us and the type of life that we are planning to live.

you are a retard. Assuming you still have the same gf in ten years (you wont) if she's still childless at 34 she will be unbearably miserable. Not having kids is a mistake. Repent to Jesus, get married, start a family.

t. 30 something childless miserable dude

She will dump you.
It's evolutionary, human pair bond diminishes if there are no kids after a few years.
It's the same as choosing to stay water free or pooping free. The consequences just take longer to develop.

Why would you even want this anon?
Getting married if you don't have kids is retarded. You will be working your ass off for her leisure instead of your kids future.
>inb4 she has a fake dei/government job and earns more
She will dump you for this too.

I'm 25, and I find myself more attracted to 30-35 y/o women. Is this a weird age gap? I want someone who is ready to have kids but also is financial stable. I don't want her to be completely reliant on me (or vice versa).

I've apparently acquired a female friend and I'm confused. I enjoy her company, and she enjoys mine. I am somewhat attracted to her, and she is somewhat attracted to me (I know this for sure because she basically creamed herself in public because of me and it was a whole thing).

With all that said, her attraction to me doesn't mean much because she fucks alot of guys. She has this kind of contradiction in her personality where she's a total slut but also hates herself for being a slut and 'wants to be trad because they seem so happy' and for some reason her dad encourages her slutty behavior.

I do want to help her change, because it seems like she needs it and we have alot of the same interests, so we hang out alone and I give her advice and stuff, but I kind of don't really want to express any sexual interest in her because I don't want her to take that as a cue, but I also worry that if I continue not expressing interest in her she'll decide it's easier not to change. Like having a relationship with her could be cool, but even if that doesn't happen I'd like her to not be the way she is right now, and it's not like I'm waiting on her to change either.

The way I've put it in my mind is that I'll 'watch and wait' to see if she's all talk when regarding all the 'being trad' stuff, but what I'm really asking is has anyone else played 'captain save-a-hoe' before? How did it go? Did it work?

I'm completely aware that this is a really weird situation from multiple angles

you CAN'T change her.

she is like that and she will never ever ever change. Believe her, she's telling you who she is.

in the next order: I got cheated and dumped.

she was a petite, short haired, otaku girl, that shared many many interests with me (except for the anime part), same age, same background. I'm a decent 6'5 decent looking guy, but no girl caught my attention except for this one (at 20yo).

so, she makes it very clear that she's into me, and why not, I go ahead.
>fast forward a couple months
I'm "living" with her, in her house, 700km away from mine. I had my car, money, and this girl, it was like a dream come true. This went on for three weeks until the vacations ended.
Fell in love. Recklessly in love.

>fast forward a month
Now I actually pay attention to her suicide attempts, mommy issues, bipolar demeanor, and managed to get angry at my family too. She cheats on me (I found out later), a couple weeks go by, and I get the good old "I'm not ready for a relationship".
Still, I was in love.

Physicality beat me many times especially when drunk,my first black eye was when I was 6 and pushed my sister. told me I was retarded almost every day, tried to gas light me into being locked in a mental hospital after the abuse got so bad I had a mental breakdown, when I said I wanted to kill myself he told me he wish I did. When I turned 16 I started physically fighting back and eventually got kicked out multiple times before finally leaving when I was 17 and was homeless for a year while he went on the news to say i was a useless retard. My sister ran away from home due to the abuse and he had the police take her away from me and her loving adoptive family so he could beat her again.

So yeah, I got more then a few reasons to hate him.

What is the reason you haven't reported your father to the police? Sounds like you're doing alright now, that's good. Is your sister ok? The whole stolen valor thing is not important, your father abused you and that kind of thing is lifelong, all you can do is be a good person and you will find other good people.

We live in Texas so he will never be convicted of anything, trust me I have called CPS on him many times but him and my mother lie.

One day when I was 15 and my sister was 13 she did something to provoke my mother and my sister ran into her room and locked the door. My mother broke the door on the hinges and repeatedly hit my sister while my sister called the police.

When they arrived we where all told to lie to the cops or else, and do you know what the sheriff said to my father? "If I was you I would do the same, do you want my belt? Because that's how I discipline my kids"

I'm doing better now, I have my own apartment and when my sister turns 18 I'm getting her out of that house

I'm a disable combat vet, Army, but quiet about it. I work in sales, B2B tech.
Not a lot of veterans in tech sales.
I got hired by a firm and the adjacent sales team had a manager that I saw every day as I went to my desk and met once or twice a month at sales meetings but never really talked to. He wore a US Army Veteran cap of one type or another into the office every day. He'd wear a VFW or DAV pin on his lapel to client meetings. He put out a bowl before Memorial Day to raise money for his DAV chapter - and he listed MY DAV chapter as the one he was raising money for.
At the time I had been a member of that chapter for 6 years and treasurer of that chapter for 2 years and I'd never seen him on the rolls or at a meeting.
Before I left I "bumped into" him and asked which VFW chapter he was in like I'd messed up and confused DAV with VFW. The chapter he gave me was the closest and MY VFW chapter. Likewise I'd never seen him there.
So I called around - nope, he wasn't a member of either.
So I checked with MilPerCen and he HAD gone to BASIC but washed out in 2 weeks and never tried again.
Legally not a veteran. Not a combat veteran, obviously. No service-connected disability.
I took all this to the sales director.
The sales director met with the guy.
The guy was gone.

Within the first week, she brings 3 different men into the house to stay over night. By the 7th day, on a Thursday night, she brings over 6 of her drunk friends at 2 am. They "party" (slamming doors, talking ludly, and throwing up in the bathroom) until 5 am. Most everybody in the house was woken up. I noticed my cat was missing and when I checked the video doorbell and saw she had left the door open and my cat had walked right past her. In my lease agreement it states not to leave the door as to not let the cat out.

Am I legally allowed to serve her a 3 day notice to quit for breaking multiple rules (right to quiet enjoyment, not locking the door, not leaving the door open to not let the cat out, not wearing shoes in the house) within the first week?

To add, I will refund her her prorated rent, however can I keep her 500 desposit until the cat comes home for vet bills? The last time he ran away it required a $1000 visit to the vet. If he doesn't can I keep the 500 as I've had my cat since he was a kitten and have spent well over 500 on him.

For reference I live in CA.

also if the cat returns, keep your cat in your room and lock the door until youve got rid of that person. she will look for some low level revenge i bet. like leaving the door open again or even grabbing the cat. trashy people do stuff like this. theyre subhuman and their whole orientation to life/lifestyle is wrong

I caught feelings for a female with a long term relationship.

We are university students with a touchy-feely type of friendship where we smirk when we make eye contact. We have good chemistry and can constantly banter over something nonstop.

I feel like a fool for having dreams with her in them. I've had a dozen females hit on me in university yet I fall for someone I can't have.

Do I tell her my feelings or just ask her to introduce me to one of her friends?

I wish if i was strong enough to stop myself from talking to others in internet and wasting my time, whether it be on twitter, reddit, multiple forums, or even here

I've just became 21 years old, and I've taken a look at myself, no job, no friends, and i rarely talk to my family members

and i lack motivation to do basic things that every other person can do easily

i think I'm really close in leaving the internet communities, since I've realized that debating people in internet only wasted my time, and i only do it just for a quick dopamine drip

maybe reading a book or two and taking a walk in the outside world will give a new meaning to my dark life.

What are some ways men can build confidence? It seems like women are many avenues to improve their self esteem such as going to a salon, wearing clothes that amp the self esteem and even farming instagram for photo likes. As a guy, I feel like I can't do much of any of that. All my clothes are mundane and I feel like I really don't look nice in anything. Speaking of clothes, what is like the male equivalent to "yoga pants" that women wear. It seems like any woman can put yoga pants on and their ass looks well above average. Same with like dresses or clothes that accentuate a woman curves. I feel like guys clothes can't really do that in a way that isn't cringe. Like what could I even wear?

I just want to be a man with good confidence and self esteem and it seems impossible. While women are easily getting bullet proof self esteems and confidence because they have access to social media photo like-farming.

Go to the gym to be fit, strong, and know you have the mental strength to persevere when tired and sore.
Go hiking and camping to be familiar with the world and learn to be self-reliant, independent, and resourceful.
Go hunting/fishing to develop patience and self control and know you can provide for yourself.
Take a martial art to learn determination, physical courage, and know you can defend yourself and others to some degree.
Specific to you: Talk to a professional and learn what you DO look good in so you stop being negative about your appearance
> While women are easily getting bullet proof self esteems

>>31274556
If you want confidence you have to be able to believe yourself to be worthy of respect and as an equal to those around you, so that might mean
>looking after your appearance
>acting according to your morals
>having a decent job/prospects
>being pleasant company
etc
>>
>>31274556
To build confidence you need to accomplish things which make you feel proud of yourself. Women are retards with the depth of a void; they gain confidence merely by beautifying their appearance. It doesn't work like that for men.

What would make you really proud of yourself? Go strive for that.

Oh, I'm far past the stage where I'm capable of pairbonding myself. That ship sailed by 20. I only fuck hookers, and have no interest in future generations.

I'm saying for those who still hold dreams of "romance" and "having a family" and shit, you shouldn't settle for anything less than a virgin, the closer to her first period the better. The younger she is, the less programmed she will be by our fucked up society, and obviously less romantic baggage means less obstacles to pair bonding with you.

I know I have a resting bitch face and have been told I look intimidating at times.
But when I'm talking to someone, and they're telling a story or something. I typically frown when I think about what they're telling me.
And sometimes I feel that they take this the wrong way like I'm not actually interested in what they're saying.

Even close friends have told me "you're looking at me like I'm a dumbass" when they're telling a more intimate story. And I have to respond with "No nooo. I was just thinking about what you said"

Any tips to still seem polite and engaged without looking this way?

Hi, I have never posted on 4chan before so please be paitent with me


I am 36yrs old, male ex adf. Was abused/violently hazed whilst I was enlisted. I tried to an hero and was thrown out on my arse.

Got married to a karen, had 3 kids worked jobs here and there but always left because I couldnt cope mentally. Found a job in a lab that I was pretty good at for a few years.

Comapny hired arrogant useless cunts who will not follow instructions. I snapped and was going to kill one and this led to me putting a mental health claim in with DVA.

I am unable to work atm and I don't know what to do. An heroing is not an option because my youngest is 5.

Anyone have any advice?

I mean sorry. Best to get help from professionals I guess. Maybe keep a low profile at work instead of acting like you did. Easier said than done probably.

>>31272306
You are unable to work ATM. You are waiting for a claim with the DVA? You have an income?

I don't know what you can do except look after yourself, your household and your kids. I can't cope well with work either and I just try to keep the work boots on and find shit to do around the place regardless (gardens, cleaning, car stuff, kerbside, teaching self stuff, writing). What can you do but show up to appointments, survive, and all that.

You might end up on the DSP or I dunno what the DVA gives you. It's not the worst life. the economy's changing and war's always sucked and ruined people. Keep your head above water and do your best. Those kids need you.

Thanks everyone for the advice, I do appreciate it. Like I said KMS isn't an option.
>>
>>31274570
Wait for those meds to stabilise. You'll get another break. There's help for you. You're doing well. You;ll deal with this. More jobs and plans for if you feel like you might snap, whether it's better job or disability help. you'll be okay.
>>
>>31272306
don't come to 4chan for advice on something like this, I doubt many people here have the adequate experience to seriously help you out.
Good luck, though.
