Is it worth it to purchase some fragrances if I'm on the dating/having girlfriend scene?
>>33777447>you're like everyone elseI'm something of a Marquesses on /adv/ for having bedded women.
>>33777418>What's the point of pretending to smell like something inherently fakeYou wore axe.
>>33778509You're a real Genius in France>>33778520I wore nothing. And even if you were to say that about Axe it isn't as if anyone walks around smelling like bergamot and whatever else the fuck they put in cologne
>>33778936>even if you were to say that about Axe it isn't as if anyone walks around smelling like bergamot and whatever else the fuck they put in cologneSo what? Are you going to stop brushing your teeth? Stop using hair products? Soap? Shampoo? Conditioner? Antibiotics? Clothes?

When I'm at work all I do is think and daydream. I think about a lot of things. How billionaires are actively destroying the planet, how Klaus Shwaub wants us to "live in ze pod und eat ze bugs" how climate change is causing the planet to become an oven, and how shits only gonna get worse in America from here on out what with the current gynocracy railroading this country on a fast track to disaster, if we're not deep within the flames already. I often tend to daydreaming amd fantasize. I fantasize about furry girls like picrel and imagine myself having sex with kemonomimi girls. I often have vivid sexual fantasies of anime furry girls and want to live with them and snuggle them each night. Dakimakuras are nice but sometimes I wish they were real. I've felt this way for the longest time and want to love on girls like Carrot-Chan. Am I just autistic or what?
tldr $400 would save my life, and I don't have any family or friends that are in a better sitch than mei am a happy kind person, but my lack of money is constantly throwing me into a hyper nihilist state of "who cares" (i.e. im about to get evicted, im starving, and im very far away from any irl friends) and this stressor is something that I cannot handleI'll have $70 to my name and feel great and fine, but when the 1st rolls around I know that I wont be able to afford it.I've worked my ass off in alaska and the midwest for 5 years; I feel perpetually broke still.Icing on the cake is that I am epileptic. I completely ignore my -70k medical debt at this point, but is still a constant reminder.This is bullshit!
Money feels like a tangible measure of success. Haha funny bank number go up, and you feel like it proves you have value in the world, even if it's five bucks you happened to find tucked in a couch cushion.
I think that's a major major issue on my relationship with money. I love and I am loved, and people like having me around and I like having people around. That fucking number man
>>33778802>why does money affect my will to keep goin?because your basic needs arent being met. you said it yourself >about to get evicted, im starving

>>33776624explain how
How many men have been sabotaged by this kind of "advice"?Take things too slow with a foid and she will lose interest, take them too fast and she will lose interest too. You have to constantly predict at what pace to move with them or they will lose interest.I've had foids who were head over heels with me, told me how they can't wait to introduce me to their parents and how i'll be the best looking guy they ever bring home and even foids that paid for a taxi back to the hotel, but then I did something like smiled too much or maybe my voice broke or whatever other thing foids see as an ick and instantly I went from man of their desires to an asexual crippled dog. Why can't foids communicate? Why do I constantly have to guess at what pace I should move things with them? These creatures aren't people, they're some sort of bullshit robots and if you don't click the right buttons at the right time the robot just self-destructs. Where can I find women with whom I can talk to like human beings and not have it feel like i'm defusing a bomb?
>>33756908Like other anons suggest, the problem is likely you. You are not accustomed to reading human behaviour. You wouldn't be asking this question in the first place if you knew what you were doing. Saying "women" is just...ehhh..lazy. Pic related is how women and girls behave when they're actually into you. They become outright annoying.
>>33775948>I always just get the "back off until she relaxes->ghosted" path which isn't on your flowchart for some reason.The flow chart is supposed to be followed while you're with her. When you're with her it shouldn't be possible for you to back of until she ghosts you.The idea is to constantly be aware of how comfortable she is with you. And when you try for more, you do so slow enough that if she becomes uncomfortable you can back off a little, return to your previous level and relax with her until she's comfortable again.You shouldn't sit while completely backed off away from her, hoping she'll start being more comfortable with you in general for some reason.It's possible there's an element of how you're escalating that's to abrupt or something. I'm not sure.>I always get cut off after 2-3 dates when everything seems great on the date itselfHow are you gauging whether the date is going great?>and they never tell me why.This is very common. We'll often miss signals, upset them by it, and never figure out what happened.I stuck to trying to figure out why things I di directly caused undesired responses.
>>33776693>How are you gaugingI take them at their word, big mistake I know. I assume that when they are smiling and engaging in conversation the whole time and then tell me afterward they had a good time that it means they had a good time. Obviously I should have been reading their nonexistent signals that are undetectable to me despite them being the only thing I'm focusing on for several hours at a time. I must be bad at communication :^)

> found porn at a young age (middle school)> it started with soft core straight porn stuff like boobs> ends up with sissy porn, cock porn, bbc cuckolding, etc. I have quit every addiction in my life but not this one. With every girlfriend I have ever had I would secretly watch porn like this. I genuinely feel disgusted but have gone back over and over again. Is it just the porn addiction or am I bisexual or what exactly? Maybe both? As far as I know I only was attracted to women my whole life. I just want to be normal and be a good partner to my soon to be wife.
>>33778595you probably jack off to chinese cartoons of "9000 year old vampires" or some other weird shitNo one under the age of like 37 knows what normal pornography is/was. Even the most-viewed front page stuff is filled with like "choke me daddy" shit that used to be hidden behind the curtained-off backroom area of a porn store.
>>33778613>t.

>>33778529I am the op and I’m a millennial, pretty much just made it in time to have access to high speed internet porn on those sites. I assume being Gen Z was even worse exposure wise.> have a look at /b/ or /gif/ and it's like 60-80% gay tranny racial cuck sissy shit. Even if you're not naturally sexually confused, a kid has no chance being exposed to all that shit at that impressionable age.Some people think it’s a psyop, but what’s for certain to me is it’s all very strong and fringe, akin to a fent market of porn.>>33778516I saw my parents and it helped a lot to avoid the feelings today. I’m a recluse so I can confirm the correlation between being alone (outside of my gf) and being an addict.
>>33778699>I am the op and I’m a millennial, pretty much just made it in time to have access to high speed internet porn on those sitesNah by the time those sites dropped and you also had high speed internet it was basically over - and shortly after there's ipads and tablets and smartphone you can now jack off to anywhere in the house or public bathroom or whatever instead of jacking off to single jpegs and 30 second clips at the giant desktop computer in the living room when no one was home or they were asleep.Also all the hub sites made it so everyone's fetishes are all on display for everyone else to see. Before pornhub and all those other sites, pornography on the internet was pretty much segregated. If you wanted porn from a specific porn actress you went on her website specifically or the website of the casting agency or network she was a part of.There was no risk of seeing japanese mommy milkies on the one goth chick's website, there wasn't any black trans men farting on the one softcore lesbian's website.Websites were part of other networks where you could click out to another porn actress's site who was in the same genre or some other agency that dealt with the same content - and you could technically play a game of 6 degrees of weird fetish spearation, but really there was no way to be curious about directly clicking on a stepmom cuck squirting video like you would now since it's just sitting there on the front page of one website along with everything else.
So I have some roommates, we aren't friends but we also aren't on bad terms. They did indirectly tell me to stop some stuff in the GC without naming me directly. (It was my fault) but it was handled in a polite manner.But lately, I overheard them talking in a loud manner how they hate having the door open, we have a house dog that would somethings enter our rooms if the door was open. I sometimes leave the door open but so do they. It wasn't the full conv but it was the gist.And then I heard music play repeatedly from behind one of their rooms. I listen to music somethings, but I try to keep it a minor volume. The reason I think it might be directed at me is because somethings I play a certain part of the song over and over, and that was what they were doing. But they could have an on TikTok or some shit idk.I had it with immature games but I don't want to confront them then realize it was coincidence then look like an ass.
>>33777607Yes. Get your own place. Who the fuck has roommates you beta cuck. Live with your girlfriend or alone or start a family.picrel Mogged
>>33777607I'd just ignore it, people who don't openly speak up if they dislike something are the definition of actual "beta cucks" and don't deserve any attention whatsoever.And don't listen to people who still live in mommys basement (>>33777878)
>>33777607Just ignore it, but also try to be respectful in the future. You don't want them to keep their anger building up over time until they burst one day.
>>33778577>people who still live in mommys basementI live above ground sir. check out r/badroommates it's endless posts like this. People need to just live alone once they reach the point where they think there are secret messages being transmitted thru the walls or a single unclean dish gives them a stroke.
I have a very uncomfortable problem I think with human sexuality. I have come to fear to it / find it troublesome I guess. I realize its healthy to have it but as a heterosexual male, I definitely don't feel great about it I guess. I think this may stem from the fact that I have never seen anyone who I know to be sexually active actually have a healthy sexual relationship? All my friends that had sex earlier in life, had kids and in turn had issues come up. Either baby mama drama or other problems etc. So to me, sex = imminent ruin of your life. However, I realize that without sex, the human race wouldn't exist. I wouldn't exist etc. I want humans to exist and I want to exist obviously. I am not sure what caused me to even feel this way. Some people seem so fine with their sexuality and being a sexual being etc. But its never felt great to me. It feels like I have to feed a lizard in my mind otherwise it will make me behave in increasingly weirder ways. What can I do to improve my own relationship with standard human sexuality? I really want to know how some people end up with a positive outlook on sex whereas mine is all fucked up? The only semi-sex related trauma I can remember is being in early high school and the sex ed teacher showed us super advanced cases of STDs which freaked me out badly but thats it. Even more weird is that I am unfortunately also a porno abuser but I wouldn't say I am a rampant coomer. I definitely use porn and not masturbate a lot of the times because its soothing to me to look at naked women.
What do you talk about with women? I'm never on the same page with them. I don't really care about what they talk about, and I can never think of things to talk about that they would care for.
you probably cannot socialize with people regardless of gender you social retard.
>>33778507Bumping. Nta, but was always told women love to talk about themselves, yet it always turns into a pseudo interrogation when trying to have a conversation. And when they do talk, it's about uninteresting shit. I can talk with guys all day about anything under the sun like self-driving cars ramming into two-tone cars (including police cars), how hard you would need to throw a rock to make a perfect hole through plywood, or what beer is best and why. Then they come in with shit like spirit crystals and women's sports and whatnot. Not that they know jack shit about the sport or the players, just that there are women playing them and something about girl power.
>>33778584>>33778563Now help him
>>33778623Also bullshit politics. Once went to a meetup at a bar and had brought an asimov book to read while waiting for it to start. Had a great conversation with a guy old enough to be my dad who was a materials scientist turned college professr about sci-fi and the rapid progression of technology and solid-state and all that. Then two female elementary school teachers sat down by us and immediately pivoted the conversation to some liberal arts bullshit and politics. Are people just not taught the decorum of polite conversation? Never bring up sex, politics, or religion. It's not that hard.
>>33778649>Never bring up sex, politics, or religion. It's not that hard.these are good rules anon, that I've been following for many years and It's nice to see someone else say them without hearing me say them.me likey.
Why am I getting bullied from everyone? I am tired of it. It because I am skinny, weak and low intelligent? maybe that's because of my un-common name? maybe because I am left-handed? idk man I am tired of it.
>>33774528I won't read invasive-species threads.
>>33774528>. It because I am skinny, weak and low intelligent?Yes.
>>33774528>It because I am skinny, weak and low intelligent?Nobody will take you seriously as a man if you aren't strong
>>33774528>low intelligent>left-handedthese you can quit worrying about, they are irrelevant. very smart people get bullied all the time.you know who doesn't get bullied? men who are big and strongtime to start eating and lifting, don't you think? why not pick up some martial arts as a hobby while you're at it
make them pay, show that actions have a price, you, my friend, are the necessary revolution when you do what you need to do
How can I do this as a man without coming off as cringey and desperate for female attention?
>>33778186But I wasn't excluded for a good reason. There were guys on that calendar that were 5 foot five, and 125lbs. Also, a skinny fat dude got included as well. I'm pretty sure it was just the boss picking his personal friends from outside of work, and didn't have as much to do with looks as you would think. Not being picked even though I more than qualify is really eating me inside.
>>33778186Then what's the alternative? Doing nothing at all would just make me feel worse. I don't have a girlfriend, and haven't gotten laid in months.
>>33778235Doing nothing would save you from embarrassment. All the memes of cringy selfies you see on 9gag or whatever, were taken by people who genuinely thought they were good-looking. When you see yourself in the mirror every day, you get used to your appearance and end up having a skewed perception of your real attractiveness. It's up to you to decide whether you want to risk becoming laughing stock in your entourage. The fact you haven't gotten laid in a while indicates that you are perhaps not as attractive as you think you are.
>>33778375I'm not the hottest guy on earth, But I KNOW that at least some women want me. Even as recent as like two weeks ago, I hit it off with some random chick I met at a bar with some friends, and we made out a lil. Maybe hitting her up would do me a lil good? Do you think that this desire to put myself out there will fade once I just fuck again?
>>33778423Yes, it will also make you more attractive (not physically) to them in person as women feel it when some coomer desperately wanting to score hits on them. If you appear more grounded and sometime even a little indifferent, it usually makes them more attracted to you as they seek a form of validation.
I need some help. So I have a crazy ex who posted me on the tea app with my picture, my name, private information, and false defamatory comments about me. Worse yet, there are two other commenters who are backing up her claims about me (likely her libtard friends). I have asked her to take it down but she is claiming she didn’t do it (impossible because the comment contains personal information). I’ve heard about a list that someone got from the app—giving the legal names associated with the user names on the app. This would probably be enough to threaten her and her friends with legal action to take it down. If you guys have any other ideas, please share. Also a quick aside…Bitches be psycho but please don’t let this story be a reason to mistrust women. It takes a special rare breed of crazy to slander someone just for being broken up with. Unfortunately the tea app makes it easy for a few dumb sluts to destroy someone’s entire reputation. Any help is greatly appreciated.
>>33778038You're done dude. No one is going to side with you even if you did nothing wrong. You're aware that some women make a living picking rich men to do this to and to get compensation, right? The guy either wastes lawyer fees defending a lost cause, or pays up the accuser to close the case. Some women do it just to ruin others and their careers.You will never win a "my word against theirs" case against a woman in 2025. You're guilty until she decides you're not, and then she'll just get a light tap on the shoulder for false accusations.
Be the monster she says you are.Then she might be scared into removing the information.Ta-dah.
>>33778038Change your name and move
>>33778038>I need some help. So I have a crazy ex who posted me on the tea app with my picture,...OK yeah lets see if there has been any legal work on doxing here...> (likely her libtard friends). yeahhhh you deserve it. No one uses libtard in this day and age without also being a right wing maggot. Remember you sound as crazy to them as they sound to you. You are not immune to propaganda. Examine your beliefs and determine which ones are driven by hatred, then rid yourself of them and the villains who poisoned your mind. Only then can you realize...the kind of people who use "Tea" to screen men are the kind of people you really don't want to date anyway.
you can threaten legal action just fine without having that information, you just have to know it exists and pay a lawyer.
Me: Hey my 2 months of short term disabilitty are up. Can I come back to work for just 3 days a week?Canada life: You need a letter from your doctorMe: OkayMe: Shows up to work on mondayCanada life: WHY ARE YOU AT WORK WE DIDN'T SAY YOU COULD GO BACK TO WORK?!Me: Uh...it's monday, my 2 months are up, I'm working 3 days a week now, I still have to get the letter from my doctorCanada life: YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AT WORKMe: I...was just doing what we agreed upon.

>>33774514Read line 2. They TOLD you you couldn't come back to work until they got a letter from your doctor.
>>33774514>What did I do wrong?You are being fucking retarded, that's what.
did you get brain damage?
So let's say I bump into someone coming out of a door, and they give me the right of way, thinking I am going straight ahead.Is it rude to not say anything and just point in their direction since I wanted to go in the door?
>>33770982Clothesline them, I fucking hate people with the door at stores. I will wait till there's nobody coming to open it myself because for some reason people wanna hold the door for a grown ass capable man. Meanwhile I'll sometimes be pushing my elderly mom's wheelchair and nobody will get the door when it would be helpful.
>>33777614I think it’s alright. I always point where I’m going. Saves people a lot of confusion, especially motorists.
>>33777893Your elderly mom would appreciate you using violence towards innocent people trying to help you.
>>33778084Cool I will kick them when they are down on the ground too.
>>33778196Your elderly mom does not like you.
