Is it reasonable to only want to date smart girls? I can stand dumb people, I can't even stand to hear them speak. Thing is most people are kind of dumb. With such a small pool, is it still reasonable to hold that standard?

I was at the grocery store today and saw a woman stocking shelves and she's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I walked by her and we made eye contact and smiled at eachother. I wanted to ask her out but I didn't know what the fuck to say or do. Wtf can i do? I've never asked out a woman cold approach like this but it's literally my only hope of getting a gf rn because i refuse to use dating apps or date my coworkers.

Don't bother. If she's actually that pretty she 100% has a boyfriend and more than enough male attention.
Only interact with women that show initial interest. If a girl finds you attractive she'll go out of her way to make you interact with her. A smile and eye contact is being friendly, not interested (no matter what socially-retarded zoom zooms think).

she wasn't like "hot" she's like the homely type of cute that I actually have a chance with. I like this type of woman much more than "hot" stacys. she smiled at me first when she noticed i made eye contact w her. there also this other girl thats going out of her way to interact w me and she's beautiful like 9/10 but she is jewish.

Build rapport slowly. Smile at her when you see her (obv dont stare and dont come at the store 20 times a week) sometimes ask questions like where x product is (obv ask other clerks as well) and after a month or so when you feel comfortable strike a short convo when theres not too many customers. Maybe sugestion about which type of prodcut she would use for x recipe. Then maybe ask her name. Im taking for granted that you understand this will take a long time to feel natural andyou wont do this in two days.

I am your average 4chan user, I didn't really leave my room and spent most of my days gooning to degenerate shit. One day I chose to leave everything behind and start backpacking. It's been 3 years now since then I still feel empty and lost and I don't know what to do. I'm working at a hostel for food and accommodation but other than that I'm pretty broke and just as aimless as when I first started travelling. What's wrong with me?

>(keep on building) build/construct on top of something
I already have my blog for this, and a few hundred people actively follow it. It helps fulfill my need for attention and works for some long projects, but it doesn’t tie me down as much as an actual relationship. Like, this year I took a two-month break from it and it was fine. I can ban people I dislike, too. With friends, or what’s more, family, I can’t just say, you know what, wife? I’m taking a break from you, or ban parts I don’t like. Actual trad settling would basically be death for me. After it, I’d cause a huge melty or rope myself.

Like what? I don't believe in any of that. When I was researching for my backpacking trip so many people were saying it was a spiritual journey that really did something for them. It was just a long camping trip. I enjoyed it but I don't feel changed by the experience.

I see, blog is another variation but in a sense you are still in "exploration" phase and not yet ready to transition into "exploitation" phase, which is fine but I do see an eventual settling in the cards

I’m torn between two alternatives: going to university or becoming a hermetic, solitary autodidact. On the one hand, university is excellent because it’s social and students are expected to accomplish something to pass their courses. On the other hand, it’s expensive, it takes years to finish and perhaps not all the coursework will be completely interesting. There’s also the negative of my elected degree in particular, a Bachelor of Arts: it doesn’t guarantee a great job (except, maybe, in government or business administration). Being an autodidact will cost me nothing; there will be no deadlines nor assigned coursework, no pressure.

To be or not to be a university student, that is the question…
>>
Autodidact in this day n age full stop

College is just for dumb FOMO, not actual self-directed people or if you were then do med law engineering or whatever else is an actual gated profession
>>
>>34145972
>autodidact
You don't know what this word actually means.
But you are correct to question if college education is something for you. Only you can answer that question, make sure to weight the pros and cons properly.
>>
>>34145994
Well the cons outweigh the pros
>pro
socialising
studying topics that interest me (I can do this without university enrolment however, so it’s moot)
>con
losing years of my life to a commitment I’m uncertain about
taking on tens of thousands of dollars of debt
subjecting myself to vain amounts of stress
pursuing a degree that offers no guarantee I’ll ever work in my field of study (that isn’t necessarily a con but it makes the whole thing seem futile regardless)

Don't say surgery please

Your height is 99% genetics and surgery will only make it worse. However, I know only of one way and that is to have a proper regular diet as a kid. Late onset puberty also helps but comes with other side effects which is arguably worse.

>surgery will only make it worse
Dafuq do you mean?
The only bad part of surgery is the expensive cost and the gruesome lengthy recovery.
>>
>>34145903
Depends on how old you are. You can maybe grow taller still and i would just try to get good sleep
>>
>>34145903
are you unathletic? if so, pull ups and compound lifts will give you an extra inch of height if you're an adult
>>
>>34145903
if you are very young as in underage sub 15 you can probably be taller by eating better. You can also appear taller by having better posture. Real height increase is surgery only, which is expensive and often cripples you. Height is not even that important anyway.

I’m thinking of going homeless and living in shelters while going to college. Reason being I want to work less hours (no need to pay rent and qualify for food stamps) so I can focus on school more, relocate closer to a city, and have time to actually enjoy my life. I currently live with family but my mom is a piece of shit and I pay for everything involving myself anyways. Only concern is safety and sickness. Thoughts?

>>34142095
I was homeless for most of a semester of college- I slept with a lot of women, stayed out all night at bars then diners then slept on couches in the library or other lounge areas when the school opened. It would only work in a big city with stuff open all night. Maybe you can look into van life shit that would be more comfy.

Where is the college going to send your mail?

If you have a van or suv I say do it. Otherwise no.

Do you have any sort of actual plan?
Know what the laws are where you live?
You're not guaranteed a spot at the shelter and people are definitely going to steal your stuff. You'd be better off living in a car.
>>
Look into van life, as everyone else is saying. There's a ton of youtube videos. Get yourself a decent power station, solar panels, rice cooker, etc.

(The photo shows my forearm) I have problems with self-harm, without even noticing it. I'm just sitting watching some video and my hand subconsciously reaches under my shirt to pop or try to squeeze out pimples that aren't even visible (small blackheads and a little subcutaneous fat). It's really hard to tear myself away from it, and I don't do it out of self-hatred or to deliberately harm myself, but it irritates me immensely. It really interferes with wearing a May dress or anything sleeveless. Most often, I just tell people that I have skin problems, and that's why I have these scars. I saw a psychologist, there were no problems, and I feel great. I also have a problem with biting my lip (a spot darker than the lip itself has already appeared on it from frequent injury), but I found a way to avoid this by constantly applying lipstick. And in the case of my shoulder, I don't even know what to do.
>>
>>34146001
Just stop picking at your shoulder.
It's not that deep.
You could wear long sleeves all the time until the bad habit goes away.
Unless there's something wrong with your brain, if you feel like it's truly outside of your control, investigate with a doctor.

Is it worth pursuing an autistic/neurodivergent girl?
22 replies and 3 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>34145794
So would you say it’s worth to date one? Why?
>>
>>34145800
Worth it to date who? The autist or OCD? Truthfully the answer could be either one or none. Anyone with any disorder can be worth dating provided the person with the disorder is self aware and has enough INT to override their own disorder during crucial moments.

If you meant generally speaking yeah autists are worth dating: They are almost incapable of lying, they genuinely don't know how to lie properly due to the high social skills it requires to be a good liar. And they're socially stunted so they are very innocent and very honest. But the big, big, big but is the autist is cursed with dead-tone speech and blindness to social nuance. So despite all their sweets and honesty, they accidentally come off as rude, arrogant or angry all the time without intending it. If you aren't a pussy and don't have a sensitive ego, dating autists is A+.

OCDs can be worth it too if you are big on communication. All the reassurance seeking brute forces relationship maintenance convos and constantly touching base emotionally. They're also very prompt and reliable gift givers, they will fear the world will implode if they don't remember to get you a birthday gift so they are always showing up for important occasions

Do women really approach men? What are the signals and signs that a woman wants you?

>Do women really approach men?
Yes, but not you.
>>
>>34138384
They stare at you. They'll sometimes smile while they walk by. They'll stand close in your vicinity. She'll come up to you to ask you a random question.
Basically she's setting it up for you to take the signal and begin the conversation and rizzing.

Some women are occasionally more overt about it, but usually they're red flags.
>>
>>34138384
I have no idea anymore. Last time I was hanging out with a girl we went out the movies, I tried being cuddly with her but she did not reciprocate at all. She did not move in closer or even react. I then asked what we were doing afterwards, as in what's going on between us, because I held her hand to my car, but she said "Yeah I guess I could see myself dating you..." and I figured she was letting me off easy and afraid of a negative reaction from me.

I kind of backed off after that and then she kept asking to come over and watch a movie. Again, I tried to get cuddly and close to her but she suddenly said she was having anxiety issues and wasn't comfortable with us being physical. I totally backed off after that. No way am I making a move on a girl that uses the line "I'm uncomfortable being physical with you." She then kept wanting to hang out at my place and watching movies a couple times after, but I slowly just disengaged and no longer talk to her. I guess she just wanted to kill time or something??

Honestly have no idea what that was about. I just gave up completely with women.
>>
>>34138384
No. even Chad's don't get a approached, or if they do it's in that stupid Goof Troop way women act when they think they are showing a guy they are interested.

Imagine if a guy walked up to a woman and started spouting meaningless nonsense and then started imitating her speech patterns and tone. Just ridiculous.
>>
>>34145679
A lot these "first moves" from women sound incredibly vague and could easily be mistaken for something else

How is it to actually date one? I'm tired of dealing with mentally ill women & am now considering a mentally ill man. Can it be any worse even in the short term?

Surgery is generally not something one should consider if there are equally effective alternatives, but when there *aren't* equally effective alternatives, it's foolish *not* to consider it.

But in any case, what was lucky about her situation wasn't anything surgical, it was the fact that she had been on puberty blockers. That meant that, even in a bikini, she was able to pass perfectly. If she'd been forced to wait till she was 18 before starting hormones, the end result would have been far less satisfactory.

If he had been forced to wait until he was 18 he likely would have realized he wasn't "trans" at all, and would have gone on to live a happy and healthy life. Which would obviously be far more satisfactory than continuing to live a lie with a mutilated body.
