I find text "dating" exausting, pointless, and counter-performative. Dont know how people can go weeks or even months on only texting before meeting, and were often accused by people of "rushing it" when try to propose a date after few back and forth textsI mean, what the fuck is the point of talking on remote about topics we can talk in person? You would know a person better by talking to him IRL for and hour than texting for two weekDo anyone here agreed with my view? If not, why?
Women often times use this to "vet" you so they don't waste time getting ready to meet you. It is retarded and pointless, but this is the modern day woman for you.>ugh it's so exhausting working my daycare job, getting make up on, watching my doomscroll tiktok reels, and have to show up and go on a date. I'll just reply every 3 hours on text instead!
>>34651345Not everyone does that. Try to ditch the women who do because you'll waste your life and get your hopes up for no reason 99% of the time.
I can’t tell anymore. Please advise. Is this a scam? Please and thank you.
Thanks
>>34650555you can still go with it and see what happensyou can block them at any time, just don't sign anything
>>34650454This. Also, $300 per hour. Of course it's a scam.
If it sounds too good to be true... it is.
>>34650451Total scam. They don't mention the large sign-up fee, the large training costs and the expensive materials you'll have to buy up-front, nor the fact that - having got that out of you - they'll never pay you for anything you do.
Ive been battling transgenderism since I was a kid and in the beginning it was just a fantasy but as i got older, the desire grew stronger and emotions similarly described as "gender dysphoria" followed. Im not ugly, anti-social, pervy, prude or anything that typically stereotypes most transwomen and yet these internal feelings have stayed with me and have even mentally crippled me at times for as long as I can remember.is there a way out of this? whats also frustrating for me is that I welcome these as equally as i reject them. im religious as well and so this truly serves as a genuine impass for my life because im not sure if the transgenderism thing is just a psyop or not but it mentally weighs and impacts my decision making daily and i just dont know if my feelings are true or not or if theres a deeper picture
>>34650956>the transgenderism thing is just a psyopCouldn't have said it better myself. "Gender dysphoria" is a natural part of the human condition since time immemorial, you can accept that you have these feelings without any shame, . Transgender-ism was only recently invented by the medical-industrial complex, don't fall for that bullshit, it is possible to be okay with whatever body and biological gender you have, without being brainwashed by the system that behaviors and feelings not conforming to your gender stereotype are problematic and only curable with whoremoan therapy and surgery.
>>34650956Had gender dysphoria (although in preteen years which I was probably tricked into having) and ultimately got out of it strongly by having a reason to really like being the sex that I am. After all, my partner isn't going to be with someone of the opposite sex and that makes me really like that I am this sex and the benefits I reap (them choosing to touch me and talk to me and stuff)! Easier said than done but perhaps a sliver of chance? You can also start idealizing that dynamic a little too. In the case of mine, it's heterosexual so I start thinking how great it is and how a man and a woman compliment one another and so on. You don't need to be homo/heterophobic but realizing all the advantages is huge. This may only work if you seriously have some mental component that makes you hyper responsive to relationships as I seem to be. I'm not sure. Good luck.
>>34650956Lol
How do I prevent my mom from watching mindless K-drama all day? Ever since my older cousins introduced it to my grandmother and her a couple of years ago, my mom has gotten hooked and goes to bed unusually late because of this garbage tv-slop. She's very adamant, and I am shit at persuading. Do I just block it from the tv, or do I try and talk with her? It hurts to see her watching this superficial romance crap every single day.
>>34650514American can only think in two directions.
>>34649809It's extremely dysgenic and dysfunctional to parent your own parent and is the sign that you had a fucked up childhood. That is not normal behaviour at all, even if you don't question it and assume it's normal. That shit isn't normal, most families don't have a set up where their own children are parenting their own parents
this>>34649821>>34649809Just let them enjoy their chad pretty boy sexxo stories anon and let them relive their chad cock carousel days they had before they decided to settle down with carl the cuck type betabuxx husbands
>>34649809In precisely what way is this any of your business?
>>34651290>they >theirKill yourself, and your family
Is it possible to eat healthy as a rural dweller? I wanna GTFO the city and live in a house in the countryside with nobody around. But in most places the only places to get food are Walmart, Dollar General if you don't even have a supermarket. Or grow it yourself, plant vegetables, keep some chickens and cows, which I have zero experience with, only having lived in my parents' apartment before. From what I've seen in tours of small towns in Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee: Most people are fat drinkers and smokers who eat whatever GMO produce and factory farm slop they get at the general store and greasy spoon diner.
>>34651046Well its time to learn how to cultivate and raise your own foodMight come in handy one day considering the trajectory of this country
>>34651046When you live out of the way you need to buy bulk food because you can't go shopping daily. So you buy a car load of non perishable stuff from far away. Plus if you're lucky nearby you have farm stands and farmers markets.
>>34651046Farmers' markets
you can get potatoes, eggs, bell peppers, oranges and plain chicken in every grocery store anon...
Humans are an entirely failed species. All people live for is hypocrisy/lying/putting on fake shows every single day. Why should i bother with people?
>Why should i bother with people?You shouldn't. You're absolutely right, just give up and spend the next 40 years waiting to die like me. It isn't like actually trying will even make a difference anyway. You can only succeed in this world anymore if you're a lying backstabber. If you aren't willing to be one, why participate?
>>34651304>Humans are an entirely failed speciesFailed at what?
>All people live for is hypocrisy/lying/putting on fake shows every single day.Incorrect, autists general do not do this
>>34651304>Why should i bother with people?You shouldn't. You should kill them (go on a killing spree).
I'm not talking about lust or desire for sex. I (by miracle) found a really great partner who wants to do that with me. I mean creating a new human with someone.I balance with both videos of children being annoying and hard to take care of, the fact that it would be detrimental to both my own life and the partners (and probably the kids too, kinda crazy to have to exist), the repercussions to the body, and so on yet somehow it STILL creeps up on me. Somehow my brain justifies it all or just gets depressed about those realities and feels "heartbroken" sort of feeling. I recognize this is most likely a hormonal problem given it follows little logic. The issue with this desire is somehow it gets me really down on occasion that it's not happening. Seeing families or pregnancy tests or whatever makes me feel this strange sadness. I can try to cope by "well maybe someday!" but I'm just a retarded college student where the jurys out of I'll be able to manage all of those continued responsibilities. I'm never going to be able to afford it. They are also older than me and have somewhat limited time.The worst part of it is during sex when these thoughts start taking over and my brain starts begging for something to happen or that it's right and overrides any common sense. Protective measures (that cannot be disabled mid sex) are there but I just feel bad and don't want if it was not safe to encourage them to be irresponsible (as they have such thoughts on occasion too). It just sucks. It would be better to not have these feelings (obviously). Any ideas? I am very aware that this is pathetic.
>>34651247I'd factor in birth costs and pregnancy maintenance and multitude of checkups to make sure the baby is safe but you do make a good point. Even those have some avoidable aspects or programs you can get into. Truthfully, I am mostly parroting that from others as I figure given that I'm (relatively) outside of the expense bubble at the moment that they'd know better but internet dramatization is definitely a well known case. I think part of it is obviously if pregnancy occurs without intention that all of that is going forward without question and I've always figured in some senses that I can figure it out. It just maybe feels hard knowing that there's this non-existent being and I choose to bring them into existence and then may struggle in certain aspects or not provide them a comparative standard of care (which as you note with tribal women how it's not as if this is substantially bad and I'd certainly do more than them)... There's also always emergencies and I don't want to be unprepared but hopefully I could manage it. It is somewhat as you say though. It's not unavoidable. Other problems do exist but this may not be that great. I hope so.>>34651255I don't think it's wrong to want to procreate or really abnormal but I guess I can't see the same for myself. It just feels so out of place. I don't feel like I'm the type to be a mother. That is to say if there wasn't the biological imperative and instead this was all being judged by a rational individual that I would've never been given these feelings. I can obviously grow and change as a person, I just wonder how much. It would be awful of me to do as much and be some janky mother. It is natural though and makes sense biologically, it's true. I think my primary issue is probably shame which is something I need to work through. I appreciate your reply. Internal conflict is something I struggle with.
>>34651297It doesn't matter that you don't feel like you're the type to be a mother. Because you already demonstrate that you would make a fantastic mother. You know why? Because you spent your time dwelling on worrying about being a shit mom. That is proof you have what it takes. Bad parents don't give a shit and they don't care, period. But you care enough to not want to fuck it up. That's proof you actually care, and you care before the baby is even born too. That's mother material through-and-through.
>>34651303I hope so. I'll just need to get over internalized negativity towards the idea that I'm allowed to want that and it's not some embarrassing inferiority. Regardless of the outcome, it seems unwise to let myself be so mean to myself for wanting something which despite what societal circles that I've seemingly been ingrained in say isn't something weird. Posting things online can be helpful in this sense of realizing what is the more detrimental underlying concept even if I'm not cognizant of it. Thanks again for your input.
>>34651313That's the spirit. And no problem, have a good one
>>34651227The cause of your problem is not realizing that there are two ENTIRELY different species out there:1. children2. your children
since summer started ive done nothing but mope in my room, i have no friends, no real hobbies and no interest in leaving my house. due to my Asperger's and a traumatic brain injury i got at 8 i have a lot of trouble making friends irl and online (i am retarded). i feel hopeless and destined for a life of solitude,, i want more then anything to just have friends but like i said i can never seem to really make any. what should i do?? i put myself out there in discord servers and stuff but i always end up being ignored.. and ive pretty much given up on ever making friends irl.i dont want to spend another summer alone and depressed
same here. luckily a game release will make my life more interesting
What are your interests?
>>34651335i like my little pony and collecting toys. i also like watching youtube and drawing. sometimes i bake and i have 2 pet mice
>>34651299>>34651362There's no helping it then. You gotta take initiative and talk to people first. If you can, go to irl clubs or meetup.com events and try making friends with the people there.
>>34651383sigh
How can I get a thick gf?
>>34651115Awwww heelll naw, li'l sperg bro done with goon sesh and now he inspired to finna find a wife in what he gooned to lol daaamn bro rly let porn motivate his life bro down bad fr he outta pocket fo dat
>>34651115The same way you get any other girl. Be six feet, pack six inches, make six figures, and hope that she gives you a chance.
>>34651202Was this an ironic shitpost or are you serious
>>34651115Go talk to them. Most of the time they have some irrational goddess complex, but occasionally they're decent people.>>34651204Lurk moar for your answer
>>34651115Get any gf and make her fat
>Task is something I want to do>Task is something I enjoy doing>Task is something I can do easily>Task is something that I could do quickly>Task is something I could even make money off of>Still can't bring myself to do the task and get anxiety over starting it, and get the desire to do other things instead even when I do manage to start working on ithow do I fix this
>>34651246>how do I fix thisIDK i'll do it later.
>Match with half a dozen women over a few different dating apps>They are interested>Simple talks of what they like. Movies, music, etc>End up getting ghosted by all, usually within a day of talkingEvery single time. I know it’s because Chad swooped in, but how the fuck is one supposed to counteract that if they can’t be Chad? I’m like a 6.5/10. Is online dating really just this fucked? This isn’t even venting. It’s a genuine question, as to how one works around this. I’m never hiring a prostitute, and I am no longer in college. What does one even do in this situation? And no, I will not off myself. Kek.
Wanted to share this. Women are barely paying attention to this app and being complete flakes not caring a damn that you might only have matched with them, the women have hundreds of guys and are just fumbling them all because they don't even want a date. This is so frustrating.
>>34640255>I know it’s because Chad swooped inCorrection : you imagined this. Far more likely is that you have the ick aka dropped a load of spaghetti.
>>34649038He pulled them out of his ass.His basic point might be valid though - that the proverbial top 5% of men on dating apps could have 2-4 hook ups a week or 20-odd a month and that people on dating apps are make decisions based on very shallow criteria.The gold age of dating apps is long past at this point.
>>34650560It's not going to suddenly make you attractive. Quite the opposite actually. You always have to keep in mind that the reason you don't have success in online dating is because you are not good looking enough. Not because le evil app is hiding your profile or anything.
Incels really are homosexual for this imaginary "Chad", huh.
If I masturbate everyday, will that lower my risk of getting prostate cancer?I'm 40 and I love my penis. I would kill myself if anything were to ever happen to it.My penis is the very best of me.
>>34639021>My penis is the very best of me.Sadly, that is probably true.
>>34644738lol shut up you nigger
>>34639021I need to know this
>>34648243Like I really really need to know this
>>34639457just trust me on this and buy a rudeboy. you can milk yourself dry on anal flexion alone.
26 yo broke neet inkwell. Should I follow my passion and do a 3d animation degree or become a trucker?If the former, I can only get state funding for 2 years, and it's a 3 year course.
>>34649651Maybe become a trucker until you earn enough money to pay for the third year of an animation degree. That way, if you can't get an animation job, you can always go back to trucking
>>34649651I hear the arts are a good stable career
>>34649660Second this, art is a meme hobby and AI does it better. Indians, however, don't drive better.
obviously get a real job not some meme "degree"
>>34650364>>34650436I heared trucking is 'dead end' with no progression. Also my ex is unironically doing art for a job.
is there any way to really know? all i ever hear is "people who wouldn't usually bother will tell you" but wtf does that even mean? i feel like anyone i show is put under immense pressure to tell me its good
get feedback from people that aren't people that know you. countless fiction forums and reddits and everything else. post and see what score you get
>>34650875>i feel like anyone i show is put under immense pressure to tell me its goodThere's a writing general on /lit/. Whether those anons are worth listening to is up to you, but you might at least get some honest feedback.
So my right side is inflammed again and I dont know how to fix it. One of my tooth is exposed and the resr isnt looking too good as well.How do I fix damaged gums?
>>34645005This sometimes happens if you have high teeth and get braces that pull them in line with the others
>>34645786That's not a thing>>34645830Btw waterpik is a waterflosser as mentioned here >>34645214
>>34645786Yeah. My old dentist said that you need to brush the gums as well gently but I dont know about that
>>34645005do you floss after brushing?
>>34649756I dont but every time I brush there is some blood. I use mouthwash 2x a day whatsoever
