Hey...I'm trying to earn $80 in the easiest way in real life. Coins, cash, whatever, I just need it.

How can I do that? Originally I thought selling low cost items by $1, but I don't even know where I'd get the supply.

How do I have fun without alcohol? I’m in my mid-20s and I’ve been sober for 90 days. I used to party a lot at the bars but I don’t do that anymore. Can’t go back because that could cause a relapse. I’m trying to find fun things to do where I can meet people, but it’s hard to find an outlet that doesn’t involve bars or drinking.

Not sure if you're religious but church young adult groups have little if any drinking and the atmosphere at most events is not "party" so even if there are drinks you won't be pressured. Good place to meet wifey material too
And just fyi "young" adults usually means up to mid 30s, so you'll be good
>>
I'm sober for 10 months right now. A month or two ago I was able to finally handle going to a bar and not drinking. It was for a band/music event and I've been back 3 times since. So you can eventually get over that and drink diet coke or something but make sure there is a good other reason to be there to distract from drinking like music. I don't think it would work in a grimy dive bar with no entertainment.

Also it wasn't a bar I ever drank at before that probably made it easier.

How are you guys staying in long-term relationships without checking out or getting bored? It's all over after the honeymoon phase
4 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
There are two paths:

1. You've had kids, and despite growing apart or bored with one another, you stay together for the sake of your kids' wellbeing. Or, if no kids, you just might have a web of financial arrangements (mortgage, jobs) and social connections (friends, church, sports, clubs, etc) that would be honestly too much of pain to disrupt. So you remain together in a dull, but easy sort of "roommates" relationship that isn't fulfilling, but isn't unbearable either. Your relationship goes from a loving bond to two people living separate lives in the same home.

2. You start swinging because new and exciting experiences energize you and actually lead to deeper levels of intimacy and trust (if done correctly). At first it seems like a betrayal of everything you've believed about relationships up to this point, but ultimately it's the only path forward that doesn't involve hoping you're living in a fairytale where you magically remain interested and satisfied eating the same flavor of ice cream every day for the next 40 years.

How do I stop being blackpilled when everyone looks at virgin men as weak losers that can't get pussy. I keep getting depressed the more the "can't get bitches" ridicule gets spread across the current zeitgeist. I keep telling myself that I'm a loser and a failure and that the time where it's okay to be a virgin is long gone (I'm 28 btw) because of the outside world. Everyone I know tells me that confidence is key but I know that I will never like myself because of ridicule from past and current times. It just adds up that I will never be a hot guy to women.

I honestly thank god I lost my virus at 19 and it confirmed I wasn't a true loser, no offense but not getting any pussy is a very unfortunate experience.

>everyone looks at virgin men as weak losers that can't get pussy.
But you yourself agree with them and think of yourself the same way, which is your biggest problem. As you go on to admit here:
>I keep telling myself that I'm a loser and a failure
>I know that I will never like myself
This is becoming a classic self-fulfilling prophecy for you. Because of the negative self-talk and the energy you're putting out, you have allowed your actions to fall in line with this low opinion of yourself and, whether you realize it or not, you are eliciting that same reaction from other people as well. The negative self-talk has to end OP. That doesn't mean you jump right into delusional sunshine and rainbows, but bring it up to at the very least some neutrality.
That said, without delving into your circumstances, I'm sure there's a lot of things you could have been doing differently. You might want to get moving on that, while also learning to forgive and like yourself.
Basically, what I'm telling you to do is to start doing more while also caring less (equally important). That may well be easier said than done, but nevertheless that's the road map for you to get out of hell.

>They were just nice people and sooner or later someone nice found them. It's really that simple
So, they had good luck, basically. If luck wasn’t on their side (which it isn’t for most men who get to their 30s lonely), they’d have been fucked, because they didn’t actually make any big changes to create opportunity in the first place.
>>
>>33876395
>So, they had good luck
Well, it is and it isn't. People frequently create their own luck.
Look at what you quoted. "they were nice people and sooner or later someone nice found them". Ok, that may seem like luck to someone who is not in their position. But these "lucky" people did two things that many of the people on this board complaining have not. They made themselves into nice/cool/likable people to begin with, and then they inserted themselves into a position where someone could meet them at all just by going out and doing stuff with or around people.
Luck is often said to be just where preparedness meets opportunity. The annoying unlikable guy who just sits and seethes on 4chan is neither prepared nor does he have opportunity, so it's a logical outcome that he never gets as "lucky" as some of the success stories you see or read about.

Partake of the drink and make crude remarks to the vampiric wench.

Linger not in corners like a damned specter. Place thyself where cheer and talk flow. Stand near the bar or wherever folk gather, that others may approach with ease. If a talk groweth dull, part with grace. Say, It was a pleasure to speak with thee. I shall wander yonder for a spell. Mayhap our paths cross again.
Thus thou departest without slight or awkwardness. Above all, savor the night. If thou leave with but one hearty laugh, one pleasant exchange, or one small memory that warms thee later, then the evening shall not be lost!

Be very very careful not to drink too much. That is when the fat/ugly women prey. Went to a party last year and got to a point where I was feeling pretty groovy. Completely stepped out of "me" and chatting with strangers, vibing in the crowd, the whole extrovert package. Towards the end, some fat chick cornered me on a bar stool and was feeling up my arms. Fortunately, the second her foopah met my knee, my survival instincts kicked in and I was stone-cold sober again, allowing a hasty retreat into the safety of night.

Why is it so hard to face people?
How can people go out into the world and not be scared to death of people?
How can people go on in the ruthless onslaught of the human world? Constantly being judged, constantly demanded to perform, walking on a razors edge. One small mistake, one little slip up, and you'll be thrown out like yesterdays trash. Mercilessly sorted. Never safe. Every day like this.

I won't read freaks.

It has been over 2 years since this girl who I haven't really recovered from yet told me I was clingy and annoying and we haven't really talked too well to each other around that time since also. This and the fact that she has a girlfriend now doesn't bother me as much as it used to, now that I have a decent social cushion in law school, she and her girlfriend are also busy with law school and aren't going around visiting art galleries and seeing waterfalls, and I have a better idea of what I want to do with my life (part of which is not being a lawyer). I still stalk her and her girlfriend's TikToks however.

Part of why I find my situation more bearable now is that one of the girls in my class looks like her (pic related offers an idea of what they look like). I'm not sure what I would be doing if she didn't have a boyfriend at present, but I do think of the girl I mentioned earlier just to scare me from doing anything that could end in things going sour. And besides, I'm not really thinking about getting a girlfriend at the moment, with me having the mindset that things will just fall into place and if I can't manage to have a successful romantic relationship, that's fine. Better to be alone than in a relationship where none fit each other, as would have been the case if ever I did manage to be with that girl anyway.

I think the only downside to this is that I can't jack off without porn since I don't have faces that I can fantasize about without hesitation. Other than that I think I'm doing much better than I used to.

what do people mean when they say they "click" with someone? what sorts of things do you have to talk about to have chemistry? is it always the same or can "clicking" with someone mean different things? I think it's been years since I've had an "easy" conversation, I always have to force myself to talk and I feel so scared, I don't know what to do. I'm talking to a guy online right now and I really want to try to build a real connection with him, but all I can think about is how I need to make sure he likes me, how I need to figure out what I need to do to not seem boring or weird, etc. It's so painful.
>>
"clicking" is basically having a best friend that you can fuck at any moment.
Not in a platonic sense, but in a romantic sense.
My last girlfriend we could take about Warframe and builds for weapons/characters, autistically with math calculcations then proceed to send Warframe rule34 to each other and then masturbate together.
That is as "clicky" as it gets.

>all I can think about is how I need to make sure he likes me, how I need to figure out what I need to do to not seem boring or weird, etc.
Ok 2 things:
1. you are obviously not "clicking"
2. you are a girl, stop stressing because he will like you anyway no matter what you do or say because you are dating in 2025
>>
>>33872871
Two part answer:
1) Clicking means you quickly grasp that the opposite person is compatible with you. In particular when you've got a strong personality that means you'll get good at sniffing out people who can be your allies, friends etc.
2) Social things, (like almost everything for that matter), are like a muscle. You've got to hit the gym to get stronger. You're having a tough time because you've spent too much time on your computer instead of exercising your social muscle.

Not true. It doesn't matter the medium in which you meet the person you love. You learn who they are by spending time with them on video discord calls, texting with them, hanging out with them and then the distance is bridged. That is when you were in person. The path is clear forward. As long as love is true

Recruiters get 100s of online resumes. Half of them look good, and with ChatGPT they all look decent. Sadly, most new openings are offered first and foremost to employees already inside the company, or prospects have their resumes hunted down by people who know them and already have a track record of the potential new employee.

You need experience. A paper trail that proves your commitment and expertise. And proves that you havent been unemployed for shady reasons.

Theres no hard and proven advice in this job market. On some level everyone gets lucky. Try to dazzle your potential job prospects by writing personalized cover letters, and try to message people directly instead of relying on indeed.com

Have a portfolio of your work if you actually make stuff, and try to come off as the perfect candidate for the job. Some people want a jolly person, some want a team player, some just posted the offer to pretend theyre not gonna hire the boss's son, but sending 100 resumes is like always swiping right on Tinder without thinking. Ultimately a bad practice.

I really don’t get this. 99% of women never pay attention to me. I have to talk to them first for them to talk to me. But if I go to the suburbs I get approached by really pretty white women at cafes. It honestly shocked me. I go to a public college and work like most of my peers so I guess we’re all struggling and have no energy to pursue dating. But still, the experience is like night and day.

>Its actually even worse that you can't get pussy in the ghetto.
Not OP. I went to middle school in the ghetto. I was bullied in school and on the way back home from school. My life consisted of being depressed and playing counter-strike to release frustration. Later I transferred to a better school. I found friends, graduated high school and in college multiple girls have asked me out and eventually I found my wife there. If you don't belong in the ghetto, it is not "easier" to get pussy there at all.

>>
>>33873629
Really pretty women in suburbs are in the suburbs. In a non-fast paced enviroment where they can really make use of the "3rd place" and meet people. You, on the other hand, are at a place where students are thinking 100 different things about school, part time jobs, how theyre broke all the time, and leftover hormones.

Its not about the ghetto. Its about the way of life of the cafe's clientele.

Stop being unlikeable.
>>
>>33875203
You aren't unlikable. Go outside more, and go to the same places more often. Friendship is made through frequency and the intensity of interactions. Male friends respect you more if you can cover them for help, I don't know about female friends, but cover them through speaking/comforting them? Anyway, just speak to people more, ask about them, or their experiences, and it naturally comes about.

There are plenty of people who are unlikeable. On the one hand, someone very worried about being unlikeable seems unlikely to be a douche. But in this particular case we're dealing with someone who's looking to purposely use people to acquire something he wants.
