Hello everyone, happy Sunday.

Currently going through a minor quarter life crisis trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. I recently turned 27 and the thought that I can't waste anymore years has been slowly growing in my head. I currently work a normal desk job and make decent money (70k/yr). I'm at a dilemma right now trying to figure out what I want to do. Some options that have popped up...

1. Continue at my current job, but ask for a minor schedule change so I can coach youth sports in the fall/spring. This has the least impact on my current life.

2. Change careers and try to become a highschool teacher and then coach sports at that school as well. I fear that I will butt heads with the administration because I will not let certain kids ruin the experience for others by being a nuisance. And I will actually grade to what they turn in, not to No Child Left Behind.

3. Go to Law School. This is the biggest change, but also the chance to do the most change in the world. I am charismatic enough to be a politician and smart enough to get into a good law school. The only thing that scares me is being 30/31 after graduation and having to start fresh from there.

Interested to hear everyone's thoughts or if they have gone through a similar dilemma in their life.

If you kys you will no longer have to worry about ur pointless life and job.

>>34717838
Option 1. I teach high school and dealing with the shithead kids and following admin rules are an important part of the job, option 2 is just you telling me that you'll be fired.

28yo chicks are all taken. Women graduate at 23-24 from liberal arts stuff to become office ladies, they expect to have a fiance by the end of their degree so they can kickstart a family soon. If they don't get a college fiancee, they will take their boss or someone in their workplace. This happens as soon as within the first two months, cycle a relationship every two months or so.

If you're not looking for women in their early 20s, then nigga what are you doin? Wanna be a cuck or take a single mother?

Local laws will tell you about how much rent she has to skip, how much notice you must give her, etc.

As you are a professional renter ("One of my tenants") you should have a lawyer or rental agent to handle this for you.

How can I get my dick (not just my mind) to understand that I and this girl wouldn't make a great match? She's really sharp and she looks nice to hug and has a cute voice and all that but a big chunk of what either of us believe in would be repugnant to the other. I feel this is the last thing I have to do before I can finally move on from her
>>
>>34716181
It doesn't matter what she believes in if she's the woman, women don't actually care about ideology, to them it's just a coat or a dress, something you wear on your personality for a desired social status. The minute she figures out you are a source of security and consistent affection, she drops whatever ideology she has in her head and adopts yours. "If it's good enough for my man, it's good enough for me."

I've experienced it three times in my life, have male buds who report the same, I even saw one chick who was a turbo feminist pro-abortion liberal type who hated men. Now she's pregnant as shit, goes to church singing hallelujah because her man is a right wing Christian who gave her some security and respect.

Kys and convincing your dick will no longer be a problem

I am an International Affairs major in college, and I need to pick a language to study. I am stuck between Mandarin Chinese and Japanese. I am genuinely torn between these two options.

I appreciate both cultures, however I find Japanese to be more fun when it comes to Entertainment. Chinese on the other hand, seems far more useful, considering where the world is headed. I am a bit turned off by the typical western "Otaku" culture. I don't want to learn Japanese just for anime, but rather for possible future integration into their society.

From what little I've learned of both languages, I find Chinese has a harder introduction, (Tones/Symbols), with easier grammar. I REALLY love how simple Chinese grammar is.

I like the idea of living in japan in the future, however I cannot say China is necessarily somewhere I want to live (but maybe we'll see). I do, however, always end up meeting Chinese speakers here in the USA. There being about 10 times more Chinese speakers than Japanese speakers in the world also leverages me more to learn Chinese, I don't want to learn a language where I can't find anyone to speak with.

I do eventually plan on learning both, but when it comes to the language I must study for the next 6 Semesters, I am torn which to start with.

I really just need some advice here. I'm looking to see if there is anyone who has had experience with either of these languages, or has been in my shoes.

Maybe Japanese but really it's useless to learn either. The Chinese have legions of English speakers so they just use them for translating work. I had a friend years ago who was learning Chinese saying it'd be useful in the business world. He never needed it once.
>>
>>34706956
There was an entire thread several years ago dedicated to this guy's experience with being an American who learned Chinese in college, just story after story of how much it sucks to be working in China with the Chinese. Which is more than likely where you'll end up if you tell your employer you speak Chinese.

Pic rel is me on my dating app (the quality is better on my profile, one photo is with a dog).
IDK why, but like 2-3 months ago I was getting at least 1 response ped 10 sent messages at minimum, sometimes 5 per 10 at best.
Now I sent 40 messages and only 1 conversation started out of these. IDK what changed.
I literally texted women I'd say are way below my looksmatch and I'm getting NOTHING. (I can text without a match on this app)
Should I just give up or become gay? Why are women such whores for not giving me a chance?
If it matters, I went out on dates with a few women this year, kissed with two and had sex with two. But no relationship material.

I've made it. I've become a normalfag. After years of reading books, lurking here and learning from you anons, challenging myself and fucking up countless of times, I can now talk to women, have a gf and live a happy life.

However, I still cannot look in the mirror and call myself handsome.
My gf tells me that I'm handsome, and that I'm very attractive, but those are empty words to me.
My girlfriends tell me I'm good looking and that some of their girl friends are interested in me, and I still don't believe it.
I need constant validation from low value women to tell me I'm handsome and fuckable, even though rationally I know that I am.

How do I internalize that I've made it? How do I tell this autistic brain that I'm enough?

Everywhere I go when they notice me they do sudden involuntary movements like push their hair back or touch their head.

It makes me feel weird and self conscious like I’m in the Truman show and can potentially put me in danger since women do this involuntarily in front of their boyfriends or husband.

I’ve thought about wearing a mask but that aside from looking suspicious it will draw even more attention. Thoughts on what to do here? I like walking innawoods the best but live in an area where I can’t do that everyday to unwind and have to participate in society.

I've been insulted in so many ways and in so manh things, whether it is work, a videogame, math homework, my finances my love choices, everything... even for being a foreigner without anything to return to, I literally own nothing, I owe some money just to pay bills, but the worker permit expired... I don't have the strength to keep going... why is everyone so aggresively rude against me... I said hello to a woman one time last week while i was walking with my dog and yelled at me "I am not interested in you disabled idiot!" like what the hell man!? I can't take it anymore.. like I may get mad at people when they yell at me but like i do not yell back or at them for no reason... or call them names.. like "little faggot" at work in spanish by an old black guy for no reason... even at home I get yelled at for wanting to save up for something I want or need.... I have had norhing but discouragement and people tellling me I have anger issues when they are the instigators... by giving me orders as if I worked for them, when I am busy, but when I ask for help it is largely ignored, and instead mocked. Like what the actual fuck man... what is wrong with people now... everyone is just so hostile everywhere I go, and I do nothing to them or say anything about them or talk them in any bad way, I literally just say "hey how's it going" and get met with "oh god no" and they leave... wtf...

One quick fix may be to wear a bag around over your head. Paper bag with two holes. If anyone asks you to take it off, then they can't be upset at how you look because they asked you to take it off. After not too long, nobody will ask you to take the bag off and everyone will start appreciating you at lot more since you are so appreciative to them by wearing the bag over your head everywhere. Girls will soon find you sweet and mysterious and one day one will come back how and ask you to remove the bag and kiss you before putting it back on

I'm not responsible for other people's schizophrenia. When the interpol kicks my door down and points guns at me because I made fbi's most wanted list because I played csgo a couple times, I just shrug and think "I'm not responsible for other people's schizophrenia." Words can't describe how fucked up and insane people are in the head.

As for the woman that thought you want to rape her because you said hello. You shouldn't have been there in the first place. Try to spend as much time away from people as possible. Only interact with people if completely necessary. And always carry a self protection weapon. The end goal here is to have enough money to be able to not interact with any people at all.

It sounds like you live in a city where women get hit on by a lot of foreigners they are not interested in. That’s why they assume you are trying to ask them for a date when you say hello to them. In the US, most people know that you don’t just talk to random people on the street.

>what do I gain from that?
Probably nothing. Ideally, someone will walk up and say something like “I like your shirt” or “Infinite Jest? How interesting” and this gives you the opportunity to engage further. I’ve had a couple of times I’ve been reading in a cafe and people have for some reason taken that as an opportunity to ask me about what I was reading, maybe because they found the cover interesting and they wanted to know more, maybe because they’d read the book as well and they’re happy to see someone else reading it.

A couple days ago, I entered the cafeteria section of my local grocery store. There was an elderly man wearing the most ridiculous hat. It was huge, like a ten gallon or a sombrero, and it was covered in tiny fake brightly colored birds. White and bright pink and blue and yellow. It looked like he was wearing a mardi gras parade float on his head, but this was a random thursday. There was nothing else remarkable about this old man. In the course of me eating my lunch and buying my groceries, I noticed at least two different people approach this man to ask him about his hat and then to just start talking to him. He didn’t even seem like he was trying that hard to engage, they were carrying the conversations after he gave them some short initial answer. One of these people was a redhead qt half this guy’s age. I wouldn’t have the balls to wear a hat that crazy but I gotta admit the principle of it works if your main goal is to get attention from strangers.

You have to go to an arranged event where people gather for the purpose of meeting other people. The previous post mentioned such several events. Such events offer a safe, managed environment and less unpredictability so that it’s easier to find people to connect with. Approaching a random person in a cafe is not recommended unless you are good looking.

Are serial cheaters sick in the head? Just found out one of my closest friends had been cheating on his gf for years with multiple women; some of these girls were girlfriends, others were one night stands, others were escorts. He had been living with his "official" girlfriend for almost two years and she only found out because she went through his phone. She then told all of his friends, including me. I'm very close to him and never suspected anything; he was living a double life. She got in contact with some of these women and said they're odd and/or vulnerable.

Would you say people who do that have some sort of psychiatric condition? Of course I can understand why would people cheat on their partners, but in this case this seems to be like a compulsive or obsessive behavior. She says he wants her to forgive him, like he doesn't understand the seriousness of this situation. What do you think? Do you have any experience dealing with people like that?

IDK you tell me, foid.
>>
>>34712366
People cheat for many reasons so unless you can pinpoint the reason(s) why you can't assume they have a psychiatric condition. I've cheated and it was mainly due to me prioritizing my own desires and interests but there was always a catalyst in the relationship that made me that way. I guess it has a "revenge" aspect to it as well since I feel justified when I do it.

For example, there's some bad things that happened to me in my current long term relationship that I found out was caused by my gf manipulating me, who then treated me like shit and blamed me for everything even though it wasn't my fault and it was all her doing in order to push her wants and desires. I found this out years after once she came clean about how she was like during the early years of our relationship. It broke me as a person but even at that point I still tried to make it work. Over time other stuff started coming out and it got to the point where I felt like an idiot who wasted 8 years of his life. She felt bad and guilty about those things but I can tell a part of her still felt justified doing things the more we talked about it. Once I realized that, it made me so angry I wanted to explode but then a feeling of hatred for her began and I stopped caring about those things she had hurt me with over the years. I'm pretty much going to use her for all she's worth while having my fun on the side until either I want to leave or she can't give no more. I feel like a faggot saying this but I want to be her karma for the fucking bullshit she did to me and our relationship. Maybe she won't ever find out and we live "happily ever after" but I won't change nor will feel any kind of guilt or regret.

>>34712563
>combination of the three above are the main culprits
you get it

I've been caught before and I kept doing it. I feel like a dog without self discipline or agency when I see a possibility to get away with it. I want to fuck different types of women and I love the validation that comes with them being down to fuck

At once point I had 2 gfs. I fucked them both on the same day without them knowing it

Some girls are attuned and can tell when a man's breath scent has been altered by another woman

other women are much less perceptive

Is it weird to start college at 22? My life has been completely fucked the past few years and I haven't been in an environment where I can get anything done. I was enrolled in college courses but I fucked that up due to avoidant tendencies and other personal issues

Another reason I want to go back is because I want to meet new people and make friends (and have sex with women) Would it be weird for me to do? I feel very self conscious about my life trajectory in relation to my peers and I just feel like everyone would look at me like I'm an odd retard

No, as long as you're not a fuck up. I went to college at 20 and it was cool to be slightly older, although I'd barely call 18 and 20 an age gap. It's literally the same.

There was a red head girl, 19, fantastic body and tits who liked older Guys. When she found out I was older than her she wanted me. But me, being a social freak who was incompetent, had become one of those losers who chased Asian women cos they'll accept you. I told her I only date Asian women so nothing happened.

Decades later I realised what a catastrophic fuck up I'd made and I want to go back in time and fucking beat the shit out of myself for that until I'm hospitalised. Asian women are shit.
