I know that this probably belongs to /fit/, but I'd rather ask this here anyway:
I'm planning on losing weight, instead of asking some advice i'd really like to hear some experiences of people that have lost a lot of weight and how did they do it. I'd really appreciate it

I deleted all of my social media accounts, besides Facebook, which I am keeping so I can keep for messaging. Will I be as happy as this man?

Why is it that the more emotion and vulnerability you show to a girl the more she turns you away, when supposedly they want "emotional availability"? How do I do this?

Two of my former best friends blocked me on Facebook. I'll probably never see either of them again. How am I supposed to deal with this?

Teach me how to be a stronger male, /adv/.

I'm talking about just improvement advice. I want to be more intelligent (which I've been reading books), get to lifting, running, dealing with addiction (recently got off the booze and alcohol. Its been two weeks) and just become the alpha male that my gf deserves.

Tl;dr, help me in preventing myself into becoming a person like Jerry in Rick and Morty.

Some background:

Just bought a house on a private road. My property line extends to the middle of the road in front of my house.

There is a lean on it. But the only people it applies to are city and utility employees and other people who live on this street.

Lately the renters across the street, who live across from my private road have been parking in front of my house. I have asked them to stop once before, and they did.

But tonight after I got off work, one of them was parked not just in front of my house, but where I park my car everyday. So I'm really pissed.

It's late and I figure they're asleep. So I decide to be cheeky. I use my 2 cars and I parked them in. I figure this way if they want to use it they will be forced to talk to me about moving my cars first.

Before, I asked them nicely not to park in front of my car. I feel like this will give me a good starting position to the confrontation. I plan to say they are basically trespassing on my property and if they don't stop parking in front of my house I will have their cars towed at their expense.

Legally, the law is on my side. And I'm sick of their barely running junker being parked in front of my house.

I don't care if family or friends park in front of my house for an evening for a holiday or party. That's totally understandable to me as that's just neighborly. But they started parking in front of my house for 2 weeks in a row before I asked them to stop the first time.

And yesterday there were 3 cars parked out there all night. And tonight was just the last straw.

So I guess, I want to know what you would do in this position? Am I doing the right thing or the immature thing? I really feel like they are crossing a line (literally and figuratively: my property lines), and I don't want to be a pushover on my own property I paid for.

I'm bored, so I'm making my own thread for you all to prance about in.

I've had a lot of time to think about the stuff you never got the chance to. If you'd only ask, I'd share with you the solution to your problem(s). I've dealt with a lot of stuff, belonging to me, and friends, so why not you too?

If that's too much for you to handle, I guess I could tell you guys about MY problems, and how I've forgotten about most of them.

I don't hate, or judge, or abuse.
Good luck

I just want to find a nice girl to dump my love into (no second meaning intended, I just want to cuddle)

I have a question /adv/
What should i do if my girlfriends dad fucking hates me for being white? I have yo go back over this weekend and it's starting to bug me.

We've been dating for 4 months and talking to eachother as friends for the past year and a half? Meet him for the first time last week (hispanic) and he immediately gave me the cold shoulder and seemed to have a problem with me, my girl felling embarrassed took me up to her room (we are 18) and she told me how he dislikes blacks and whites, we then chilled in her room for the remaining time i was over. Her mom treated me decently but her dad always gives me a shitty look everytime we are in the same room. I really like her alot but there is no way in hell i can be around someone like that for too long before i tell him off.
Should i break up with her and save the heart ache before it gets to that point? Or should i just suck it up. And if any of you have been in a similar experience, how did you handle it?

I have always loved milfs/grannies, and finally decided it's time to look for one.

How can I meet some older women? I am 18, so I can't go out to bars.
I feel like a lot of them will think I am too young for them.

Hey Guys, so I found a litter of baby kittens in my grandmas back yard when I was cleaning up. They were probably born 2-3 days ago, I saw the mom but she ran off. My grandma hates cats and if she could she'd set poison out for them. With no choice I took them and my friend offered to take care of them. She bought kitten formula, and now shes freaking out because some of them wont eat that much. Now I feel bad.... We could try to catch the mom, or risk taking them back and hopefully a raccoon doesn't eat them. I need help >_>.

I have a deep feeling of loneliness. I graduated High School this year, and am going onto college. Despite how my future is somewhat promising, I can't shake the feeling of being alone. All of my friends have someone special in their lives. My closest friend got in a relationship last year and he's barely even talked to me since. I'm slowly losing everyone I use to be friends with, and I have no one to fill that void.

I have a lot of love to give. My personal experiences have damaged my emotions to the point where I'm basically as emotional as a brick. I'm not happy, I'm not sad. I feel empty, like just a hollow shell of a person.

I had a girlfriend in Sophomore year, but that didn't last long (a whole 2 weeks, wow), since I found out she cheated on me with 3 different guys in the span of those 2 weeks. I didn't do anything wrong. I talked to her regularly, we spent time together, and enjoyed each other's company (or so I thought).

Fast forward into Junior Year and that's when things began to go downhill for me. There was some girl one of my friends tried to hook me up with, but all she did was fuck with my emotions. Eventually I shut everyone out for a while, and tried to reflect. I thought I was doing well through out the day, but when it came to night and I laid in my bed, I couldn't shake the overly critical voice in my head telling me I'll never be good enough.

Now senior year wasn't great for me in the slightest. I was fucking miserable and literally every girl thought I was a fucking creep because I asked 2 different girls out in the span of a month. Teenagers are fucking cruel to people that are vulnerable I've learned.

Now here we are. The voice is still in my head, telling me the same tune. I've learned to accept it, and know he's right.

My question is not how to feel worthy of being with people again, because I've accepted that, and that will never change, but rather how to deal with the soul crushing feeling of that loneliness and emptiness.

People keep telling me, even my Councillor, to "Stop paying attention to what people say", "Stop trying to be perfect", "It's okay to make mistakes" , but when I do fuck up on things, I'll always get backlash for it and I can't stand it. I get so worried being careful and try to do what Im told because I can't stand people telling me Im a fuck up. When I do hear them telling me that, I can't help but agreeing with it. If I do the wrong thing, how can I get mad for them to tell me why I fucked up? For example

1) Driving: I have YET to try to get a licences because I scared of taking the test & failing. Even if I did succeed, too scared to drive. I don't wanna either getting into car accidents then I'll die, kill/injure someone, smash into someones property, cause traffic, Or be sued or yelled at by someone if I did something wrong on the road. That's too much responsibility.

2: No Gf: I have probably asked out like 8 women in my life, all rejected me. Most of the women I crush on I can't even look in the face because how weird/beta I get when Im around them. I try my best to understand women, but I feel like it's just better to stay single because I don't see what I can offer. Why should I try hard to find a partner? Women always get unwanted attention from men all day. In a way I sympathize with them because I used to be like that.

My job: I work as a prep cook at a restaurant, Once in a while I get told be quick. I can be quick but it isn't all the time for me. Sometimes Ill be in the zone or get tired in the mornings. I do have fears of being fired for not being a good employee. been fired in 5 places last year. It's been long & dreadful finding new ones. It differently harder when my family gets mad at me for not having money to pay bills.

So, /adv/, I have a question of opinion for those of you who might have medical expertise.
Back in February, I hooked up with this girl in my college. We had dated a bit and had sex. Nothing about her seemed off.
About two weeks later, I had a sudden illness. Within the span of a few hours I went from feeling good to feeling tired and achy (this was on a Friday.) By Sunday morning, I had a 102° fever, and the week thereafter was speckled with a bunch of symptoms; sore throat and difficulty eating, off and on fever, joint and muscle aches, runny nose, dry cough, and sneezing.
My question is, should I be worried that I might have acquired herpes or something? I never had sores, and have never developed them. I had no symptoms after that week, save maybe a mild cough the week after.
We had safe sex, unless it was oral. (Her->Me. A very stupid thing to do, in retrospect.) She looked fine and claimed to be in good health, with few previous sexual partners. I'm thinking I probably had the seasonal flu.

Any thoughts? Should I see a doctor, maybe get tested? Everything I read about herpes describes symptomatic or asymptomatic - you either have all the symptoms, or you don't. No in-between.
