So I'm age 26 now. Normally during this time in an American's life, people have already finished their master's degree and moving on to starting a family and perhaps a business or a new job.
I'm here starting from square one going back to college to change career into mechanical engineering.
>howfuckedami.jpg
I feel like I goofed off the majority of my twenties, jumping from career to career to get my feet wet but not fulfilling my final choice. I feel old as fuck now and but at the same time too young to to really be of any merit to society or even have simple ownership of my own home or means of self-sustainability.
Living with my parents as I have never had enough financial stability to live on my own. Feel like an hero because I'm like a missile that never even got off the launch pad. How'd you guys do in life?

>Normally during this time in an American's life, people have already finished their master's degree and moving on to starting a family and perhaps a business or a new job.
Uh, I'm pretty sure that this isn't the typical American life. You say that like everyone has a masters degree, which is simply not true
Actually, that seems to be the root of your problem: you are very misguided about what you should be doing and what you should have achieved by now.
>>18338183
Most of my friends have at the least gotten their degrees and are in their respective industries now at my age. I feel left out when they ask me
>hey anon so we're here
>where are you at now?
I feel late to a party I wasn't invited, which never happened to begin with.
>>18338188
The thing is, now, more than ever, there is no set timeline you have to follow. Just because they're doing one thing, doesn't mean that you have to follow the same timeline.
And in the end, there's not much you can do about things that have already happened. Crying about how you've lost time isn't going to let you go back and start over. You are where you are, and all you can do is move forward.
Okay /adv/, I'm in a sticky situation, or rather I'm about to be. I have three potential candidates to make my gf and I'm not sure which to keep. I've gone out with candidates 1 and 2, and I'm set to go out with candidate 3 later this week. All three are engaging with me and seem interested in moving forward. So let's begin:
(1/4)
Candidate 1:
(AKA the loads of mindblowing sex option)
Pros:
>huuuuuge tits and quite thicc: seems like she would be a lot of fun to fuck
>somewhat sexually naive: wants to live out her trashy romance novels in real life
>high sex drive
Cons:
>Dumb as a brick
>Seems a little bit trashy/ untrustworthy
>17 year old high school senior (she originally lied about her age, but it's legal in this state so whatever)
>seems the least engaged of the three, but she could just be shy
Candidate 2:
(AKA the middle of the road option)
Age 19
Pros:
>high school crush
>moderately attractive
>reasonably intelligent
Cons:
>has rejected me in the past and interest seems to fluctuate
>has a reputation for being slightly emotionally tempermental
Candidate 3:
(AKA the good personality option)
Age 19
Pros:
>very intelligent
>very engaged with great social chemistry
>has similar interests and personality traits
>former blonde
Cons:
>least attractive of the three (this picture is a lot better than the others)
>have yet to meet her in person, so there's still technically time for her to back out
Overall, I think the best path would be to stall with 2 and 3, fuck 1 a few times, dump 1, keep 2 on standby in case 3 backs out, then ultimately go with 3. What do you guys think?
Yes, I know I'm being an outrageous asshole, but I've been through some real bullshit lately so I've earned this. No, this is not a thing that I have done before or intend to repeat.
Advice extremely needed... have nowhere else to turn...
Pictures in comments is the story.
TLDR: Girlfriend who I moved countries to live with is toxic and killing me emotionally.. don't know what to do, will lose so much if I break-up. Love her so much though..
Part 2
>>18337347
>>18337345
Part 3
Either confront her about it and try to make her change her ways and if she doesn't dump her
or just dump her
>Texting qt 8/10
>Tell her she's the prettiest girl I know
>"You're cute anon"
>Tell her I think its bad to be called cute by a girl
>"Oh no it's not bad"
>Trying to think of something to say back
>Another message from her
>"I mean you are cute, but I'd also fuck you"
>Tell her I fuck her too
What do I do from here? Approach with caution? I mean I do wanna fuck her of course but I care about her (gay I know). I think I want something more.
>>18337116
>What do I do from here?
Seek immediate treatment for your severe autism.
Why do you want to storytime her on what's considered good compliments to give you? This is probably a good woman in the making, or else she wouldn't be giving a free pass at being sincere.
If you want to get with this girl, stop telling her the stuff you ought to be showing her. She already knows you want to fuck her, so it's time you treat her like someone you care about. And I don't mean buying her food and gifts.
>>18337116
Shut the fuck up and invite her over for netflix and a drink.
What's a good way to show a girl I don't want to have anything to do with her without being blunt?
In short, I used to be very close sith this girl but she lied to me and it was quite a big lie, I kept trying to forgive her bot she kept fucking up and screwing up our relationship more and more. A few days ago it reached a breaking point, we havent spoken for a week besides the usual hi and bye. Only thing that still ties me to her is a folder I have of hers, and I want to return it in such a way that will both show her that that's it, there will be no more friendship or even acquaintance between us. I also don't want to make it public or loud, I just want to give it such a way that says I don't give a shit about you anymore and you can fuck right off.
Also, I know that she still wants to be friends with me so I am thinking maybe I could make her think that we would go somewhere and talk and maybe understand each other only to be dusappointed by the fact that I'm just giving her the folder and leaving.
OP wants to make a girl cry, help salty OP
>>18337052
What's more important to you, hurting the bitch or helping yourself? No, these are not the same thing, pick one.
>A few days ago it reached a breaking point, we havent spoken for a week besides the usual hi and bye
What in the fuck is the usual hi and bye? If you dont have anything to say, keep it to yourself
>Only thing that still ties me to her is a folder I have of hers, and I want to return it in such a way that will both show her that that's it, there will be no more friendship or even acquaintance between us
Give her the folder, say bye and keep up with your life. Seriously, unless she becomes suicidal if you cut the relationship (which already sounds like a shitty one) dont give much thought to it. You probably got a life in front of you, and like the song goes "Enjoy yourself, Its later than you think"
>>18337071
>>18337083
This, just let her go OP, life will probably run a check on her, like it does to all of us. Just focus on your life, and how to live it.
q for males: I am 20 and never masturbated with my hand, only humping pillows. so my foreskin is too tight, it hurts to pull it back and won't go down past the tip. how do i loosen it up?
>>18336945
Pretty sure that has nothing to do with how you masturbate. It's called phimosis, I believe there are stretches you can do to loosen it up but I'd do a lot of research or see a doctor before attempting too much.
Q-tips if it is too tight, use a medically prescribed steroid cream and pull it a bit every day when bathing
I have a similar problem: my foreskin is really sensitive in the inside part between the bend and the head, and it gets really irritated after I masturbate or fuck. I've gone to the doctor and have used two tubes of steroid creans already, and while it really helps with healing, it doesn't seem to be making the skin any tougher and less prone to irritation. Does anyone know how to make the skin thicker? Proper hygiene is given and even lubrication won't avoid it entirely
>>18336945
You have a condition i forgot the name to.
You need to go to the doctor, there they will help you and give you the excercises you will need.
The excercises include masturbation btw
>Help a girl once
>Text a bit
>Suddenly stopped writing with me
>it's been 2 weeks
I don't think she is that busy, am I right guys?
haha...
Try to ignore them first. Talk to them a bit than all of a sudden stop texting for a day or 2 than text again. It makes you seem mysterious and busy.
>>18336659
Just because you helped her once doesn't mean she owes you anything. She just has no interest in chatting with you, time to move on.
>>18336680
My message was the last one
>>18336683
It's not fair
Boyfriend has trouble coming. We regularly go 3-5 rounds with nothing. He is for sure attracted to me. He is stressed with college. I can't think of anything else that could contribute... Pic is from last night. He got me to do coke for the 1st time. Hes about a 1x month user if thats relevant. He did a line off my ass.
Your bf seems like a great guy.
>>18336521
that's not too abnormal. he'll probably cum more consistently over time. for some guys sex isn't totally about the orgasm. just don't think of it as a problem and it won't be one. do what you can to make him cum, but don't feel like a failure if you can't, just be down to try.
Nice ass. Idk what to tell you. I'd probably focus on what you can do to make him want you. What are your physical attributes?
One of the reasons that I broke up with my girlfriend was that she would always cuddle with other people, including multiple guys, one of which was her ex boyfriend. She justified this by saying that cuddling is an activity that when done between friends, has no sexual connotations and is done for comfort, meanwhile I see it as something that is incredibly sexually charged and intimate, and doesn't belong anywhere but between two romantic partners.
Who is right here?
You. Shouldn't even be a question really. Cuddling is some intimate shit.
>>18336448
It is not inherently sexual.
I cuddle my mom and my grandma all the time. I do sometimes have some level of physical contact with my friends friends (head on shoulder, arm around shoulders, arm around waist) but it is rare.
Different people have different boundaries, tho - even if she didn't see it as a sexual activity, she shouldn't have done it because it bothered you.
Cuddling means different things to different people. Some people cuddle more freely than others and they truly do it for comfort. That said, cuddling an ex after you asked her to stop is going to far. If nothing else, she does not respect your boundaries.
ITT: Ask the opposite gender anything

Fuck off
Do I deserve these troll answers?
Ladies
Why are so many of you narcissistic, braindead and think men can read minds? Are you actually all this fucking stupid?
>>18336262
Who hurt you, anon? What happened to you?
I can orgasm but it's very weak, not even worth masturbating for.
I stopped masturbating for 7 months and it didn't help
Also tried edging
Is there anything else I can do?
>>18336235
do you happen to live in LONDON?
>>18336242
Yes
>>18336245
that's a shame, I don't.
I am 168 cm and I went from 90 to 60 kg (5'6", 200 to 130 lbs for americans).
Everyone tells me I look good, I get asked out by attractive men, yet I still feel fat.
I don't want to go to the seaside. I hate being naked, even while having sex. I don't look at myself in the mirror. I shiver when I have to take pics with my friends, or when I get a "Anonette tagged you in her photo" notification on facebook. I dress with clothes 3 sizes bigger than mine. I don't wear dresses or shorts or leggings.
I feel retarded and I don't know how to get over it. I honestly had less issues with my body when I was fat.
How do I stop feeling fat?
>>18336103
>I get asked out by attractive men, yet I still feel fat.
>
boo fucking hoo
>>18336106
Still dating the same guy I was dating when I was a fattie.
Just saying that I get a lot of external validation but I can't feel good about myself or feel comfortable.
>>18336103
Just lose a little more weight. It's not like 5'6'' 130 is super skinny. Once you actually are undeniably skinny and not just average, you'll feel skinny.
So I just want to preface this by saying that I am in no way racist. I actually deeply loathe racism and it really bothers me when I hear one of my white friends say "nigger" or something along those lines.
But, for the past five or six years, my mom has only dated black guys. Sometimes I'm left feeling a little emasculated by this. Is it reasonable to feel this way, or is it a result of the "cuck" meme and just plain spending too much time on this godforsaken website?
your mom can only cuck you if you have the desire to fuck her, in which case my professional adv would be to kys
Stupid dumb nigger scum
>>18335890
in hindsight, the fact you are a liberal faggot is already reason enough to kys
How do I reveal my fetishes to my boyfriend without seeming like a freak? They are on the unforgivable side, even for 4chan. We've been together for 2 years now and we've both said the L word to each other. But as I said, they are unforgivable and I don't want him to leave me.
>>18335712
which fetishes? just pro - research...
You know you're gonna have to tell us what the fetishes are, right?
Come on. It's an anonymous board. I've revealed my unforgivable fetishes on here.
On that note, what I chose was to never, ever tell anybody in real life, including my fiancee (soon-to-be wife), and just take them to the grave. It's going well so far. Don't make things harder for yourself than they have to be; you don't have to tell your boyfriend unless you want to. You're not culpable for what happens in your mind so long as it stays in your mind (Your browser history is an extension of your mind, just remember to clear it regularly.)
>the L word
are you 9?
>unforgiveable
do you need absolution for your sexual preferences?
why do you think you need to tell him? do you want to act them our irl? most of the time that turns out to not be even half as rewarding as it seemed in your fantasy. do you just want his approval? let it be.
overall, this thread reeks of thinly veiled attentionwhoring.
you just want thirsty whiteknights to get out of you what your fetishes are so they can post shit like "pls marry me", "you can always kik me if yor bf disapproves".
Femanon here.
Basically I've been in a relationship for two weeks, and he's an amazing boyfriend, smart, caring, and genuinely the funniest guy I've ever met. The only problem is he's 5"8.
I usually am indifferent regarding height, but when I'm walking with him and our eyes are almost eye level I'm feeling like people are looking and me and making fun of me. I know I shouldn't care about what other people think of us or about our relationship but honestly I'm even scared of introducing him to my friends because of that? Especially since most of my male friends are rather tall, and my female friends prefer taller guys too
I'm really questioning myself because I've always thought I wouldn't care about appearance and that personality mattered, but the judgement of society is honestly scary and overwhelming
Should I just confront him to that or just try to make the relationship with it? Would he understand my concern?
low quality bait
>>18335697
Oh come on dude.
You love him or you don't.
If you love him shouldn't be worrying over his height.
I myself am heads over heels in love with a tomboy, almost no breasts, small and sturdy, very little makeup.
Not very feminine and all that good stuff. And yes, some people might criticize me for my taste in women, but I don't fucking care.
Two good friends of mine (dude and a girl) would not at all be impressed if I told them I'd be in a relationship with her.
But I love her, with all her perfect imperfections.
>>18335710
>I myself am heads over heels in love with a tomboy, almost no breasts, small and sturdy, very little makeup.
this is not at all something people would not like, if anything most people like this type of woman in this day and age
