This is a blue board which means that it's for everybody (Safe For Work content only). If you see any adult content, please report it.

So, I fucked up a year ago by agreeing to be the fuck buddy for a guy I that I've liked for about 3 years, and still very much do like. We're really close best friends, but he's never liked me the same way, (not really surprising given I'm a chubby, overall unattractive girl). Recently he's gone out of state for Uni and will be for idk 5 years and I keep paying to travel and go see him every week. We've never told anyone else.

Point is, any other people similarly done the shitty "I romantically like you but I'll just stick with being mindlessly fucked because it's the closest I'm ever gonna get" crap and any ways for getting over my self-pitying shit? Or, have you been on the other side of things?
Moving on seems like an obvious option, but I've genuinely never had a friend as good as him. Sucks seeing him have more fun without me. Thanks

Should probably add it's not that I dislike the sex, just always wished we could be more.

Start working out, soon they'll be coming to you.
Go out and have some fun yourself

Stop being fucking chubby Jesus Christ is it so fucking hard? Then they can't tell you shit because you get butthurt and emotional. Lose the fucking weight then go from there, may have escaped your notice but when you are a certain degree of fat people don't give a shit about other aspects of your life. You are generalized.

I seriously don't get it. Everyone is like freaking zombies with the " I don't give a fucks". First I though it was typical High School " appearing fearless so nobody can bug you"...then it carried on to College and now life as a young adult. Since when is not giving a fuck so appealing. What are the positives of not giving a fuck?...Wouldn't that only bring failure?
I say...give a fuck...give such a fuck its a burning hole in your chest...people/employers will pay a premium for passion...move up in your career until your the one in charge and make people give a fuck....
Why are people shit /adv/?

If I know I need mental help but don't really want to go, do I still have to?

Do I have any actual obligation to self-improvement? Is there any reason why I'd *have to* get psychiatric help if I am completely content with just going to work and spending my free time on alcoholism and maladaptive daydreaming?

Well, it could be philosophically argued that everyone is obligated to leave the world a better place than they found it and that might be easier to do if you aren't just general waste of space and oxygen. But truthfully, no, you're not obligated to improve, at least for as long as you aren't a burden on society or other people.
>>
>>18257366
>not a burden on society
But he implicitly would be, since society could have had someone who helped improve it

I go to work and pay taxes and don't vote for psychopaths. Is that sufficient?

>>18257371
I'm remarkably stupid, too, so it's not really likely I'd be curing cancer anyway.

I just hit YES on every POF person.
I work at a hospital and tonight a 14 year old chinese girl hugged me and said she loved me and I popped a boner and I hate myself because she had huge tits.

My wife refuses to have sex with me, even though most women say I am attractive (think Ben Afleck, but not cute young Afleck, newer smoking Afleck).

I don't know what to do. I'm tired of fapping down the drain. Please help. Divorce is not an option. I love her to death but she just won't have sex. We are best friends but... no sex or hugs or hand holding at all.

(pic is almost 100% me)

If you have needs that your partner isn't interested in fulfilling, that's okay.
If your partner doesn't care that you have unfulfilled needs, that's NOT okay.

Have you told you wife
>We are best friends but... no sex or hugs or hand holding at all.
>I have physical wants and needs you aren't fulfilling.
>It's okay that you aren't interested in fulfilling those needs.
>It's equally okay that I get them fulfilled and I believe a good partner would want my needs fulfilled.
>I want to have sex with you. You don't seem to reciprocate. Other women are offering. You okay with me pursuing that?

You don't need to lay out an ultimatum. You do need to make it clear that meeting your needs is now non-negotiable. It will happen, whether she's on board or not.

Everybody gets to define the terms of their relationships. So whatever you decide is right for you is right. Never back down from that. But that means it's okay for your wife, too. If this means you don't agree about what constitutes a successful relationship, maybe it's time to consider a split.

Femanons of /adv/, what would fulfill the qualities of being a "quality man" to you?

Are there certain traits that are weighted more than others?

Don't ask women about what they want. They have a lost of traits they look for, but for men, and for women, ultimately it comes down to chemsitry, unless you live in an arranged marriage society you will pair off with hottest person you can have fun with.
>>
>>18257300

A quality man in my books is someone who's dependable, responsible and kind to fellow people and other living beings. Everything else is pretty negotiable and up to personal tastes.

Hey /adv/, normally I am the one giving the advice but this time I really am in need of recieving a good one.
Info:
>m, 23, good earning Bartender, somewhat /fit/ and /fa/, very outgoing, all in all people tend to like me
Dilemma:
I am not sure if I want to commit to my gf of almost 4 years now.
I am in love with her, don´t get me wrong. But there is this feeling of immense lust pulling me to other young girls that really got to me in the last few days.
It´s not like I can´t control myself or something, it´s more of an emotional stress because I cannot get what I crave so much.
I know the right thing to do would be to brush it off and stay strong and all this, but I have a fear that this need will not just vanish again.
I just have so many girls and women around me at all times who most of the time don´t seem to be all too shy with me.
Please help me out, I´ve been answering so many threads over the last years. I really am desperate and I don´t know who to ask.
It´s eating me up.

If it sounds like bragging, I´m sorry, but trust me, it´s not really that much fun being in this spot.

So that explains the state of this board
>>
>>18257271
It doesn't sound like bragging, it sounds pathetic. You sound like someone who would end up cheating on his spouse anyway, a bottom of the barrel husband. Dump her and get on with your life as a perma bachelor. Save up some of that bartending money so you can pay people to take care of you in the nursing home.

>>18257271
>gf of 4 years
>23 y/o


you're young as fuck nigger you WILL cheat on her if you marry her now ffs. i guarantee in a year

My boyfriend wanted an entire room for his office so he could work from home, which I found pretty great since I like having him around during those hours and it was really neat that he was always available straight at 7 PM.

Although expensive, it sounded like a great idea. But he no longer has to work from home so he never does. Now I'm paying myself sick while he's at the other office until 8 PM and riding the bus for another hour until I get to spend time with him, and the worst part is that he isn't even working but texting a hot friend of mine all fucking day.

Now I'm sitting at home with nothing to do but watch as his and her online times in WhatsApp alter every two minutes. He stops whenever he comes home and goes "lmao why does this bitch pester me" in case she happens to message him while I'm in the same room.

He also used to continue messaging her whenever I left the room to shower or take a shit but I called him out on that several times until he admitted doing it and said he'd stop, although he refused to explain himself which was all I really wanted.

This is pretty pathetic and makes me feel like shit so I can't discuss it with anyone. Just getting it partially out of my system already helped a little, I guess.

He doesn't care about you. Please dump him. Being alone is better than being with a disrespectful leech.
>>
>>18257246
If the other chick is really your friend, talk to her. If one of my friends was constantly chatting up my girlfriend. I would have no problem telling both of them to show me some respect and knock it off. If they didn't there would be some changes made.
>>
>>18257258
I've been alone for a pretty long time and I'm not really sure if it's that much better. I was really miserable settling to be alone and now that I'm settling to be with a secret dickhead I at least have someone to take me to places and introduce me to new friends, although I have zero interest in meeting anyone.

I don't really feel depressed but I often manage to find some way to be miserable with everything life hands me. Is it really that big of an issue, that my boyfriend gets bored at work and texts actively with a friend, who just happens to be a hot girl? I'm not that naïve but really, I've had it much worse.

>>18257259
She isn't really my "friend". I said that mostly to establish that I'm not just imagining that he's texting hot girls but that it's a pretty logical conclusion for which I have proof.

She's a childhood friend of mine who lost interest in me after she took the teenage bimbo path, leaving nothing for us bond over or even talk about. I was hanging out with her for the first (and last) time in years when I met my to-be boyfriend so she knows him as well.

She lives in a different city now but she's visited a few times and it's been very awkward for me, and I truly wanted for all of us to be friends but she's a dick to me too. Really hard to approach. It took months of one-sided texting and begging until she opened up to him and I'm not attracted to her so I don't have the patience for that.

I would be her friend if she wanted, though. I don't have anything against her although the situation is causing some frustration. The blame is on my somewhat poorly chosen boyfriend. Not only am I jealous, I feel like an outsider there.

Again, what do you mean?

Churches are usually a good way to find someone very traditional.

>>18257243
JUST REMEMBER: TRADITIONAL MEANS NO SEX UNTIL MARRIAGE.

ANYTHING BREAKING THIS RULE MEANS SHE'S NOT TRADITIONAL WIFE QUALITY UNLESS SHE GENUINELY PUTS HER SOUL TOWARDS YOU.

PANCAKE ON A STICK.

>>18257241
High quality people usually have social networks and gatherings to attend and they meet their spouses through them.

Hello, /adv/. I'm not a recurrent user of this board, so I don't know what kind of advice you guys are used to give or what issues you are used to hear. Mine is about jobs. I tried asking this yesterday, but I got no replies so I thought to give this another try.

You see, I've been frequenting university for the past 4 years. Barring a pesky administrative issue, right now I could be a certified historian and get a teaching job, or work as a museum curator. You know, that kind of stuff. The problem is that I don't like what I do. I don't like what I study, I have no passion for my research work; I only see that stuff as something to churn out in order to get my shiny piece of paper in the end.
During the past few months I have been thinking about this in a lot of detail and I think that I stopped liking university itself, or the academic environment in general. Maybe I never actually liked it in the first place; what I know is that I utterly stopped giving a fuck about what I do and I hate to put work behind something I don't care about. What I do like enough to make a job of is making things. Building stuff, turning a rough piece of wood into something useful. Another thing I would be able to do is join the military as a professional (country with conscription, I fell in love with that world when I was in the first time).

I think I'll push hard for the last few months and then renounce pursuing an MA and either look for an apprenticeship as a carpenter or join the military full-time. Should I do it or keep grinding with my studies and see where my degree(s?) get me? I'd like to hear some opinions other than my own.

Thanks in advance.

You should keep an open mind for what your degree could be useful than what you listed already. Maybe you can combine the things you learned with your passions somehow.

Just an example: Theater or movie business could use knowledgable people in history and someone could hire you as an advisor. Maybe you could use your expertise and passion for building as an instructor for movie set design.

The military is not a bad idea either, since you like it. Go for it before you rot away in a job you don't like

If he knows you're into him and you know he doesn't want a relationship and you can't handle being just friends, you should cut contact. Dragging it out will only hurt longer and get in the way of you moving on

Hi /b/, I'm gonna be pretty straight forward here. I wanna kill myself.

I just want to know what's the fastest/most painless way to do it. I live in a country where it's not easy to get a gun, so that's not an option.

Should I take meds? If so, which ones and how much is enough? Or should I just jump from a high place?

I'm asking this here 'cause any other place would talk me out of it, when I want a solid and effective answer.

Why do you want to die?

Scared of life?

>train
is foolproof, you will give free mental illness to train driver, you will be in tv news and a lot of people will be late to work or school.

But you suiciders are all same. You either suicide or make these stupid threads to get attention.

So what is your problem?
>>
>>18257114
My reasons are personal. I'm sorry. What I can say is that the only pleasure I could get out of life would be ruining someone else's life, so I rather prevent that from happening.

who /parents are still together but don't do anything affectionate or sexual at all/

my parents slept in separate beds since i was 3-4 years old because my mom refuses to let my father touch her and my father just deals with it. i have never seen my parents kiss, and i'm pretty sure ive never seen them hug eachother either. they are married through an arranged marriage when my father was 37 and my mother was 24

is this really okay? because when i really think about it i fucking hate it

My Exs parents were the same way. Pretty much completely opposite of my parents so being around it was really jarring honestly. They never showed affection(her dad would always get her mom xmas and bday gifts though) and barely ever talked, yet they are still together and live in the same house.

Why not get divorced? I'll never understand it.
>>
>>18257070
I dont know if I could include my parents, my father is super shy (nearly autistic kek) in this stuff, he can't do it in front of us.
Sometimes, when he tries, I don't know if it's cute or cringy.
And my mother just got used to it.
>>
Well i slept in the same bedroom as my parents for years so i know they weren't getting any. They were never really physically affectionate with each other, i saw them kiss a couple of times (in my life) but it was just an awkward peck on the lips.

I never got the impression that there was any resentment between them, they just weren't that into that kind of thing. They are still together, I'm just writing in past tense because i don't live with them or see them that often any more.

I'm paranoid about the fact that the health report is not fully in on they yet. I know exactly how bad cigarettes are for me.

Vaping does a lot less harmful stuff to your body, but the burning coil and the itching in the lungs causes me some concern.

How do I go about dating motherly women? By motherly, I do not mean single moms or older women, but very kind and caring women. Women who dress conservatively and don;t live a degenerate lifestyle. I hope to have kids and start a family, so I'm attracted to more maternal women. Sadly though, these days most women my age seem to be thots or immature.
Pic-somewhat related: She is a youtuber who has a very maternal feel and soft, kind tone.
