GUIDELINES:
Before you post a question, check the FAQ to see if it's already been answered.
Keep questions short for more answers.
If you're not going to like honest answers, don't ask your question.
And please no derailing arguments.

FAQ:
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
>What do girls/guys think about <an insecurity including, but not limited to: looks, physical traits, personality traits, virginity or otherwise lack of dating experience>
There is no one answer. Preferences differ, but complexes are always a turn-off.

>*NEW* How do I ask a friend out without it being awkward, ruining our friendship or putting them on the spot?
You don't. Ask them out or don't ask them out, it's up to you.

>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Get over it by practising and exposing yourself to it, little by little, step by step. There is no single magical moment that will instantly change you forever.

>I like someone. What do I do?
>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out.

>Where do I meet girls/guys?
Anywhere outside. Or online.

>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. You're overthinking it.

>XYZ happened. Interpret this for me please
We're not in their head, we don't know.

>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing.

>Someone has made it super clear they're no longer interested in me. Do I still have a chance?
No.

>Where do I go on a first (or subsequent) date?
Pick one or more of the following: coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, ice cream, movies, zoo, aquarium, museum, art gallery, <activity in your city>.

Fuck off

>she's clearly interested, so am I but I have gf so I restrain myself

So her birthday is next week, would it be weird if send her a happy birthday message?
I'm not planning on doing anything with her, but it could be nice to have some girls I'm not friendly terms with besides my gf.

>female

>from a religious household that repressed woman's sexuality (mormon)
>molested as a child
>in a loving relationship

Sometimes when I'm masturbating, right before I orgasm, I suddenly feel so disgusted with myself that I actually get sick and want to throw up at the thought of what I'm doing.

I remember my grandma caught me playing with myself when I was 7 or so and she called me a slut and told me that I should never do it again.

When my uncle who molested me was eventually arrested, he called me a whore and I remember feeling horrible about myself and my body.

How can I get rid of these feelings? I don't want to feel guilty about cumming, but the self loathing and disgust is so strong.

Your situation calls for nothing less than professional advice. You're not going to get any knowledge of value from here. The only help I can even think to give you is to GOOGLE the names of people close to you who can deal with this and set up an appointment. And find reputable online sources that can show you how to deal with it.

TL;DR break, go or no go?

me and my girlfriend of 9 months, have just talked about maybe having a short break, she doesnt want to call it that, but she said that she doesnt feel loved by me, and that she has felt that for some time. she misses the old me. shes very good at showing love to me, she is still asking curiously about my day and being my best friend. so all of this came as a shock.

she just went in for a shower so we both can think about it, and im laying in my bed thinking about this shit so hard, i really love her, but at relationships i feel like a sperglord sometimes.

but im asking you /adv/ does small "breaks" ever work, the reasoning for all of this is that i will miss her and i will become more affectionate towards her i think.

Why do black people believe in Jesus and is their Jesus black?
13 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
I mean, Jesus was not white. Dude was a middle eastern Jew. But he wasn't African either.

However, historically this is not exclusive to just whites and blacks. The Chinese christians depict jesus as Chinese, the Indian christians depict him as Indian. Etc.
They all want to believe god/jesus looked like them.

Here, here's some artwork and such with depictions of Jesus from around the world.

Now, as for
>Why do they believe in Jesus
I for the life of me have no clue lmao. God put some pretty clear words in the bible that blacks are lesser human beings, dude fully condoned slavery, idk why anyone who is black would wanna back this god and that holy book. Same with women, god specifically says women are also lesser beings who should be nothing but tools to support men. Hell god even thinks raping women is cool, as long as you marry her after.

But the thing about religion, is it's a powerful fear tactic used to control people. It's mindlessly passed from generation to generation, so it's easy to see how many people still hold on to these beliefs and often times do not even really know anything about what they believe in.

How do I get my "dating partner" to start setting up dates?

I've been dating this girl for a while now. We've always had a lot of fun on our dates, and whenever I ask her out, she genuinely seems happy to go. But, she never asks me out, or even suggests what we should do. I've asked her before, if she wants to do something else, but she seems like she doesn't really care what we do. It's starting to bother me that I always have to set up the date, for a few reasons: 1) she's a college student, her schedule changes all the time, and she'll often postpone or cancel our dates, plus I always have to ask what days she's free before I even ask her out. I on the other hand, have a very predictable and open schedule - apart from going to work and the gym, I'm almost always free. 2) I share the apartment with my best friend who very rarely leaves. His classes are always done before I get home from work, and after that he almost never leaves. I've practically begged him to go out, but he'll always find an excuse so I feel bad for him. She lives on her own, which makes it infinitely easier. 3) I've ran out of ideas for dates that don't involve us being at home.

What do I do? Is she even into me, or is she just going with the flow - meaning that if I ask her out she'll go otherwise she'll continue her life as if I don't exist?

Seconding, but on the opposite end of the gender spectrum.
I always have to set up dates with guys. They always accept, but I've tried to just go a week without contacting them to see if they would contact me but they never do. I'm always getting the impression they just don't give a rats ass if they see me or not, and that my offers are just "something to do" to them because they never make any effort with me.

How do I nudge a high-functioning autist into recovery?

I used to be an insufferable autist myself but I managed to improve and my life is a lot better now. However I'm friends with someone else who has the same diagnosis but never managed to do the same.

He still has very childish behaviors for an autist, he has a "special interest" and is oblivious to social codes even though he is 25. It's barely possible to hold a conversation with him even if you talk about his favourite subject.

Is there any way I can talk to him and make him realize that he has a problem?

Autism is not the same as incapable of changing. This very attitude is probably the reason my friend is stuck in his development.
I'm not talking about changing his autism (in fact I'm not using the neurotypical norm at all), but the childish and immature part of him that just wants to play videogames and browse memes all day.

Type or color or hairstyle does it matter?

Ill never have thick lush hair. Mine is wild, frizzy and looks uncombed after a day or two, no matter what I do. I get paranoid that a guy who likes me will start judging me bc of my hair or look at other women with normal beautiful hair. Am i insecure?

>>18229107
You're by definition insecure

The reality that will make you should accept is that some guys will like your frizzy hair and some guys will not.
Just like some people like hamburgers over hot dogs. It's really nothing about your worth as a person just different preferences of men. Don't confuse sexual value with the value of your self

>>18229107
This is something your female friends care far more about than prospective male partners, much like makeup.

Of course it matters.

Just not in the way you think it does.

If your hair is anything like the one in the OP picture, you got nothing to worry about.

It will be awkward for the guy too, probably.
There's nothing at stake really, either you like each other or not.
The advice I can give is to give him clear signals if you like him so he feels more at ease with kissing you.

You sit there and judge the guy for the smallest of things. When finished with the food you deny him whatever.

Every day I feel emptier and emptier. I don't find joy in dating girls anymore, in flirting with them or even talking to them. I also avoid communication with other people more and more. I am trying to force myself to do it, but I'm just kinda starting to dislike them all and I just wish to be left alone. Every day I feel shitty and I've started to fail in finding a meaning in anything other than religion. Is there an escape from this? Or will I grow old and grumpy. I'm a 20 years old male employed in a mid tier job with a good financial status.

I really don't know what I want. Everything feels rather meaningless. I often fantasize about going somewhere in some deep woods and just letting the nature kill me.

How do I motivate myself to not be an alcoholic when it literally makes no difference whether I spend the night getting drunk or being sober?
21 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
My next work shift is tuesday-wednesday night. If I stay up drinking beer to 6 AM tomorrow and sleep 8 hours, I'll still have additional 8 hours to recover from the hangover before heading off to work. Another 24 hours shat off and closer to the grave.

From what everyone's telling me that should not sound like a tempting arrangement, not to speak of a great deal, but I can't think of any rational reason why not, for as long as I keep away from any social media and nobody hears of it.

If I'm not caught, nobody knows, nobody worries, no harm done. And apparently that isn't how it's supposed to work.
>>
>>18228920
Sounds responsible(ish)
The problem is when you do it constantly and you have work in 8 hours but you just can't not drink.
It tends to be a slippery slope, one alcoholic to another.

Some people can resist and be good with it, maybe your one of those. There are heroin users that manage it pretty responsibly believe it or not. Maybe you're that type, but maybe you're the type that will come in drunk to work from last night and get fired or worse.

One way to really find out and I'm always a fine of testing my limits. My mom would say stop being an idiot and drink on weekends like everyone else

You see op, alcohol is legal substance which is considered more harmful and addictive than many other illegal substances.

There is nothing wrong going to bar with friends getting drunken silly while pretending you are normie.

But the catch is when you want to get drunken just for the sake of being drunk. Alcoholism isnt a meme. It is a thing which turns responsible men into something far worse than junkies.

Try play a videogame, read a book, get a gf, play some sport, anything but drugs.

It is better to not drinkbalcohol in the long run.

This is why you don't talk to exes, at least not when you've recently broken up. I don't understand who initiated the break up, but if you did, of course she's resentful. She doesn't mean the things she said (like it being all bad memories), she's hurt and trying to hurt you too to feel better. Stop talking to her so you can both move on.
>>
A month has passed since I broke contact, and I still can't believe how she forgot all the beautiful things we've done together. We grew up together, for fuck's sake. Why can't she just move on as an adult? Why can't she just admit, like me, that we've been through a lot together and we have a lot of beautiful memories of each other that we're gonna bring in our heart forever?

I honestly don't care about our relationship at all. What hurts me the most is the fact that I'm gonna go down in her memories as a fucking dick with whom she never had a pleasing moment.

On an unrelated note, she also dyed her hair blue. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is my favorite movie and she knows that. Fucking hell.

>>18228886
Sorry, I sent the comment after receiving yours. I initiated the break up, but we both knew this was coming for a long time, it wasn't sudden or something. We still were a strong couple up until that moment, she just knew that I was very disappointed in how our dream was playing out.

First of all get a weapon like a knife or axe just in case.

Now there are 2 options. If you think that they are hostile wait for them to trie to break in then attack them (dont try to kill them just get them to run off. Or you can start shouting "What are you doing here?" when they approach, if you think that they are unarmed.

Also remember to stay calm and wear 2 jackets or something incase they have guns.

Maybe you could wait until at least one of them are inside the cabin, then call the cops run up and wait outside with your dogs and a bat or something.

>>18228737
Airsoft gun is the answer. about 200 pound, look like a gun and you get a new hobby as well.
