ITT: Ask the opposite gender anything

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.

>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>.

>Brandon, that guy who keeps asking about cuddling in platonic friendships and fart guy
Fuck off

I've been a bitter single bitch for almost 10 years now. I've fallen into that trap of
>Desperate because I'm single
>Guys don't like desperate chicks so they avoid me
and of course
>Just cannot drop my standards any lower and solve the problem that way, I've tried.

I've been trying to just come to terms with my inevitable catladydom, but that's another story.
Basically my friend dumped her bf recently, and immediately was back on the horse fucking dudes. This just made me incredibly envious, I was just enraged with myself that I could not do it as easy as she was.
I try my hardest not to let this dark underside of me seep out. I cram it back in and act like a responsible mature adult, but I had a little leak with her a while back ago. It was more self loathing than anything, something like "Well fuck it's only been 10 goddamn years and I can't get fucking shit, but it takes you all of 10 minutes to find someone new. Wish I were that lucky".

Now she's telling me shes actually dating someone again, mere months after dumping her last dude, and she said she avoided telling me because she didn't want to upset me or make me feel bad.
And I just feel like such a fucking bitch, she's too good a friend for me to shit on and I know she doesn't deserve it.
How do I contain this shit more effectively, or better yet, how do I rid myself from the green demon altogether?
>Get laid/bf
if I could do that I wouldn't be here, so that's not a solution

Guys, I'm in fucking tears.

I was minding my own business playing Splatoon when my little sister (12) burst in and fucking MOONED ME.

What are the hell did I do to deserve this? Does she hate me? I feel so bad.

Looking to start taking some medication for my depression but don't know which one I should take. Apparently there lots of different drugs, each one with its uses.
What do you take? What kind of depression do you have? Anxiety included? Any side effects? How expensive is it monthly for you? What are the results?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I got drunk with a female friend of mine who thinks I took advantage of her, and will not speak with me unless I admit what I did was wrong.

The thing is, all I did was walk her home. We were both drunk, but she initiated everything, and I pushed her away multiple times because she was that fucking drunk. We did not have sex, but I was left with a hickey. I did not touch her anywhere.

I've had other girls in the past tell me flat out that they would tell people I have raped them, even if I haven't even touched them. Is this something women do when men reject them?

I'd like to speak to this girl and explain what happened, but she's very stubborn and will not give me the time of day. What can I do? We were friends for over 10 years, and have drank plenty of times before without anything happening, however the last few times before this event, she had been getting touchy with me.

Hey /adv/ I'm in a sticky situation with a roommate and I need help.

My roommate claims to have Borderline Personality Disorder. However, she seems to use it as an excuse for her poor impulse control and manipulation shit (I'd move out but I am under poverty line and finding a new place is out of the question atm)
Before I moved in, she got a cat from a rescue center that she admitted was an impulse buy later on. She's a sweet black/siamese cat named Luna, only about a year old.

Well, turns out Luna has worms, specifically tapeworms. We don't know if the rescue center neglected to actually treat her, but they said if Luna had worms to contact them. My roommate just decided to not do that.
Well, shortly after I moved in, I rescued a cat as we had discussed and planned. She's a wonderful cat and turned out to be pregnant, and now is the mother of 5 sweet kittens (all calico too). We have homes set up for them and I prepared as needed to make sure they have everything they need, and I'm planning on their vet visit to get everything started for them.

Now, in the time of me moving in, getting my own cat, and her having kittens, it's been about... 2.5 months. Luna still hasn't been treated for worms. She has a potbelly going on and is constantly crying for food and always hungry.
It makes me feel so bad for her, cause I can't afford to take her to the vet myself, otherwise I would. Meanwhile, my roommate spent $200 on makeup right out of her paycheck and will eat out all the time and get other frivolous things she doesn't need, but then lament that she can't take Luna to the vet.

The kittens can be at risk of getting tape worms cause kittens try to eat everything and I can see it being a possibility of them trying to eat Luna's poo if I let them venture out of the bedroom. Also, this poor cat is suffering because of medical neglect.(1/2)

decided to end my 240 days of nofap.
tldr: looking for advice from learned anons to make the experience better

the main reason I stopped was that I didnt really get much pleasure from it, I either did it on the toilet/shower.

Tried laying down, hated cum touching my belly, instantly ruined it for me, and had no way to do it in bed without making a mess (socks still leaked).
Looking for some advice, coming while laying down felt godlike, not even close to the other ways, but the problem was the aftermath

pls respond, my depression is at its worst and I decided to get back the only pleasure in my life

Hey /adv/, sex has caused me a lot of problems in my young adulthood. But the one I hate the most is how it sometimes lands me into relationships I just am not ready for emotionally. I become paranoid, controlling and obsessive.

If there was some (non drastic) way I could curb my sex drive I think id have a much better life, focusing on the things I can do for myself and developing friendships.

Anyone ever had alcohol withdrawls before? /b/ wasn't all to helpful, so i came here, i pisted this the other day but it got 1 comment that wasn't to helpful. Im 20 years old, 5'11" and about 175lbs, 44 days clean of booze and i quit on my own two feet as i noticed it destroying my health. Was drinking a pint a day of jack daniels at most for the first 6 months and one atleast for last 5 months. I didn't have mental issues with it and i just quit cold turkey. Ended up having withdrawls that consisted of: heart palpitations, terrible tremors, cold sweets & hot flashes, nausia, delerium (confusion), constant dehydration, pale skin, loss of weight, insomnia, physical pain from head to toes, severe depression, and im almost 100% positive i had a seizure by myself in my room (whole body went numb and stiff, couldn't move a muscle and everytime i opend my eyes they would twitch closed and all i cluld see was white, all i remember was coming to midway through) this was the first week and everything seems to be somewhat better till i sleep! I always have nightmares that make my heart race)
Anyways, I've had insomnia since i was a kid and i refuse to take any medication outside of cannabis for sleep. I've been a on and off smoker for 8 years in a medical, now legal state. The problem is that everytime i smoke or eat i get increased heart rate, pale skin and dry lips, and warming in my face and my body goes numb. Does anyone know why this happens?
I grow my own to save $ but know im a nervous reck. Quit smoking cannabis and Drinking caffeine, quit alcohol, and im going to have to quit smoking ciggeretes as new california laws taxed $2.85 on ciggeretes, a pack of american spirits are now $10 and i can't afford my habbit and bills even though i do a pack in 2 days.
Anyone have any recommendations? Pis is of me after smoking cannabis. Again, 8 years and NEVER CAME CLOSE TO THIS! in fact, never had a problem with it before.

Hi, /adv/. I've been thinking a lot lately. I turned 18 in February and began my last year of highschool on March, along with the sudden realization that I have to think more seriously about what I want to do with my future and myself once I'm out.
There aren't many thing I do really, but I am very interested in art. I've improved over the years, and feel like I'm ok. I've been looking into art college, but general consensus seems to be that it's not really worth it, it can be very expensive and you may get the same jobs a person without a degree would. I'm also interested in things like cuisine and zoology, but I don't feel good enough, or smart enough, for either.
So, my question is, should I try going to an art college? Should I look into something else? If I weren't to go to college, what else can I do?
