What country do you live in?

don't EVER tell him or ANYONE

>>18015608
U.S West Coast

>>18015596
I don't know how much meat goes for in California but grab 5 dollar ground meat, pasta and literally spend a good 20 bucks to 30 and just eat that

>>18015609
Agreed. Rice might be cheaper than pasta

>>18015596
Chicken thighs. Ludicrously cheap, even when you get them boneless and skinless, and they have more flavor than breast meat. Serve them with shallots, brown rice, and spinach and you're good to go.

>>18015538
It would be very wrong, don't do it.

>>18015538
dont worry i think evrybody has a certain thing for their exes. its normal you cant just forget a person, that has been in your life for a long time and you know probably better than anyone else. dont panic its fine, your not crazy or wrong, you are processing and this is a part of it. only you can say if its okay if you talk to her. if you are trying to fuck her its probably not a good idea to try talking but if its casual i think it should be fine

>>18015624
No chance of fucking her she lives 5000 miles away now. I just think it would be really nice to catch up.

I'd stop lying to myself.

>>18015534
Okay mr. High Horse, what am I lying to myself about?

>>18015532

focus on time alone. lonely tends to be because we end up alone and arent sure what to do and that makes us sad. prove to yourself you're fun to hang out with and you dont really get lonely. at worse i tend to just get bored.

>>18015518
Just do what the poorfag women in my 3rd world shithole do:
>No excercise
>Eat a lot of pastries, snack a lot in between meals
>Eat sugary shit like sweet bread and also eat deep fried junk, between meals too.
>Watch soap operas and live in abusive relationships

Last step is optional, though.

>>18015550
America?

Also, OP; Wouldn't 100% fat food just be pure fat?

>Is there any food which is 100% fat?
Eating fat doesn't make you fat.

>>18015421

possibly. everythingg has a wild card factor but without knowing what you actually want to do for basic job field you're shooting yourself in the foot.

if you were taking out huge student loans id be concerned but you're not.

>I'll make more money as a college graduate (no matter what I majored in) than as someone who didn't go to college.
This is partially true. You'll make more than anyone who's only got a high school diploma to their name, but not necessarily anyone who doesn't have a college degree. (unless said college diploma kid is some sort of genius or wicked lucky)
There's other options outside college, but you're going to need some sort of training/special skill. IE, you're gonna be looking into getting a trade.
If you don't give a shit what you do so long as it makes enough money to live off and support your hobbies, trade work is a good option. It's significantly cheaper than college and takes less time.
So your parents bit about ANYONE without a degree is a little false, since my neighbor makes more as a welder than I probably ever will on my teaching degree. (And fuck my ass this teaching degree is stupid expensive for the pay I'll be getting.)
But college degree jobs have other benefits that idk enough about the trade scene to speak for. Such as healthcare, job security, time off, etc.
Like with my teaching degree, yeah I won't be making a ton, but I'll have lots of time off, my job is pretty secure given A, the fact that teachers are always going to be needed, and B, tenure if I make it that far.

For now OP, if you just feel you haven't explored your interests enough yet (which, most teens havent), take a break. Move out of your parents house so you aren't a leech on them, get a full time job wherever, and spend your free time thinking about it. Nothing wrong with going back to school a tad later in life.
The only thing you're sacrificing by going back to school later in life is the social aspect of college.

>>18015463
Fuck, *unless said high school diploma kid is a genius.

>swearing off women
>i hope this provides insight

im sorry but if you think avoiding your natural instincts to be with women are going to erase emotional pain, you are wrong, you will just have a different kind.

dont get me wrong i am a big believer that were too co dependent and need to take a step back and enjoy time by yourselves. im single for 4 years and dont see it changing.

but to swear off women in an attempt to stop your emotional pain is just gonna make you lonely horny and jaded.

at best the important thing isnt to swear off women so much as to rise above relationship drama.

>>18015427

This is a pretty good post.

"Taking your ball and going home" isn't really the answer to wanting to win the game. Saying you're done with women pretty much means that deep down you're still going to be bitter about it.

Like the last poster said, people here are too co-dependent. Take the time you have single to enjoy your freedom, knowing that you don't have to pass your plans by someone else, or get shit tested, or plan out meals together, or anything like that.

Just go do you and be happy about it.

>>18015444

yup. its okay to stop pursuing women, but to swear off anything (save for meth and the like) is rather silly.

be yourself by yourself and just pursue a woman if she actually stands out and interests you. thats all life should be.

>I'm pretty sure my friend is literally and unironically supporting domestic terrorism.

I say that because I'm pretty sure that what happened last night fits the definition.

>>18015349
This entire election has divided everyone and caused chaos. I stopped using Facebook and avoid anything political because it's fucking crazy now. Be safe out there and try to talk some sense to your friend. Tumblr is a bad place to be.

Stop being friends with females

>Forgot to mention that she added me on snapchat after that whole bootycall night
>Anyways, meet up with her and have lunch
>She's getting all touchy feely while I'm trying to play it cool
>She forces me to turn my head and she kisses me
>What the fuck
>I just go with it
>We go ski some more and find some hammocks in the trees
>I try getting on a separate one, it's hard to get on and she says 'just come sit on mine'
>We make out some more and it's like nothing was ever bad, alarm bells going off like crazy
>Next day I stay at home and she's skiing again, bitching about some of the group she's with
>When she's coming back she mentions that she wants to watch a show we watch at my place always
>I ask if she wants to come over
>She says 'maybe, im still a little sore from you from the other night'
>I say 'What can I say, you turn me on ;)'
>She says 'yuck, no I don't'
>She didn't come over that night
>She was sending me snaps monday to wednesday, and on monday she got her period and sent me some aggro seeming snaps, culminating with her giving me the finger in one snap
>I just want to avoid her now, but I also want closure on this
>Text her yesterday morning to see if she wanted to fool around for a bit inbetween her shifts
>She said no
>Snaps me a few hours later of her dancing in a skimpy bathing suit
>Sends me one more snap later that night of her cat
>I've stopped replying to her, it feels like she's baiting me or something

So, I hope that's enough context. All I'm wondering is, does anyone have any insight as to what the fuck's going on inside her head?
Until the next time I see her, I won't have any idea, and this lack of closure is driving me nuts

Op here with a quick bump.
Is it possible that because I didn't really challenge her on her offhand remarks to me, she sees me as a wimp now and has lost interest?

>>18015453
Why does it matter you're both just booty calls?

You're putting too much thought into this.

Some advice would be nice anons

bumping third time

...oh well

>>18014656
Yeah it's a mac

>>18014656
Try re-launching safari and clearing your cookies.
Honestly though sometimes safari just goes full retard. Are other youtube pages weird or just that one?

>>18014541
No. Some like to start shit some want to keep the peace. You got one that likes to create drama

I like it when my boyfriend is dominant too. Too bad he's too much of a feminist bitch.

>>18014541
>Just recently, she arrives way later than when I expected to hangout
>Confront her about it, she says it's my fault for not being specific about the time

Frankly, it just sounds like you have communication issues in your relationship and you're reading too much into it. If you want something, express it clearly. Now you're just complaint because she didn't read your mind and blaming her for causing problems. She was probably sweet towards you to apologise.

Face your fears head on.
Even if you are scared and have legit reason to be do it.

That can be a physical or emotional thing.
Do it.

>>18014354

Build confidence by developing skills that help you manage anything life throws your way. If you feel like you can handle whatever shit you run into, you will and there's no need to pussy out.

Selfbump to the top

>>18014313
Honestly? The best thing might be to just try again and see if it works.

I was with a girl for a few years, and after she dumped me, I held onto the hope that we'd both work on ourselves and give it another shot, which did happen about two years later. She then dumped me again like two months after we got back together, and now I know for a fact I wouldn't ever want to be with her again.

>>18014318
Did it hurt significantly less the second time?

>>18014327
I think so. I mean, it still hurt quite a bit, but I think I distinctly remember it being far worse the first time.

False dichotomy. Most artists and writers have day jobs. Even most artists and writers who nowadays support themselves entirely by their creative works neverthrless started with day jobs. Just because starting at the top was an unreasonable implementation plan doesn't mean that your dream is unattainable; it just means you need to rethink how you're going to get there. And yes, that probably involves a day job.
