My family owns electrical and engineering businesses.

I can get on as an electrician literally tomorrow if I wanted and start at $19 CAD as a level 1 apprentice.

I really care about money and quality of life. Screw people.

Would you recommend that over nursing or even in general?

Male ex-nurse here.

fuck yes. get into the family business bro. why wouldn't you

nurse pay looks good on paper but all the other shit just wasn't worth it imo.

I literally work for goodwill now scavanging through people's old junk they don't want to look for shit to sell and I'd rather be doing this.

Realistically, how much money does it take for an attractive woman to like you for it alone, as long as you're not fat or a sperg?

How do you attract these women or show that you have money?

And yes, I know this is a bad idea, but I kind of have a fetish for the idea a girl would be with me when she doesn't even like me.

If you're not fat I'm accepting sugar daddy applications.

I guess that's a good thing to ask - what's expected as a "sugar daddy?" Is it like, I give you $400 a month and you run off with it, fucking me once, or like, we go do shit together and I pay?

Because #1 just feels like prostitution.

I can't find a way to analyse and understand things in life, i'm full of confusion and emptiness and cannot find happiness in the environment that i'm in.
I'm 22 and I'm a student, i'm deeply involved in music and a musician myself (since i was 15).
I don't give a shit about my school yet i get the highest marks because people are fucking stupid, I have a friendly family but they are too stable to do anything out of their fucked up routine like other families around my country, which makes life so fuckin boring for me.
I've been an adrenaline junkie, a sex addict, fuck around with random girls and drink myself to death almost everyday for 3-4 years now.
I cannot enjoy anything because i have a thoughts pattern that i cannot break which kills the joy out of anything; I basically look at myself as a different person and i see what i'm doing from a second perspective, which makes everything i do predictable and it kills the element of surprise which is what i'm seeking in life.
I also find myself arrogant and rude to other people which i cannot control and it puts me in a constant state of regret of everything i do with other people, the reason i started dealing that way is because i got betrayed by many friends and girlfriends and i find it hard to trust anyone anymore, so i started dealing that way as a way of defense, i understand that people are different, but i cannot stop this.
I always seek to intoxicate myself with alcohol and fuck my brains up with weed and other substances mostly because i cannot tolerate sober life around this community, i lost some of my dear friends because i always go beyond my limit and expect them to go with me, but they're always too afraid and find it wrong to do so, I would totally get fucked up with anyone that's willing to.
I've been having suicidal thoughts since i started living this way and i know it's the right way to go for, away from these shitty patterns in life, but not yet.
Help maybe? life advice? thoughts? i dont know.

>>18558788 You definitely sound like you have a creative temperament so you do need outlets for that, but don't forget to have some grounding too. Maybe a martial art would discipline you and provide some balance. It might sound outside of your archetype but if you aren't fulfilled inside of it it's one of the best things you can do to step out for what you need. You sound like a higher functioning version of some guys I used to hang around with, dangerously cynical and depressive, very disagreeable (technically speaking), celebrates a life of chaos. Stoics are good, check out Jordan Peterson if you haven't. Man is a wicked intelligent clinical psychologist, he's done a lot to help young men our age nowadays (22 here).

I have a friend who keeps getting sucked into Pyramid Schemes, and keeps wanting me to get involved as well. This puts a strain on our relationship. When I point it out, he is often insulted, or gets insulting saying I don't want to be involved because I am lazy and have no drive.

How can I get him to stop? I understand the desire to get rich quick, but it would seem that being burned once by a scheme, he would have learned.

Your friend is an idiot and there's nothing you can do to help him.

Get out. He'll drag you down with him.

I see a guy on my Facebook who is constantly posting all of this shit about business/investing seminars he attends, new products etc and trying to get people to join this new investment but never really states what it is.

that basically a pyramid scheme isn't it? it actually kind of annoying.

do they actually believe in their shit or are they knowingly trying to recruit people to minimise their losses and pass it onto them
>>
>>18558933
a pyramid scheme usually involves you trying to get people under you, which would the the direct source of cash flow, which then moves up the pyramid.

Should I (or can I) force my roommate/tenant to pay more rent?

>I'm the owner of the house (technically my parents put in the down payment but it's my responsibility to pay the mortgage and utilities and insurance and eventually buy the house from them for that original down payment)
>Had two roommates, each paid dirt cheap rent
>$400 each including utilities
>Current roommate's bad habits are huge contributing factor to other roommate leaving
>My dad offered to cover the extra $400 for two months while we found another roommate
>couldn't find one
>ask roommate if he'd be willing to bump up his rent to $600 so we were splitting the empty space in the house
>nope, he's unemployed
>now I'm on the hook for about $800 each month

This guy is preventing me from finding a roommate that will pay more, AND he's frequently late on rent (although he does pay). Should I tell him he has to pay more or he's evicted?

Kick him out. He's only going to get worse. You should have kicked him out before the other roommate left
>>
>>18558635
>>18558635
Yes you can remove him. Did you make him sign a lease? If no lease was signed and he pays month to month then you give him notice 1 month before you evict him. After those 30 days you he is a tenancy at sufferance and you may pursue further action.
>>
>>18558643
>>18558657

Honestly I'd prefer not to kick him out because it's ridiculously difficult to find someone at my age that doesn't totally suck and is looking to rent a room. He's at least quiet.

I just want to raise the rent.

>she's kind of flirty with me
>flirt back and forth
>text a bit every now and then
>either she stops texting or I do
>fairly certain I could ask her out or that she at the very least finds me attractive


Now here's what's throwing me off.

Eye contact:
And we're both guilty of it
It seems as if every time we pass by each other it's as if we're actively trying to avoid each other....as if we're playing some weird game of who will speak up first?? It's weird.
We won't make eye contact or I'll get the courage to try and see that she's actively looking away.

Sometimes when we do make eye contact, she'll look away really fast, and sometimes I do it too, but for me, it's because I'm a bit intimidated by her.

Is she just not into me? Is she intimidated like I am? I mean, sure I can ask her, but I think we're both afraid to make a move.

But of course there also the whole I dont want to date a co-worker thing, and other small "issues" , but that's another thread at another time.

Well why not just stare back at her with a focus. Stare for a few second and smile at her, look for how she reacts and go from there after. Maybe she's only waiting for you to initiate something. Don't expect much from it because girls like to flirt for fun sometime. It's all part of the life's game.
>>
>>18558619
I want to say that I've tried, but we made eye contact and she looked away as if she thought that I "caught" her looking, and she never looked back at me. I'm almost 80% sure it's just her nerves, but girls are weird.
>>
Additional info: we also have had kind if personal talks with each other and seem to genuinely enjoy eaxh other when we are alone at work with the conversations that we do have, we do have a lot in common, and we usually find ea check other throwing glances whenever a certain co-worker does things we find funny.

This feeling of if she likes me isnt so much only based on the fact that she has flirted with me a couple of times .

GUYS

How true is this really?
I saw He's Just Not That Into You yesterday, which gave me the courage to walk away from a guy who was too disengaged.

He was pretty gobsmacked about it, but it's like why? Why be surprised when you didn't even treat me like I was something?

Should we just walk away from all guys who aren't madly interested in us from the word go?

Is being disengaged nearly always a guarantee that he doesn't like you like the movie says?

This is 50% truth
Yes, if girl is totally indifferent to me, I wont do shit
But if I like a girl, I will try establishing some contact HOWEVER I move on if she is not moving along with me
Also, sometimes it is hard to make the very crucial things like kiss and sex happen, this is where I personally appreciate female initiative
But I think if a guy is somewhat interested in you he will at least bring himself to text you

Anon this is the biggest load of shit I've ever read. Me and my wife disagree with that because what if the male is an introvert? What then? You can't expect them to make all the plans and call/text you 24/7 people have lives and just because they don't treat you like a spoiled child doesn't mean they don't see you as important. Also, there is no "soulmate" bullshit.
>>
It depends on the man. When I met my wife, she was the one really into me, and eventually I warmed up to her, she very much pursued me. We've been married for years now and are madly in love.

I would say that you are into someone, and they seem like a very active outgoing person that goes after what they want, but you are having to always be the one that calls them, or asks them if they want to go out, or ask them if they want to come over to fuck or whatever, then you're probably not lighting their fire and should realize now rather than later that they aren't interested in having you.

However, if the guy is more laid back socially, and isn't the type of suggest dating, it's fine to pursue him until he realized you're into him, and then go from there. If he warms up and accepts you, then that's great, if he still does not return the feeling, then move on.

Every person is different.

What would you do if you found yourself putting the most effort into a relationship?

Is it something I have to accept? I don't want to end the relationship but I don't want to be taken for granted either.

Those pieces of advice always expect something literally impossible. If you follow them you'd basically never have a relationship.

How do I get motivated to work out?

quit thinking about how to get motivated and just get down and do 20 push ups and sit ups every day more as you go , to many fags overthink it
>>
>>18558313
Motivation is an emotion, and emotions are fleeting so it won't always be there to move you. Something more has to drive your actions.

Just do it as a matter of discipline. The motivation comes when you start to see results (more energy, more testosterone, better physique, smashing goals). You'll even come to enjoy the feeling of DOMS.
>>
>>18558313
It doesn't matter whether you are motivated or not. Everyone who looks good at the gym just goes because it is a routine. Hold yourself accountable and develop a schedule that you stick to.

I use to work out around 5 times a week for ~2.5 years and you hit periods where the last thing you want to do is work out. Push through and you will really start to enjoy it. If you only wait until you muster up enough motivation to do it you will never look good or stick with it.

i had an argue with a friend recently.
some background info
> he's 35 and has two 5 year old kids.
> my girlfriend discarded me after a year long relationship about 6 months ago

he keeps talking about how i should find a girl and settle down, but i was done with women after my last discard. i put way to much effort in it and was treated like shit.
i told him from my experience women stick to you as long as they can get something out of you. when you can't give because you have everything you have, they move on to the next dude. i explained him "the wall" and that i imagine dating at 30 is like " she: are you financially stable ? wheres my baby ?".
he suddenly got mad and asked if i am trying to fuck with him.
i said no why ? what is wrong with you ?
so he told me how he got his wife

> he was 31
> met her through online dating
> married her same year
> she got two siblings same year (his kids)


so i think i killed the friendship. i can't look at this dude the same way i did before. i had respect for him but to me he's just another beta now.

I apologize if this is a bit rambly. Never have been good with words, so deal or don't read it I guess.

So I have always been called out for being too sensitive, or too picky or whatever. Essentially, I believe, what irritates me is shit that I perceive as being disrespectful. Having people leave things messy is big for me. When I'm talking to somebody and upon finishing and waiting for a response, receiving only silence, and maybe a "wait what?" after I give up and start walking away.

Any time I complain about it people always will tell me things along the lines of "why don't you just fix it yourself" or some other something that just makes me feel like they just don't give a shit and that the things that I feel aren't valid at all.

I understand that some things like having people be messy around my house in various ways can be solved if I just do it myself. The reason I don't appreciate things like that, or at least how I rationalize it, is that any person in the right mind wouldn't just leave a bunch of crap on somebody else's bed and force them to either do some cleaning or sleep on lumps, or leave a bowl of milk out for days after eating a bowl of cereal and have the milk get all spoiled.

I personally don't get irritated over any solitary messy event, but it's a daily grind. I feel like somebody's parent constantly having to babysit and make sure nobody is doing things of the nature.

I don't know whether they think I'm ridiculous and just feel too bad to tell me, or if they realize what they're doing is wrong and just simply don't care. I can't make a big deal out of it because it's always really small things but they happen around my house so often. I feel bad telling anybody shit about it because it is just a small thing at any given time, but should I really be expected to be the house maid just to not live in a pig pen?


I just wanna know if it's silly for me to feel disrespected. If it's reasonable then any advice on how to approach the situation?

Keep your living space clean. Try and keep the shared spaces of the house that you need to use e.g. bathroom clean as well. Let them do whatever with the rest of the house, and move out, hopefully.

That's what I'm doing.

>>18558266
Not much. Live with family and then my girlfriend stays with us. My dad is a huge neat freak and he's kind of the head of the house even though everybody is respected around my house. But my girlfriend who sleeps in the same bed always leaves my room (which is practically an office room, no windows or anything and very small) a mess a lot and I have to deal with that directly because she's at my side a lot when we're both awake and in the house. My brother doesn't make as many messes, but he's the one that leaves milk out for days and stuff. On top of that I'm a homebody and any time there's a mess my father comes to me and gives me shit about it first. It's not solely over the mess, which is mildly annoying depending, but I also just take the brunt of it when there's a mess left out and my dad sees the shit lying around. I'm the one that gets an earful over the messes made from my brother or girlfriend.

I might be generalizing here but one big problem with neet is a lack of motivation. But how do you get motivation you might ask?

Well, first do you have a goal in life... like something that would improve your life in general? Not something that would be considered as an " hobby " , I'm talking real goal.

List a few things you'd want to do/change for yourself and write the things that are needed to do to get to it. Not sure if pic is related or not but autism isn't an excuse because it's only a state of the mind. The mind can achieve great feats while still been able to make you feel like an undertaker.

Just choice is yours to decide, stop giving yourself excuses for things you haven't done. It's quite simple really.

I'm looking to find similarities and how to spot fake documents, if i can make them i can find out where the problems are, doing a presentation on fake documents ( notice no passports etc.. ) .
How they differentiate and how to tell the difference, i already found books on how to spot the difference but making them yourself is another thing, and having the opportunity to ask the class to distinguish between a fake one and the original one is a creative idea my professor liked.
