How does one get over a sense of foul bitterness about life?
I've reconnected with a girl I knew when I was younger, and she seems to be interested. But I dunno, I feel like I'm buying the village bike after everyone already had a ride. She "went through a party" phase.
Normally I would just not go for it, but it seems every woman these days has that period of wildness. And maybe I'm a prude, but I don't want to be the guy who ends up with them after they've "had their fun". It's made me incredibly bitter about romantic prospects in my life.
Is this just how life is now, /adv/? Am I being too old fashioned?

Truth be told I don't really care about that. Besides, I know where this chick has been. I'd have to use a hefty bag for a condom.
Really, I want a companion, as cheesy as it is. I want to start a family.

well there's diseases and then interpersonal dysfunction. if you're not concerned about that stuff, and just have a vague bellyache about it, then by all means plow away.

Is playing footsies under the table considered cheating?
Female friend of mine got engaged a few months ago. we have hooked up before in the past but nothing came from it.
anyways we are still friends and went out with her and her fiance and a bunch of other people for dinner.
She knows I'm into feet and that I think her feet are great. she starts touching my legs and shit under the table
gave her benefit of the doubt that it was an accident touch but know for sure it wasn't cos it was happening too frequently and she took her shoe off.
didn't go for my dick or nothing.
is that cheating? should I let her fiance know or just keep my mouth shut and let him deal with possible divorce in the future.
should I at least tell my gf?

Don't make a scene. Speak with her privately that you were uncomfortable. She won't do it again if you sit her down alone. Tell your girl right now what happenrd and that you'll talk to her about it. This way, it's out of your hands if and when she decides to fuck another guy.

You both just rubbed feet. Big fucking deal

Brands don't matter, gonna buy a cheap (not the cheapest tho.) luggage and was wondering what's the difference between A and B?
A is just regular and has no plastic cover.
B has a plastic cover outside.
Can we say one is better than the other, solely on the cover?

I think it's a matter of preference. Both have their pros and cons. Just figure out what you need and pick once based on that.
>>
>>18521303
Depends on your budget.
If you are on a low-mid budget go with type A, if you want to spend more money (and get luggage that will last you for decades) go with a hardshell from a decent manufacturer
>>
Type B is much more resilient.
If you travel a lot and expect your luggage to go through a beating, or if you have valuable or fragile objects B is more secure.
I believe A is lighter weight though.

How can you overcome religious programming
I believe my issues stem from attending a religious school, a lot of the teachings in a catholic school seem to come down to this one 'truth' = I am inherently bad, my thoughts, my needs, my desires, EVERYTHING must be suppressed, be quiet, don't step out of line
I'm 25 now, but there is still this underlying belief, it's there every minute of every day. I genuinely feel/'believe' that it's naughty or wrong to be naked
I feel guilty at the thought of going out and enjoying myself and drinking alcohol, there is guilt attached to all pleasure, there is guilty attached the feeling of even wanting to pleasure seek
Obviously I am partly to blame, because a lot of my friends who had the same upbringing grew out of it, or it didn't change them the way it changed me
But it kinda struck me recently that this isn't normal, you're not supposed to constantly feel guilty and bad, just for being a fucking human
How wild is that, I'm a human, I'm a male, I'm 25, and I think/believe having sex is some naughty thing that needs to be kept secret, you can't possibly allow your family to know you are interested in the opposite sex

You have to be agnostic or at least always have an open mind. Be in a constant search for the truth and accept that you simply can't know some things. You won't be able to turn atheist so just be an agnostic.
You must adopt the best lifestyle you can, the healthiest one. And remember that for every religious person there's a unique religion. No one agrees 100% with each other, everyone sees religion their own way. Don't let others tell you if you are guilty or not when it comes to religion and sin. Find your own religion, look for the truth by your own means, read all the points of view you can and never settle for anything.

I don't know man, I'm a very devout Catholic - go to mass every Sunday, member of the Knights of Columbus, teach catechism, all of it - and I don't experience any of the shit you're talking about.
I'm pretty sure your problem isn't your religious upbringing, it's something about you that's deeper than that.
also -
>I feel guilty at the thought of going out and enjoying myself and drinking alcohol
Reading this makes me think you've never even stepped inside a Catholic church. Catholics drink more than any other group of people I've encountered.
>How wild is that, I'm a human, I'm a male, I'm 25, and I think/believe having sex is some naughty thing that needs to be kept secret, you can't possibly allow your family to know you are interested in the opposite sex
Pretty fucking wild, but that has nothing to do with the Catholicism either.

I'ma 24 year old man who goes to community college currently. I work a part time job as a cashier and only make about 12k a year. I've been at the job for 4 years now. Mostly treading water because of depression/ anxiety. I'd like to change to something else, but not sure what since I don't want to go into retail again or fast food.
Anyway, enough set up. On to the topic title. I decided last year in January that I wanted my own mode of transportation so that I could have some independence and freedom in my life. However I feel like looking back on it now that I rushed into things too quickly without doing enough research. I currently make a car payment of 318 every month for a 2012 used Honda Civic. The main issue I've run into recently is that while I can save some money back for school/a social life it's not a lot and not at a very fast pace. I could cut back on going out entirely and only go out when I need to, but I feel that cutting back too much on social outings will have a negative effect on my mental health.
Right now I currently have two ideas, but I don't even really know how they work desu. One is to sell the car, but is that even possible if I haven't finished payments yet? How would that work? The other idea is to refinance the car payments so that they become cheaper. I also have no idea how this would work. Would I want to go to my own personal bank to do this?
Again the main reasoning behind these ideas is that I wish to save more money to use for school. I didn't qualify for financial aid for a while because I messed up my GPA, but I'm staring to get it back on track this past two semesters so I might qualify for some this coming semester.
Um, I'm sorry if this is very long or all over the place. If you need any more details then please let me know and I'll tell you

You could definitely sell your car. The easiest way would to go to a CarMax, tell them you'd like to trade in your 2012 civic for a 2006 civic. They'll do all the shit
>>
>>18522161
I don't know a ton about cars, but would that be a decent trade off?
>>
>>18522188
Your car will be worth more, so you'll get money back from the trade in. But yeah as long as it's in good condition, Honda Civics are built to last. I have a 2006 Civic with 135,000 miles on it. I'm sure I'll easily get 250,000 out of it.

Is this normal? Is it likely due to my dietary and workout changes? Could it be me travelling by plane? Sorry if this is a medical question but I don't know where else to ask.
Also, note:
>doctors told me to get some herb pills and drink mineral water so I'm not sure what to do

I also started eating less

>>18521283
My response is exactly the same now as it was earlier. Jesus fucking christ what are you eating on a daily basis.
Pretty sure I'm now the 'other woman', any advice?
I've been fwb's with a guy who lives about 4 doors down from me for a while now. About 2 months ago he got a started dating someone, but said they weren't exclusive yet so we kept hooking up pretty regularly. Recently he's been acting weird, and acting like he's sneaking our hookups. I'm starting to think he's misrepresented their relationship to me, and in fact our continued hooking up would be a problem if the girl he is dating knew.
Should I cut this cut off or continue on since their relationship is their business? Is it possible to stay friends if I do cut off the sex? Any advice?

Just ask the dude to be honest about what's going on. If he isn't answering you honestly, you'll be able to tell. Either way, you'll know what to do next.

When I ask him, he says it's all good. Then, a day later, he's dodging me like I'm infected with something. It's all very fishy.

Don't mess with someone who can't be honest with you, you deserve better than that.

>I don't think about her anymore
It's just a lie, partially because people don't know how to speak.
What they're trying to say is, that by moving on with their lives and no longer living in the past, they have recovered from their obsession.
>>
If you keep second guessing whether or not you are "actually" over it you never will be. You HAVE to focus on the present and not have a sour grapes attitude or compromise your principles because you're lonely.

i've been going out with this girl i am super into for some time now, and the feelings were mutual... spending great time together. we never took it further than kissing, but we really do understand each other and i somehow feel in love. she has to move away to another country in two weeks and she asks to stop our relationship and she (and i) really want to stay friends.
how do i let go and stay friends, but make myself break this relationship in my head? we already decided to quit, but i'm still holding my feelings, and even not with her, i think to myself that i will always be looking for her even with other women i end up meeting. what do i do with this /adv/?
it's weird

You'll keep having feelings for her for some time. The only thing you can do is be patient.
>>
>>18521288
saying the feelings will fade away if i don't see her in person? valid point, though what happens when/if i see her again after some time?
i'm also scared i'll tend to look for her traits in other women in find in the meantime...

Sup adv
I'm a woman in my late twenties. I always had very low sex drive and almost no interest in guys (or girls) or in romantic or sexual relationships. It never bothered me because I just assumed it's my nature and I'm cool with that
About 6 months ago I met a guy with whom I clicked almost right away. We started exchanging snapchats, talking about some secretive stuff, ect. You know how it goes.
Some time ago I realised I think about him much more often than I usually think about my friends and I started having dreams about him, usually very vanilla but still erotic. It's escalating and now whenever I think about him, I somewhow end up daydreaming about being close with him sexually and emotionally. I feel extremely guilty about it because it's like I'm using our friendship as a wank material and I know it's horrible but I can't stop myself. No amount of distractions and extra hours help
I have 3 questions regarding this situation
>is it normal?
>how do I make it stop?
>do I tell him?

Yes. Don't feel guilty, its normal.

>do I tell him?
Yes. Tell him you're interested and would he like to go in a date.
If he says yes that's great and you can get to know him sexually.
If not, no worries, take it in your stride and move on.

Anyone here a guitarist or knows stuff about guitars? I would like to replace my cheapie and narrowed down to two possible candidates, but I don't know shit about such things. I just play for fun and don't hang around internet communities related to guitars and amps, so I have nowhere else to ask.
How do I know if a guitar is objectively "better" than another, or how do I know if it is worth the money? I don't want to buy another trash guitar like the one I already used and abused for all these years, and since the price is remarkable (for my poorfag pockets. both are under 200EUR but such is life of the poors) I would like help from someone more seasoned than me.
Also, would posting the model and/or the specs of both help?

I know anon, I know. Would like to get something better, but I'm on a tight budget. And I'm not a pro anyway.
>>
How tight is your budget? Average to above average guitars usually are in the range 450-1000 euros to my experience. The quality is really hard to judge if you get to play the instrument only for a few minutes. Besides that usually happens in music stores that put smaller strings to make it seem playing less difficult and problematic. For example you should check how often the neck tends to bend and needs to be adjusted and how much "whip-like" the notes being played with a bent neck sound, how much using the tremolo bar or doing bendings etc. alter the tuning afterwards, how much sustain you have, the lifespan of the frets (are they in nickel? steel?), the sensitivity of the wood to humidity. These are things hard if not impossible to judge in few minutes, especially considering that if you are using other equipment that will alter the perception of the results. Also depending on the genre you want to play a guitar might sound bad to you and good to someone else. This is why I don't particularly like who suggest lightheartedly a specific guitar, and prefer saying a price range instead, since it usually represents quite accurately the quality of a guitar, all factors considered. I had to learn that the hard way, since I had a cheap guitar (around 150 euros) for the first two years and god, the difference with a 600 euros one is really noticeable. Ultimately however it's almost impossible to know if a guitar is objectively better than another at the same price, since you should examine both in all those aspects and most likely buy them for that

Why are women so weird?
I don't even have female friends anymore..,they're more like acquaintances. I don't get them but I probably should because I'm one of them. They're usually so passive aggressive, fake and sensitive. I don't understand how men can handle dating them. It's like walking on eggshells because you can't say certain things and on top of that they talk about the most boring things. Like ill talk to a guy for hours about stupid funny shit but with girls I have to talk about how I'm feeling, their day, their cat, what I bought, listen to their life story. Why?
