How to take a good photo at a photographer? I need a CV photo but they photograph me from my worst side: like I can't chill up and smile or even just make a natural expression when they tell me to tilt my head 1.78 degrees up and to the left. I can take good selfies without any angles and it just werks.

hey, adv. I need some help

in August of last year I met a girl at my job, she's 21, and Im 25. from when I saw her I just had to get to know her. over the course of the month we start connecting and i finally get the courage to ask her out. she tells me she has a kid, I still go for it because I don't think having a kid is automatically a disqualifier. so we have a good date and continue to go out over the winter. around this time she tells me she likes me but doesnt want to rush into a relationship which is cool. when christmas time came we gave each other, gifts. around this time I ask if she wants to be official she says not yet, although she keeps asking me about future things like moving in, buying a house, if i want any children, typical girl questions. we still havent had sex till this day but she will constantly make jokes and touch me flirtatiously, but anytime I attempt such things she gets upset. even if its just me holding her by the waist and talking to her, she'll slowly try to pull away. Is this a result of trauma? or is she just playing me? because I know she likes me because she will buy me things and make sure im okay and text me all the time, we make dinner together and I even met her mom. but still to this day we are not a couple and no closer to than a few kisses when I leave her house.

help me adv should I just end this because I don't want egg on my face if she was just monkey branching me

So I just asked out this girl I've liked for a long time now and have come to love over time, said yes and that she really liked me too (´・ω・`). We went on a few dates only for her to call it off even though we both said to each other and our friends that it went really well. I recently found out that she's moving in 2 months and that is the reason why, because I love this girl I was wondering about how I should go about this to be able to stay with her. I've sent her about 200 e-mails over the past 3 days because she hasn't been at work or in school so I've been worried for her, she still has yet to reply, I hope this is enough information to help guys. (´・ω・`)

My dad is annoyed with me because I don't want to get a job with my science degree or work in an office. I want to just work barista jobs. I can't find lab work and I'm not an office work person. My resume is well written however I am held back by having an ethnic name, dark skin and an anxiety disorder. How can I explain to my dad that I want to apply for jobs that I can get as opposed to applying to work for office jobs which I lack the skills and experience for?

I live with my parents btw.

I'm not an educated man. However, I've come to a personal conclusion that the Christian God is a nonsensical shit-bird.

I can go into why later and tip my fedora/moonwalk into the cosmos, but this thought is very distressing to me. The idea that I will die, and I will not exist, and that therefore nothing I do really has much importance has really gotten my mood and motivation down for the past 10 years.

It seems like people who believe in God have a purpose, and they live their lives as such, and are happier more distracted people for it. I want that. Or at least some idea that resonates and can keep the fucking thought of how shitty life is out of my head.

So can you help me with that?

Is it racist that I currently am turned on by black women?
For me it's just like when you favor some personality or hair color type, but I'm unsure how other people might see it. I know that there are many different types of black/brown skin colored girls and also their hair, but somehow I'm drawn towards them at the moment and find them sexy in general. Is it weird when I go especially for black girls when it comes to dating? I'm white btw

Hi /adv/. I am a 25y/o male and am struggling to find a partner. Note that I said partner and not fuckbuddy/fling. I'll be straight up and say that I was very shy when I was younger but had a few girls interested in me. I've come out of my shell and try my best to just ask out girls that attract me, but I like to take things slow and get to know their character first. However I haven't had much luck(But I also haven't asked out that many) and only ever got one girl to "date", which lasted about a week before I ended things due to being very insecure at the time. It's been four years since and I've had girls hit on me, but usually wanting sex and saying dumb shit like "I've never been with a black guy" as if that's all I wanted. I even had a couple friends ex's try to sleep with me, but I turned them down for the sake of my good friends. Long story short; I'm not sure what to do anymore with myself. I make good money, have a business and try my best to be an upstanding person. Am I simply not going out enough?(I can be a recluse honestly) or am I failing at something? The last date I went on was with this stylist girl, we went out twice and she grew distant after the second date. I asked her if she was still interested and she told me that she wasn't and that I was "just not for her". This is the third time I've heard this phrase and it worries me that I'm doing something wrong beyond the initial attraction. So far this year I've asked out two girls, the stylist and one that already had a bf that I didn't know about.

I really don't want to start having casual sex and picking up girls in bars/clubs or be treated like a sex object. What can I do? Everyone keeps telling me that I'll find a nice girl that'll suit me one day, but I turn 26 soon and while I don't care to wait; I want to make sure I'm actually being patient and not simply failing.

So I'm a 22 year old guy studying at university and I'm having a very hard time to focusing on studies because I'm thinking about fucking girls every day every minute.

It doesen't help that the gender ratio in my class is 80% female and 20% male and that most of those girls are above average looking.

I don't watch porn or masturbate because I get addicted far too easily.

I already work out every day and do fine on my exams but as soon as I'm not doing something I start to daydream about pussy.
What do I do?

Is suicide always a sign of weakness?

I don't understand why so many people are reluctant to die regardless of how worthless their life becomes and how little they enjoy being alive.

I don't ask to be edgy. I just feel like life gets worse and worse, and that my own capacity to appreciate let alone enjoy being alive has diminished to the point where a major overhaul of my value system and perspective is required if I'm to wake up each day and look forward to the future.

Things have gone downhill in the past couple of years but I know one of the reasons I haven't snapped completely is that I'm still relatively young (25) and still riding that youthful optimism train which dictates that my relatively youthful appearance and the fact I have a job means I am ideologically secure and still have the potential to live a life that seems worthwhile to me.

But really my instincts are now encouraging me to give up and quit playing along and do what I know is ultimately right, which is to end my life.

Any response please?

Sorry for the long post.

I'm a 24 year old Australian dude looking for advice on getting expat work, preferably in the US or Canada. My work background is mostly in business admin stuff, but I'm a qualified barista and bartender and would love to work in those fields abroad. I've looked into it a bit, and it seems difficult to justify getting an expat for a relatively entry-level job, so what other qualifications would set me apart and make me preferable to a local? I have a Certificate in Business, and am not opposed to getting more vocational certificates to make myself more employable.

ever since i was around 16-17 i've had a difficult time displaying emotion even if i feel any at all. i've been diagnosed with depression/anxiety yaddah yaddah. i dated a schizo for two years and he always had that "flat/blunted face affect" from the disorder and i think it somehow rubbed off on me possibly. anyway, i'm in a new relationship and the person im dating says i always come off as cold and sort of scary/unapproachable. he says i never display emotion at all and it's hard to read what i'm thinking at any given time.

half the time i feel no emotion/mild emotion but he said the other half of the time when i'm happy/sad he still can't see any emotion at all.

how do i fix this?
