Let's say you only hit on them because they attract you more than all other girls.

Is it reasonable to want a girl solely because of her looks and nothing more ?

>a girl soley because of her looks and nothing more

depends on what you mean by 'want'. like you see a random girl on the street and like the way she looks so you go flirt with her. yes, thats fine, how are you supposed to know anything other than how she looks?

but if you are long term dating someone you have no romantic interest in but like her look, then thats bad.

were not supposed to hit on people we dont find reasonably attractive. and we all have types. until recently i only liked guys with curly hair. now its ginger guys. its okay to have a type. it doesnt mean you ONLY want them for their looks, but looks are the first motivator.

theres nothing wrong with that. its kinda like a job application. if someone doesn't have a good resume, you don't bother looking deeper than that.

in dating your looks is your resume, then a date is an interview, and if both check out, and you're a match, you're good.
>>
Some people only care for looks but the relationship might not last long, if you are look for a long term relationship. Most young people date around based on looks.

But of all looks why did you choose hair color? Does it matter if she is a true blonde?
>>
If you are only attracted to blondes, nothing wrong with only chasing them. Still leaves plenty of variety.

>reasonable to want a girl etc
No, it literally is not. If you are in a relationship you spend a lot of time with someone. If you have kids together, have shared financial worries, shared family issues etc than you bet it matters more to your day to day quality of life whether she can cook, whether she is patient and can communicate, whether is affectionate etc than exactly how aesthetic her face and body are. However, this is something many people learn in the process of living. It is normal to, to some extent, be disproportionally fascinated with beauty.

Are you kidding me you can't make an account on Tinder without linking it to your Facebook? Why the fuck would I want that, why the fuck would I be forced to do that?

Why do you people do it? Does creating a fake Facebook account nowadays work?

>>18311917
sure it does. It doesn't have to be fake. Use your real first name (as it shows up o tinder) and make up your last if you want to maintain anonymity. Tighten up all privacy settings and you're all set.

Tinder really does work for sex/hook ups if you're into that kind of thing. I recommend you don't be into it for too long though.

How do you deal with this shit /adv/, breakups are bad enough but when you live so close you can see each others flats AND share the same social group, holy shit how do you get the space to heal?

What were you thinking when you got into this relationship?
>>
Life moves on man, you should too. Learn what you can, feel what you must and minimze your losses. Don't bother to understand her, as far as you're concerned she's a dumb who and she can go fuck herself. Focus on /you/ instead.

>>18311873
Chill, captain hindsight.

You fucked up by getting with a girl who gets over an ex by fucking strangers just days after the breakup. You should have figured she was like this from her personality, she was your girlfriend afterall.
Even worse, you shared friends and both live very close.

This is your fault for having a poor judgement of character, and not thinking ahead. Never share the same friends as your girlfriend, especially without knowing her.

Move away, find new friends and learn from your mistakes. Or get over her, which should not be too hard with how shes acting.

I can't take living as a dropout.

You get shit on at every family gathering. Nobody respects you anymore. Any effort at picking up the pieces and trying to recover is referred to in patronizing, condescending terms. And even if you do eventually go back to college and graduate one day, they will never stop talking about the first time you failed. There is no forgiveness.

I can't drive because I have no money for lessons, and not even the retail stores want to hire me.

No, it isn't the only chance. Enlist in a community college, get your grades up and reapply. If you want to take a military route use it to help pay for your education.
>>
>>18311547
to get back into college I need money, they''l snap and throw me out if I take student loans.
>>
>>18311555
The military does a great deal to help with paying for college if you give them a few years of your life. When you talk with a recruiter ask them about the path to college and how they can help. Otherwise consider a trade school. Don't think your life is over. You can be extremely successful without college as well if you have a plan. Generally though it is a safe bet to go to college or a trade school.

I am madly in love with my mother. I want to marry her. I'm a 25 year old man and she is 49, separated from my father since before I was born.

This isn't some incest fetish or fantasy, I truly want to be in a romantic lifelong relationship with my mom. I don't want to fuck her, I want to make love to her passionately, I want to provide for her, care for her, support her, massage her, talk to her, comfort her, cuddle with her, be her partner, and be her protector...

I don't know how to try and instigate this relationship, and the potential ramifications of this going sideways would be disastrous.

Please help me, I've hidden these feeling for years and I don't know if I can hide it much longer.

my father has some serious issues.. he once beat me till i could hardly breathe. im 19 now so i was 16 then, however throughout my entire childhood he beat me.. not just beating, punches to the face, for even the most meager reason, unfortunately ive never done anything about it. because i thought he may straighten out his aggression, now i do have witnesses including my mother who all are certainly on my side, my father is a bigot and hypocrite; biggest i know infact, anyone who knows him closely would agree however he tries his hardest to show a facade of niceness when around people he doesnt discriminate against, he'll go as far as wasting money on them so he seems like a likable guy, he is terrible at managing his money to say the least, i know these all seem like bold statements, but hes also abused my mom, i do however have proof of his aggression. but at the time the memory in my phone was full and i couldnt catch the abuse part, when hed abuse me hed go off and try to "buy me off" as to keep my mouth shut; i now have a muscle twitch, i really hate to admit to that due to being a tad bit self conscious about it. he has the highest stage of diabetes stage 4 i believe (with an average blood pressure of 240-270), very noticeable memory problems, very repetitive, hes an over the road truck driver home home 2 times out of the week and; keeps taking longer off (witch is understandable) damaging our money but thats besides the point, every time he comes home he says the same thing over and over again as if hes got some kind of mental problem.. unfortunately i dont think i have enough time to type everything needed out however these are the basics i guess.. im asking if there is anything i could do about this.. i dont necessarily want him in prison. he would not stand for that. hes the kind "that wouldnt get taken alive" so to speak, hes just unreasonable.. i couldnt count the amount of times i got my face covered in blood.

FAQ:
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?

There is no one answer. Preferences differ, but complexes are always a turn-off.

Ask them out.

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.

guys I'm about to be kicked out my house for not having a job and I really need to figure out why I'm not being hired

>drop out of decent college because I couldn't afford payments (sophomore, no degree)
>parents say they will kick me out if I don't start working and they only support me while I'm "doing something with my life" (in this case going to college)
>good GPA in both, honor roll, lots of extracurricular activities, clubs and shit
>but no job experience because I went straight from high school to full-time college by will of my parents

okay its been aroughly 5 months and I've been putting in applications almost every day. for the past months and a half I've been doing as many as I fucking can, at least 20 online a week and then 2-3 days a week driving to nearby places. I'm even running out of places that I haven't applied to in the area. I apply to EVERYWHERE, from fast-food entry level shit, manual labor, to higher up stuff like bank tellers and paid apprenticeships.
I have
>a well written resume and cover letter when its needed
>good social skills, not a sperg or anything like that
>always asks questions and try my best to act confident and interested in the position
>always dress my best regardless of where it is
>if possible meet the hiring manager and introduce myself (rarely get the chance though)
>almost always call back if I don't get a rejection response, results vary buts its never resulted in me getting hired
>always write about skill I have relevant to the job even if I have to stretch the truth because of no experience
>use professors as my references
>always do my best to fill out the inventory and surveys, they're usually easy and I have good mental math skills

I've put in maybe 100-125 applications now, probably 75 of those were online. its slowing down. sometimes I'll re-apply to the same place and the website will let me know I'm already in the system or won't let me continue. I've gotten 6 interviews so far. all of them went well. 2 fast-food places, 1 grocery store, 1 department store, 1 gym, 1 sit-down restaurant as dishwasher. NONE of them called me back. I called back each place and asked about my application politely about a week after applying. some responded, some didn't even act like they knew who I was and kept passing me around to managers.

seriously, what the FUCK is going wrong? I've kept a good attitude so far but its really starting to freak me the fuck out.

My bf is 17 and his parents are threatening to commit him into a psych ward. He's told me the entire story and I feel like it's really wrong, but can't find any information about it at all.
He was diagnosed with depression and has a therapist, but he never threatened his parents or his own life. So can he be involuntarily committed?
I'm scared because he's really scared. They basically hate him and next time he argues with them they said they're gonna take him to the hospital.

He is 17. One more year and he is legally free from his parents. If you can't wait for that try for emancipation. That doesn't work, you can probably get him legally free from his parents if they have been that much of an asshole to him. Look up various legal offenses you could nail the 'rents with (harassment, abuse, etc.). You could talk to your own parents about it, their help will go a HUGE way no matter what.
>>
He probably can be involuntarily committed in special circumstances, but if he's only diagnosed with depression and isn't at risk of killing himself (or others) I don't think anyone would commit him to a psych ward, even if he asked.

If his parents really hate him and are trying to fuck up his life he can call child protection services on them, those people take these things very seriously. But you're only hearing one side of the story here, I don't think everything is as he makes it sound.
>>
>>18312684
That's true but I've witnessed his parents many times so I believe what he says. Obviously he has problems, but they're trying to use them against him.
They couldn't just say "he's acting erratic" or lie and say he said he was suicidal, to get him committed?
>>18312680
Parents won't let him move out, they'd call the cops on him. And apparently you can't get emancipated if you're ""mentally ill""?

Hi there

A few days ago I made a post about my boyfriend who insists that he's an egg and a lot of you found it funny but didn't help me come up with any actual solutions.

Nothing has changed. He still wants me to call him "egg" or "the egg" and only refers to himself with like.... egg terms (asking if I'm going to crack him, referring to his shell, talking about making food with himself, etc). At this point, I've kind of gotten used to it and accepted that this is just who he's choosing to be at this point in his life but he recently (Thursday) ran away and left a note saying that he did it because he was tired of my "constant covert attempts to crack and cook the egg". He has not been answering his phone, hasn't shown up to work and he doesn't have any friends so I don't know where he could have gone so I'm very worried about him. He's a shut in so he doesn't have any favorite spots for me to check and literally no one that we both know has heard from him. What should I do?

If it's been 24 hours go to the local police station and file a missing persons report. Include all this egg information, every detail they can and explain to them you think he may be a danger to himself. If what you are saying is true he is clearly suffering from some sort of delusion and paranoia. He needs help.

So I'm German living in the UK and my boyfriend is British.

He's always teased me, nicely, about my accent and I really do think we have something special going on.

Recently he bought me a pair of German flag panties and, after a lot of convincing, I wore them in bed with him a couple times and made sure to keep them on during the act.

Now he's just sent me a picture of, not a joke, a pair of swastika panties. I asked if he was joking and asked how he'd feel if I made him dress up as a slave or one of those Jim Crowe black stereotypes. He said I should sleep on it but that its more like me making him wear an Africa pendant.

I do find the taboo hot, and I know he really gets off on it but if a relative or friend even caught glimpse, I'd be ostracised. Not to mention how morally wrong it is.

I suppose what I want to know is how you handle these kinds of boundaries in a relationship. Its a moral thing but not a moral thing like loyalty and honesty.

Sorry if this sounds inane, I know there are threads with deep problems but I'm still a bit stuck.

Who the fuck would see that besides him???

I seriously doubt this has deeper meaning than him wanting you to be a mean nazi girl or roleplaying a war prisoner or some shit like that

considering you have complete control over who does and who does not get to see your knickers, I don't get the problem here.

also, going out into the streets to beat up jews would be morally wrong, sporting a tiny logo on your underpants in the privacy of your own bedroom in an effort to spice up your love life wouldn't. not even if the logo is a nazi swastika.
