Hey all, quick question. Is it weird to be an almost 30 year old guy working in a grocery store?

I've been in a retail helpdesk position for the past two years after getting an IT degree, and I have reason to suspect the head manager is looking to fire me. The job itself is fun and my coworkers are great but I don't get any kind of benefits or anything other than my pay, around $15/hr. I haven't had a vacation or even a weekend since I started. I've been applying for other tech related jobs but they're few and far between and I'm not a wealthy dude so I can't just move across the country.

A local grocery store just opened up a prepared foods position and they're paying around $11/hr, but also offers three weeks paid vacation, 100% health/vision/dental insurance, life insurance, a 401k, discounts on food, free gym membership, and either an unlimited bus pass or a free bike depending on how you want to commute (there's no employee parking).

I guess my question is, is a job like that embarrassing or is it okay? I know my family would pull the "we didn't send you to college so you could wash dishes and have people wait on you hand and foot" but those seem like some pretty decent perks. Thoughts?

How can I (male late 20s) best help my partner (female late 20s) get rid of her self-consciousness/mental block towards sex?

We have been together for 6 years now and her libido is significantly less than mine (like once a month or less is fine for her whereas I am a multiple times per day if I have the time kind of guy).
She is also not very adventurous and has some kind of problem where she will be enjoying something and then suddenly decide that she does not enjoy it and shut down.

As it is, somedays I feel more like she is just a best friend that I live with rather than a wife.
When I try to talk about this with her she tends to say things like "are relationships only about sex?" "do you only care about sex?" "I am not a prostitute" etc.

I still love her but if she has no interest in fulfilling my needs then I feel like I am going to have to end up looking elsewhere. I would not do anything to hurt her or lie about it. I would need her to know and agree to it first but I don't know how receptive she would be and if not then I don't know how this relationship could continue.

my girlfriend is the same for like a couple of mounth. Now whe have sex like once a week the most,and only doggy style. She doesn't suck my dick anymore,and dont let me spary the cum on her ass anymore. But on the bright side,i have sex with escorts and i consume my sexual need elsewhere.
>>
>>18222931
Send her to therepy

I couldn't deal with that shit. You are a saint my dude. I need a hoe in bed
>>
>>18222946
also i'm in my late 20s,and my advice to you is,look elsewhere for sex,and dont tell her anything. Women are very superficial,selfish bitches,and she would blame you for everything. Just keep your cool. Also my relationship is almost 8 years with her,in this time i had sex with more than 40 women,mostly escorts.

I'm a crossdresser but I consider myself straight. I've thought about it but I am not interested in experimenting with men. I've always been attracted to women. I just like dressing up like girls from time to time. It's very confusing to me, especially when the makeup and clothes come off and I have to return to the "man" world.

I've never had a girlfriend and I'm afraid my crossdressing will prevent me from ever getting one. At the same time, crossdressing is so exciting to me. It's erotic but also so liberating. I love trying on sexy feminine clothes, it's a part of me and I can't deny it anymore.

Advice?

Do you feel uncomfortable on your body (like you meant to born a female)? Or you just like girl clothes?
>>
>>18222954

I'm quite comfortable with my masculinity and I have no interest in identifying with the trans community. It's more of a fetish and brings me sexual gratification. Still, my female persona is becoming quite important to me as I spend lots of money and time on her. There is some worry that she might become stronger and more fulfilled and that might confuse me even more.

I want to be normal yet I can't run away from this lifestyle. I wish I could talk to someone like me.
>>
>>18222927
Crossdressing is very tame fetish. I dont see a problem finding girl who will tolerate it. With a bit of luck, you may put up dresses together and hit the town together and see if you manage to fool somebody to think you are girl as well.

>>18222972
The persona sounds dangerous thou. Go try to specialist. Maybe you are on edge with split personality. Putting panties, bra and wig wo have superb fap is one thing, but building your second ego is dangerous.

>I want to be normal
We all wish to be normal anon. But nobody is normal in the long run.

Hey /adv/

I have a systemic problem in my life.
i get intimidated too easily, its even gotten to the point where i have a friend that i hang with almost every day and i secretly dislike him. the problem is that he is so verbally agressive and dismissive of all my concerns.
when i tell him hes being rude he dismisses it (he studies philosophy anduses this to dismiss any emotional objections i have to his way of speaking to me) its become so bad that ive been agreeing with the things he said because he logic-forces me ito agreement. i dont know what to do. in every aspect of my life i get intimidated by a certain person, its almost like the intimidating people come find me and take advantage of me.

Please help me /adv/ i long to live my life like a free man.

Right now I'm doing "Media and Information," and yes, I'm starting to realize it's a waste of money and is essentially worthless. I want to change to something good but I hate math and just don't have the will to do something like medicine or law. The computer science program at my university is notoriously difficult and competitive so I'm not doing that. Can someone suggest something good? I'm not very smart, unfortunately, so I feel like my options are limited. Everyone suggests STEM degrees, but I'm not really good at and don't like math.

yeah, culinary for example. I usually come across as a smart kid but I'm lazy as fuck and would rather chop onions than fuck around with CAD software all day.
Culinary is the way to go. All you need is a good set of knives and a fuckton of make-belief you feed the interwiever with. Just tell them you see cooking as an art, for instance.

there's nothing wrong with media and information dude, step back and realize that your degree is what you make of it.

So I offended a friend by mistake a couple of weeks ago... someone I normally talk to every two days. I tried to apologize to her, and we were supposed to see a movie the next day, but that got canceled by her. Now I haven't heard from her at all.

To make things worse, I just had a falling out with that entire group of friends because they think I'm "morally despicable" for supporting United in that recent passenger thing.

Should I bother apologizing again or just leave her alone until/if she gets back to me? I've lost lots of friends recently over random things so this kind of sucks to lose someone I was talking to every day almost.

So should I always have a perpetual smile?
like sitting in class smiling at everyone?

A smile from me is like an evil grin. I should practice on raising my eyebrows a little.

Aren't guys who smile a lot seen as creepy?

Hey guys,

I'm trying to quit smoking. I've been a smoker since I was 15yo. When I was 23 I met a girl that soon became my girlfriend, since then I stopped smoking. But we broke up a couple of months ago. I started smoking again. Now I'm trying to quit again, but It's a lot harder than the last time. Any advices? Are e-cigs any good?

If you did it once you can do it again. The best advice I can give is to minimize contact with people who smoke.
>>
>>18222762
I'd at least try ecigs. You'll still ne addicted but at least you won't be fucking up your lungs on the daily.
>>
>>18222762
work on alternative methods to manage your stress since that is your trigger.

go to costco or sams or some other warehouse store and buy a bunch of hard candy. mints, lollipops, suckerduckers. also gum.
(alternatively wait until after easter and just buy it in a normal store)

I would guess you are horny underage teen with no prior sex experience who is not comfortable with his own private parts.

As for the bi part, go to swimming pool. If both ladies and gentelmans catches your interest, than you may be bi. But i bet one gender will spark more interest for you than the other.

How do I shake the feeling that I've done everything I'm ever going to want to do in my life already, and that the best days of it have passed me by?

I'm in my early 30s and I've lived a great life. Been to neat places, made lots of friends, climbed the corporate ladder for a bit, slept with some awesomely attractive girls, been in some relationships, own a reasonably nice house in a nice area with a nice car.

But that's it. I can't think of anything else. My friends have hit that dreaded "30s wall," where they don't want to do anything anymore, I'm uninspired by my career and have no real desire to move up, I haven't met any girl I give the slightest two shits about and don't even know where I'd look anymore, and I don't want kids.

Life is horribly depressing and I'm just shot. Like, what now? The only thing that inspires me is traveling, but I don't like doing it alone and that just continues the same old cycle.

Help?

>tells me she's an escort, but doesn't fuck her clients

Hello, /k/omando here, never posted in this bored. I have a sort of problem I hoped some of you folks could help me with, and that is I want to die in what appears as an accident. I have a fiance who knows I'm suicidal, so I want it to look like an accident. I don't want to use guns, and I don't want to just be another vet who kills himself. I'm just tired, I don't really want to die violently and painfully, saw too much of that for a lifetime already, cryin and dyin isn't exactly glorious. Any help? Will also answer /k/ related questions and questions about Syria and North Korea.

Seek psychiatric help. Either that or hire a mafia guy to take a hit out on you and make it look like a botched robbery so you can go down as a dumb hero who tried to save his wallet.

If you feel okay about drowning. Boat accident. Take a cruise or something and "fall over board" at night.
People in the Navy do it that way. Hours before people notice your missing.
Just remember to look like your having fun while your there. If you just go on a cruise look sad and disappear right away they will prob think suicide.
Helps if you get super drunk before. The story will be "got drunk and fell over board"
Good night sweet prince.

I don't know where to find a mob guy, and I have sought help. I just don't want to live anymore, I don't like the world, and my life isn't what I want, so I want out of this. It's that simple. I just don't place much value on my life.
I don't think there is a mob in SD, and cartels don't mess with white folks.
> Will answer questions
Idk, fishing for replies I guess. It's a hot topic right now, and I figured I could answer some questions. The media is reporting on everything quite wrong, or sensationalizing it at the very least.

I've been sick the last 3 days and it hasn't stopped me. Honestly I feel some sort of strange relief. The last three days have been filled with headaches, fevers, cold sweats all night and a couch with phlegm. When I smoke in this sick state it feels like it's concentrated on my head, or like pressure. But not painful or anything, it helps take my mind off of being really sick and I can space out watching tv or maybe try to eat something. It helps me sleep at night and not wake up constantly because my body temp is all out of whack. I woke up about 10 times two nights ago. It really sucked and I was too sick to want to get up to go smoke.

My girlfriend and I have a lot of issues but most of them are trivial and only result in her being pissed for an hour and then calming down again. Anyways, today was really bad. We made out a bunch and she got quite horny, as did I but I couldn't get a proper boner. Thought it was due the fact that I really needed to take a piss and so I did. Afterwards we tried to have sex but I couldn't keep a boner. Thought it was due the fact that I was hungry as fuck. She didn't believe me and thought I was making excuses. She got all sad and started posting in a thread here (will post screencap). She said she thinks it's her fault, that I don't find her attractive enough (which is utter bullshit, she is the most beautiful creature under god's sun) So I thought this has to be on me. I got on /gif and looked for a proper thread and still couldn't get a boner. After some searching I found something that aroused me and hence a boner. Told my gf and she wanted to get in. We sat down and watched shitty porn while she was stroking my dick and I fiddled around in her panties until she said "let's fuck", and so we did. I was really horny and so it was over quite fast. We hopped into the shower and she had this slightly sad/pissed look on her face. Asked her if everything was Ok, she said no but she won't talk about it with me.
>fuckyou.png
We sat down, had a cigarette, she started talking.
>it's fucking obvious, anon.
>It's me and you won't tell me because you always tell me what I want to hear.
>I don't believe you, anon

So here's my problem. The women I love won't believe me shit.
>>
>>18222608
Your girl's got two problems:
1) Low self-esteem
2) The belief that it is impossible for a man to not be in the mood for sex

Has there ever been a time when you wanted to have sex and she wasn't in the mood? If so, point that out to her. Ask her whether that was the result of her finding your unattractive or something else. Explain that it's the exact same situation for you. If she keeps trying to turn it into a pity party for herself, tell her that you don't appreciate having her take your inability to perform sexually on demand as a personal affront.

My wife used to do this all the time; trust me, you can tell her how attractive she is until you're blue in the face and nothing will change. Unfortunately, the solution here is to find a way to snap her out of it with logic, not to keep stroking her ego (even if you mean every word you say from the bottom of your heart). You need to make her understand that, because of how much you care about and love her, it's hurtful for you to have to listen to her not only putting herself down but pinning the blame for her negative feelings about herself on you.
>>
>>18222627

Thanks anon, some good advice right there. I tried it with logic and said to her that there have been plenty times when I was in the mood but she wasn't. She accepted that and said to me that for future reference I should tell her when I'm not in the mood and not force myself to sleep with her because that is what makes her feel shitty.
>how would you like it if I started faking orgasms?
I totally got that and thought the issue was resolved until I tried to get a boner and the whole thing got real shitty.

She has a lot of trust issues towards me because her last relationship was basically build on lies and destroyed her pretty much. She won't believe me anything because she know's that I lie a lot about the most banally things although I try to be as honest as possible towards her without hurting her. I sometimes feel like she wouldn't handle the truth and I couldn't stand the thought of hurting her since she's already quite fragile. I sometimes feel like this whole relationship was build on quicksand and sooner or later we will suffocate each other with our insecurities and narcissistic self hate.

Also yes, you're right. Her self-esteem is very very very low.

So five or six years ago I was kind of seeing this chick. Super hot, really into my hobbies, a lot of fun to hang with, but was wishy washy about what we were getting into. One of her friends called us out on this while we were all drinking, it turned into a fallout, and while she and I got into a fight she slept with another guy, got pregnant, and he of course didn't stick around.

After having the kid, she suddenly was real enthused about hanging around me and not being wishy washy but I completely shot her down.

Now I'm 30 and she's still hanging around out there, super hot still, single, into all of the things I am more than just about anyone... But, ugh, that kid thing. She hit me up to hang out. Should I let her into my life again or not?
