Depends,if u have a high tolerance for annoying shit, if u want a good grade I advice u take the one with a private room
>>
>>18189241
Whichever is cheaper.

>>18189241
Option b. You need privacy. Imagine jerking off. If you live in a dorm room, every one jerks off in the bathroom. Do you really want to jerk off where 3 other dudes already had?

Also, take the bus for a bit. It's not that bad. I used to, just get a bus pass.

Fucking help me. Please.

So a bit of context:

Current relationship I'm in with gf has made my world and shit and God I love her. Recently, she's been talking about how she can't wait to have sex with me. I'm a virgin and she isn't, she's only been with a few guys in her life. She's really enthusiastic about wanting to fuck me and I don't know how to feel about this. I never much cared for sex as edgy as it sounds but now I feel a bit intimidated and well, I just don't know how to feel about this.

Wot do.

If you have a question, just ask.

I just feel like I'm get my dick blown the hell out. She wants into some pretty kinky stuff so like, how do I prepare for that?
>>
>>18189428
She knows your virgin so you can just ask to take the kinky stuff slow and just enjoy it.
Everyone would be nervous to jump into kinky stuff the very first time they have sex. Also sex is good only if both do enjoy it, talk to her.

Hi s/adv/irgins,

In short:

> 24
> software engineer at a big company in London, earn a lot, save a lot, rent my own flat, killing it career/money wise for a while now
> don't drink/smoke/do drugs
> dress well/look good, too thin, have started working out again this year but will take a while longer to look great without a shirt on
> last "proper" relationship was 4 years ago
> 2 years ago had a short relationship with a girl that was a psycho; experience demoralized me and I took a big hit to my self-confidence
> since then nothing, haven't met lots of single women, the ones I'm interested in are taken

I don't think I'm depressed, but since my last experience, I've been periodically going through episodes of loneliness, in which I become very sad and lose energy to do things. I've tried using OkCupid and Tinder but I don't receive lots of matches, don't get replies to most of my messages, and haven't managed to date anyone through these apps in 3 years of on/off use. I've stopped using them because they eat up too much time for no results.

There aren't a lot of women at my workplace. I go to social gatherings with my friends but rarely are there women I don't already know at those. I used to go to meetups for stuff I'm interested in but those didn't have lots of women either. I travel a lot but it's mostly alone and I haven't had success meeting anyone so far that way.

I know I have a funneling problem. What can I do to fix it?

OP you are pretty much me, but younger. I am 29, work in a small town in the NYC area, make an ass ton of money for which I have no use for. Unlike you I do like to drink alcohol, my only hobbies are reading and playing video games. I travel once or twice around the world a year alone. Last and only relationship was two years ago.

Sometimes I think I am just wasting my fucking time. What's the point of grinding this money anyway?

I'm probably sounding like an idiot, but I need help buying a new mattress. It sounds so simple, but wading through the endless stream of marketing, personal opinions and false information makes it really hard for me to make a decision.

how much money should I drop on a new mattress?
are ikea mattresses good enough or do I need to go to more expensive, specialized shops?

>>18189166
Go to shop. Try very one and each of them personally with your own back.

Dont buy the cheapest and definitely dont buy the most expensive either.

I have found out mattresses from foam are easier to transport (you can roll them without damage), it doesnt alert your surroundings when you have sex and has 9999 options on hard / soft and other features.

Just ask clerk in shop to give you run down. It is very subjective which you want. Also take measures of your bed so you know the size of your bed.
>>
>>18189217
This, but also haggle them on the price. Write down the make and model of this mattress and threaten to take your business somewhere else.

The Markup on mattresses is insanely high, so you have a lot of space to negotiate.

I just turned 18 and this is giving me a bit of anxiety...For awhile I wanted to do computer science but I'm just not good enough at math and my mom told me to make sure it's something I wanted to do

I wanted to do photography but my brother said photographers don't make a living so now I'm just really confused at what to do, I want a STEM career but like I said MATH (pic unrelated)

Find the most comfy way to support yourself, then focus on your photography till you hit grandmaster level and can make a living off it.

I'm studying Comp Sci right now and my math foundation was awful. I started at a community college, taking Intermediate Algebra and worked my way up yo Differential Equations.

If you tell yourself you're bad at math, you're only holding yourself back. Just take the classes and build a solid foundation. I spent hours upon hours studying but I got through the material and got accepted into a top 10 Uni for my major.

Just pursue it and I think you will surprise yourself.

As of now I have a gf, and I am sexually turned on by her, however I have had crushes on other men. I could never picture a relationship with them though, only the sex portion. What's this mean?

Go to swimming pool. Stay in showers for a while and find out if some bqtie catches your eye.

And no, you can be bi sexual and still keep your gf. Get her into pegging / prostate massage to experimence both worlds.

I'm hoping for some advice on pursuing your dream job or life. How did it work out for you? Did it crash and burn, were you successful? Where are you now? I'm just about the turn 30 and I have always made the safe decisions in life. Its worked out pretty well but I find myself overwhelmingly unsatisfied. I really feel my work life balance is probably totally screwed. Not to mention my once awesome state is being fucking overrun with people making cost of living rocket out of control. Even with a 6 figure income I watch the opportunity in my city dry up plus its just not the same place I grew up in and loved. My girlfriend and I are ready to move and start over from scratch, but like anyone I have the fear that if I'm unsuccessful I'll have shot myself in the foot. So people who said fuck it and moved and tried for their dream job and life, how did it go? Would you do it again success or failure?

It depends. What's your dream job? Are you suddenly thinking of pursuing acting but have never hit the stage a day in your life? Want to write the next great American novel but haven't written anything more grandiose than an office memo in ten years? You're not gonna make it.

The problem is getting your dreams perverted and fucked with too, because so much shit is out of your control. I got a job doing social media for a division of SEGA, which was a total dream for me. I fucking loved it, creating content, doing stupid shit with Sonic, showing up to community events with games, etc. I got to flex my creative muscles and work for a company I loved. But they sold off that division, and instead I ended up with bosses who didn't give two shits about community or content, and I spent most of my time updating websites, filling out spreadsheets, and making Facebook ads to show profit, profit, profit. New leadership kept giving me more and more bullshit stuff that they thought they could force me to do, and I eventually ended up hating the job and the dream was dead.

But all of the profit driven shit I did pushed me into digital marketing, so while I do nothing creative now, I make 3x my former salary working for a much more successful company fucking with spreadsheets all day, with my dream of writing one day all but dead.

I currently work as a General Contractor, all the permitting and legal bullshit is making me go slightly crazy. Not to mention dealing with constant project delays fucking up time lines and job profit. I have been brewing beer for about 6 years and really enjoy it. So I would be looking at moving somewhere where there isn't a brewery and opening up shop in a tourist town or small city. I have never been able to work for a company so that is out of the question and I really would like to be out of construction. If it all goes to hell I'm sure I could go back into being a contractor but it would be less than desirable.

How do I get information out of my former boss to figure out why he fired me? I delivered pizzas for a new pizzeria in town for 4 months until last week. After my shift, before I even got home, my boss called and said it's been very slow and there's no more room in the schedule for me, so he has to let me go. I was one of three drivers and worked most days alone until the night rush, including 5 full days the week I was fired. Today I saw a car I didn't recognize with the pizza shop's topper on it, meaning they have another driver and probably were looking to replace me. I pick up my last check on Friday, how to ask my boss why he fired me without seeming like an ass?

Of course I'm gonna ask him, but I want to do it smoothly so I get the truth and not a lie or him just telling me to go.
>>
>>18189075
his reasoning isn't going to change anything

get a different shit job, and preferably one where you don't have to abuse your own car.

>they give over paid warehouse salesman their own company cars and gas cards
>you have to drive down pothole ridden residence streets in your own personal vehicle to get a 2 dollar commission if you're lucky.

I get that the pizza sells itself, but it sure as shit doesn't deliver itself.

I'm currently coming out of depression, and so now I feel emotions again, far more than I have for the past year (I was extremely apathetic). For example, I've started crushing on a girl, but it's making me feel like shit because I don't know if it'll work out etc.

Everything seems to give me massive mood swings and I'm afraid of falling back in to depression. I'm currently practising mindfulness but I am worried that is just going to make me apathetic again.

I can sometimes just let the feeling slide but it's very persistent. Any advice?

To feel is wonderful. Now you must learn to control your emotions, this takes time.
Fear is paralyzing, it kills you dead. Find understanding of yourself somehow.

Are you on any drugs? And how is your physical health?

It takes time for your body mind and soul to recover from long term depression.

>unsure if she will cancel on me
>really wanted to bring my bf or just anyone with me so I'm not alone because she's a psycho
>everyone can't come with me because they're at work

If she cancels on me, what do? I am so fed up with this. I know if I show frustration towards her, she just immediately martyrs herself and threatens "W-well, I am just trying to give your dad his stuff back, if you don't want it I'll just throw it out." However, I feel like she's just gonna keep giving me the run around.

But, if this actually goes through, is meeting up with her alone a good idea? Should I tell her I can't until someone can come with me? A little back story, she tried to claim that my dad beat her when he didn't lay a hand on her, and literally almost destroyed his reputation considering the field he works in.

Also, the apartment she wants to meet at, it isn't even her living area. It's literally a random apartment as far as I know. Maybe her friend's place, I have no idea. Also the exit is like bumfuck nowhere. Not even a restaurant for miles. I asked if we could meet up at a public place, and she said the front of the apartment is "public"

The whole thing has got me creeped out and I don't wanna go alone. If I cancel on her, we'll probably never see this stuff.

>>18188890
Physical possessions aren't worth risking safety over, just let it be until/unless she'll meet you somewhere you're comfortable with, or you can bring someone with you.
It's just not worth risking your safety, and I'm sure your dad would rather you are safe than have the stuff.

For the longest time I was your typical shut in. Recently I've been working on improving myself (dressing and grooming myself better, socializing more, having a better mentality, etc). I've recently noticed that in public, women are checking me out a lot, and while it's a nice confidence booster, it's something I still can't really get used to so it's triggered my natural aspie response of acting "cold and stoic" and gives them the idea I'm not interested. It's part being awkward and part being content with being alone a lot, for the most part.

This is still the opposite effect of what I want though, naturally. So if anyone has had a similar experience, of going from getting no attention from women to suddenly catching women checking you out a lot or anything of the sort, I'd like to hear about it, how you dealt with it, etc

Do yourself a favor and lie about your name and party with people in places you'll never revisit or do ever again so you can learn how to socialize with 0 consequences.

That desire to talk about it is strictly a product of the fact that you're still not over it. In time, you will be, and you'll be glad you never went groveling back about friendship or closure because you just won't fucking care anymore.
