I've recently tried the online dating thing for the first time (OKCupid in particular since I hate my phone) and I've noticed something rather odd that doesn't match up with the girlfriends I had before, which I had met in real life.

I'm wondering if anyone here can shed clarification on it.

First off, I'm 28(almost 29), a part time college student and borderline /pol/ack. My confusion is largely based on how many girls I'm seeing online that say 'No' when the question "would you ever date someone who vocalized disliking another race blah blah' or something along those lines.

I live in the South, so maybe it's different in other states, but I have yet to have a girlfriend who wasn't either as "racist" as I was or even more so.

I'm curious as to whether it's a case of them answering it to widen the potential dating pool, if they're lying because they don't want to "look racist" themselves, or if they actually feel this way, or even if OKCupid just attracts these types of girls.

I've also noticed that some of them will have that particular answer as No, but then have the 'do you strong prefer to date someone of your own race' as Yes. It's confusing.

What it comes down to is: should I bother messaging these girls because they're either lying or don't actually care, or am I likely wasting my time?

I've already considered looking for other platforms though because holy shit it seems like 99% of the girls on this site are fat as fuck.

They probably aren't lying, but the thing with online dating is that progressives and liberals are heavier users of online social sites in general. Liberals cling to technology and innovation a lot more than conservatives do so most social media/dating site demographics tend to have a large left-leaning side.

Obviously there are exceptions but if you are just on a generalized "meet people near you" dating site then you're usually going to end up with more non-racists than racists.
>>
>>18056484

Let me get this straight, you are racist and only date racists and you're confused when you meet other girls who aren't racist?
>>
>>18056515
How do you explain the conflicting answers then?

I also don't know if I buy the second part though, considering either way I've always dated younger women than me, and I doubt there's a very large difference between left wing and right wing white women when it comes to internet usage when they're 19-26.

GUIDELINES:
Before you post a question, check the FAQ to see if it's already been answered.
Keep questions short for more answers.
If you're not going to like honest answers, don't ask your question.
And please no derailing arguments.

FAQ:
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
>What do girls/guys think about <an insecurity including, but not limited to: looks, physical traits, personality traits, virginity or otherwise lack of dating experience>
There is no one answer. Preferences differ, but complexes are always a turn-off.

>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Get over it by practising and exposing yourself to it, little by little, step by step. There is no single magical moment that will instantly change you forever.

>I like someone. What do I do?
>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out.

>Where do I meet girls/guys?
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.

>Someone has made it super clear they're no longer interested in me. Do I still have a chance?
No.

>Where do I go on a first (or subsequent) date?
Pick one or more of the following: coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, ice cream, movies, zoo, aquarium, museum, art gallery, <activity in your city>.

>Brandon, that guy who keeps asking about cuddling in platonic friendships and fart guy
Fuck off

What reasons might a girl have for completely avoiding me? We met about a little over a month ago and have been getting along great, we have a lot in common, our personalities work together, etc. It was good enough that I was going to ask her out the next time we met. However, about two, going on three weeks ago we spent the night together. We didn't have sex, but we came pretty close and we probably could have if I pushed it a bit more. In fact, I am pretty sure she knew what I was hinting at(you would have to be stupid to not have known, from my perspective). The night went great, pretty sure I didn't push too far for sex, and I thought we were still friendly. She hasn't contacted me since then, not even a reply to a text asking if she was doing anything that night. I briefly saw her in person, explained the screen on my phone broke(which it did) and to send me a text so I can add her to the contacts on my new phone. Brief encounter, but she seemed friendly. Of course she hasn't done so. I am definitely not bad looking(athletic, dress good, decent face), and as I said we get along great. Am I overthinking this or is she avoiding me? We are university student if that matters.

So what is working for me and actually isnt suppose to be the reason to lose weight is lose it for someone else. I lost my chance with a girl in my friend group who I met and she was perfect for me, we connected so well and all the other story book bullshit but I wasn't good looking enough and I didn't want to drag her down a level to mine. So I am losing weight so if I get lucky enough to get another chance by meeting a girl who is like her again, then I won't lose her.

You wont be able to do it on your own, if you were then you wouldn't be in this problem, same like me. Just find someone you want to be with, get denied and build from there. I was actually alot worse off then I am now. Before I met her I was like 240 and all gross, was talking really cringey, did really weird shit but she in a way made me grow up and mature alot more than I ever would of on my own.

We've been dating for less than a year but it seems like we've already become an old couple. Which is not as nice as it sounds. I'm a cute girl and have no problem getting male attention (which in couldn't care less about) but my boyfriend doesn't seem to notice when I am really trying to seduce him. He'd rather sleep or play video games. Which I get it because I game alot too but if it's been a while since we had sex I just don't get it. I'm starting to think he just has a much lower libido than I do and I'm questioning if I can live like this. I love sex alot more than most girls and I need it to function. Other than this we get along perfectly. Any advice?

Have you addressed this probelm with him? What was his response?
>>
>>18055443
My fiancee and I have been dating for almost 3 years now and I still can't keep my hands off of her. Seems like he must have a low libido or something as you suggested. I still find it strange that he couldn't notice when you are trying to seduce him. Sounds like he might have low energy/potential depression if all he wants to do is sleep or play video games.

>>18055443
I've been in your bf's shoes, femanon.
After dating my ex for a year or so, I started worrying about coming across too touchy or "rapey", if you will,
and started slowing down on the hinting for sex, since I figured it might make her think that I'm only interested in her for her body.

In retrospect it was a dumb thing to do, so it'll be a load off his and your chest (and a load on your chest if all goes well) if you just put your cards on the table.

Also, don't pressure him too much.
If you need sex to function and wondering if you can live without it, you may have some problems of your own.
Don't wear him out too much, is what I'm saying.

Talk about it, and I'm sure you'll have your answer.

Good luck.

I dunno why, but it's always so hard for me to be concentrated in class. I'm getting a programmer degree at the college in russia (a pretty shitty one), and i literally suck at almost everything. Never really understood math, but lately everything became just unbearable. I feel like the stupidest person in my group, i mean, i cant even write a fucking program in pascal because i just dont know how to construct the program right. Every time I try to actually listen to the teacher on lecture so I don't suck at the practice I just get distracted with my thoughts/groupmates/some fucking bird in the window, literally everything. Any advice how to be more concentrated? Right now I feel like this semester is going to be the end for me. I'd really love to take a gap year, but i can't, because if I take a step out of college I will end up in army, cuz Russia, you must go to army if you don't study or already got a degree in some shitty uni/college without army protection (don't know how to say it more correctly, sorry)
And yes, sorry for shitty english, as I said I suck at everything

What would you say to a guy (in his 20's) who's actually trying to get a girlfriend but keeps getting rejected (by all sorts of girls) ?

Should he hit the gym and gradually become physically fit ?

Or should he just stop talking to girls and focus on his own life ?

By your 20s you should have learned that physical appearance is not the dominant factor for women as it can be for men. By all means look your best, but give serious consideration of what it is in your personality that isn't drawing women to you.

Any tips to help me have some self control?
I'm literally addicted to fapping. I can't stop touching my dick, I literally fap 5+ times per day.
This has gone on for several years, but I didn't want to admit it.
I think my excessive fapping might be causing some of my low energy, low motivation, depression etc issues.

Any tips?

>>18053553
Stop masturbating to porn is a good start. I think you just have to stop masturbating so much, like, just start masturbating once a day. Eventually, make some hobbies and then the need to "wank it" won't be so predominant when you hace free time.

/adv/, I think you might be helpful here:

>Be hired for job
>Year later promoted to manager of two new people
>During salary negotiation, boss declines the amount you want, telling you "you make more than the others. If I pay you more, I'll have to raise theirs too."
>Believing this, decide to be content with raise. Learn that in spite of objectively doing more work and managing others, plus doing their work when they fail to, I'm the lowest paid employee
>Get paid less than people you manage, even though your boss and all other colleagues have frequently commended you for being the hardest worker there

No one except the boss knows salary. The people I manage think I'm making more than they are. But I'm not. And I was deceived. What would you do?

Note I work in a law office and so lawsuit comes to mind, but I don't know the first thing about employment law. Only criminal.

still you probably made some friends dealing with it while studying, didn't you? Still, you'll need a way of proving that, and given your employer is in the same field of experience he may know how to avoid it...
Is facing him openly an option?
>>
>>18057372
Out of curiosity, how did you come to learn this?

Personally I'd march in there and demand the salary you deserve, plus a little extra for the money you SHOULD have been making all this time. But if you do that you're going to need something in your arsenal if he blows you off, which he'll almost certainly try to do at first. Basically you have to be ready to threaten to quit, and that means you have to be willing to follow through if he calls your bluff. I don't know how practical it'd be for you to find a comparable new job, though I wouldn't be in a hurry to keep working for this guy if I were you.

I kind of doubt he broke any laws, I can't imagine there's a law against employers giving their employees bullshit excuses, but really I have no idea - I don't know the first thing about any kind of law.

What Kind of adult can I become if I can no longer rely on my parents to be role models?

This isn't a burning issue, just please assume my parents have continuously disappointed me since I was a child (I am 23 now) and I have been struggling with becoming my own person for a few years.

How do I have hope?

Think about the best version of yourself. Then strive to be that person.
>>
By assuming other people as role models, instead of your parents. What are your interests in life? Find a couple of famous people who did great in those fields and see if you can see something of yourself in some of them, and try to get that as much as possible out of you, in your everyday life, always considering your specific cirmcumstances which are only your own and have nothing to do with those people you chose as role models.
It is this interplay of your specific situation and the ideals and ways those famous people hold which you can see yourself in, that is ultimately going to shape you into who you are, eventually allowing you to contribute to your interest in a meaningful way .

I am gonna take the bait:

The thing is that you are even partially right, but there is one thing you are missing in your equation, and that is "having the knowledge".. Having a inteligent mind that can deduce things, and the emotional power to cope with things is not everything you need to solve problems in your life. You also need the knowledge usually gained from experience with life, which people can lack. Either by sheer bad luck, or that the circumstances and priorities in their life withold them of certain experiences to let them get the knowledge some of us share in certain life topics, so those people come here to ask for guidance since they either dont have somebody else to ask, or are too shy to do so. Its really understandable actually.
Asking for advice is in the end just the pursuit for knowledge in an urge to better ourselves and the life we have.

My gf asked me if i want to have a baby. She always been denying that she wants to be a mother(although she acts really motherly when kids are around), but all of the sudden, yesterday she asked me this question. How should i take it?, does she really wants to have a baby or is just another phase?.
Im not totally against being a father, i think is a step i have to do sooner or later, but im still not 100% sure, since she's not an easy person to deal with. But still i love her and so far the relationship had up and downs, but in general i enjoy a lot to be with her and since we've met she seems each day more in love with me.
Also one of the main problems is that i don't know her family yet, since they live abroad(And they dont speak my language or english, and i barely know their language because of my gf), and according to her, they're extremely traditionalist.
I'm a little bit affraid of pushing things too much and later on seeing myself dealing with an overwhelming amount of responsabilities

This will get worse when you have a baby and you "need to man up" to be whatever she thinks a good daddy should be.

Long story short I met a girl online on omegle 2 months ago who has the exact same interests/experiences as me and is applying to the same university too. We are both 18 btw.

It got so bad that we talking daily and often on school nights before exams. Last night I decided to be brunt and cut it off, she responded saying 'don't ever talk to me again. Now I wake up today seeing an apology message from her on gmail, how she's crying, etc. etc.

This is literally my first time in this type of situation... I really need to focus on my exams and I find that I am far too compelled to talk to her in times when I need to study.
