I took a job in a remote area of a country I don't speak the language of because I was desperate for money but now the loneliness is killing me. I am going insane without speaking to people in English. I've gone weeks without even talking to anyone.
What would you advise I do? I probably won't be monitoring the thread that often as I only have internet sporadically in my living quarters.
The job is a machine maintenance and janitorial position for a research center in Madagascar. I'm the only one at the center currently and I'll be alone here for another 4 months.

is there any thing in your contract that would hurt you if you quit early? thats pretty insane.
you can invest in a cell phone / unlimited data / portable internet and try talking to people online more.
>>
>>18674120
I don't know honestly.
I have a land line phone that I use to call tech support when things stop working right but I don't think I'm allowed to use the phone for many personal calls since it's so expensive to call anywhere out of the country.
Cell service is horrible here and the infrastructure is shit. I'm essentially right on the edge of the rainforest and many of the surrounding areas don't even have electricity. My internet and electricity go in and out as is. The internet is decently stable during the day however in the living quarters.

not sure what else you can do man. be on the internet and use that time to have vocal conversations. try discord where you can use your mic in random groups you find on 4chan and such.

It seems to me like my day-to-day horniness, my ability to be sexually aroused, might be much weaker than most other people. I'm 23, male, and don't have any health problems, though I did have diagnosed depression in high school. I get stories from friends, or read things from reddit or whatever, about how horny young men my age and teen boys are, and I don't know whether it's just exaggeration or whether I'm slow to arousal. Stories about getting random erections in class, or getting erect because the cute girl happened to walk by you and you smelled her perfume or whatever, are things that I don't remember ever happening to me. I've never had a wet dream and I don't think I've ever had blue balls. When I masturbate, it usually takes me 30 minutes or more to ejaculate, and often it takes more than an hour.
This seems to be a problem for me, because I usually don't reciprocate when girls flirt with me. In school I remember feeling grossed out when I could tell a girl was flirting with me, changing her tone of voice or giving me lots of compliments or whatever. And it was only much later that I would think, "Damn, why did I push her away when she liked me and I liked her?"
It might not at all be related, but it seems like my slowness to get aroused, physically and mentally, might be causing problems for how long it takes me to be interested in a girl. Is this at all strange? Does anyone else have this experience of not getting aroused all that much, especially during the middle school/high school age when boys were allegedly at their horniest?

There's two things I could see this being.
1) you could have what's called "responsive desire". "spontaneous desire" is what most people think of when they think of a sex drive, where it comes out of nowhere. Responsive desire is, instead, having the sex drive come out in response to something rather than being generated on its own.
2. You could be asexual. Asexual isn't really a total lack of horniness or sex ever. It's you not ever -wanting- to have sex with people and not being attracted to people in a sexual way. You don't see someone and go "I want to have sex with them". That impulse just doesn't happen.
>>
>>18674095
Well, "not wanting to have sex with people" isn't entirely accurate. You might want to have sex with someone for various reasons. But sex itself is more of a means to an end and not something you really want in and of itself.
>>
Random arousal isn't random. There is a lot fo exaggeration involved.
So what if it takes you half an hour or an hour to get yourself off? You pressed for time? You're not a minute man, that's gonna make any future SO a very happy girly.
The number of wet dreams I've had in my life I can count on one hand and I'm nearing middle age.
Pushing girls away just means you might be a pussy. That's a different problem entirely.
The thing you didn't say, however, is how often you do get aroused. So...how often?
There was a brief period in my life when I lost all sexual arousal, and that was when I was dieting and doing severely low calorie intake. My libido was just fucking gone. I went months at a stretch without an erection. I guess I literally had no energy for it. Almost the moment I stopped the diet and ate more my libido came roaring back.
What I'm trying to get at is that just because you might not be the walking talking erection that some dudes describe isn't a problem. Take all the shit with a grain of salt. Maybe you're just the type of guy that needs more than a woman to breathe in his general direction. When you aren't aroused, when you aren't getting it up at all, *that's* a problem.

I don't know if I want to keep breathing just to feel good. It seems to be the path most people take, but I don't see it as worth it.
I don't intend to ever bring more human-beings into the hellscape that modern man lives in, so I can't see a reason to get a girlfriend and latch onto her.
I thought I could live for the connection I feel toward other human beings, but industrial society has ruined that via the 8 hour work day.
I think I'm just going to do it.
My family will get over my death, and I won't have to work anymore. My dad can take my savings and fund his retirement with them.
I have no reason to keep sucking air anymore, and I have nothing binding me to this earth.

Feel connections with animals instead? Unconditional bilateral love. There are very few people I would choose to save over my dog. If someone came into my house and forced me to shoot my dog or a stranger he dragged in with him, I hope the stranger has his affairs sorted.
>>
>>18674083
A part of me can't see an animal as anything more than a mentally stunted human being, but I might be able to do it if I try.
My dog's don't depend on me though.
I'm not delusional enough to have a love that deep with an animal. I might as well get a 2D waifu at that point, but a dog is more tangible than that.
I always get erect when my dog cuddles me because I can feel her need for affection.
You may be on to something here.
>>
>>18674091
While the connection might never be as emotionally deep as potentially possible with a human, a dog will never betray you, never stab you in the back, never scheme, never lie, never take out their shitty mood on you, never disappoint, never make you feel like shit and never make you cry.
Like I said, other than family, my SO and a few select friends I would put anyone in the ground before I harm a hair on my dog.

Should I work for a year in my home country to save up the Cash for a working Holiday Visa in Canada?
(Note: I am 28 and have never been to Canada before, but as a kid visited the U.S.A. a couple of times.)
Also, if I did a working holiday visa in Canada, should I spend a considerable amount of time working/volunteering in country rural areas, doing such things as farm hand work?
Pic related, it's how I imagine rural Canada to be.... That, and fucking Saskatoon.

>texting thread
Which is better:
>So can I see you this weekend?
Kind of a "see me after class" vibe.
>So what are the chances I get to see you this weekend?
Maybe not great to imply that I'm leaving it to chance or something.
>So do you think I could see you again this weekend?
Short backstory: I was supposed to meet this girl after a thing we both had, but she took longer than I expected and then I saw her walking out with someone else so I left because I didn't want to get in the middle of anything, and she thought I left because I saw her leaving with another dude and that I was jealous and mad at her. I denied being mad and jealous, she thought I was lying and said I seemed like a coward, which is horse shit.
I texted her again like 2 days later, went full angry-suburban-dad mode, and straightened it out. She says she believes me now but she needs space. This was Monday. No contact since.

Moving out
I live with my aunt and uncle(long story involveing mental illness,drugs,prison,and a pocket knife. None of which involved me )
I am 20,and my goal ever since i was little was to move out before 21.
I am moving out next week
Getting a $1000 credit card
Have $3000 in my savings
Paycheck next week
Everything is going well... except one thing
My aunt and uncle have no clue i am moving out next week
The reason is
>I am gay and they HIGHLY suspect as much due to my aunt going through my computer when i forgot to log out one day
>They are very Christian (Pentecostal)
>I don't want to burn Bridges and my aunt makes that impossible
>I do 3d modeling (this involves pornographic content)
>Staying makes it hard to make money from said content
>They think i am moving out so i can live a life of sin(they are not wrong,but i like money)and got upset when i told them i wanted to move out some time in the near future
When/what should i tell them to keep them from not wanting me to come to Thanksgiving and Christmas

Have no idea what the fuck to do now and have zero idea what people do in clubs. Do people dance? Never danced in my fucking life and way too fucking awkward to even attempt.
Assuming it's a club normies and college kids flock to what the fuck do I even wear?
For the love of god help me and tell me what I should expect and what I should do to not fuck this up.

Going to Las Vegas for the first time this weekend with 3 other guys for my best friend's bachelor party. We will be there Thursday night through Tuesday afternoon, staying in the Flamingo. As of right now, we are planning on seeing a show Saturday night, and a show Monday night, as well as exploring the strip and Freemont, Ellis Island, and gambling at some casinos. We also plan on visiting a dispensary for edibles, now that recreational marijuana is legal for adults. I was trying to find any additional advice for cool stuff to do from perhaps locals or people that have been there. Our budget is relatively limited, so budget-friendly events would be great :) Thank you for any help!

Do you arrive tomorrow night?
Anyways, the Flamingo has some shitty rooms, and some renovated ones. I don't really have any tips for getting one of the nicer ones, but I'd think since you have a five night stay, you have a better chance of being upgraded to some better rooms. I work for Caesars Entertainment, and we're aware that the rooms need a full remodel... but that's going to be done long after you leave.
Totally outside of gambling, the Flamingo has a really legit pool area. Even if you don't want to hop in and get wet, they have an awesome central area with flamingos, a koi pond, and enough to go out and get a breath of fresh air while you carry your beer around for 15 minutes or so. It's one of the oldest continuing properties on the Strip (through renovations and different owners), but still historical.
I'm gonna keep posting a bunch of shit because I'm bored, so bear with me over a couple of posts.
cont.
>>
>>18673986
The Flamingo leaks out into the LINQ Promenade, where you have a lot of different options. If you want beer pong and drinking, O'Shea's is right there, and has a cool feel. Right next door is Off The Strip for breakfast/brunch, which I love as a local, but they also have Hash House a Go Go inside, which is good for crazy late night eats. While you're on the promenade, hit up the High Roller, which is the big ferris/observation wheel out there. You can get people on for a 30 minute happy hour, which is endless drinks as you go around the loop and get a great shot of the Strip (It's really gonna be 2-3 drinks max, but it's still cool).
Outside of your little area, Caesars Palace is right across the street...
cont.
>>
>>18674008
Caesars is cool but a little more upscale. If you want to roll in there and look at the cool shit, it's really nice. The Forum Shops have a free animatronic show over by the Abercrombie & Fitch there, but it's a little dated. Still, it's free, and happens every 30 minutes or whatever.
Since you're gonna be center Strip, check out the Bellagio fountains for a minute, walk around with some booze... try to buy shit from a 7-11 or something instead of the bar unless you're gambling. You can carry booze around on the Strip (but not in cabs or Ubers).
CityCenter/Cosmopolitan is gonna be a place worth walking into to see modern, high-end Vegas. Cosmo has some cool things, like their Chandelier bar, great architecture, and some of the hottest women you'll ever see if you just stand by the line to Marquee.
At Chandelier Bar, go to the 2nd floor (1.5) and they serve the Verbena, which is a dope drink that includes chewing on a special flower that makes the citrusy flavor stand out while your tongue tingles and goes numb. Then there's Secret Pizza on the 3rd floor, for legitimately delicious New York style pizza by the slice, with PBRs and all. It's hidden down a hallway with no signage, but they have pinball in there, and you can sit outside of the place and grub down.

I am in love with this girl. The problem? She lives 6 hours away from me, uncertain work days, lives at her parents house, and the only type of relationships she's had are long-distance ones....
I really like this girl but what do you guys think? I have no idea how to feel about the type of relationships she's had either since I haven't been in so many relationships myself.
Would it be wise to pursue this or am I in a world of pain if I do?

Best-case scenario: You meet once a month (if you're lucky) but have a great time together.
Worst-case scenario: You go crazy from barely meeting and she ends up fucking another guy out of loneliness.
Decide if getting your dick sucked only every couple of months is worth it to you.

That's not love, that's desperation.
Dad German, mother English.
Speak German with my dad, English with my mother.
Speak German with my two brothers and English with my sister.
Never really got along with my dad, never home so never really built up any sort of meaningful relationship. Very good relationship with my mother on the other hand.
Now here comes the joke, when I speak German I can't help but going into formal/serious mode (like I would with my father) and I find it very hard to be my relaxed cheery self unless I speak English. It is like I am two different people depending on what language I speak. I also find it much easier to talk to people in English, being flirty and playful is nearly impossible for me in German, but is like second nature to me in English. I asked my siblings about this and they have similar experiences.
Anyone else familiar with this? Any medical/social behaviour studies around that has looked at this?
If you have experienced this yourself, how did you deal with it? I can't really go around just randomly talking English to people here in Germany (which is exactly what I do at parties and the like right now, but outside that setting it would make me look like a fucking mental case)

I'm German and it's the same for me, too. I can only express feelings in English. Probably, because it's more expressive. Hell, I couldn't even say "Bye, have a nice day" in German before I started talking English daily.
I think German is a language of science and very exact at that.
>>
>>18674103
One of my friends was thinking out loud about this and was saying that it might have something to do with me growing up speaking English with females (who are more emotionally inclined) and German with males and primarily an emotionally closed, stiff and formal father at that. Then he started going of into all sort of ramblings and Freudian shit, but it still got me thinking.
Cool to hear I am not the only one anyway.
Hello fellow s/adv/irgins... I work in retail. I was helping out an attractive female customer two days ago and I got a vibe from her. She kept staring into my eyes and looking at my lips and asking all these questions(where do I live, am I single, etc)and laughing at my shitty humor. She mentioned she had a husband but when I asked her more she gave one word answers.
She was filling out a form and when she got to the section where she puts her number, she loudly said "so I guess you want my number huh?". I didn't say anything because I wasnt sure if she was giving me a hint or just making small talk or a joke.
Anyway I answered her and told her I was seeing someone but were not gonna be together much longer (because we arent, truly) and she looked visibly disappointed. after a few more minutes I was done processing her and told her to have a good day but she kind of stood there and asked "Is there anything else you need?" I said "no you're all done" and she stood there and said "I should come here more often".
Anyway i know this sounds like I am a high functioning autist but was she just being nice or was there something there? I kind of couldnt believe there was anything there because she is really hot. Then again I've helped out thousands of women and they dont ask where I'm from or if I'm single.
Should I wait till she comes back to my job? I have her number on the form she filled out but contacting her using info I got from a work form sounds creepy and shady and Im sure I could get fired for it.
She looks like pic related but her nose is less flat.
Thanks /adv/!

My boss tries to belittle me all the time. Whether it's finishing my bachelors degree, my talent (or lack thereof) in martial arts, success with women, attempts to make more money investing/entrepreneurship, etc.
He always has some shit to say. Whether it's just a callous "why do you even bother?", mocking praise/encouragement, or just a laugh and scoff of contempt when I enter the room.
I'm not sure if it's because he's simply a cunt or because I ignore his favorite (bitch) employee or what. Pisses me off.

If it started before the ignoring part, then he's just a cunt.

>>18673845
So quit or shut up.

Find another job, when he starts that shit explode on him in front of customers calling him a cunt who gets jealous over others' success and that's why he'll always be a miserable faggot who has to put others down to make himself feel better about his hair loss and marital issues. Also point out you know about his affair with that coworker bitch and that his wife will appreciate the email you sent her earlier. Then tell him you quit effective immediately and that you'll be back to get your check/tips/whatever whenever the next pay cycle is.
You'll never be hired by that company again, but you'll be a local legend told by generations of employees to come. I did something similar and now one of the new guys I started training before my explosion is a manager there. Corporate won't hire me back on, but whatever I need is always on the house when he's working, and I always get a kick out of hearing a quiet "wait, that's the guy we've been talking about?" from behind the counter.
