>in a few-year dryspell, to the point of considering a nearby "massage parlor" to get off

All the reviews online are either old that say it's great, or new that just say "it's good." They even have a billboard advertising it, which I don't know if that's good or bad.

Any advice for or not for doing this? What are my risks of getting an STD/police issues, considering it's in a good area?

it will be shit. don't bother.

Of course they don't have a billboard advertising because they're illegal in most places that they operate. Any signage is discreet.

>STDs
Nothing you can't fix with a pill, most likely
>police
It's a slim possibility
>it's in a good area
No it's not, the only reason those places are where they are at is because it's not a good area.

Go for it though.

Hello people, and thank you already to those that will take the time to read and answer. Let's state the obvious: I need advices, or maybe more accurately, ideas.

Here's my general situation:
I'm 26 years old. My family is scarred by many past problems and is poor. I don't have a father anymore. I still live with my mother but it may have to come to an end. I know noone that can give me some serious material support.

I graduated a full year ago in my philosophy studies at the Sorbonne (yes, I'm French), so now I have a master in philosophy (the diploma gained at the end of the 5th year, just before PhD). Theoretically, I should now try the contests to become a philosophy teacher. In France, they're called CAPES and Agrégation, and both are extremely difficult in this discipline due to the very low number of open jobs, to the point that the results are in fact more a matter of luck than a matter of skill or work.

Here's my BIG problem: not only am I pathologically afraid of work, I'm also pathologically afraid of this kind of contests. It wasn't THAT clear 16 months ago, when I finished my studies. I was afraid and uncertain, but I thought that I could try. Now, in the middle of my second wasted year in a row, I'm absolutely certain of one thing: I will not be able to get these contests.

Also, it is for sure that I will not survive if I have to work for years in a shitty hard job with full hours in a company. In fact, I'm pretty sure that I can't be happy as an employee in a classical structure, and that only suicide awaits me in this way.

I feel completely unadapted to this society. I know that I could do great things, but it looks like I will die before doing them, for stupid reasons.

Here's what I NEED to have:
- a way to gain just enough money to have (but not necessarily own, obviously) a home, have my privacy, eat, wash, use a computer. I don't need to be rich, just to be able to dream, think, create.
- as much free time as possible. Time is freedom, and I need freedom more than anything else. Working 8 hours a day all week long will mean my death, unless I have big vacation times like teachers usually do.
- stability. In other words, the rational hope that all these conditions will last until I'm old. This means that a profession where I would have to sell my work all the time without any guarantee that I will find clients is out of the question; I'm not and will never be a businessman, whether I will it or not. This also means that I need a sedentary life.

Here's what I NEED to avoid:
- physical jobs, as well as repetitive, boring, uninteresting jobs. If I need to work, and I probably do, my job needs to be at least a bit intellectually stimulating. I'm not saying that it has to be a dream job, but yea, I WILL very quickly be psychologically unable to live a life where I became a machine.
- contests with a lot of competition. They anguish me to the point of making me physically sick. I'm being serious.

That is all.

(cont.)
>>
Now, here are my skills:
- obviously, philosophy, and all that comes with it: I write very well, I'm logical, I explain complicated things easily, I know how to structure a scientific paper and reference it, I have a very good general knowledge (including history, art, science and religions)
- I'm good with students as well as with children, and I even have some experience and a small diploma to show that
- I have a very creative spirit and never cease inventing things
- I'm good with the internet and computers in general, even though I certainly can't code
- I'm fluent in both French and English
With a bit of luck, I may still have 2 years before me to develop a new skill.

Obviously, it looks like philosophy teacher would be an ideal job for me, except for the fact that it seems impossible to be one without passing hard contests or living in a very unstable situation (for private lessons).

Any other idea?

1) You're not entitled to an easy life.
2) You shouldn't have gotten a useless degree.
3) You need to work to survive.
4) Stop being a lazy shit.

Why don't girls like me?

I've had one attractive girlfriend before and she was in love with me, so I know it's possible.

But ever since we broke up... nothing. I'm not a beta faggot, I don't comply to the needs of women. I'm masculine, I'm rich, etc.

So then I look at all the beta faggots around me who can actually get women and I think wtf is going on? Girls will literally ask my friends if they're single. Why doesn't this happen to me?

It's fuckin' fucked! I just want validation. Have a girl show some interest.

Any detailed advice?
8 posts and 1 images submitted.

youtube surely has some good advice for that
but generally, try to push your hip, tighten your butt, and pull your belly. The idea is to have your lower back be as vertical as possible, this will give you the foundation for the rest of your posture.
Pull your shoulders back but keep them relaxed, pull your chin back, and your head up, as if it were hanging from the ceiling.
You chest should come out as well.
What I do is I stand against a wall, with my back and my head trying to touch it as much as possible. Also when walking on the street, whenever you remember about your posture, try and stand up straight and stay like that. This is the hardest part but the one that's most likely to benefit you.
>>
>>17916746
Stand like a super hero. Not even kidding. Feet shoulder length apart, but tucked under, shoulders squared, chin neutral, fists on hips. Do that for 2-3 minutes at a time, several times a day(after a bathroom-break is good).
>>
Once again lifting weights is the answer. Much like it is the answer to many questions in life.

I'm being serious. It will help with your posture.

If you go around thinking that every girl with dyed hair is an attention whore you need to go to a hospital and get treatment for your stage 4 autism.
>>
Interesting. I don't find that a red flag at all, because I think wanting to stand out is fine.

For me:
partners who get defensive or shut down the conversation if you tell them about something they do that upsets you
partners who give shit tests (which, for the record, is to create an artificial problem just to see your reaction to it)
partners who react with disproportionate anger at small things
partners who try to subtly punish you for spending time with other people (like, for example, canceling dates or "forgetting" to do something they said they'd do)

Also, these are equally awful in partners of either gender btw

Can any of you armchair psychiatrists tell me what this means?

I think I have a fetish for being hit on by really forward girls, who aren't really even attracted to me, but say sexually explicit things and act sexy around me to make fun of me. I think it's just because this seems to happen an unusual amount to me, and it's the closest thing to a sexual experience I've ever had. I remember one girl when I was 15 who would always make fun of me and talk about how awkward I am, but she'd hug me a lot and stuff. Right now there's three girls who sometimes text me and talk how sexy I am and how they want me to whip my dick out for them, and I know they're laughing their asses of on the other end, but I actually really like it.

That's fine, anon. Some anons might call you a cuck, but you seem like you can actually take a joke. I assume you're just confident and relaxed enough that you don't feel such teasing is going to change your relationship in any harmful way. I don't know what else to make of it other than you enjoy being teased as well as being around and open to verbal sexual explications, probably because it imprinted on you when you were a horny teenager. That's when you first start developing your personal taste.

At least you're not sad about it. I'm not how to turn women who aren't serious into women who are genuinely attracted to you. Probably be a bit more forward, and don't just wait around for them. Liking forward people is easy because they do the work, but you need to work to reel them in

What kind of things do they say?
>>
>>17916710
One time they told me that they've become strippers and they want me to be their pimp. Usually when they text me I say more normal things and they turn it into something sexual. Like I say "swell" and they say "did we make you swell?" Stuff like that. I say something like "You're all very nice" and they say "We think your dick is nice". "Thank you," I say. "Don't thank us with words, thank us with your cock."

That sort of thing.

How does one coexist with and enjoy society?

I'd like to visit places, but I always feel fucking awkward and like I'm gonna get yelled at at every step. How do I even solo explore my city?
I'd like to start jogging but I'm fucking paranoid, I don't want to be seen running, I don't want to interact with others, I don't want to be judged. It especially gets me when I think of finding a good running path, just thinking of walking around the streets makes me feel like I'm a suspicious person and someone's going to get aggressive with me.
I'd like to find new places to hang around, some bars to go inside and have a beer, but I just can't stop thinking that I'm gonna act awkward as fuck and somebody will point it out or be negative towards me.
I'd like to explore new hobbies, same thing. Let's say I want to join a martial arts or a fucking gym or just find some group to play basket or football. How the fuck do I do that? Just find the place and go inside? Just call the guys and talk? How?

To be frank, although I'm already in my twenties I still feel like I'm a child that's gonna be mocked or attacked for the smallest thing. I always had the mentality of a kid that knew his place and knew he's still a kid. I feel like I missed the phase where I get rebellious and think of how to become a grown man, and there's something in my head that doesn't allow me to do that and move on...

Basically you just have to quit being a little bitch. You have to realize just how ridiculous the level to which you're overthinking and worrying about things is. Get some self confidence and start doing shit, and quit worrying about what random people that are only in your life for a second or two think about you.

You sound paranoid.

However. No one is going to judge you if you go for a jog. Just don't be a sperg

OP, I want you to realize that everyone you walk past every day has got a ton of shit on their own plate to deal with. The person that you think is looking at you is probably thinking about what to have for dinner or whether to call a plumber to fix the leaky faucet in his kitchen or do it himself.

Sure someone might look you up and down and evaluate you based on your demeanor but it is a fleeting meaningless thought process that everyone does on a daily basis.

When I look at a passing jogger you know what comes to mind? I don't actually remember and I doubt anyone else does either.

It looks like you have social anxiety which is a loose term that applies to everyone to some degree. If your social anxiety starts to have an adverse effect on your life you should seek help (preferably not from booze or prescription drugs).

If you don't have friends to open up to, speak to a family member or anyone you can trust.

If you feel like you don't have anyone in your network to do this read a self help book or chose a piece of fiction to read that might inspire you.

GET THE FUCK OFF 4chan and social media for a couple of months and think about yourself , who you are, why you are the way you are and what you have to do to change.

I want to share a story with you guys and get some general opinions on a very confusing situation.

I've been dating my girlfriend for one and a half years. We have been living together for the past year. We met at a mutual friends party and when it came to introductions she said that she was 22YO. I was 25 at the time (26 now). She is very good looking and has a petite body type so I never questioned it.

Last week she pulled me aside and confessed that she was in fact 32 years old. She was very upset and apologetic. She claimed that when we met at the party she didnt think it was a big deal ( with the assumption that we would never meet again). She said that as we continued to date, and she fell in love with me she found herself trapped in the lie and found in incredibly difficult to confess.

We had a near perfect relationship up until this point. No memorable fights, no trust issues, enjoyed each others company, shared living costs, international travel etc etc. I must say I fell in love with her and didn't ever see a reason to split.

We are at the same point in life. Both of us want to marry and have kids in the next 4 years and children are on the agenda. I'm going back to college this year after being in the workforce for 8 years and we were planning to relocate together. I was in a highly paid job for many years previous so I am in a healthy financial position to support myself through college and beyond.

This revelation has thrown a spanner in the works. I feel numb. The age difference doesn't concern me as much as keeping such a serious lie from me for such a long time. At first i was shocked. The next day i felt fine with it. The day after I was furious. I going through the whole spectrum of emotions. I haven't gotten verbal with her or anything, I've consoled her from crying and shaking by playing cool and saying that I need a couple of days to process this but I still love her.

Have any anons been through any similar situations? Advice?

1.5 years

Man Op she lied to your fucking face for 1.5 years. You never knew anything was wrong, she played you. Maybe she didn't mean to but she still played you, and robbed you of your choice in continuing things with her. Idk if i could trust her after that. What else is she going to lie about? And this was only about her age which is a small thing. You can never trust her completely again.
>>
>>17916570
Wow, she must have the fountain of youth genetics if she's passable for 10 years younger than her age. While that is a big age difference to lie about, it is more common than you might think. Plenty of women in their 30s/40s feel the need to lie about their age when they're first dating.

This is because they believe that men are immediately less attracted to women in that age range - which is unfortunately true. It is not the age you should be concerned with, but with how long she kept the lie up for. For example: You must have celebrated her birthday in that 1.5 years, which means she lied about her age to you on her birthday.

She should have told you the truth sometime after you both told one another you loved each other - that would have been appropriate. You should tell her that. Don't be afraid to hurt her a little by saying this - because this is the truth, she should know that what she did is wrong, and you shouldn't let her use her crying to manipulate you. I don't believe this is something to end a relationship over however, especially one as serious as yours.
>>
>>17916590
I agree, 1.5 years seems absurd. And my trust has been shaken but I'm not entirely certain that i cant trust her again. I've dated many different personalities and ethnicity's over the years but I dont think I've ever loved someone as genuinely as I do her. I do feel played.

>>17916619
Thanks for the advice. Yes its the length of time I was lied to that's the crux of the problem. I've told her what she did was wrong and how much it hurt and embarrassed me. She is begging me for a second chance and says that it was the dumbest decision of her life.

I'm not the kind of person to make hasty choices so there's a lot to process. Thank you for your opinion. I feel better for at least having told someone. anon or not.

Been dating my gf for almost a year now. She's 21 and still lives with her parents, while I'm also 21 and live in my own apartment. Her parents don't let her stay the night or stay out past 10. It's kind of frustrating because my work schedule makes it hard for us to see each other longer than a few hours. I get that her parents are strict and she has to abide by their rules still, but at 21 and being independent myself, it's a pain to put up with. Is it worth staying in a relationship like this? It feels like I'm dealing with high school still and it makes me feel like I'm missing out in life. What should I do?

TLDR; gf still gets treated like a teenager by parents and I don't know what to do with our relationship

>renting at 21

Bruh why waste all that money while you can still live at home and save up for later
>>
>>17916532
Their house, their rules. As long as she is working and possibly going to school as well, then she is on the right track. I'm sure she has days where she feels overwhelmed - as an adult I'm sure she feels torn up by not being 'allowed' to do things as deemed by her parents. As her s/o, you should be supportive of her. Encourage her to save as much money as she can, remind her that she is a good person just trying to get by best in life like we all are.

You haven't given good enough reasons here for why you want her to be renting some overpriced apartment. If she was 'independent' the way you want her to be - she would probably be living with several other people, and they'd be depending on each other for rent; she might end up finding a place to live alone - which is just stupid; she would probably be struggling to make ends meet when she has living relatives who are willing to help her out - also stupid; etc. And on top of it all, she would be spending nights with you, or you at her place - fucking. What would she gain from that besides getting dicked?

Do you see yourself marrying her some day? Do you love her at the very least?
>>
>>17916591
I definitely understand everything you said, which is why I'm trying to deal with the situation. It's when it prevents us from being able to see each other is when it's frustrating. Today we were supposed to spend the day together, but she texted me saying "my mom is really mad at me. We can't hang out today, I'm sorry." I had planned for us to spend the whole day together downtown and at my place after not seeing each other in over a week. I do love her yes, but I'm also considering how happy I actually am in the relationship.

sigh~ I need some advice on how to handle these situations

There are so many guys around me that does this it's getting annoying. In the middle of conversations they would often try to say something funny to me. As soon as I sense that a sentence is meant to be a joke I basically have to give a genuine laugh, otherwise it becomes awkward or rude. If I ever reply with "that's not funny", I would immediate be considered a bitch, apparantly.

This is especially annoying during social situations where every other sentence launched at me is supposed to be a joke. I end up doing consecutive fake laughs just to please the jester's ego. And when I try a joke, instead of laughing they would nine times out of ten try to one-up me with a "funny" response. And then I'm supposed to laugh...
