Should you actively go out and search for a girlfriend, or should you just focus on perfecting yourself and wait for opportunities to come your way?

>Be me
>Broke up with gf of four years in May
>After that I opened a Tinder and OKC account.
>Go on too many dates to remember. Had 12 casual hookups, one FWB, and two short term gfs.

One thing that really bothered me was that NONE of these women were gf material. It seems like they all had a reason why they were on Tinder....Daddy issues, sluts (Not bad, the sluts were fun for hookups), damaged in some way.

Great girls but not girls I'd have kids with, you know? I concluded that I'll never find what I'm looking for if I go around chasing it, but instead I should just live my life and see if sparks fly with girls that enter my life randomly.

Do you guys have any advice? Guys who have really good relationships, or are even married, can you relate?

It's just really stressful to go the whole 'actively looking' route, since you see a girl and get disappointed every time if it's not one you really like. And then you wonder what's wrong with you/people, and go down that whole misery route.

Just tone it down, do it on the side for fun while you have fun with your friends. I did that and have met a lot more chill people that way--still not anyone I'd seriously date, but miles better than the crap I found on tinder.
>>
Well said, man. By actively searching, you're going to end up stressed out because you're not focusing on your own happiness and girls will disappoint you. Gotta find happiness in the single life and your lifestyle in general and let come what may.

My friend said that if she ever got pregnant by accident (i.e. birth control failed), she'd get an abortion, while my other friend is fervently anti abortion. I'm kind of on the fence, and they started trying to convince me but neither had good arguments.

What are some actual, logical reasons for or against?

There are no logical reasons either way. Only emotional/ethical reasoning either way.

>>17866511
Ethics in the Greek sense are generally at least found by reasoned argument though. That's why it was so hard to actually decide on anything.

>>17866504
Depends how you feel about having a living growing little person in your uterus. Some women, understandably feel freaked out or whatever. To the cold girls who can do abortion, i hope they dont change their mind once i cum inside them. Huge trust and respect there

I joined a cooking program to learn more about culinary. There is an Austrian instructor who is a very good teacher and helps us learn step by step. I respect her for that, but she say things I know in the back of my head I know are the dumb and ignorant. For one, a visitor came over to try the food we with us. She began to talk about how the US uses propaganda to get people to agree with declaring war on places like Syria for their resources. I agreed with her and was going to note how there are other countries that are more violent and no democracy but the US doesn't do much about it.
>"Yeah, plus if the US cared about spreading democracy, why don't they do anything for African countries like--" Before I could say the name of the country, my teacher interrupted me
>"Oh yeah, your country is such a violent place with dictatorship isn't it?"
>"no I meant Somalia where there's total anarchy there".
My background is Ghana, where there actually IS democracy.
Then there was a time where we talked about dating. She asked if I had a gf. I said I had one but we broke up. She brought up how Jamaican guys have side girls & players. I realized she was trying to generalize all them all as bad men. She also assumed my father was like that too, which I had to relpy "NO! MY dad is not like that at all "
On top all that, she keeps guessing my background country wrong. Its annoying me & dont know how to confront it. I've always been scared of confrontation & I never had called out a racist white person before. Or just people who piss me off for whatever reason. I just think and hold in my anger. Another thing is I've noticed about ignorant whites is that they can be overly sensitive like SJWs. I just don't want to hear her comments about blacks. How do I go by confronting her without tearing down bridges? There are many time I feel I'm worthless & I gotta do so much for people to like me, but Im tired of letting people disrespect me & letting it slide.

Have you tried telling her what country you are from? If you make her guess and dont correct her how is she supposed to know? Also shes not wrong about jamaican men. Most stereotypes have a basis in truth even if they are exaggerated

I got a new job, my everything hurts, I work 40 hours even though I'm listed as only a part-time employee, I fucking hate life right now, but I need the money because where else can I get it?

The other methods I get money from are either too risky or too slow to be beneficial. While this is my only path, I don't fucking like it and I'm so done, physically and soulfully. How everyone else does it is beyond me, because physically working 40 hours in a week, especially spanning into the late-night, is brutal. Especially when you barely have transportation.

Going to start college soon.

What would happen if I decide to start approaching any random girl on the college and start talking to them.

Will this give me confidence after a while?

Unless you're a really good talker, you'll become the creeper who chase every random girl in the campus

Male friendships instead, pick a few girls (five or so would do) and focus in talking to them. Don't have to build a life long friendship to any of them, just do small talk with each of them, and use what you learn with one on the other four

You're better practicing in dept talking than just approaching, which will leave you in the dark about the next steps

>I can't focus on a single hobby.

It feels like shit, almost anyone I know has a special hobby in which they are very knowledgable in.
>Anime
I havent even watched the mainstream ones, I only watch "some" when I have the time
>Gaming
The only game I got into was LoL anything else made me bored.
>Technology
Although I know almost know everything about computers and the latest tech, cant even afford them.

I don't know if I'd call anime a hobby. It's just passive media consumption, it's like saying Netflix is a hobby.

You get knowledgable/good at something because you have fun with it, not the other way around.
>>
>>17867916
Those all involve sitting indoors staring at a screen. Don't get me wrong, I do a lot of that too, but you need to find some activities that takes you outside and ideally involves talking to people.

Rock climbing?
Flying drones at the park? (You can get some very fun quadcopters for very little money now)
Archery?
Find a hackspace and learn some electronics? Indoors again, but you're learning something and talking to people.

Of course, activities like these are more practical if you have your own transport. If you don't drive yet, maybe focus on that?
>>
>>17867930
There can be a lot that goes into anime watching that can make it a hobby
Like checking up on the latest news, finding the best subtitles, best quality vids, talking about it on /a/.
Op probably doesn't do that but just because an activity is mostly passive doesn't mean you can make it into a hobby

I would consider people that collect old films to watch hobbyist

That's a pretty dumb idea, you're not supposed to concentrate on learning more than one language at a time.

Out of curiousity, why do do you want to take those tests? I don't know shot about the HSK but I know the JLPT is only really useful if you've passed level 1, mayyybe level 2

Quick question: My best friend/unrequited love decided he didn't want to be friends anymore.

It was shocking, devastating etc. I have most of the usual signs (less appetite, bit depressed etc) but besides that it hurts. And I don't mean the emotional pain, I mean physical pain. It's been 4 days and even though it's lessened it still physically hurts .

Is this normal?

Yes, it's normal. When you feel bad, you feel bad all over. And I'm talking from the perspective of a heterosexual male, so I'm sure it's even tougher for you.

The important thing is to not let a bad experience drive you to loneliness. Keep moving, keep meeting people and keep hanging out with your friends. Move on.

This may be idealizing quite a bit. But more to the point: You make friends by putting yourself out there. By talking, by inviting people to hang out, by doing shit.

Hey adv,

So I'm a personal trainer and one of my long term clients mentioned inadvertently that this girl I have been eyeing at the gym was her daughter. Not only does that already put her off limits, but I have been with my current GF for over 2 years now and the spark is dying but she would be devastated if I left her for another girl and possibly guilt me.

...What do?

So I'm having a bit of an issue with my stupid 22yr old female Kenyan cousin who has come to visit me for Christmas and will be staying until Jan 2017.

She wants to end Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and women's oppression in Africa. Seems great right....To bad the bitch is the most sexist and homophobic person I've ever seen.

She believes that 'gays' are wrong and choose to be gay. She also critisizes anyone who steps out of gender boundaries as 'wrong'.

But she will always say that males have more privilege than females. And when I discuss issues like parental custody in divorce or dating issues, cognitive dissonance bites her and she tries to say 'It's not that bad'?

Since punching her in the face and breaking her jaw would be assault, I would prefer to go down the civilized route and have logical arguments with her. What are some rebuttals to her stupid statements?

> What are some rebuttals to her stupid statements?

None....

Feminism is shit, but her issue is more with her belief system. As a 23yr old white guy living in Washington D.C whose had black friends from particularly East Africa (Kenya, Somalia), they have pretty rigid 'old fashioned' beliefs on gender identity and norms. Men reject femininity, are emotionally strong, work for their family, Women raise kids, be docile (not try to take a man's role) etc.

Just out of question OP, is it just her who believes this or your entire family.
>>
>>17867715
>She believes that 'gays' are wrong and choose to be gay
There is enough scientific data to shut her up. If she can't accept it, attempting any further arguments is pointless.

>She also critisizes anyone who steps out of gender boundaries as 'wrong'.
This will be more complicated given how gender roles are a complex subject, I guess the most simple way would be examples from history where things that was considered masculine/feminine was completely opposed to our understanding of it. Something like high heels being men wear for example.

Besides it's inconsistent with her other beliefs.

>she will always say that males have more privilege than females.
That's simply a fact. Work towards a middle ground and make her acknowledge that females have some advantages too like custody. (Which is related to gender roles, so gotta play on two sides)

>dating issues
Just don't fucking go this way. It's ridiculous.

>I would prefer to go down the civilized route and have logical arguments with her.
You can always try, if she proves to be too dense, there is always sarcasm.
>>
She's from a savage place where its is true. Just pity her and patronize her for being from such an uncivilized place on earth and move on. Not worth trying to teach her something when she'll be back to jungle in a month
