I've done everything I can think of. I've taken up exercising more, I've gone to as many events as I can, I've tried online dating, I've made a ton of new friends. I tried online dating (terrible), I've messaged girls to ask them out when I have liked them. Haven't gotten more than a couple of first dates and I haven't got a girlfriend and I've been looking this seriously for just more than a year. I'm very confused and it's making my anxiety worse.

I'm 27, never had a girlfriend before, cute face, slightly chubby.

What can I do? I think I'm getting more depressed. Does anyone know this feeling?

People can smell desperation ,you know? And it's a turn off.

You are so desperate for a gf that your whole identity revolves around it. You go to the gym but only for girls. You dress nice but only for girls. All of this is very nice but the real end goal was to give yourself confidence, which will in turn attract women. You don't do it only for the women.

So what the fuck are you without a girl? A girl wants to know that her man is a strong man who isn't clinging onto her.

Find out what you really like and establish your own identity.
>>
>>17833293
I have an identity. And I probably don't come off desperate to most girls because I don't act desperate.

Maybe my problem is more that I can't show I girl how much I want her because I'm always acting aloof.

But all I can think is... Acting more lovestruck maybe?

I would have thought I'd warrant a second date, even acting cool as I do.
>>
>>17833335
You don't act desperate but people can sense that you are desperate inside.

You are already doing a lot better than most people. You've actually gone on dates.

Ask people out in person and don't act more lovestruck. Act more interested, if you are interested. But don't stare at them or call them 'baby'. Just try and hang out with them more

also

>acting cool as i do

They can tell that you're insincere and faking it. Why would you want a gf who likes a fake version of you? Find someone who likes you, and not when you're 'acting cool'

What does /adv/ think about social work?

I'm currently considering a degree in social work due to one of my friends pointing out how good of a listener I am and how easy it is to talk to me. I've talked to a few other friends about it and so far they've all agreed I would be good for the job, one even saying I should have been in the field long before I asked her about it. They said I can remain logical in things while still taking into account everyone's feelings and seeing all sides to the issue.

Those kind words aside, I know there is more to social work. I have a lot of empathy I feel, and I only really feel my best and motivated when I can somehow help out someone else. My middle school dream was to become a psychologist.

However I'm also shy and an introvert, so it takes a bit for me to connect with someone so I'm having a lot of doubt. I know opening to friends is a lot different than chatting it up with a random stranger.

Can someone like me do well in this field? Or are my friends just talking me up?

2, you said you're an invtrovert. get a clue. and you want to work with people 40/hrs a week ?

3. get computer training make $$ w/out lots of people interaction, then either donate $$ to social causes or.....

4. VOLUNTEER SOMEWHERE

5. go actually talk to people working in this field for several years & explain yourself & goals etc

Today we found out that we have a spy watching us in our apartment.

We moved into an apartment 3 months ago. We live in a large city, where no one knows their neighbours. This being said, the woman who lives beside us would often call out to us and ask us questions about our apartment.

An example: We live on the ground floor, and people have thrown so much junk on our patio that ants had started to gather. So we put down some baby powder. This woman called out to us one day, acting light hearted, and said "haha what is that powder? Why is it there?" We explained, and thought nothing of it.

I am legally disabled (mentally, not registered however as I've not had a need to.) and have a small cat as an emotional support animal that we declared on our reference. Today we received a call that the landlord's DAUGHTER lives next door and she reported us! That's when I put it together that this woman is feeding back information about our apartment to her mother, our landlord, constantly. When she returns to the complex, she always stares into our rooms. I caught her doing this once, and she quickly pulled her gaze away.

No one at any time told us this woman was the landlord's daughter. Don't you think she would mention that when she had talked to us before? We're literally being spied on. Is this legal?

Forgot to explain;

We declared the cat on our reference but *apparently* the landlord didn't personally see the reference, so it counts as a "contract breaking animal"
>>
>>17833246
Have you spoken to the landlord? Did you complain about the people, I'm assuming other tenants, tossing garbage onto the patio? If they knew about the cat, why does it matter?
>>
Gossiping isn't illegal.

>We're literally being spied on
No you're not. You're telling someone something, who's sharing that information with someone else, who's sharing that information with someone else. That's not spying.

My landlord sold my apartment building. I don't mind. They were assholes, but they gave me no notice. Now I don't know whether my lease will continue until the end of next July or if I'll end up on the street in 30 days.

Luckily I'm gainfully employed, but what should I do?

find out from the new owners and old owner? also find out laws protecting renters.

Sue the landlord for not giving a notice if you can. It depends on where you live.

>>17833260
I found out from the old owners. The tenant landlord ordinance in Chicago and the lease agreement say nothing about the matter.

It's a terrible industry filled with human shitbags. I mean, most people in that industry will lie like they're Wells Fargo.

So there's this kid named Elliot Shuman at my School by the name of SSEC/South Shore Educational Collaborative in the careers program, He draws (albeit poorly) pictures of naked animals with all kinds of gross stuff like scat and genitals and he has videos on his DSi of him fucking his own dog and pictures of it too. He smells like something crawled up his ass and died and has acne like nobody I've ever seen. He walks around like he has a splinter in his ass and is trying to squeeze it out by force. He always puts his hair infront of his face and is a disgusting "Trans-Gender" that isn't actually Trans-Gender, he just fakes it for sympathy. Not to mention he talks like he's mentally handicapped and he might as well be since if you even mention anything that could be remotely thought of as "Anti-Elliot Behavior" (his own terminology) he freaks out, points his finger at whomever did so and swears at them in extremely stuttery, broken English that honestly makes me want to exterminate his existance. /discuss

Just kidding about the last part. She could be laughing out of nervousness, maybe she likes you.

Me and my ex have been arguing on/off like this for the past month now. I ignore her but half the time she contacts me, even meets up at times but we just argue. I was her first serious relationship, her first for everything and always done cute things for her, treated her good. But now it's like she only remembers any little bad about us, forgetting all the good and she's just turned into a huge bitch as if I cheated on her or something. Where did it all go wrong? I don't know, nothing bad actually happened between us, and there definitely isn't anyone else. What should I do? I still have feelings for her. And I think beneath it all she does too.

Well she started it. We live really close so when I was walking to the shop I seen her, and she's just acting immature like 'coughing' but saying cunt while she does it lol. And because she has low self esteem, she thought all I cared about was sex which just wasn't true at all.

>>17833157
Yeh thats not arguing, you really need to move on, trust from a girl, when a girl says that, she has moved on. So you need to too, you're only hurting yourself.

Hey crew,

Ever since I started listening to deeper music, I've drifted further and further from manmade religions and holidays.

I'm 32. Have a respectable job and my own flat. My ex in-laws sent me a Christmas card and I'm having a hard time not telling them...

How do I tell my ex in-laws to send me cards with more holiday-neutral language? It hurts knowing how invested they are in such a pointless holiday. I know they mean well, but I can't take it anymore.

Thanks in advance.

why does it matter? why do you need to impose your beliefs on other people like that? they can send you christmas cards, just as you can send them holiday-neutral cards. get over yourself

I need to start saving for retirement too. I just finished paying off my lands and have no idea where to start.

How do I get my bf to be more dominant and assertive in bed?

I've tried telling him to spank me, and he'll do it once or twice in the moment but I always have to ask for it, as with choking. And I've told him he can be rough with me but he still isn't.

I'm rather vanilla and inexperienced so I'm not expecting much but I have the longing to be...dominated, even a bit.

habe you had a honest talk about your wants and needs? and his? maybe he is awefully uncomfortable "hurting" you. after all, it's counter intuitive to spank and chocke the person you love...
it also goes against everything you've ever been taught. maybe he'a afraid to genuinely hurt you? there are many possible obstacles here that all are far from "he doesn't care about what i want". try to see his side to this too. and hope he is willing to do the same for you. but it seems so since he goes trough with it when asked to.
>>
It can also be not exciting for him...
I knew I would not like that. Feels weird, unfunny and unnecessary.
>>
>>17833015
What you're saying makes sense. He is more of a gentle, passive person, but I suppose I'm just wondering if this is something that can be changed or if he'll never be into it.

I'm hesitant to bring up a formal talk because he'll probably feel obliged to give in, and I'd hate to make him act a way he doesn't want to. At the same time, small requests and heavy hints don't work. Do I give up? Is it embedded in his personality to be gentle and not dominant?

That is way out of control for a normal medication, you need to go to your doctors asap and schedule something with him for a dermatologist. Like call tomorrow because its gonna take a while to fix that.
>>
>>17832987
I'm a girl and I used to have acne this bad, it was even on my back and shoulders. Go see a dermatologist if you can, and they will hopefully prescribe some antibiotics- sometimes you have to cure it from the inside rather than the outside.
Often, over the counter face wash can do more harm than good, and if you wash your face regularly, you may be washing too much. Your acne already looks like it's starting to heal on its own, which is good. You may have heard some of this before, but make sure you're eating right, staying away from fatty food, and exercising regularly- drink plenty of water too.
Showering every day won't hurt, but in this cold weather, your skin may dry out and crack. Wash your face morning and night with an oil free, sensitive face wash that has no harsh medications (I think eucerin makes a good one for around $10) and make sure to use lotion regularly, light lotion made for your face after washing, and whatever you think you need for the rest of your body.
It will also help to change your pillowcase and bedding every two days
>>
Step 1:
>wash with lukewarm water, not soap
>fresh pillowcase every day
>haircut that prevents greasy hair touching forehead
>eat well
>sleep well
>no alcohol

If no or little improvement (likely)
>see doctor and use meds

If no or little improvement (unlikely)
>wait a few years until its all gone and then use laser treatment for scars

thats all folks
