don't trust girls

you aren't exactly a successful lad try yet

why not you work hard, get a good degree and a good job and let them come to you?

afaik the situation now seems highly suspect

>>17823758
This is true, I'm trying to work hard but I want to escape from loneliness and I'm 22 and I feel that the window to do so is closing as I get older.

Thanks for your input though I'll try to stay on guard.

>that she had no boyfriend and they broke up

So then she friend zoned him?
That bitch is SAVAGE

Watch your back if you decide to pursue OP

Workouts are incremental

You go as far as you can each time and it gets easier over time

When it comes to losing weight the most important part is diet and if you're drinking soda that can really set you back
Saying you need the fizz burn in your throat is about the most hilarious fatty excuse I've ever heard but why not diet soda. It's still not healthy but you won't have all those calories

Go read the sticky at /fit/

>>17823716
You probably crave sugar because of its addictive properties, more than the 'burn'. I find soda water mixed with some fresh lime juice provides the same refreshing qualities of a soft drink without the sugar.

Losing weight isn't easy, but it is simple. Exercise more, consume less calories while maintaining intake of important nutrients, find a way to structure your daily life so that you can achieve those.

The first part of your post is more suited to /r9k/, and yes it may be somewhat true but it is also an oversimplification.

Congratulations on realizing that people are shallow. Try not to wallow too much in your bitterness about it. It really depends on who you're talking to. And it has its limits. If a 10/10 guy says he likes 10 year olds, he's still a pariah. If a pro football cheerleader gives a kid a BJ, she's doing him one hell of a favor. Shit's nuanced, y'know?

Basically the two answers you don't want to hear from us.

Eat better, exercise more regularly.

Aside from other lifestyle improvements, like better sleep, more sunlight, positive exchanges with people- it's gonna be those two. But that's not to say that the mental health benefits of these things won't help you stay positive, that makes a difference.

Wash your face regularly and keep your hair short.
If your brave, shave your head and rock that for a week.
You might like that better than the receding hairline, and so might the ladies!
Or the guys, if your coo coo for cocoa puffs.

>If your brave, shave your head and rock that for a week.
Would that fix the hairline?

>interesting person
interesting people can carry on a conversation
become more knowledgeable and well rounded by reading non fiction , but a hobby would help too.

>>17823653
I took up boxing at my house, im a gamer and anime watcher also. Most of my time is spent sitting on my ass, jerking off, or playing video games. It sucks man just think of something to make you happy and do it. Mine is punching a workout bag.

if you insist on doing it at time, i vote for some instrument.

but skateboarding is a lot of fun, u should do that :^)

Throw his bitch ass out of the bed and tell him to gtfo. What kind of pussy are you.

>>17823612
He either pays or he's out. Just cause he is family doesn't mean he can take advantage of you.

>>17823639
He really does took a big fucking advantage of me. The weird part is that he doesn't even acknowledge and aware of it.

Are you retarded?

Did you create the original artwork?
>Yes
Sell it
>No
Youre stealing

Only option you have to sell stolen shit is to go to another country

What you have there is something known in copyright law as a derivative work.

You should briefly check the laws concerning derivative work in your country. For example, in the U.S., derivative work is defined as
>a work based upon one or more preexisting works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted. A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a “derivative work”.
which would include your work because of how it changed what would have simply been an image of Patrick Bateman's face from American Psycho. U.S. law concerning derivative works grant you the right to reproduce and sell the work.

Now, that's not to say you wouldn't get sued. They can always sue you. However, should you attempt to defend yourself in court, you shouldn't have any problem establishing the image as a derivative work that you hold the right to sell as such.

That picture does not fall under fair use. You can get in trouble legally if you sell this design.

holy shit i was in your exact same position, except
>started talking to this girl
>hit it off great
>hangout first time and just decide to go to my place
>mess around, hookup, play with her boobs etc
>fuck her the next day
also note im in school, which environment is up to you to figure out.
>lost virginity, caught feelings for her bad, and i think the only reason is because, she shown interest in me from the day i met her and her behavior showed that she liked me
I was honestly in love with that feeling of knowing someone wanted me that bad
>3 weeks later hang out every day, says she has feelings yada yada
>dumps me out of the blue for her ex, of 1.5 years
>less than a week goes by and she dumps him for me
>we hangout one day, the next day she says she needs time for herself
>the day after that she hangs out with her ex and puts shit on social media and tries to act as she did nothing wrong
>some more shit happened and now i completely cut her off, shes back with her ex, and i havent talked to her in 10 days,

honestly am surprised that she hasnt contacted me since when i ignore her she blew up my phone, called 35 times and wall of text.

anyway yea get out of there, shes using you, and trust me if you go down that road, your in for a WORLD of HURT, i've never been so hurt by a girl than by her..... she broke me man.

>>17823590
holy shit, dude, that's basically what's happening to me, with the bf of 2 years and stuff. it's without the sexual stuff though. it's just that she seemed nice since day one and the guy is a complete cunt. they've had a couple of fights since i met her and she just kept talking about how she hated him but couldn't break up with him because of their long relationship. but now they've broken up and he keeps posting shit about her on social media and stuff and it seems like he's moving on.

>>17823601
Well your definetly in a better position than I was my friend.

She is literally crazy, she goes to therapy 3 times a week and is on meds, I think she has borderline personality disorder, she has self harmed, tried killing herself, talked about killing herself recently, was going to give me a letter and told me to read it later the next day but i quickly figured it out, talked to her a bit and then she said for the first time, "I love you dominick", she said it for the first time too, and then she said it again after that.... and you know what happened? 2 days later she wouldnt even talk to me and blocked me on everything

she broke me man. just thinking about this now makes me sad, i've thought about desperate attempts to try and contact her but i dont think theres a point, i just need to move on completely. In my heart of hearts, knowing how she is i believe she'll try to talk to me again, because i know she really does have true feelings for me, thats not a lie, shes just a troubled person and her emotions make her do crazy shit.

I wish it could be how it was though man i havent stopped thinking about her yet, every morning i wakeup my mind darts to her..

I wonder this as well.

>>17823565
Its weried isn't I've notice this more lately when i been jacking off. Also i finish on about 20 sec masturbating. But when it come to sex some times its hard for me to cum.
OP

I never noticed.

no help even on /adv/?

>>17823539
How are you deciding what "looks creepy" or is "too late"? Everyone looks awkward to themselves when they start asking the question "do I look awkward?" Try not to force yourself to be someone else, it'll make you anxious and less approachable.

I would definitely advise you to stop practicing and pay more attention to other things.

I would say be your weird self and find friends that think it's cool

Just tell them you have assburgers straight up

>>17823487
Perhaps he just didn't notice? My ex had gained weight over a period of time and I didn't notice until she pointed it out. Then I realized it. I mean, otherwise he does just really love you and doesn't care.

>>17823487
That is not something to complain about. That's great. It means you've found someone who genuinely loves you.

OP, I'm that kind of guy who likes his partner no matter what. And I don't know how it fucking works, but what I can told you, is that worked 2 years straight with my last GF, and still works.

If you partner are saying so, and you know s/he's no lying, just focus on other things, weight won't fuck anything unless you gain or lose ~20kg, and even then s/he will be attracted by you.

You should understand that you and your parents' definition of failure is totally relative. Obviously you've got parents that have arbitrary standards based on their class and what they think is a 'successful' career path. That sucks, and yes it's common for middle class families, but there are also lots of families that don't care what their children do and just want them to be happy. So you would be wise to take it with a pinch of salt and just be aware that you being in this world doesn't come with any obligations to follow their standards.

With that in mind, I'd put your mother's comments to one side and maybe look into those other jobs that you are actually interested in. Almost every career path imaginable has the potential to bring in enough money for you to be really comfortable, and beyond that level it's just a pissing match so who cares.

As for how I "chose," I basically did a degree that I enjoyed thoroughly but it didn't set me up for a particular career path (Music Technology).
Then I spent a year doing retail work to keep myself occupied and trying to figure stuff out. One of my hobbies is programming, so I ended up getting a job as a software developer because it was something I could actually get. My degree had almost nothing to do with it.
I don't hate it, not sure if I'll dedicate my whole life to it, but it's paying the bills for now.

>>17823515
Problem is that they pay for everything. Unless I get a job quick, they would have to pay for my "non-nursing" classes and most likely would bother me about that.

They at most have told me to go for nursing, make tons of money, THEN go for what I actually want.

I have no idea how to tell them I don't want to be a "super rich" nurse at all.

>>17823577
Seriously been an RN is a calling not something you can do for the money, yeah sure it appears that you can make hella cash from nursing but in reality it dosen't pay all to well and the job can be stressful most people use nursing to go other routes in medical field or even to another career field, however but forcing your self going to school for something that you don't want to do often dosen't end all that well and its a waste of time.

If you want to peruse your own career then your gonna have to man up and get a job and apply for financial aid to pay for that school.

What is the point of life if you could get laid?

>>17823391
lol i never thought this way but i lost my virginity like what, 1.5 months ago? nothings changed at all. im relatively young tho sooo yea... im 18 + 1 if you get what i mean wink wink

>>17823414
Easy. The fact that if he could get laid without having to pay someone, means he's probably a well-adjusted human being who is able to form normal relationships with people.

Not being laid means a lot more than no sex.

Some people realize it's pointless. You can give people all the advice in the world but it's their choice to take it. It's like giving a class a test and not telling them the answers were on the back wall the entire time.

>>17823412
That's true, but I only ever ask once and on different sites. It's not like I am on their crying like a bitch every other day.

>>17823385
Im sorry for you buddy

Connect with your friends, take up hobbies that make you happy, talk to people who support you and if you're still not sure, try asking them about what they think are good qualities in you. Once you figure that out, try to embrace those parts of you and look for more things to admire about yourself. It won't go into arrogance, if you're worried about being seen as such. This is your time to see yourself and embrace yourself because you deserve it.

>>17823411
I don't have any friends, she was my only one

>>17823419
