Do people ever actually grow out of wanting to be looked after, or do you just learn to pretend you'd rather sit on the floor and cry than so any of that?

Like I know people get relationships and everything and sort of look after each other like that, but that's not an option to me and I don't think there are many alternatives.
>>
>>17806829
>that's not an option to me
It is, you're just forcing yourself out of that option through self-loathing.

Anyways: No. There's a reason maternal instincts are so appealing in a woman for a man, and why protective instincts are so appealing in a man for a woman.
Everybody wants somebody to have their back. You never truly grow out of it. Even when you're 80 years old and your spouse is 6 feet under, you're going to wish they were there in case you fall and break something or to help you with every day activities.

The lone wolf may look cool, but he dies cold and alone never having enjoyed the warmth of love.

I'm too stupid to get a job in a city big enough to have enough dating options to find someone even vaguely compatible.

And even then, why would he settle for me?

Hey all, first post here...

I've recently gone through a divorce, and now I'm looking at ways to deal with my mild depression/loneliness.

I've decided (my cute crush decided) that a relationship only a few months after my ex moved out is too quick for me.

I'm very driven and successful, materially, though I have little to no understanding of my own emotions...which makes this more complicated. My ex took a long time convincing me that I wasn't enough to satisfy her, so I'm also dealing with self-esteem issues that I haven't dealt with since junior high.

I want to know how you single folks look for romance in your day-to-day life.

i dont have an answer for your question but if you're dealing with self esteem issues, try working out. it seriously builds a lot of confidence.

You are probably significantly older than me, but I've learned from an early age that no matter who is in your life, the only person that matters most is you. Fuck anyone else. They are all fleeting temporary strings that flit away while you build up your own inner pillar.

Life is a construct of pillars, all supported by the one pillar that they extend from, which is your inner self. Think of it like a domino effect. When one topples over, the others follow through, and the stronger ones will support the added weight, until more pillars are constructed.

Having a great circle of friends is a great pillar to lean on when your self pillar is toppled, but I like to think that all of your connections are supported by your own pillar, and the best way to reinforce your pillar is by never allowing the other pillars to topple yours over.

Friends, family, lovers, money, careers, they are all fleeting and temporary. People die. Management changes. Politics and money change. The only constant that is left is you. As long as you breath and have blood pumping through your veins, you live. As long as you are alive, you are always here. You are the one true constant.

Take up yoga. You need to spend alone time with yourself. Do some major introspection. Gain mental strength and independence. The fact that you wrote that your ex was able to shatter your self esteem means that your self esteem was built upon shallow shit that doesn't matter.

So I need help guys. There is a club at my college that is based on a "church" called the unification church or some shit. Long story short they are a cult and they want me to read their book. I had already started reading before I learned that it was a cult church because even though I'm not religious I wanted to be kind to them. When I found out I said I would need to stop reading for awhile because of the controversy surrounding the church. Tomorrow I am scheduled to meet with one of the advisors of the club and I'm too much of a pussy to call them a cult up front anymore. Any attempt that I've had with one of the members to try to make them understand how I've feel has been unfruitful and I have no fucking clue what's going to happen tomorrow. Any advice?

TL;DR: How do I refuse a cults teachings but still be friends with people inside it.

wow you really slurped down that marxist cock, didn't you?

If you really thought they were bad you'd have no problems telling them you're not interested. You'd also have no problems cutting these apparently insane cultists from your life
>>
>>17806758
Just don't go.

Why does it matter? When they call you, tell them you don't want to be a part of it.

>But my friends

If they were your friends, it would be of no consequence not participating in the cult and continuing to be friends with them.

Likely they just want to recruit you and that's why they're acting like your friend.

Kind of like a fraternity

Lie: find ur passion
Truth: ur interest follows what you give time to

Fucking study. Fucking get the cs job. Fucking be happy. Librarians are being replaced by computers. Ur blind to the writing on the wall. Troll.

Me and my gf have been together for 5 years. We live together with my brother and his gf. She has 2 cats, and the deal when she moved in is that if they start to spray they have to go.

One started spraying. Weve been trying for at least 4 months to stop it but it wont quit. No matter what we do. Ive dumped so much time and money into it thats its sad. But now its at the point where the cat just has to go... im in a lease, i cant just move out. But she wants to just leave.

I feel like the cat is more important than me and it hurts. I planned to marry this girl and shes ready to run because she cant get rid of a cat that sprays.

If the tables were turned, id find the cat a new home, no questions asked. Shes more important than a pet imo.

What do i do? Am i wrong to feel this way?

So I walked into a casino with $50 one night with some friends and ended up leaving with $150. So far sticking to these rules I'm at $300 Profit. Should I keep going with this only using what I have made and if at any point I break even I don't go back, or should I just keep the 300 I made and forget about it? Before this I have never really gambled to be honest.

It really depends on what you are playing, and how much value you get from the entertainment. If you can't count cards with 100% accuracy then there is nothing you should be playing at a casino to make money. Over the long run you will always, and i mean always lose. Stop, take your money, you're up more than 99.9% of anyone who leaves there.


If on the other hand you enjoy gambling, like going to the movies, then id say take 20 from your winnings and play with that until you want to cash out again or you lose it, then stop, thats it, you paid for an hour or two of entertainment. Do not buy in again.


I repeat, unless you are rainman/savant with counting cards you will absolutely, without a doubt, no questions asked end up losing all the money you made and more than likely more. It comes down to simple probability.

There is no game in the casino which is even a little in your favor.

And by the fact you have to ask means you definitely can't count cards and will likely never ever ever win this much money at a casino for the rest of your life.
>>
No I'm not trying to count cards or anything like that haha. We basically decided to go do this instead of go to the bars one night and here I am. As far as enjoyment I do think it's fun, id honestly rather waste 20 bucks there then at some bar. Plus the fact that I have made 300 bucks so far and I'm only taking in part of that profit helps too.
>>
>>17806620
>id honestly rather waste 20 bucks there then at some bar.


Totally worth the 20 bucks then. Go for it mate. But stop there, no more. Dont continue to dip into funds, otherwise you'll find yourself with no profit or worse in debt.

Know that the chances are that you will absolutely lose that 20 bucks, and any else you might bet. So limit how much you lose and enjoy the time you have to play around with it.

Also even if you can count cards you can only take advantage of poker and blackjack, and even then not as much as you would think. If you're a fucking pro you can break even at craps. Every single other game is 100% guaranteed to be in the favor of casinos. From roulette to slots to etc....

Enjoy the entertainment but know casinos have been designed over many hundreds of years with one simple goal, to make you lose money.

How do you make something of yourself when you're a subpar human being in every imaginable way?

>>17806581
Are you sure that you're subpar and not just average?

Besides, the approach is pretty much identical; improve on the basics, add valuable skills, have fun. Only the amount of effort required is slightly larger.
>>
>>17806587
I am genuinely subpar at anything a normal person can do.

I can't even do what other stupid men can do and just get a wife who'll settle. Most women will settle for someone who's stupid or someone who's gay, but not both.

What should I do? I didn't think this would be a problem, but apparently being a horny pervert is fine but being lonely isn't? It's taken me a lot to get the courage up to consider going this route, now I don't know what to do.

I've seen things online about services for people like me, kinda like non-sexual prostitutes, but something about that seems even dodgier. I'm in the UK and there are none near me anyway. Advice?

Prostitutes don't want to do anything that implies emotional connectivity. They're selling sex!

Look and see if there are cuddle parties in your area. Or hell, go on a dating site and say you want a cuddle buddy, someone out there might be up for it.

This is the first time I've engaged this type of person in the wild. I'm Red, and I know this is a losing fight, and I'm not sure why I care. I posted the mildest response I could come up with. But this is a bunch of rich white girls from the suburbs who constantly post about being oppressed by the patriarchy. They're "feminists" talking about using 2 Chainz as their mantra. Green replied with "experiment" in quotes. This should be like shooting fish in a barrel. I don't care about burning bridges here. What's my reply?

Just say you are doing your own experiment with women and post results (you can probably lie because it doesn't really matter).

Then when they try to call you on it say "I think you don't actually respect that this is a thing, and it happens a lot"

Tell em to put on more weight and men will move out of the way 9/10 times.
They dont stop because they arent the ones who are going to fall over by walking into something bigger than ones self.
Or bring up how their experiment is completely anecdotal and worthless.
Or just any random insult.


Its a losing battle because regardless of what you do or say, your wrong and she is right.
Stop using Facebook alltogether is the best advice i can give.

Any tips on how to deal with anxiety on dates?

>>17806522
So I havent had a date in half a year untill yesterday. We immidiately hit it off and she kept on talking and talking and talking. Then we went out for drinks and after a while it just got to my stumach and I got kinda sick. I had this before but it was when I was very young. I'm almost 30 now so it's gay as fuck. Then I kinda said lets get out of here while my beer wasn't even finished and we went for a walk and the cold really got to me but luckely I managed to save myself and I think she didn't notice I wasn't feeling well.

it came a bit in shots of feeling happy/normal/joyfull and feeling nausiated.

What do? This is obviously gay as fucking fuck and it kinda ruined the night for me

Date more. You will get better at it and more comfortable, the more you do it.

Hey guys. post travel blues stories and advice?

I'm really struggling here and i need some perspective. 25yr male fyi.

I was horribly depressed, did my 2 and half year European travel adventure, found myself spritiual awakening blah blah i hope you understand . I returned to my hometown, Adelaide where i have been more or less for the past 9-12 months. i feel very isolated and my depression is coming back, i find myself bored and unmotivated to do anything. i'm not sure if its adelaide, the people here, or if its just suburban life that is killing me.

i find some old friends/family boring and pretty well all of them are leading the kinds of lifes that i don't want any part of. everyone i know expects me to act a certain way due to our past history, and I willingly participate in the charade sometimes too. i just got an invite for a pre christmas gathering of my extended family, and the thought of going makes me physically sick. my priorities are just vastly different.

on a plus side quite a few people are openly commenting how they wish they had my strength of mind to live my own life regardless of social and cultural norms. while its nice to be an inspiration of a kind, fuck its hard being dragged down by all this shit.

though i have met a girl here, we were together for 3 months, and to put simply, having her around was my main source of motivation. she is now studying in scotland (organised before we got together, she is sad she had to leave me). which will take 6 months, i'm 3 months in. this might be a cause for my shitty mood. But still, if a woman is the ONLY thing i really like about this place, you think i still just hate this place?

tl:dr post travel blues stories and advice?

Theres this guy, we used to be best friends.

When I met him 2 years ago, he was a catholic vegan, then he became an atheist communist and then a feminist anarchist. I have been conservative all along, I continue to be and I quickly realised that he is very unpredictable in his beliefs and constantly switches between morals.

He is also a rich staight white cis het man.

From his obsession with anarchist mentality and his love for social causes he quickly became a Social Justice Warrior and then proceeded to identify as non-binary, pansexual and what not, this tore our friendship apart, mostly when I told him I believed anything related to transgenders was merely a mental health issue.

He couldn't take it, as he had convinced himself he was now supposedly part of the lgbt community. He stopped talking to me and started turning people against me and ruined my birthday and reputation.

Though around 4 months later, the depths of his mental instability started showing and started gaining my friends back, although it doesn't stop him from acting like a lunatic as he keeps convincing people of how much of an asshole I am. He keeps fucking shit up in my social life. He also recently started identifying as a transwoman.

I want to kill him, I want to strangle and gut him for his lying manipulative ass. I think I'm venting more than asking for advice but hey, feel free to ask questions.

Should I/how should I kill him.
