Are there any good books or serious resources on how to climb the ladder at work?
I work in a cool company but I feel like there are some soft skills I don't have, which ends up like I'm getting fucked over by guys who are much less hardworking and intelligent than I am, who in turn get more recognition etc
So, are there any books geared specifically towards this process?

> Ask a girl I barely know for drinks, said yes

> Chatting, laughing, drinking, movies. The usual
> Offered for me to sleep over instead of walking home, slept on sofa

Never done anything casual and I got out a LT relationship eight months ago so not really clued up with dating. This girl was cool so would prefer to see how it goes instead of just a fling. Didn't really get any signs other than it was a good night and the invites to come over/stay (made it clear I was sleeping on couch). We spoke briefly afterwards, but she stopped responding but has liked stuff on fb.

Not sure if I should have made a move or if I just got friend-zoned though?

Seems to me like you're pretty clearly friend-zoned at this point. Sorry mate.

Switching the venue to her place might have been her way of making it less of a "date." And making you sleep on the couch is a pretty clear sign. Maybe if you had made a move she would have been receptive; tough to say.
>>
You should have made a move. Sorry for your missed opportunity.

OP here, what should I have actually done though?

Start by not being messy and irresponsible. You force yourself not to be awkward, that comes with time, but you can force yourself to clean yourself and your room and to at least try to deal with your responsibilities.

Clean you fucking cunt. If you pick up after yourself, wash your dishes after you use them for example what could have been a 20 minute chore took a few minutes of your day.

Or just be the smelly asshole roommate everyone shits on for good reason.

Hi everyone. I am 25, in a 2 month relationship with a girl who is 23.

Problem is she admitted that she is a virgin and that she will not have sex or be intimate in any way shape or form before marriage.

Also whenever the topic comes up she makes it clear that sex disgusts her and that she would never do anything like that.

I am super confused by this because she is very affectionate and likes kissing etc. Am I a scumbag for wanting to leave her because of this ? I feel like its more a friendship with kissing at this point, and I refuse to throw away my pride like that.

Any thoughts?

Stop worrying about being a scumbag or whatever. It doesn't matter.

I'd say there's something not quite alright with her if sex, an act that she's biologically programmed to crave and enjoy, disgusts her. I'd leave without a second thought, but that's also because I don't ever want to get married (and because 3dpd, ew) and it seems you're not quite all right with the situation either. If you don't enjoy a relationship leave it, it's as simple as that. Especially for early relationship, you haven't invested much in it at this point. Still, if you're willing to put up with the "no sex till marriage" thing then by all means, do so. Still, it seems like your values are quite different and I can see this relationship turning to shit anyways.

How do you find yourself a girlfriend who's alpha? Do alpha and alpha relationships work and have some of you been in any of them? If you were, how was it? Did it work?

By alpha do you mean one who takes charge or someone who's capable of handling themselves on their own?

If you have to ask this here, you aren't alpha enough to handle a woman like that.

How the fuck do I find a girlfriend here...we go out every weekend and i try to be as sociable as possible and I just cant seem to find anyone, I even went to the club twice so far and all that has happened is me shittly dancing drunk as fuck for hours and then girls end up using me for free drinks I feel doomed to be a Virgin my whole life now that I'm stuck here /adv/ :(

First off, you don't "need" a girlfriend and life isn't going to be awesome just because you have one. Secondly, you're hanging out with the wrong crowd entirely it sounds like. If you're dancing at awful clubs and buying girls drinks, chances are those girls are going for one night stands.

I found just found kitten in my land 20 minutes ago. He's covered in flies. He is blind since his eyes are completely covered with dry mucus. He can no longer walk or move at all. He's still breathing and tries to meow but no sound comes out. He is no longer capable of drinking or eating.

Someone please tell me how can I quickly put him out of his misery. I cant stand to know he is suffering for god knows how long. Dont tell me to take him to a vet. I live in a small village and I have no car license.

Pic isnt him obviously. He's in far worse condition!

Use gloves, shower, clean eyes, milk
>>
>>17557304

Use a dropper to get some water into its mouth - this could very well mean the difference between life and death. Good luck
>>
First, soak a cloth and put it in the kitten's mouth for it to suckle on, or sprinkle drops right into the mouth. if you have en eyedropper, you can use that to get liquid into his mouth.

Feel his body temperature. If he's overheated, you need to bring it down by wrapping the body in cool (not cold), wet towels.

For his eyes, kitten have minor eye infection all the time. Use a warm-damp washcloth to soften and wipe away the mucous. You should also try wiping the kitten's butt with a warm, wet washcloth to encourage it to pee/poo. Kittens can't do it on their own and their mother helps them do it by licking. You can replicate it with a towel.

What's your hobby?


Try doing something for yourself, either start working out and eating healthy, or you can find some friends, since I assume you lack them and socialize with others who have similar, but not totally the same interests as you.

>>17557296
get into something that helps you look at things more positively like certain areas of philosophy. making plans helps too as you have things to look forward too, I normally go out with my friends once or twice a week. what hobby do you have?

Hey /adv/, 21 year old here.

Is it wrong, if I enjoy depressive stuff like music (mostly black metal), films and shows? I'm not depressed myself, but I like watching stuff like that, it makes me happy.

Is that wrong? Do I need help? Thanks in advance.

Fenriz and Nocturno haven't made anything half decent compared to their older stuff, so he can go fuck himself.


I'm not even that edgy, tbqh. I'm not your "hurr durr only metal is music" faggot and I am really versatile when it comes to music, but I just enjoy depressive stuff from time to time. I don't know why it makes me happy, but it does. I never cut myself, nor do I post "deep" philosophical bullshit on social media.

Energy drinks (amp, monster) do work. The problem is that they make you jittery and interrupt "deep" thinking - if you need to do routine work, they will work. You will also be unable to sleep normally after.

According to the military, amphetamines work.

Listening to loud energetic music MAY work, as well as getting hyped about something, but that's not reproducible.

The problem with all these methods is that they are good for drone work, but not so much for something like cramming.

I've met a princess over Internet. We met already, no sex though, just chilling alone in nature. She's amazing, very asocial, silent, does not use any make up, doesn't care for her looks much and yet she's beautiful, loves nature, expects only serious relationship. We already agreed that she'll move to my place and we'll live together. She's also very demanding. She's not rich (unemployed now) and let me pay, carry heavy backpacks, wants me to do some risky stuff for us... I've finally wrote her like 10 emails about it, that I'm not sure if I'm even important to her.

She's knows what I wrote but will reply on evening today probably (from PC). I'm worried that I might have frightened and lost her. I'm wondering how can I fix that. I fear that "I'm sorry, you're everything to me" kinds of mails won't the job. Should I just sit back and wait for her reply?

So I was at a party on friday and realized the depth of my betaness... Literally everyone but me got to make out with at least one other person, including a freshman girl who had never been to a party before and was refusing to drink...

How do I become less beta? I'm just completely stuck and don't want to be like this anymore...

Have at least one drink, work on your self confidence, get fit and start lifting and stop being such a pussy.

I had plenty of drinks, I was social, I climb on a regular basis and have a decent body. I just don't know how to break out of the beta zone....

>>17557132
You're too scared. Just give her eye contact when you're dancing with a girl and go in for the kiss. If she isn't into it then just dance with her. Be sure other girls don't see you. You'll come off as desperate to get pussy.

How do I be Avant-garde?

I was at my girlfriends house and we were making out and i decided to go under her shirt and play with her boobs (that was the first time we've done that)

>Fast forward

We lay in her bed and im behind her with my arm over her chest (not grabbing her boobs) her grandma comes in and sees that but says nothing.

>Fast forward to me leaving

Say bye to grandma, she has no comment about eariler so i assume she doesnt care

>fast forward
>at home now

Get a call from gf saying her grandma saw me grabbing her boobs (grandma doesnt say which she saw) and is raising hell and calls her a slut

Im supposed to apoglize to her grandma today but i dont know when

What am i supposed to do and say to make her calm down and not worry to much?

How old are you? If you're not a fucking kid just tell her grandmother to go fuck herself and knock on the door next time.
>>
Wow man. If you're over the age of consent then just ignore her and tell her to take back what she said about your girlfriend. So fucking disrespectful.
>>
>>17557143
This. Even of you are younger, she has to take that disrespectfull comment back. Holy shit. What has the grandma even to say? She's so far detached from reality. What does your gf's mom say? That's what counts more. Not even much, depending on your ages but more than grandma's antiquated crap.
