How do I convince my girlfriend not to join a sorority because I know it'll ruin her? We've been dating a year, and she's strictly anti-"typical sorority" girl. More "bohemian" than anything else really. I know it'll completely fuck her up, but she's insisting that she's joining just because it'll look good on her resume. Keep in mind this is at a university in the southern United States.

It will look good on a resume and it will change her but doubt it will ruin her. There's all kinds

dont try to hold others back so they will stay in a relationship with you.

improve yourself instead.

if she just wants to be around other guys, maybe you should move on.

I have a little more than a week left.
Was just told about this all. My father is dead so I will be walking my sister down the aisle. That part I knew for the longest time. Now it turns out I am also going to be playing the part of the Best Man, which I had no fucking clue about until just now.

Either way, my sister just advised me, in case nobody had, that I should start working on one to have it for the wedding.

I don't even know where to begin. I barely know a thing about the two of them. And google has resume, cooker cutter shit filled with things that I would never say and sound completely fake.

Fuck. I don't even know.

How did you not know you were going to be best man until now? Best man involves a lot more shit than just saying a speech
>>
>>17494048
>>17494048
It was not discussed! And I hadn't done shit at all for the wedding previously.

It was literally, not figuratively,
>Uncle is going to walk me down the aisle. Been thinking about that for three years~
>You're walking me down the aisle
>"I'm what?"
>"You're walking me down the aisle now :)"

It's like she thinks we had that conversation before. But no, it never did. It was our uncle to me just randomly over some night like two months back.

Regardless, I was going to be a groomsmen though, because I wasn't previously walking her down the aisle.

Now sister tells me I'm the best fucking man and I need to prepare a fucking speech.


HOLY FUCK, I HAVE SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT IN IT NOW. MY SISTER HAS THE BAD HABIT OF VOLUNTEERING PEOPLE FOR SHIT AND NOT TELLING THE PEOPLE SHE VOLUNTOLD.

I know what I have to do to be successful. I have the resources secured, the time available and the ability to do it. I know that I just have to use will power and that this is where I grit my teeth and grow. But doing it is so cripplingly painful and lonely. How do I grow strong and self reliant?

I don't want to admit it but I sometimes seek for others approval and love. I want this part of me to die. I don't want to rely on others anymore. How do I deal with the pain that my subconscious mind and heart causes when I'm alone beating on my craft? It's so painful. And I know it's supposed to be. But some nights are too much. Fuck I'm weak

The answer is: there is no answer.
>>
>>17494033
I have felt just like that for a long time, but then I hit a void where I gave up trying and instead of feeling stressed because of my lack of willpower, determination and self reliance I just stopped caring, which turned me into an undefeated procrastinator at heart. I have to change, but I also lack the answer to this problem. If I were to take a guess, I would say that solution is to recognize our own abilities and limitations and try to not only do things for ourselves, but also to show respect for ourselves to face the objectives and challenges we have set. I believe the first step for us would be to

Good luck with whatever it is you want to do. Know that someone out there feels completely empathetic towards your current situation. Not that you need my empathy, but I have a friend I used to talk to about this sort of stuff, and even though he had a lot more willpower than me, knowing that someone else felt the exact same was good, especially since we both set extremely high standards for how we should live our lives, and how important it was for us to bring reality as close as possible to its ideal.

Have some nice jazz:

it's not normal. been together 8 years and we have disagreement but have rarely argued. We disagree, discuss like adults, come up with a compromise and move on.

Do you need to respect a woman's intelligence to love her?

My girlfriend tends to say stuff that really makes me roll my eyes, pleb stuff, but I'm not an asshole so I never let her know that.

Depends how much it really affects you. I would just keep doing what you're doing unless it is super serious to you.
>>
I had an idiot gf once.
It gets to you after a while.
If you're the type of person that needs an intelligent person to bounce ideas off, then a dumb gf is going to piss you off really hard.
>>
>>17494002
You absolutely have to respect a womans intelligence to love her. You can be realistic and practical about her mental abilities or personality, but that should never stop you from respecting who she is as an individual.

thinking of someone as smart is not the only way to respect their intelligence.

I don't really understand all of this. So maybe someone can help me figure this out.

I'm 25/m. I've only had sex once, and gotten one bj my entire life (I regret both of them), and I was 20 when that happened. So no activity the past 5 years, never had a girlfriend, never had any intimate physical contact. I think about girls... A LOT. They are always in the back of my mind, since I'm a male. But, the thing is I don't have any interest in random hook ups, or prostitutes. I also don't want a girlfriend (because I never want to get married). So I don't see a point for a girlfriend. But.. I sort of, just a little bit, wish I could share a intimate experience with a attractive woman that I've established a connection with. Which I guess that's not possible.
I just feel really confused and lost..

Friends with benefits. That's literally the only choice you have. Otherwise you can just donate your penis to someone who will atleast try to use it.
>>
>>17493987
Im confused, so you do want a girlfriend without the expectation of marriage?

There are plenty of girls out there who dont see marriage as necessary.

With that said are you willing to develop and grow a relationship?

Spending more time with them, investing in them more emotionally over time, living with them, having a pet or child with them.

>Spending more time with them, investing in them more emotionally over time, living with them, having a pet or child with them

no, I don't want that.. I absolutely don't ever want children.

>>17493997

That whole thing doesn't seem realistic..

Alright /adv/.

So I'm in class, and we all have computers and share desk and shit, and we all drink coffee, water, and eat around them. Unfortunately, someone moved my cup of coffee behind my laptop, I accidentally knocked it over and it spilled into the back of the other persons Macbook. A series of factors lead up to this. Apparently enough spilt for it to completely kill her Macbook. So 2 days pass, and she's asking me to pay entirely for the cost of what repair would have been which is $800.00 and apparently $250.00 in freelance work. I told her this is no problem, but we are both in positions of inability to procure high amounts of income seeing as we're in school. She tells me to ask my parents for money, I explain to her and tell her I don't have the resources to get her 1050.00 and she says she wants it by the end of the month. I then tell her it was an accident, and I have no problem paying it back, but it will not be for a few months out. She tells me I have to figure it out. At this point, I don't give a fuck about paying her back because she's not accepting the terms I'm proposing to her in the realistic manner and expects me to fork over 1050.00 somehow.

Should I pay her back the 1050? If yes, should it be on her terms or mine? If no, what can I do to tell her I'm not gonna pay her back? As far as I know, there isn't anything legal she can do against me. It's definitely gonna be awkward having her in my class for the next 5 months, sitting across from me. That will most likely change. What do /adv/?


Feel free to ask more questions or I can give clarification if necessary.

You are morally at fault here. Look at it from her perspective - if she doesn't have the money either, she is fucked in terms of being able to do school work.
>>
>>17493974
there is a old saying. you broke it, you fix it. give her the money then you wont have to hear about the matter again unless gets gets dragged to court because you dragged it out too long

>>17493977
She did end up getting a macbook to perform her school work on. I do want to pay her back, but realistically that will not occur for at least a few months out. Not only that, but she's not the only person I owe money too, if action was pursued she would certainly be last in line. If she can't understand what I'm capable of and what can occur, then it's only gonna add more stress for her. She needs to understand I will try, but it's definitely not gonna be 1100 by the end of the month.

I'm taking 75mg of Venlafaxine everyday for depression and social anxiety. Have been for about 3 years.

It's starting to fuck with me, mood swings, feels like I'm watchin TV a lot of the time, these last couple of nights I've been on the edge of killing myself. I just don't see the point a lot of these days, skip the bullshit.

Any reccomendations on meds or something else? Therapy doesn't help as much as I thought it would after 4 months of going every Monday. Hobbies are hollow. Drugs and liquor only work if I'm fucked up on them 24/7.

I just want to feel the happiness other people have.

None of us are doctors anon. Go talk to them.
>>
The goal of medicine is to heal you so that you don't need to take medicine and your body and mind can function well without it. If quality of life lessens at all, that medicine is garbage and you need to work to get off it immediately. Psychiatrist s who don't understand this and use medication as long-term/permanent treatments are garbage as well. OP, call yours immediately and tell them you want to live medication-free, if they do not work with you to find behavioural therapy and less invasive medicine as temporary solutions, find another psychiatrist or seek a therapist yourself.

For those who are savvy with investments, what do you think of index funds?

I make a decent amount of money and am pretty much just saving and contributing towards my 401k. I want to put money aside for investments, and it seems like index funds or at least mutual funds might be something for me. I don't really have an interest in turning investing into a hobby or anything and would rather just have something build up while I put money into it.

Should I start up an index fund with a more reputable firm or would something like my bank I go to be ok?

Index funds = good.
Mutual funds = mostly shit.
Both will fuck you if economy collapses. Neither try to time the market (index funds can't by definition, tracking the market and all that).

If your bank offers index funds, it might be fine, they probably just push shit mutual funds and bonds though. Do some research.
>>
>>17493878
Use Vanguard. Go to personal finance or financial indepedent on reddit for more details. And yes index funds are pretty much everyones best bet.

>>17493891
>>17493892
What are some safer options besides index funds that might be good still? Bonds, CDs?

I'm still leaning heavily towards index funds but is looking at bonds or CDs worth it all? I bought a decent amount of both when I was younger but that's about it.

I love aviation, and I love fixing things. That's why I chose it as a profession. But right now, I have $500 left in the bank, and I have $2000 of credit limit available on a credit card that I don't wanna use. The only things I can sell are my tools, and then I couldn't do my job.

I'm $115k in debt - mostly from student loans, but also from using credit accounts to buy the necessary tools and in some cases relocate myself from job to job, trying to find enough income to pay down my debts faster. I've gotten on federal REPAYE, so those loans are at least down to a very low minimum payment. I will call tomorrow about deferring a large chunk of other loan payments, as I haven't used any of the allotted deferment period yet.

I do budget, just to be clear. Every purchase is accounted for in YNAB.

My parents are unable to help - we've lived paycheck to paycheck all of my life. They've already devoted extra time and money to helping pack me up and move me away multiple times. I'm 300mi from home now, renting a room from a friend, and I have lost my job recently due to my own performance. Dumb mistakes cost me a great position.

I just got back from interviewing with one of the biggest airlines in the US, and it seems promising that they will offer me a job. But it's in San Francisco, where I can't even afford to take the job if they do make an offer.

I feel stupid, I know I'm in a stupid position, and I don't know what to do.

How can I fix my mistakes? What can I do, considering there are no other (viable) aviation jobs here in this college town?

Roughly $2,200/mo.

My debts are a minimum of $1,185/mo.

My fixed costs besides housing are about $800.

you really fucked up wow. how is someone so stupid? like why did you invest 115k into nothing at all? you didnt need to go to college to learn how to be a mechanic.

anyway, you have a computer so sell it. sell everything you own. everything. if you get that job find the most piss poor place you can stay at and consider a homeless shelter. if you live miles from the job then take the bus, walk or bike even if it takes hours to get there. cut out all unneed excess food; count calories so that you eat exactly 2000 or whatever number every day and only that. also theres nothing really wrong with making the minimum payments. if you could pay it back all at once then you wouldnt have borrowed in the first place

good luck retard

They're old pictures. He probably doesn't even remember that they're there.

He probably never even thinks about them.

On the one hand its a little immature for you to get all bent out of shape about old pictures. On the other hand, if you've asked him to delete them and he says no then he's being a little stubborn because deleting them is a meaningless gesture that will mean a lot to you.

If you haven't brought up the pictures with him at all that makes you an idiot and you have no right to be upset about some shit you haven't even talked to him about.
