If she rejects a long distance relationship is it because you weren't good enough or is it personal to her

Long distance relationships never work out because girls crave the dick.
>>
neither. long distance relationships are shit and a waste of time. especially if there is no immediate plan to move close to each other.

4 years at college? why bother wasting etiher of your time, you wont be able to enjoy tim etogether.

in all honesty if the relationship was worth doing that for then its worth someone just moving to follow the other person.
>>
>>18649036
Many different factors play into why someone doesn't want to pursue that.
Its unlikely you weren't that good if you lasted til then.

Some people just can't go the distance. I absolutely love my gf. But she was speaking about doing a year abroad working and I know I couldn't last that long without her around.

Not because I need sex, but because I love seeing her. I get the urge to see her at least once a week or two weeks. I couldn't deal with that feeling and not seeing her for so long.

How can I find out my purpose in life? Are small, tangible short-term goals enough, or should I look for something long term?
21 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>>18649019

if you don't believe in any sort of religion then theres no reason to assume you have any purpose in life. Purpose (outside of religion) is something self assigned. its not really finding out what your purpose is, so much as deciding what it is and dedicating your self to that.

and in many cases there is nothing more to it then deciding to live your life as best as you can. there shouldn't need to be one simple thing that defines your entire life. There is for me, but im autistically obsessive with what I love. not everyone is. most people are normal and like all sorts of things, and its okay to partake in many sorts of thigns while living an ordinary life.
>>
Learn to love, my friend.
>>
You need to create your own purpose in life. Dedicate yourself to fighting disease or hunger or to your children or to a religion or to killing all the jews or to making the perfect burrito.

Its up to you.

How do I stop hating women or stop feeling any harmful anger or hate towards them?

Consider me a "redpill" "blackpill" type, I'm not a virgin I just don't think I can go back to feeling "normally" about them at this point, I'm not sure if many can relate and if you can how did you overcome this hatred as it were?

You're not going to like this, but get off the internet and live in the real world.
>>
>>18648709

Here's why this is horseshit: You don't want to stop feeling anything.

Some one is going to point out that not all women are the same, that men tend to have the exact same issues that you assign to women, and you're just going to argue with them and tell them why they're wrong. Which isn't what you do if you legitimately want to change your attitudes.

ohh how riveting, what's next a comment about my mother's basement?

At the age of 24 how difficult is it like to make social gains? I'm introverted and enjoy my personal life, now I just want to add some friends and women to it.

How difficult is this? What's the game like at 24? I havn't had but one friend for the last 4 years and have mostly stayed inside for personal development reasons and social anxiety.

Do any of you reformed zeta males have any advice for those trying to make it socially?

If you are happy why wanting to add women ? You wont fuck them anyways

Its better to stay foreveralone so you have more time to stay /fit


However if in the last years you didnt have friends what makes you think you can make friends suddenly ? That wont happen unless you reach some social status

Btw forgot about this and go do some push ups, you are not a zeta, but a beta
>>
>>18648607
I like martial arts more than I like /fit/. The only reason I strength train is for Muay Thai.

Because I have a dick. Litterally can't help it biologically.
>>
Okay, take all this with a grain of salt, because I have crippling social anxiety and haven't the courage to actually fix my issues, but hypothetically, I know how to do it. Like any other psychological fear, it's all about desensitization.

First, be comfortable just sitting around people. Alone.

Go into a very public place, maybe a restaurant, somewhere with a lot of people--couples, groups of friends, etc--and just sit there alone. Don't look at your phone once. I've tried this and it was nearly impossible.

After this it's all about killing your fear of rejection, so basically trial and error 1000000x with random women. Sounds terrifying, right? Well, it's the only way.

Hello /adv/ I ruined my life 2 years ago

I graduated high school and went on to uni to study a stem degree. I was one of the kids who everyone thought was going to go far in life.

At the start uni was fine however as the semester rolled on I just stopped doing assignments. Big reports I would delay to the last second, skip the class the next day so I could write the essays. Then I just gave up and didn't turn them in. Towards the end of the semester I didn't even go to any classes. Even the ones I was interested it. I would stay up all night just playing games and sleep during the day.

In the end I just failed every single class. I couldn't tell my family though because they were so proud of me.

I got academic probation and my next semester I just repeated the same thing. By the time summer was around I failed again and was thrown out. But it doesn't end here

Around this time my brother was buying a house in the same town the uni was in. So he decided it would be a good idea if I moved in with him.

I'm retarded so I moved in, but at this point no one in my family knows I flunked out. He went to his job so I could just stay home and pretend I'm attending classes. I know I'm piece of shit.

Fast forward to now (year after I moved in) my brother had some financial problems and I have to move out. My dad is still proud of me and wants to chip in because I need a new place to stay.

For the past 2 years I haven't done anything but sit my room wasting away my life. I can't let my family carry my burden. I just can't tell them the truth. It's too late for that.

I hate myself I just want to go to sleep and wake up 10 years ago. What's wrong with me.

Yesterday was my first day of classes so I just went to the library and sat around.

This morning I started hitting myself out anger. I'm worthless and I can't do anything about it.

My family thinks I'm a junior in college, but i'm nothing.

I don't know what to do.

>>18647781

You'll never be able to admit the sum of your lies, so you are just going to have to follow through. Find something you can do quickly, like a TEFL course or civic service, tell your family uni just isn't working out for you at the moment so you are going to do that for a bit to get your head straight, and get the fuck out of the country.
keep in touch but cut all dependencies.
Find a job somewhere, anywhere, and build from that.
>>
If you are still enrolled, you should have access to a counselor at your school's health center. What you're experiencing is not normal and you've already recognized it as a negative behavior that you want to change. It's not too late to fix things and get back on track, but I think this will require some professional help and a lot of support - so it may involve coming clean to your family at some point soon. This is so that you won't be inclined to continue hiding and enabling your behavior.

So I've heard that many graduating students have immense debt and it's going to take them years or even won't be able to pay their whole debt. Do you think is worth it working full time, then taking a class or two in your career choice and graduate in 10 years without any debt?

>>18647199
The people who have immense debts are the idiots who go to private universities without scholarships.

I don't know which state you live in but in Florida I can go to community college for the first 2 years for $0 out of pocket because of the pell grant, and then transfer to a highly ranked state university for the next 2 years of my major for $26,000. $10,000 of that would continue to be covered by the pell grant leaving $16,000 to deal with via scholarships and grants and as a last resort, loans.

The people with immense debt are idiots who do their entire 4 years at a university without any scholarships or grants. They're the kind of people who go to places like
https://daytonabeach.erau.edu/admissions/estimated-costs/
where they spend $200,000 for their degree.
>>
I believe loans should be a last resort. That said, you should consider the timeline of where you want to be in the future. Taking one or two classes a semester for 10 years will be ridiculously expensive in the long run, and although you won't be in debt by the time you graduate, it will still take you 10+ years to get a good job in the career you're working for.

If the career you want is lucrative enough, paying off your loans each month won't be a problem at all. And if it works out, you'll be in that career way sooner than 10+ years.

You're basically either paying for it now and reaping the benefits way later, or pay for it way later (plus interest) and reap the benefits sooner

I'm a student in europe. I live by myself and my parents are too poor to help out. So I also work as an working student where I earn 560 Euro per month, which is way too less to live (rent, food etc). So I also applied for an credit ( 600 Euro per month) which will make up to 30.000 Euro in 4 years to pay back. You are an ignorant asshole.

You can't worry about things that you can't change. It's a waste of time and only makes you feel bad.

How old are you? Are you sure your lack of success with girls is only due to your height?

Why do people subconciously/conciously assume just because someone is single, there is something wrong/unlovable about them?

I heard some women talking about this the other day when I was eating at a food court. They were going on about how if someone is alone/single it's because they want to be and somehow resent others, and that people who are always in relationships are the true loving types.

It was a weird conversation, but i'm curious what any of you think about this kind of thing..

Are there really any downsides to the U.S. Navy? I'm really thinking about joining up but I feel like I may not be thinking this through

upsides:
>Probably never going to see combat, and if I do the US navy is eons ahead of most of the world so casualties would be low.
>Free training in whatever I qualify for, pretty sure I can get a 90+ on the ASVAB but im scheduled to take it soon
>Living stipend + salary. save a little nest egg for when you leave.
>Military looks great on a resume.
>Would enter as an E-3 instead of E-1 and be able to be an NCO in a year, or apply to be an officer immediately with college degree im finishing

downsides:
>they get me for 4 years of active/reserves the 4 years of IRR.
>the frat culture is gonna suck because im not a mans man so it worries me I wont be able to make connections for promos.


I don't see traveling or being stuck on a ship as a downside. I love being on the water and I have no problem with tight spaces. Barely talk to my family and only have a few friends so the isolation won't be a problem. Am i missing anything?

Not a U.S. Marine or a U.S. citizen. I am not sure if you are looking for their specific advice.
I also never went to military service, but thought about joining up (and decided I was to lazy).

I do have a feeling that you have to know about PTSS, search numbers of provided health care to veterans and get some perspective on that issue.
Also accept that it possibly will be more difficult for you to form relationsships at 'home' with people you really and deeply thrust if you are comparing it to the level of thrust certain soldiers can feel.
Also know that the US Military organisation, that in the absolute end doesn't care about your private live or livelong wellbeing. You work there, but not everyones back is covered by everyone.

How far are you from finishing your degree? Degree in what?

Why do you want to join the Navy?
What jobs have you considered? (Forget the ASVAB for this q)
>>
>>18647055
>navy is eons ahead of other countries
You are extremely retarded. Missiles are cheaper than ships and a full salvo will destroy any ship you are on regardless of what side you are on.
>>18647055
>living stipend plus salary
You get basic pay and you get housing if you are married or 6 months after you make E5 which is usually after 4 years if you are smart and a hard worker. I make 5000 a month as a 6 year E-5 and picked up at the 3 year mark.
>4 years of active
If you get any rate with technical training then you will have to enlist for 6 years but you will get automatic E4.
>frat culture
Only if you get an engineer or air rate. Most technical jobs are filled with "nerdy" mtg players. Even the gangster black guys end up playing magic.

Other positives. Bachelors degree equals 4 points on the advancement test. If you still have school loans they have a loan repayment program if you get it in your contract when you first sign up. You can give your spouse your gi bill if you do 8 years.

You wont be able to jump to officer just because you have a degree. Lots of better qualified people will be applying with the same thing but they also have several years in the navy and are ranked Early Promotion sailors.

Any other questions feel free to ask.

Hi /adv/, I wouls like to ask. Let's say in a scenario that I saw someone with a light injury akin to a scraped knee and I don't have any medical equipment on person, is alcohol like beer suitable as an antiseptic? Just wanna be prepared
30 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
No. I believe the alcohol has to have an alcohol content of over 10 to properly disinfect. Beer is like 3-6%.

You're better off with unflavored Vodka or hand sanitizer.

You could have googled this question too.

>>18646756
I could have but I prefer having answers from other people with a degree of experience on the matter

>>18646750
No, beer won't do anything. You do want to apply any sort of oil, though. Cooking oil or hell, even rubbing bacon on it should leave a layer of fat over the wound, preventing infections.

Does anyone here pick locks? I need advice.

I was trying to pick the lock to my sister's room (I know it was bad). I tried with my mom's bobby pins and I spent probably 30 minutes wiggling and poking pretty hard until I read that you can actually break a lock like that.

Now my question is, a 5 pin walmart door knob that I didn't even come close to actually picking and turning, what are the odds that my heavy hand damaged the lock? Will she be able to tell when she gets home?

No pins could have fallen because I didn't manage to turn the knob. Specifically I'm wondering if I pressed the pins really far up could I have damaged the spings? I put a flashlight in and saw what looked like straight and fine pins and one of my similar door keys clicks and fits into the lock still at least.

With these conditions, what are my odds of having actually irreparably broken it. I'm scared of her finding out and I learned my lesson that I suck at this and don't want to take the risk of being found out.

>>18646315
What if my parents call a lock pick to get the door open and they can tell it's been tampered with?

How do you know it's broken?
>>
First of all, just make a bump key. Second of all, no. It's pretty unlikely you'd damage the lock with a bobby pin. If you were that concerned, just check the pin travel. The most likely thing you'd screw up is marring the pins up, and have them seize in the cylinder.

Be everything she needs. Marry her, anon. Marriage is the foundation of society.
