I'm in Los Angeles. Do your roaches fly? These ones do, apparently.
Femanon here. I'm 5'1, no boobs, my hair only looks good when short. What, other than makeup, can i do to look at least slightly attractive?
Butt?
>>17426750
>looks good when short
how so?
also, clothes, grooming and attitude.
>>17426750
>>17426754
Yeah what's your butt like?
Also are you skinny?
If you have a butt, show it off, if you're skinny play to men's inner pedophile.
Hi /adv/
I stopped playing vg since 6/7 months because I lost interest in them and now I associate it with cringy memories and shit, and now I think it's for manchildren to play them?
But at the same time I want to get on the Pokemon GO fad, but I can't.
I get too anxious.
I think everyone will be staring at me for being with a cellphone in hand with such stupid shit.
What the fuck do I do?
Yes the app launched on my country yesterday. And I live in what I think it is a third world country.
Any /adv/ would be helpful.
pokemon go is stupid.
randomly generated tokens on google maps
why? do you think it will make you a manchild? are you embarassed to like what you like? you are on your way to start putting up an act about someone you aren´t. that might go well for a while, but finally it will lead to disaster.
just stop trying to be more "mature and manly" than you are. also, i think it´s neat to go hunt pokemons with a guy.
it's not that fun anyway unless you play with friends or something
When I was a lot younger, I used to be overly afraid of pedofiles. I would talk to a lot of people online, and if they were over the age of like 17, I would be overly cautious. Was it because I was skinny/had higher standards?
Now i'm 18, and no one is a threat to me, or gives me that rush. I miss it. I miss being chased like that. I actually desire older men these days.
My current boyfriend is 8 years older than me but I cant help but feel like hes immature or not crazy about me. yet I had a friend the same age back then that didnt want to stop talking to me to the point where I legitamately tried to disappear and get rid of them.
That never happens anymore because whenever I disappear from someone its not genuinely because I wish it never happened and scared they might find where I live, its because I am seeking more attention from them.
I feel like my current mindset is not healthy.
> no one wants to groom me and have statutory rape with me
> All I have is a loving caring bf who likes me for me, and not for pedophilic reasons
> I just want to cheat on him with a child rapist, help?
>>17426714
>immature or not crazy about me
Nope
You're the one who's immature. You don't need to become an even bigger child again, you need to grow up, and become a woman.
You just live off of people's attention. If you don't want to grow up and give content to your life, the only way to get that attention is either from inexperienced young men, who is as innocent as you were, and they will give you all the attention you want because they don't know better, or really old men who don't have opportunities anymore, and who will also give you all the attention because they know they can't do better and don't have better chances.
>>17426730
how do i give content to my life and stop living off other peoples attention?
my gf basically went away for 2 months on vacation and threw away 3 years of us dating for a guy in another country.
i felt like she was truly faithful and would never do this to me. turns out i was wrong
is it possible to ever truly get over something like this and someone who you spent so much time with?
i can tell the whole story if you guys want
>>17426661
It's hard to buy that there were no signs or anything leading up to this, were you guys truly happy together or just going through the motions? Why was she away for 2 months without you?
You probably saw this coming in some way, people dont just up and leave their partner of 3 years or longer when things are great back home.
>>17426694
she said she didnt feel loved by me. we had talked about it alot and she said that she loved everything else about the relationship. we pretty much never fought before she left and as far as problems go that was the only one
before she left there were absolutely no signs. i guess she wasnt truly happy though.
she went to africa to volunteer for 2 months. she said it was something she always wanted to do. i couldnt go with her because i didnt have the money but after this i think i shouldve tried to scrape something together
>>17426705
No you shouldnt have tried to do anything in hindsight, if she left you for another guy it was bound to happen sooner or later, this is who she is and you need to accept that fact. If she didnt feel loved by you thats a flaw in your relationship that you didnt meet her needs, you're just not her ideal partner, you would definitely suit a different person much better with your personality, this is how you should think about it. Some girls are extremely insecure and require a lot of reassuring and praising to keep their self esteem high, if they dont receive it from their partner they tend to look elsewhere to friends/family and when that fails to other guys.
I'm sure this new thing she has will go nowhere fast when she realises that the grass is not always greener and this new rebound/fling of hers will likely fizzle out.
I have two best friends; a guy and a girl. They are both dating. I've known the guy for 4 years, and the girl for about 1. We are all very similar to each other in many ways, and that's why we're all so close. Her screensaver on her phone is a picture of him and I, that's how close we all are.
She's one of the hottest girls I've ever seen, and she is one of the only females I know that likes to talk about the same things I do. We always have fun together and we always help each other out. She truly listens when I speak, and I influence her a lot.
She's told me many times she loves me, and I know she means it. I love her too. But it's hard to love another girl and have it be a "friendship" type deal when there's no other girl in your life that you have an emotional connection with. The issue comes with other girls. I'm having a hard time finding a girl of my own now, because I always compare them her. I've exposed myself to so many women ever since I met her, because I let the relationship between them happen (she wanted me first but I sacrificed for my friend), and I don't want to ruin that, so I'm trying to get my own girl. However, it's just not working.
I can't be honest with them about this truth for obvious reasons. I just want someone like her, but not her, you know? How should I go about fixing this? I know many people probably think I should just cut her out of my life, but then I cut my other friend out too. I care about both of them, and without them, my life won't be the same.
>>17426624
start hanging out with other people more. stop wanting a girl "like her". every girl is different. you're still infatuated with her and the only way to get over it is see other people more (preferably girls but also guys ofc) and them less. you don't need to cut contact but prioritize others in your life more
>>17426624
you can never move on from the object of your obsession without removing yourself from them. You are the third wheel. At some point they will move on and leave you behind. You must also understand if she had really wanted you the two of you would be together but she chose him.
>>17426624
When she said she loved you, was it romantic love or loving friends and family love?
But to answer your question, hang out with other people, don't blank your friends, but you need to broaden your horizons.
My mom is really young and she has really bad cancer. She's going in for her first (invasive) procedure Friday and we don't know how bad but it's in multiple parts of her body, stage 4. Then there will be surgery soon to follow
It's like all of a sudden she's bedridden and it happened out of nowhere, she was out and about just last month working. but now she's too weak. I don't want advice on emotionally dealing with this or how to treat her:
But I was wondering if you guys have any advice for things I can buy or give to her. That would be funny or enjoyable. or good stores where I could get a gift that would make her nostalgic for example. I want to get her sweet stuff. or anything that could make her happy. It could even be a food gift.
Right now we're watching Arrested Development for the first time which she thinks is really funny.
My dad is being very stoic. I want to provide things like this for her right now. let me know if there's a different, better board for my thread though
it would have to be something personal. maybe try to get all family pics you can get a hold on and make a load of awesome scrapbooks. my mom had a few boxes of old pics in her attic and for her last bday i sneaked them out, organized them and made neat albums out of them. she cried when she saw them.
also, everything that you spend time with her. watch movies she used to love as a teen or kid with her. get one of those books like pic related and use the infos there to make her her fav meals, make her a playlist with her throwback music, and so on.
your most precious give is quality time and happy memories. smother her with that.
>>17426598
forgot pic. have a link instead. just an example, get something that you think is appropriate

also, try to find out what her favorite perfume was as a teen and get her a bottle. smells are a powerfull time machine.
I am a Chinese international student who arrived at the UK a while ago. I've noticed how people here are cliquey based on race and ethnicity. You have a group of Chinese people mingling together, a group of British people mingling together, etc. I really want to befriend some locals, but I feel like it will be strange to break away from social "norms" and try to befriend the Brits when you are not one of them. I've noticed a few Chinese people who mingle with the white British cliques, but I don't know if people will judge me if I do the same. I mean, I dont want to be the odd one out. Should I make an effort to befriend locals or just stick to the clique?
>>17426575
For someone who is worried about being judged, you sound you're judging a lot too
>>17426659
How come you think I am judging a lot?
>>17426575
Why not both? If you are worried look for a club or society to attend after classes. You can meet new people there.
I get the importance of saving face but you can be discreet.
Giving me puppy dog eyes. Standing close to me. Being nice to me. Flirting with me. Rubbing arms, legs etc. Think I look rich or something? maybe they want to feel empowered? I don't get this.
they love the feel of knowing that they just have to whisper in your ear and you´d fuck them in an instant. it´s a power thing. imagine you could just be a tad "nice" to girls and secure the possibility to fuck them whenever you want that way. you sure as hell would use that power all the time. they don´t think about following trough with it one second. just knowing they COULD is what they are after.
>>17426571
Are you sure they are flirting with you? Or that they're not attracted to you?
A lot of guys think I'm flirting with them, but when I meet someone new I am overly friendly and way to nice because I get shy.
I can't see why someone should flirt with you if they aren't attracted.
>>17426576
oh my sweet summer child. NOW BE HONEST YOU SLUT
So, for the two past years I've been in love with this girl, who's like, really nice and cute. Recently I got a hold of her kik and started texting with her, altough I've been afraid to say anything that could upset her, so I've refrained from texting things out of the ordinary. I really, really, really love her, but she don't know it and I'm not good around girls.... Any advice? Cheers.^^
>>17426522
>Any advice? Cheers
ask your mom for carrot cake for your 10th bday
Love is no fun unless it's mutual. Before you allow yourself to love her, makes sure she feels the same about you. Ask her out on a coffee date. A simple "Hey, want to grab a coffee with me sometime?" will do the trick. You'll most likely get an indirect answer if she isn't down. Something like "Sure! But I'm pretty busy these days".
The worst that can happen is she'll reject you. It's probably not going to be harsh. But if it were, she's not the kind of person you'd want to be dating anyway.
>>17426536
I should ask her. She actually works at a local coffee shop now when it's summer. Maybe I should go and ask her there? Would that work?
Hey /adv/.
Both boys and girls.
Have you ever become friends with an ex?
Like friends friends, no lingering feelings with anyone?
lost
yes, but its complicated.
>>17426518
complicated how?
I was talking to this girl and we met a few times and everything was going great until she stopped talking to me.
This was almost a month ago and I just didn't give a fuck and didn't think more about it until she send me a text yesterday saying that she was sorry and she was scared of how fast we were getting close and that she wanted to start again
So I thought I might as well give a try and asked her out but she seems to come out with excuses to why she can't
Why do women do this shit? If she isn't interested why does she contact me out of the blue almost a month later?
you are her attention automat
This shit happens, man. Just dont put up with it and find someone else
>>17426509
The thing is, I'm not even giving her attention. I never initiate conversations and we haven't talked much. I'm literally not giving a fuck. I asked hee if she wanted to have lunch, she came up with a lousy excuse and I just said fuck it, let me know when you want to meet
Besides, she is fucking hot, she can literally have the attention of any guy she wants, so why would she contact someone she hasn't talked to in a month for attention? It doesn't make any sense
Suicides always an option right?
How do you guys deal with just feeling nothing? I mean like, not feeling negatively or just bad all the time, but a genuine absence of feelings.
How do you deal lads?
Feeling like an empty shell is the worst. Try some shrooms if you can. Also, just start doing stuff op. Take steps in your life towards something. Work out, start a project on something you know nothing about, just find something that you can measure progress on.
Write a list of all the things that you don't like in your life, then write a list of all the ways you can change each one.
But most of all, break your routine.
Have you tried not being a psychopath?
>>17426560
This, so much.
When I was depressed I felt nothing for 2 years. I couldn't even manage to cry when my brother killed himself.
What helped me was getting therapy, and doing things - working out, dieting, working on school stuff, learning a new language, starting to learn new things, improving my skills in artistic shit.
Hey /adv/, I'll keep it simple:
>I want a woman
>Will meet her again this weekend
>same as always
>don't know what I want
>don't know what to initiate
I'm reading a shitload of books right now, but I can't help but feel like it's a bigger problem: what to do when she show interest in me ?
Usually I just flee but I have to stop doing this, last time one literally begged me to stay with her under her umbrella but I left her for a drink alone behind the scene.
So what do you usually initiate, guys ? Are you just focusing on spending good time or more on making her feel safe/entertained ?
Any advice welcome, be rude if necessary, thank you.
>>17426496
>I want a woman
>don´t know what i want
what now anon?
>>17426499
I should have been more precise: I want her but I don't know what I want from her (eg: I don't see myself in the future with this woman but I'd like it, and I'm not especially interested in sex).
My friends says it's a problem of confidence, that I don't feel like I'm good enough.
Why-is-this-board-so-slow kind of bump
Maybe it lacks a little bit of love.

Hey /adv/ why is high school so unfair? When people are bullied nothing happens but when they are retaliate they get punished. In high school I was bullied to oblivion, I spent my time in the bathroom because I wanted to isolate myself, I had no friends, my grades were going down drastically, I had extremely low confidence and self esteem, my mother was extremely sick and had constant panic attacks. My sister was diagnosed with depression. I was hanging in a group every since middle school and they did not consider me even as a friend, that is how low they thought of me. Eventually I went mad and got myself expelled, those people then laughed at me and were glad I was gone from the school. Thinking back it ruined my childhood and I'm just wondering why people don't see when a student is struggling there are many factors to it, it's not just that he is a bad student or that he is unmotivated. It usually dives deeper, factors that go outside of school. In high school it's hard to distance yourself from toxic malicious influences while in the real world there are more options. I also believe that laziness is a symptom of depression.
Your thoughts /adv/?
>>17426476
Best solution to bullying is working out.
>I'm just wondering why people don't see when a student is struggling there are many factors to it, it's not just that he is a bad student or that he is unmotivated. It usually dives deeper, factors that go outside of school.
Usually because they just don't care. Teens and children often lack empathy and only care about themselves and people inside their little bubble. teachers probably understood your situation but couldn't really see a solution or were unable to do the extra work involved to help you.
>>17426485
(Not OP but) Except that working out isn't quite the solution, because you will get expelled or at least severely punished for using physical violence. So bullies can emotionally abuse you as much as they want, ostracize you and sabotage your group projects, but you can't hit them unless you want to be fucked over. Heck I know that the university I'm getting into, is given free reign to haze to the point of pseudo-raping the girls and singing rape songs, and the school only just decided to say "uh we might take action" after /years/ of (scathing) mass media attention. And still a lot of the students see nothing wrong with that scum behavior. I hope they fix it, because if not, I'm very likely to hurt someone, and of course I will be punished instead of the pseudo-rapist, who presumably leaves no cuts and bruises on the girl, even as they forcibly dunk her in the water
Working out helped me feel better, but it's useless for inflicting physical harm in any school setting, because bullies themselves are now reduced to forms of bullying which do not leave visible physical injuries. Working out doesn't intimidate bullies either because they know you can't hit them, so it's more important that they continue bullying the already-bullied target; if they give up, it makes them look weak and people get ideas. But working out might help if you have not been targeted yet.
