I need help /adv/. I've got a serious obsession with Mercenary Tao from an anime called Dragon Ball. I cannot stop thinking about him, my drive documents are chalk filled with images of him, and over the years I made my wife cosplay in his Gi while we had sex.

Hell whenever I play DnD with my old high school buds I play Mercenary Tao. Usually my friend GM is annoyed with that, but he just simply is desensitized to it now.

My parents were concerned that I have this obsession of him, but I tell them it is not that serious, even in reality it is.
I really need some advice

I used to work out, but had to stop because of a minor surgery (I was told to not exercise for a bit before/after.) That was 2 years ago, and I never got back into it.

Now I lost a lot of weight, and people say I am really skinny, it is weird to me. Getting to a gym now is hard/expensive (no more college campus gyms.) I bought a pull up bar ladt week, and have been doing push ups and cat-litter squats almost daily for 2 months.

I've seen some gains from the push ups, but will the pull ups do enough to get me back to being a well-fit guy and not just a stick?
If I do my 'workouts' how I would back when I used to work out and was fit, when will I see the not being a stick benefits?

Inb4, I'm scared of asking /fit/. No one helps much, and tells you to read the sticky or just google it.

So I got offered this recruiting position with this incredible staffing company because the employer found my resume online, and the office manager said he'd give me the job if I got a high score on this assessment test. He said it's basically a personality test to be sure that I fit the position. He already emailed it to me and I didn't take it yet because I wanted to do some research on it first. I plan on taking it tomorrow and sending it back to him. Has anyone ever had to do this before? What should I expect? And how the hell do I pass? This opportunity would help me out so much. I really want this bad.

Pic sort of related. I just found a random picture, and that's not my name on the test. I haven't even taken it yet. I was just told what kind it was.

Please forgive the writing, on mobile

>23 year old virgin
>meet a girl on tinder
>go out a few times and then became 'friends'
>eventually she realises she has feelings for me and we start dating
>most wonderful time of my life
>fall heavy in love
>been through a few rough patches but still madly in love
>I believe that shes thenm one (marriage kids etc)

So that's the backstory, now my problem is that she's not a virgin (please bear with me on this). She told me at the start and it never bothered me then but now, 6 months later, a couple of times it's come up again. The weird thing is, that I'm fine with it at the moment(just uncomfortable), and then a couple of days its creeps into my mind, and I go crazy thinking about all the sex she's had before me blah blah.

I just want the thoughts to go away, and Ive told her how it makes me feel (we've decided not to talk about her exs from now on) but it still slips in, like when we're discussing virginity and shes like "its nothing special" and I'm suddenly reminded again that this girl just gave it away to randoms/assholes (1 night stands included) but she was hesitant in dating me for being a virgin. Btw she's told me that everyone before me treated her really badly.

I know she regets her past, and wished I was her first and I know that I was her first love, as well as first unprotected sex. And I know that even though I'm a virgin I've had some disgustingly werid porn habits (sort of similar, right?) So I can't really judge her on her past.

Is there anyway I can move on from this and stop these fucked up thoughts from happening?

So a good friend of mine came from a pretty shitty background, and has a lot of self esteem issues stemming from that. Over the years I've introduced them to some better people and they're doing a lot better nowadays.

The thing is though, when they drink they sometimes start talking about the abuse and shit they went through and start crying and talking about how much they appreciate what people are doing for her now. I'm aware of my shortcomings, and while I'm comfortable listening I'm not very good at dealing with these situations.

Basically, what do you do the day afterwards? Is it better to just act like nothing happened so they don't think it's a big deal? Try to talk to them about it a day or two after? I've had my issues, but I always approached it from a very different angle so it's hard for me to put myself in their shoes.

soup, /soc
So basically a drunk af girl was in my hallway and seemed to need help. I let her come in to my place and take a piss and offered her water. She wouldn't let me leave her side and made me carry her around, even when she pissed. She kept trying to kiss me, then she started crying and told me her parents were getting divorced and shit.
I feel like if I pushed it even a little I could have fucked her.
But she's drunk af and was obviously in a lot of emotional distress, probably from her bf.

Did I do the right thing not fucking her? I mean, that'd be taking advantage, right?

Or am I a loser for not getting pussy when it was right there, ready and willing (although drunk af).

After typing this out, I think I did the right thing although years of trolling /b has made me think a lot of people would call me a White Knight.

This girl was like 8/10

my ex suddenly added me on Battle.net. We've been broken up for a year but I think she's been trying to warm up to me on instagram. She broke up with me.

I'm kind of freaked out. What do I say? Why would she add me on such an obscure platform? Seems so weird. She didn't like, just get overwatch or anything it seems. What's going on? Is she gonna drop some big news on me like she's getting married or some shit? I'm kinda scared.

Right now I get home and have 3 hours to walk my dog, gym, fap, shower, and maybe thirty minutes of vidya. I end up using my half my weekends for errands.

Job will only last like five months. I feel like all I do is wakeup commute, work, commute and sleep.

So I've been dating this chick for almost two years now. She's ok I guess considering she is as much as a neet as I am. The one complaint that I have is that dates are sparse and sex is nonexistent at this point. We only see each other a couple (3-4) times a month and when we do it's usually because I coerced her to come out of hiding with food. When we do see each other's it's usually completely platonic. We don't talk much either.

Is this a normal relationship? I'm feeling as though maybe I'm people around my age (mid 20s) usually fuck or see their so every or every other week.

If you post and have an so describe your current situation so I can compare it to mine and see how it looks relative to other anons.

Questions are ok too. This post isn't that detailed. If an anon wants to armchair psych me.
