Bit of background, I've mostly had good, long term relationships and now I'm in my late 20s, I'm looking to settle down for good.

The problem is that even though I'm in a relationship, I fall for women easily. Really easily. Basically if I get talking to a woman who:

- Seems sweet.
- Motherly/loves kids.
- Is sympathetic, has had issues in her past with parents/being cheated on/psychological issues etc.
- Loves romance.
- Is white (I'm white).

Then I basically fall head over heels for her and end up dating her, even if I also have something going on with another girl at the same time.

Understand I don't do this out of malice. I love and adore women. I love them so much I can't stand the thought of a girl I grow attached to being unhappy, so I end up in these predicaments.

How do I stop myself doing this?

I'd prefer suggestions from femanons.

There's nothing you really can do, it's just how you're wired. If you truly want to settle down and be monogamous you have to put in the effort to stay faithful. If you can't handle this I suggest you wait until you're older and your hormones settle down.

You don't love women at all lol

Anyone here ever tried dating someone from a different cultural background? How do cultural differences affect your relationship? Was it mostly in a negative way?

>>17390437
I guess it depends on how and in what way they differ from you.

I have dated a south african (a boer actually). We shared the same values and the only cultural differences were actually quite amusing. Learning about their folklore and food.
There were a few differences in how we handle race, what with him growing up in a country divided by racial tensions and me growing up as someone who's never even seen a black person.

Right now I'm dating a romanian. I have not noticed any cultural differences, aside from a few holidays.

To be honest, I don't think I could date a cultural middle eastern. Even if he was super liberal, their customs, food, holidays etc. would still be too different for me to feel comfortable and feel comfortable raising a child in.

How do I not make a friend feel bad when I've succeeded where he's failed?

A bit of background: it's grad recruitment season where I live. A friend and I have been applying for jobs as they pop up. He's gotten rejection letters from all that he's applied for, whereas I'm getting shortlisted and interviews. It's not really in my hands, but I can't help but feel bad when he asks me if I have heard back from an organisation and I've gotten a yes when he's gotten a no.

Just be honest but don't rub it in.
Offer to help with his CV or applications, maybe he is doing something wrong that you can help with.

Well you can refer him to your place of work after you've built some rapport with HR if he doesn't find anything...

>>17390432
Be honest and don't brag, if they're a true friend they'll be happy for you. Times like these you actually find the true character of some people

I'm trying to grow up and get my life more together and I've made some steps like taking up reading and getting a gym membership but my procrastination and laziness gets the better of me.

I've tried keeping around a little notebook lining exactly what I need to do for the day but sometimes I'll forget it or just give up on it. If im tired after work I'll make an excuse to not go to the gym.

Can you guys help me begin to overcome this? I don't even play a lot of video games, I rarely do anything online because of my shitty internet.

Mainly what I do when I'm procrastinating is watching my favorite youtubers, eat snacks and browse 4chan. Also I stay up late downloading porn and I'm trying to stop that as well. It's been hard because I know I can't really stream anything without waiting an hour for it to load (literally 150kb/s speeds.. no other option for the forseeable future) so when I need to fap if I don't have some stuff on my HDD I'm out of luck. Also there's a LOT of Japanese porn on the internet, which is a problem lol.

Anyways. TLDR help me get a better system to check off what I need to get done for the day / week.

>>17390429
The notebook is good, but prioritize it. Each night make several lists for tomorrow:

Things that absolutely have to be done that day or the world will come to an end
Things you want to get into the rhythm of doing every day
Things that really should be done tomorrow, if you can
Things that have to be done sometime, and tomorrow is as good a time as any.

Tomorrow, do them in that order. Getting the essential and important things done will make you more efficient but also boost your spirits - there are few greater pleasures than crossing something off a To-do list as done.

And tomorrow night make a new list for the day after, putting new chores in their right place and moving leftovers up.

Hello /adv/ I am in a bit of a pickle. I started working last week.So my boss called me at 8pm asking If I could come in. I told her yeah but my insomia decided to kick me in the nuts and it is now 4:40am. Should I try to power through not sleeping or should I tell my boss I can't make it. It's a minimum wage job and the shift is from 10am to 5pm but I have to wake up at 8 to get ready. My insomia is preventing me from sleeping.

Don't bother trying to get any sleep. You've had this job for a week, and it's too early to start blowing shifts. If you have real insomnia, then you've dealt with this before. Just stay awake, then power through your work. Wait for your second wind to kick in.

What is the proper way to shower?
Am I supposed to use bar soap or "body wash?"
Am I supposed to use a washcloth or a loofah or something else?
How often am I supposed to wash the washing implement that I choose?
How long should a shower take?

>>17390386
Erm, I heard cold showers are better for you. As far as shower length goes, idk, 10 to 15 mins, just don't overdo it and be clean

Use good soap. I like Dove and Avene. Make sure you exfoliate your skin prob once every other day. I recommend buying a Clarisonic, it's a bit pricey though. You can also use a Konjac sponge or a wash cloth.

For shampoo, just check if it has Sulfate. It dries out my scalp, so I get Shampoos that don't have it

How do you currently shower? Is there any reason that needs to change? Is there anything undesirable you want to avoid, or something desirable you want to achieve?

Aint broke, don't fix it. And if it is broke, troubleshoot it before just going to town.
>>
>>17390438
Sometimes my back gets a super prickly itchy sensation. I think this might have to do with not showering well.
I figured this would be a good time to assess my whole technique.

Can we have a thread thanking people for the advice we got on /adv/?

Months ago, I had a crush on a girl my friend was into at the time. However, he backed out because he thought she wasn't into him. I thought at the time, that she was way into me. I felt guilt about not telling my friend and even considered asking her out and asked /adv/. I was told not to go for it and talk to him about it. We did and turns out he was fine with it.

A few days ago, we all hung out together and I realized she and I have zero chemistry. Thanks for the lifesaver guys that helped me. You guys are the real MVP.

Take note of the image.

I'm not really understanding lol desu.

This girl I'm talking to. Not my girl friend.
She wants to be celibate (religious reasons lol). Which I understand. We've both lost our virginities(not to each other) and had our sexual history. But I do like this girl a lot. So I'm okay with being loyal and being a loyal companion.

She text me shit like "I love you" and it's really sentimental and I appreciate it.

What are your thoughts and translation of this text message.

Also,

I'm 20 she's 19.

We both have pretty basic lives. Go to the same school and shit. Good family homes.

She's above average attractiveness desu, and there's a good amount of dudes thirsting over her. She communicates that.

She's always praising me and saying how much she loves me.

I just don't know how to approach her at this point
>>
From what I gather from those texts is that you missed some signals to make romantic advances and she isn't dealing with that shit. If she says she wants to be celibate and sends shit like that to you (plus already not being a virgin) she is definitely looking to bend that abstinence.
Next time you're together and the mood is right go in for the kill

"everytime i turn you down the longing will grow deeper

Is she blueballing you because she thinks it will make you want her more?

is it normal that when i fuck my gf every day or every other day that my sex drive drops more and more?

if we dont have sex for like a week i'm super into having sex again and am much easier aroused

if we have sex like for the 5th time in a week i'm barely aroused anymore, sometimes its hard to keep an erection and i kind of have to force myself to have sex

is it normal and (how) can i improve/increase/stabilize my sex drive? already stopped watching porn for a few weeks

No it's human psychology. You get less aroused because it's called sperm preservation. Your mind wants you to fuck another girl instead of digging your sperm out of the cunt you already visit. Biology is great. Have her wear a wig or something if you want 2 get a thrill. Pretend she is another girl. Sure to get it up
>>
>>17390301

This.

You don't have to feel bad about it. Humans are not really biologically designed to be monogamous. But it does not mean that you should cheat or something like that.

You just have to mix it up a bit sometimes. Talk about different fetishes. Do roleplay.

Or you can go all in and suggest an open relationship.
>>
>>17390330
oh hell no, i'm definitely not gonna cheat, I definitely feel mongamous and planning to stay that way even if it's not the human nature.

thanks for the tips. might look into roleplaying stuff

>Try my best to put together portfolio but ultimately crash and burn/drop out because I fucking suck and had never drawn before.(Dumb idea, I know) There were thousands of people better than me who were submitting portfolios who'd drawn their entire lives. I didn't stand a chance.

Now I'm in a situation. I've burned my Mature Student status, I have no HS degree and my GPA at college was absofuckinglutely abysmal because I crashed last semester and got shit grades.

What the fuck does one even do in this situation? Suck it up and work my shitty customer service job for the rest of my life? I fucking reject that idea 1000%

I spend about 2 years preparing for the right moment, I talk to a lot of girls to get the hang of talking to her, I spend countless hours preparing for the worse scenario of rejection, even date a girl for a little bit as friends to get the feel of being around a girl in public and the I see social media crying about a car accident. "Who is it this time" I say with a small smirk on my face before I read the word Ashton Hunter. My whole world falls apart and I go into a small state of depression before one of my friends notices how sad I was when even me myself didn't realize how crippling this is to me. I need some help getting over this, any one who has had any similar incidents and got over it please share.

Drink yourself into oblivion and make sure to abuse your friends and family. Also make sure to do drugs and act out. Also if you could kill someone to take the pain away that would be good too.

How do I stop the feelings of inadequacy and inferiority after being cheated on?
15 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>>17390220

When someone cheats its not about the person they're cheating on, its about them. The same reason people don't go out of their way to bully people because the person they're bullying is inferior but in reality they do it because they themselves feel inferior and can only obtain validation by belittling others.

At the risk of sounding cliche, its not you, its them. Unless you're a complete asshole, then its you.
>>
Meet new people who accept you for who you are, try dating again when you feel like you're ready, and tell yourself that you are worth it

it fucking sucks getting cheated on, I've been there

Best you can do is just cut contact with the cheater, and turn to friends and family for support when you feel like crap. It'll get better eventually, anon. I feel for you
>>
>>17390232

This. I really don't get why people give cheaters a second chance.

Learn to love yourself more than you love your cheating partner
