Ok need help here. There is a girl i like but just to have sex with. I feel she wants me too.I see her at parties and stuff so i can easily approach her when i want. But there are 2 problems. First, she has a boyfriend. Secondly i will see her again after two months from now due to summer holidays. Im planing to get her after summer so im asking for help . How to make her cheat her boyfriend. GIve my as much advice as possible, you know how to talk to her , what to tell and stuff. Waiting guys...
Oh,and i am a university student not a fucking kid. So yeah ...
>>17302699
It's simple, take a bullet to the head. That's sure to make her fall in love with you!
>>17302699
Yea! This anon >>17302935 has great advice. Kill yourself! After that she is all yours.
ever since my boyfriend cheated on me, I can't bring myself to say I love you. even though I still do.
>>17302683
What would you like advice on? Is there anything else you want to give us to go on?
>>17302683
There's different kinds of love. Besides, you're not talking about love, you're talking about trust. If you still completely trust him you're incredibly naive, but I imagine you can't tell him you love him because you're not sure you can trust him anymore. Even if you still have feelings for him, they can't be the same as before you found out. They just can't.
Your relationship isn't the same anymore. Try to work out your issues or get out and find someone you can trust again.
>>17302683
>even though I still do.
No you don't, and you're lying to yourself.
He killed your trust and without trust a relationship is dead.
Here's the deal, I'm very awkward in social situations, and nervous during interactions.
The biggest problem is most jobs require someone with "good communication skills", so how do I get gud?
Are there any books or video lessons for this kind of a thing?
I'm turbo autist
learning how to sing helped me. autistic people and people 'jump' between pitches when they talk but the 'correct' way of speaking involves smooth changes and movements
>>17302677
OP should go to college and meet other awkward people, and will slowly grow out of said awkwardness. OP will also have the opportunity to attend real communications classes that will develop strong skills, far greater than that required of communicating "Welcome to McDonald's, may I take your order?" on a daily basis.
>>17302693
I finished college tho, I spent 20 year of my life being afaird of people and having shy broken speech, it never went away on it's own.
Is there maybe such a thing as communication classes for adults?
How do I become an absolute animal of a male?
I'm talking the highest testosterone ever. Biggest muscles of all time. Fucking gigantic dick. Crushes his enemy's skulls into the pavement.
How do I achieve this? Seriously, I keep having this recurring thought that if I don't become the biggest alpha fucking male of all time then I have failed, I am a disgusting beta pathetic sack of shit.
Well, you're right of course. Might makes right and we haven't evolved past knowing who's the mst alpha. However, the game has changed past just physical aspects.
To be the alpha male, you need to have an aggressive and controlled life as well. It all stems from self dicipline. Start with book called "no excuses!" On dicipline.
Then get to /fit/ for phisique and train hard for a year and then hop on gear.
Visit /biz/ to find a way of getting cash for the right clothes, car, house to fit your aggressive lifestyle
Let me break it to you, you can't unless you have the genes for it. Musculature, skeleton, your own bodfy's testosterone production. You cannot change these.
>>17302715
I mean, I'm not just talking about bodybuilding. I'm talking about just being a beast of a male. Gets everything he wants. Takes no fucking prisoners.
>controlled life as well
What about criminal bosses? They aren't controlled. They're untamed. That's part of how they derive their power, they're so unpredictable, they inflict fear into the hearts of their enemies.

Does drinking still "ruin your life" if you never wanted/planned to do any of the things being drunk is supposed to ruin for you?
>>17302657
No not really, you just have to make sure you are with good friends who will not fuck your shit up when your drunk.
I once was drunk, and ended up drinking from a random girls cup and drank some kind of date rape drug. Well gladly i drank her whole cup which was 1 liter.
My friends later told me i drank 6 liters of german beer. I woke up in a different part of town with symptomes of liver cerrhoises (yellow skin on the belly / hip area, indicates liver damage).
Kept it to myself and stopped drinking and it went away.
What i was truly dissappointed about is that none of my friends supported me on this, this felt like a huge backstab.
So Tl;Dr: think ahead before you empty that bottle.
>>17302690
I don't get ugly-drunk once a week, I just want to be mildly drunk all the time.
>>17302737
Oh okay, i have a friend who is tipsy almost everytime i see him at work. Can't really say he is doing bad but i think he got depressed.
Would a prostitute have sex with me if i say i'm a virgin?
No, she would run away alerting all her prostitue friends not to make a deal with you. You will be put on the prostitute black list.
>>17302646
of course and may give you a virgins discount. Enjoy

Only for money
This morning, I went Waffle House and some nigger asked me what time it is. I said, "7:30 nigger. You late for work at the cotton mill?" He seemed visibly upset and tattled on the manager. I ended up getting kicked out before they served me food.
What is wrong with being political incorrect today? It's how I feel to certain people. I should say what I want to without being punished for my actions.
I think you should consider the fact that everyone around you wants to call you an autistic fat neckbeard with no social skills, however they all withhold that from you because of those said social skills.
I'm not defending niggers but if you lack a basic filter your gonna find that a lot of people dislike you and your probably gonna get your ass beat for it too.
>>17302643
Racism is wrong, pure and simple. And before yoy spout about free speech, you can say whatever you want without censorship, but that doesn't mean you can't be punished after the fact.
>>17302643
2/10 if bait.
4/10 if genuinely a socially incompetent boob.
I think I may have some form of dyslexia.
Can anyone that is more knowledgeable than
me help me out?
What I struggle with:
Horrible with numbers
Hard time spelling
Reverses letters in words
Cannot tell right from left
>>17302641
Is this with reading? Or with writing? Important distinction.
>>17302641
Yep, that sounds like dyslexia. If you're in school/college, see the counselling department for testing. If you're out of school, ask your doctor for referral to tester.
>>17302670
Mostly writing
greetings 4chan lads,
I graduated recently from a German Gymnasium and acquired my abitur - a diploma from German secondary school qualifying for university admission or matriculation. I, however, do not have the slightest idea what to study. Hence, I ask for your support. Thanks.
Some information at hand:
- I graduated with A+ (1.0)
- I majored in English, Bio, Maths, German and Ethics
c'mon guys...
>>17302615
That depends on your interests. You can either chase money or doing something that fulfills you, be that in technology or whatever else floats your boat.
>>17302704
yea, now.. I forgot to mention that I'd have liked to study psychology, which I am not permitted to. My parents are pretty serious about it...
How does a person overcome fears and anxieties about the future?
>>17302607
Live for the present.
>>17302607
I think what you are looking for is faith.
You have to have faith in yourself, that everything will work out at the end. This doesn't mean that everything will be good. It means that when shit hits the fan, you'll be able to handle it.
E.g. worst case scenario you land on the street, homeless. You have to have faith in yourself, that you'll react to this situation by working your ass off looking for a job.
Most fears come from parents. Are you scared of being homeless or are you scared how your parents will feel when you are homeless?
>>17302607
Just remember, no matter what you may accomplish, may possess, or may experience in your life, you'll be dead by the end of it.
>guy I played online games with for about 9-10 years now asks me to be best man at his wedding
>me being faggot i say yes
>it's in the most remote part of the US you can be in in the 48. I live in the south. I will have to drive to Nashville airport, fly 2 1/2 hours, drive 6 hours, and then I'm there.
>i'm part of the wedding so i can't just be there for one day I have to be there the whole weekend for rehearsals
>away for 6 days total just to go to a FUCKING wedding
>i've never met any of these people, i don't know what any of them look like in real life.
>he wants me to hang out with his groomsmen etc.
>I REALLY FUCKING DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE A TOTAL OF 20 HOURS TO DO WEDDING SHIT WITH TOTAL STRANGERS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
>i've already booked travel plans but would more than happily cancel them and eat the cost if I could just stay the fuck at home
>If I ditched he'd probably hate me forever but if I go I'll probably hate him forever and say something very mean to him on the best day of his life for asking me to do this
What should I do? I fucking hate this, I know I'm a shithead but what the fuck should I do here.
I'm planning on going, my family/gf are MASSIVELY against it and think I should just tell him, and stay home. I'm going to be driving thru nothingness to go someplace I don't want to be, for multiple days, costing myself around $700
Is there any way out of this? I know I suck but who the fuck asks a stranger to be best man. If it was any other wedding thing I'd say NO FUCK YOU but I didn't have the heart at the time.
Bump for interest
Most people don't talk to someone for 10 years and consider them strangers.
>If it was any other wedding thing I'd say NO FUCK YOU
But isn't it any other wedding? Like you said, dude's a stranger.
>>17302592
Do it as soon as possible, with everyday you get closer he will have more trouble replacing you.
You sound like a moody fuck controled by your parents and gf, i wouldn't want to go either but i would accept that as a reason.
Boyfriend messaged me today saying that he thinks he needs a break while he settles into work.
He was a neet until a few months ago.
I asked for him to call me for this conversation because I feel like this is a conversation that should be had over the phone instead of text.
He hasnt replied, obviously hasnt called and I dont think he intends to.
He isnt cheating because he is still very neet, he just has a job he goes to on weekdays the comes home and games.
Am I being unreasonable to have me have said what I have? The messages were sent over 3 hours.
Should I just accept that its over, even though hes said its a break?
Why don't you meet him face to face?
>>17302537
You are totally reasonable. Dumping over text is just disrespectful.
Why are you dating a neet though?
>>17302537
Girl to girl, if a guy ever needed a break from me I'd never go back to that. Why'd you ask how long? Doesn't matter. He should be chasing you after pulling some childish stupid shit like this.

How does one stop being a man child in order to become a real man?
>>17302501
Do adult things until being an adult feels natural to you.
>>17302501
Depends what you class as a man child. My hubby still plays video games (we do this together too) we still have immature laughs together. Personally I dont see anything wrong with being in touch with your inner child, as long as you are able to function as an adult, you can always be happy doing the things you always enjoyed :)
Every day, do at least one thing that you don't want to do. Doesn't matter how big or small it is, or whether or not you've wanted to do it in the past. There are only two rules:
- At the moment you do it, you must actively not want to do it. If you've been not wanting to do it recently the whim strikes, that doesn't count. This has to be sonething that you have to force yourself to do.
- You have to DO something. Not doing something that you want to do doesn't count, because it doesn't involve doing anything.
This is practice. The goal is to build active discipline. This will help.
Hello /adv/.
The last few months I'm having very vivid dreams, although not lucid ones because I don't control the conciously.
Most of the time there is a, let's say, "plotline" that lasts for a long time and still makes somehow sense.
By that I mean it's not a chain of illogical events but most of it makes sense in it's own strange way.
I often wake up out of it and I can go back to sleep and jump right into the "plot" again.
It's like every night I dream one to three very long and detailed stories.
Interesting to say is, that strong emotions are rarely attached, so I rarely wake up having cried or scared.
The dreams I have are also rarely nightmares.
Now my problem with it is, I wake up out of them and in my drowsy sleepy state I kind of want to know what else happens in that "story" and I get back to sleep again.
But that means that I usually wake up at 1 to 3 P.M so the whole fucking day is wasted.
Not even my alarm can help me out even if I place it on the other side of the room I get up, turn it off and get back to sleep again.
It's like I have to stay awake for at least 5 minutes to get back to my senses, otherwise I'm like a fucking zombie who can't control it's own body.
The fact that I work in the evenings doesn't help either.
It's like half of the time I'm living in my dream world.
But I don't really get why, I mean I'm not depressed, my life is actually pretty okay, of course I long for a more fulfilling life but who doesn't.
But I mean I'm also a 21 year old young man with his life ahead and big plans I plan to achieve, but I won't achieve shit if I sleep half of the day.
I just hope maybe someone knows what I'm talking about and either had the same problem or knows what the exact core of it is, because apparently I have some problems solving it on my own.
Please help if you can and thank you for your time.
>>17302495
Speaking from experience, that happened to me at one time as well. It was a driver that pushed me towards my goals, and I miss those dreams so much.
I was going nowhere at the time really. Could not find a decent job, no real prospects and then that started happening to me. I was even able to write a dream down and it would make a bad-ass novel if I ever get around to it.
Now I'm finishing up my Law degree and MBA in a joint program at college, and it's largely due to those dreams. As soon as they stopped, I got my shit together and reached for the moon.
Embrace it, dream away until they are gone, because it's not going to last.
Are you just too drowsy still to realize it's better for you to wake up?
Maybe look into a better alarm clock. Some weird one where you have to do something special to turn it off. That way you wake up enough to make conscious decisions.
>>17302519
I actually know what you mean, some of the "stories" I dream are so fucking crazy you could make several bad ass novels out of them, it's just that they are so crazy and interesting that I can't get my ass out of the bed, because they are most certainly more interesting than my "okay" life right now.
Could you elaborate on how these dreams were a driver for you?
And what kind of psychological value do they have?
Is the mind longing for something greater and wants to tell the body to cooperate?
How could I use those dreams, so to say, for my cause, as you did.
>>17302525
Yeah exactly, although most of the time I have that tiny voice in my head that tells me: "You asshole know exactly that you should get up right now and get your shit done, you will regret it if you don't I assure you that." and I do regret it everytime.
I had the same thought, any ideas on some crazy alarm clocks that could do the trick.
Louder ones don't help me though, I know that already.
