So /adv/ seems like it has no age limit. Is this true?

Although /adv/ is a worksafe board, it still has an age limit of 18+, much like the rest of 4chan.
>>
it might as well have no age limit with the kinds of people who come on here desu
it's always funny whenever a poster announces they're 16 in the OP
>>
>>17256235
There are age limits but most of the posters in here are 12-16 year olds. A lot of high school love drama threads here. Just lurk a few days and you'll see a pattern.

how do I deal with the feels of not going to prom
prom is in 3 days and I'm still a kissless virgin loser
yes I know prom means fuck all in the long term, but it really is a once in a life time thing
I can just imagine...
>meeting up my qt gf at her place ready to pick her up
>nervous, but knock on her door
>greeted by her parents who tell me she's almost done getting ready
>she walks down the stairs looking more beautiful than she ever will
>we say our goodbyes to her parents and drive over to prom cracking jokes on the way
>have a magical night at prom chilling with my bros and gf at the same time
>we leave early and drive up to the park where we lay under the stars
>see her eyes glisten in the moonlight and kiss
>know that this will be the last time we will be free of adult responsibilities
>doesnt matter cause all that matters is now and that we have each other
but nah I'm probably gonna spend prom night fapping to tranny porn, going to the gym, and sleeping
fuck it's not fair

Yeah, getting struck by lightening is a once in a lifetime thing too but that doesn't mean its cool.
I spent a shit ton of money and time and energy getting the tux, going to the girl's house, going out to dinner and all that bullshit and I remember nothing about the prom except I got chocolate on my suit and the DJ played terrible top 40 hits all night.
I'm gonna be real with you; prom is only magical if you're a fucking idiot or you're a character in an 80's movie. In real life its a bunch of pimple faced assholes in rented clothes paying hundreds of dollars to stand around in a room for 4 hours until its time to go home.
>>
I'm 30 years old and didn't go to my prom. Ask me how much this affects me. It's really meaningless.
Like the other guy said, movies are not real life.

help me out
Ideally I'm looking for a long term relationship not a one night stand or a hookup.
24 year old virgin, new to the dating scene.
6'2"
built like a linebacker
I have aspergers, which makes understanding people harder, and I struggle with conversations on dating apps.
Going out of state for college in the fall so I'm wondering if it's even worth the effort of looking for a girlfriend before graduation.
I'm an outdoorsman, country boy, redneck. Whatever you want to call me.
What should I do to be better at meeting/connecting with women?

It depends on a number of factors: what position you land in, what exactly you land on, how fast you were going at impact, and others. People have died from 5-foot falls, and people have survived 22,000-foot falls unharmed.

I'm starting to get the sense that my boyfriend isn't into me physically anymore.
He told me the other day that he is in love with my personality and that he could never find anyone else with a personality like mine. He's raised the idea of marriage a few times. The problem is, our sex life has dwindled significantly and I have to practically beg him for sex. I tried to bring it up with him and he'll come up with an excuse like he's just tired - but he'll jerk off to porn all the time. He will often compliment my personality but pretty much never comment on my looks.
I know I'm not hot but I think I'm fairly attractive in a "cute" way. Before this I didn't really doubt my attractiveness but now my self-esteem is really going down. Should I be worried/what should I do?

>for 26 years I've gone to the dentist and they've told me that my teeth are perfect
>never had any problems except for teeth pulled to create space in my mouth for braces
>suddenly, I go in today and x-rays reveal a 'minor cavity' which as far as I can tell is a tiny dark spot on the x-ray which is barely visible, but has gotten darker since last years x-ray
>hygenist tells me that they've been "watching this cavity for 2 years and it's gotten worse"
>now it needs to get drilled out before it goes through the enamel into the next layer of my tooth
Why the fuck would my dentist AND my hygenist tell me for 4+ bi-yearly visits in a row that my "teeth are perfect" only to tell me now that I need a cavity drilled because of a tiny dark spot they see on my x-ray?
I mean, is this gross incompetence or just utter retardation?
How can you tell me my "teeth are perfect" but then not inform me that I've had a cavity forming on my enamel for two years when I could have stopped it by flossing more?
Has anyone else had to deal with this shit?
What's it like getting a cavity drilled?
Fuck, I'm mad.

I've never had a problem with these people before.
The only thing that annoyed me was that my dentist would only come in and actually look at me for ~30 seconds every visit, but I was used to this because of how "perfect my teeth were" so this didn't concern me.
>>
don't freak bro, it's no big deal. i monitor lesions like that all the time but usually ill tell my patients. flossing more wouldnt have helped.

You don't.It's one of the most basic instincts for self-preservation and it's very deeply ingrained into our minds.It's what keeps us alive and,in some ways,makes us feel alive.Everyone is fearful of death to some extent,even suicidal people(unless they're sociopathic or something).
If you want to ease the fear,you could start believing in a religion or philosophy like epicureanism.Or accept it as unavoidable and try to channel the fear to make the most out of your life(easier said than done,but eh).
Some people with some talent(like Unamuno) have tried to become "inmortal" through their works.You could try to do something for which you'll be remembered.Don't shoot up a school tho.
Other than that,you could think about what it is that you really fear.Is it what will happen after your death?Is it not feeling anything?Is it leaving something undone?That might help you find an answer.Or not.The fuck I know.
>>
By dying. Once you're dead, that's it. Game over. There won't be a YOU to experience anything. It won't even be nothingness, because you have to be alive to experience nothingness.
What was it like before you were alive? What was it like when you fell into a dreamless sleep? That's death. Nothing to be afraid of.
>>
‘Death, is nothing to us, since when we exist there is no death, and when there is death we do not exist.’
you are fearing a boogeyman. you can't really stop your body from wanting to not die, but you can get your mind to understand death is not real.

Before you post a question, check here to see if it's already been answered
Keep your questions short for more answers.
And please no derailing arguments.
FAQ:
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
>Is my body part big/small enough?
>Am I short/tall enough?
>Would you date a virgin?
><random insecurity>
Some do, some don't. Preferences differ, but complexes are always a turn-off.
>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Get over it by practicing and exposing yourself to it, little by little, step by step. There is no single magical moment that will instantly change you forever. It takes hard work, time, and effort.
>I like someone. What do I do?
Ask them out.
>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out. This is something that cannot be explained. You either have learned to intuit this or you have not. If you have not, the only way to learn is experience--there are no shortcuts. So it comes back to: Just ask them out.
>Where do I meet girls/guys?
Anywhere outside. Or online. Don't complain that this isn't helpful; stupid questions deserve answers like this.
>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. Stop overthinking it.
Alternative answer: we don't fucking know.
>XYZ happened. Interpret this for me please
We're not in their head, we don't fucking know. No amount of your walls of text will fix that.
>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing
>Someone has made it abundantly clear they're no longer interested in me. Do I still have a chance?
No
>Where do I go on a first (or subsequent) date?
Pick one or more of the following: coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, ice cream, movies, zoo, aquarium, museum, art gallery, <activity in your city>
>Brandon, that one guy who keeps asking about cuddling in platonic friendships and fart guy

A couple of months ago this girl started working at my workplace and I immediately took a liking to her. The feeling was somewhat reciprocated but things started going downhill precipitously once I let her know that I was interested in something beyond friendship.
While we were getting to know each other she openly admitted that she had BPD and was in therapy because of it. A part of that might be confirmation bias, but from what I've Googled about the disorder, and what she told me about it herself, certain behaviors of hers are easily explained by it.
For one, we've been on a roller-coaster ever since I told her about my romantic interest in her. We'd go from daily phone calls and chats to "I don't think we can be friends anymore" during the course of a week. Then when I kept my distance and cut off all non-work-related contact I'd hear something along the lines of "let's not go to extremes, we can still be friends".

OP continued:
The most problematic incident was around 2 months ago when she went upstairs and told someone she "had a problem with me", all over some misunderstanding that led to her feeling "ambushed" or "smothered". I've got a good enough reputation that nobody seriously suspected me of harassing her, plus she later recanted her accusation, but I still needed this sort of bullshit like I need a hole in the head.
Right now we don't keep in touch at all outside of work, while at work we'll sometimes have a chat over coffee to keep up appearances. At the same time I occasionally get messages from her saying... "do you still like me?" or "we should meet up after work" when our shifts overlap.
I don't blame her for any of this situation since most of this behavior is explained by her BPD - plus I admittedly rushed the relationship question early on. What I'm wondering now is how to handle it.
If it were just up to me, I'd still try to be friends with her. I'm not sure I can trust her though, and almost everyone somewhat familiar with the situation (though nobody at work knows about her disorder, at least not from me) is advising me to cut off all contact. Even the cutting off option isn't as simple or obvious as it may sound. I'm afraid that if I reject her too clearly there might be another unreasonable reaction. I'm basically between a rock and a hard place here.
Hope some of you have similar experience and can offer some constructive feedback.

Please tell me I'm not the only person who initially misread OP's pic as "Friends are the rapists you can drink with".
I'm irritated /adv/..
I've been going to the gym the past few months and finally am starting to put on some muscle and gained a bit of confidence in myself. I typically go to the gym late at night because there is usually very few people there. But the last week, every fucking night at the same time I go there is this big group of Muslims that have been going there now. I fucking hate it. They smell bad, and I'm pretty sure they are refugees getting subsidized housing and free passes and bullshit. I'm thinking about quitting. Because I don't like being around them.
What do I do? There is no other inexpensive 24hour gyms near me at all. Everything else is super super expensive and crowded beyond hell.

There is a lot of them. Today there was 11 of them.. It's a pretty small gym too. Not big at all. so it felt very crowded. Especially since when I typically would go, usually it'd just be me and maybe 2-3 others. But lately this same group has been there and it's always a bunch of them. They smell like shit and they are loud. They speak to each other in Syrian or some shit. I hate it. I left after 10 minutes of being there because they ruined the environment.
can I complain to the owner? They have the card access pass. so they either subscribed or are on a 1 year free trial (very likely). Because they just opened new subsidized housing close by and the builder did free passes for people.

Is there a place I can go to talk to someone?
I've tried sites like 7cupsoftea but they're not the sort of help I'm looking for. I don't really know what the help I'm looking for is. I guess a psychiatrist but I can't afford that and I don't like the stigma of seeing a psychiatrist.

Are you unhappy? Is something wrong in your life or your circumstances? Does something need to be changed that you're unsure how to action?
Hypothetically, how are you supposed to react when you're mistaken for dead due to a stupidass hospital and go back home to find your girlfriend, best friend, and his girlfriend have a """grief""" threesome?

Did that happen to you? If it did, it should feel pretty damn terrible.

It's understandable that you would be upset, but if she had every reason to believe you were dead, there is very little if any call to hold it against her. Had you acthally died, your relationship would have been over; she was honestly mistaken, but she was given false information.

This would be an awesome premise for a movie or something. Everyone thinks you're dead and you come back to exact revenge on those who have wronged you in your absence.
