Finally finished college, got my degree. Now how do I get a decent job that I won't hate and won't bore me to death? Parents told me if I worked hard and studied what I was interested in I'd have a job by the time I graduated, but that never happened. I'm charismatic, got great people skills, can deal with numbers aight (one of my majors was in STEM). What should I look into? I look at job ads in my city but there really doesn't seem to be much posted up there, and I don't know what to apply for anyhow.

I would imagine your degrees, GPA, and goal job would be somewhat relevant to this thread. Just saying.

>Now how do I get a decent job that I won't hate and won't bore me to death?
You keep looking and looking and looking and hope you find one. Expect to go through a load of shit jobs you do hate and do bore you to death before you find it.
>Parents told me if I worked hard and studied what I was interested in I'd have a job by the time I graduated, but that never happened.
It never happened because the days where that held true are long gone.
It's not optimistic advice, but it's honest.
I'm a fucking loser with no hobbies aside from lurking on 4chan and laughing at the occasional funny shitpost
Obviously this cannot translate as a skill into real life, and it is also very unfulfilling
I would like some recommendations of hobbies that are rewarding and have a steady progression, so nothing like art because it takes 5 years to become decent at it
I am thinking of cooking and gardening as my chill-out hobbies but I need a couple more that can be 'useful', something technical maybe
I thought about programming, woodworking, etc. but i'd prefer something away from the computer and something cheap to start with
Something that can make me some side money would be REALLY nice
Learning languages. Plenty of free resources online, check the >>>/int/ sticky for some of them. I took up Japanese among a lot of other languages. I now translate doujinshi/manga on the side, and it's decent money. I'd also recommend taking up an instrument.
>>17248064
I'm missing out on a lot of artistic ability. I ruled out drawing/painting/sculpting/music because I just don't think creatively at all. Unless there is a way to learn creativity, I don't think i'm even going to try those.
Language learning sounds good though. I might go with an easy language at first, what would you choose between French, Spanish, or Dutch? I'm english btw so Spanish won't help me like it might help an american
Do you have interest in gadgets? You could use some starter-kit for making your very own electronic circuit and getting it to do stuff for you. There are plenty of brands of microcontroller (it's just like a brain to control components you add) out there, but Arduino should be cheaper and friendlier.
Stay creative m8
How to tell my gf that I like her feet? I'm homrny af but I'm afraid that she'll tel me I'm sick or something like that... Help dudes.
horny* meh
"Hey, can I tell you something weird?"
One of the most common fetishes and you'll think she'll be weirded out?
Ugly kissless virgin here. I just created a fake Tinder account with the profile picture of a moderately cute guy I swiped from /soc/. Can hiding behind this picture so that I can talk to girls get me to learn to be more comfortable talking to them?
Obviously, I don't intend to ever actually meet them or exchange real numbers. I just want to have conversations and practice flirting.
Also, within the first 10 minutes of swiping, I already saw to chicks I know in real life. In fact, I just worked with one earlier today. I pressed the "like" button just for the lulz.
I do this. I actually have several accounts and i talk to girls i know via all of them. It is great for both getting to know them and influencing them on multiple levels
>>17247181
>Can hiding behind this picture so that I can talk to girls get me to learn to be more comfortable talking to them?
My knee jerk reaction was to tell you this was a terrible idea but the more I thought about it the more I began to consider the possibility that knowing what its like to communicate as a confident man might actually help you communicate as a confident man.
As long as you plan to eventually start using your own face to be talk to women this might not be a terrible idea. I'm not exactly sure. You've given me something to think about, anon.

Kek kek kek kek kek.
Whats the point??
Thats like placing extra pathetic on your pathetic.
Where do you think it will end up.
inb4 anon falls hard for girl on tinder but can never meet and ends up killing himself.
I'm a guy who enjoys practical jokes. So I went to see my new girlfriends parents. After dinner I excused myself to go relieve myself. Instead of going to the guest bathroom I found my way into their private bedroom with a bath. I sat down there and pinched a loaf. I'd been saving it for the occation so it was huge and hard. And it needed minimal clean up effort, so I wiped my butt and threw the paper in their waste basket.
My gf has been hard to reach and she cancelled on the movie we were going to see tomorrow.
Should I explain to them it was just a prank? I mean, I thought it was pretty funny.
>>17246026
Oh, Im a bit stoned. I didnt take a shit in their bath, i took a shit on a toilet in their private bathroom. And also didnt flush. Left it there floating. Haha.
What are we doing here, OP?
>>17246036
idk advice on how to handle it
How do you show love to your male ffiends?
Grab their ass when you cuddle them
swallow their cum
>>17245766
check'm
Fake it until you make it
Well i fucking faked and now im scared as fuck
I have to fuck a girl tonight and i have never been inside one before
She thinks im a fucking sex machine
What do i do?
Seems like comedy gold scenario.
I'd just go on with it, what's there to lose? Virginity? If you'll be able to get it up in all that pressure you're already a winner imo. Wish you luck.
>>17245104
And it'll make for a funny story regardless of what happens.
>>17245104
>>17245104

There is be alchool which is nice
What's there to lose?
Worst case scenario i cant find the hole to put the dick in

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
Fuck off
I sent a picture of me with my shirt off to a girl I like. I feel immense guilt and embarrassed with myself. I feel terrible right now.
Anyone else have this happen before?
>>17242901
Take your pick grills
Girls, do you tend to pick male friends who are attractive to you? Or does that not matter when it comes to friendship?
So I dont usually come here but I have no idea where to turn. My girlfriend and I have been arguing a lot past two months with me being sort of the starting point, however today she basically said she would break up if I kept on going like I do now. I really like her, she is amazing, yet I cant stop getting mad at her for very basic things. Now I just dont know if its worth fighting for because she might not like me anymore. Im really torn on how to act.
Only one thing to do. Kill yourself
>>17249379
>Im really torn on how to act.
How about acting like an adult?
Plus.. You probably don't like her that much if you keep getting mad at her..
>>17249414
Yeah, damn. I have to do that.
Well its mostly due to me being a jealous little bitch.
I've been in a relationship with my gf for about 4,5 months. Today she sent me short movie where a guy proposes to a girl with some singing and shit. Then she asked me If I would do something similar fir her (jokingly). I told her that If I was ever going to do that I wouldn''t copy anyone. Then I asked 'who said that i'll ever do that, heheh'. She responded 'I dont know, whatever'. Did I fuck up saying that? How do you even answer to things like this even If it's not serious question?
How's the sex?
>>17249244
Yes, you did. She looked at the video, felt jealous, and wanted to hear from you that you'd do it.
Nah, it just sounds to me like you took the joke out of it for her. You haven't even been dating for six months yet, it was an obvious tongue in cheek thing, and by answering more seriously you caught her off guard. Could be because she doesn't like to be reminded that you most likely will not get married, could be that she suddenly felt self-conscious joking about engagement in this early stage, could be that she heard something in your tone of voice that threw her off (like you were already sure that was never going to happen or god knows what). No doubt more options.
Either way it's not a big deal.

Worst part, I am not giving great guys a chance because of this.
Yeah that sounds like a long shot, plus he is seeing someone else so you need to delete block ignore and move on.

Hi!
This might sound weird, but:
Where should I, as a gay male, realistically start looking for a partner to be in a slave(/sub)/master(/dom) relationship with (as slave/sub)?
Not necessarily 100% BDSM leathery type stuff.. Could be daily life as well without all the ridiculous and leathery stuff.
Thanks.
And sorry if this sounded really weird, I have honestly no idea where to start.
Try a site called Fetlife. I don't know if its still up but your only other options are craigslist or adult stores. Some adult stores have boards where people leave note or you can leave one about what your looking for.
>>17249095
Well, not Orlando
Seconding fetlife, but be safe when doing this stuff with random. Always meet first on neutral ground like a coffee shop to make sure they aren't a total creep. Then when you're with him make sure a friend knows where you are.
So I was at my usual coffee-shop-bar hangout spot last night after I got off work at midnight, and there was a girl there that I had never seen before, and she's super cute.
For almost an hour and a half she hung out behind the bar and did small menial tasks while she talked to me about stuff. I got her name, but I was kind of drunk by the time they closed and I left and neglected to ask her for her number.
How can I follow up on this without waiting around at the place for her to show up like a total creep? Did I fuck up by not getting her number? If it doesn't work out I don't want to be shunned from this place because I like the people there and I like being a regular.
tl;dr - met barback girl, super cute, into cool shit I like too, forgot to get number like an idiot. How can I follow up without being a fucking creep?
>>17249024
Shameless self bump.
>>17249024
>How can I follow up without being a fucking creep?
if you go in sober she'll lose interest. go back under the same conditions as last night
>>17249107
You really think so?
I guess I can wait until next weekend. I'm just thinking she might forget who I am in that time. But if she doesn't, good on me, right?
I felt pretty weird staying until close there, too. I got the impression the male bartender that was there was really not into me hanging out and talking to this girl.
Hello /adv/
Today I forgot that it is my moms birthday. My dad texted to remind me and I called her directly after. I feel bad about this, but not truly. My mom, dad and my sisters get along and seem to relate to each other, generaly behaving like a family does.
I however have never felt like a part of the family, and if it was possible I would opt out and never care about them again.
Am I just autistic or is this feeling of not belonging / not wanting to connect with the family common? I've always kept to myself, and I don't hate them or anything like that. Had a good childhood, they never "understood" me or whatever though.
I'm on the same boat as you, anon.
It seems like you never connected with them. It may be some deep isues, it may be just the fact that they didn't spend with you enough time but it's their fault, not yours. It's not like it's child obligation to form connection with parents.
Don't feel shitty, just do whatever will make you happy.
Anyone acquainted with Tinder that can tell me what's going on/if anything is going on? I've used the app Swipely to show me people who've already liked me. When I go on Tinder and like them back, nothing happens. Also I've used Steven Kelly's photographs and got nothing, no matches. I emailed Tinder about it and got 10 matches instantly, then nothing for an hour or so. I replied to the email I sent and got another five instantly, then nothing again! An explanation I can figure is that while I was away from the app people have been liking me/liking me back. Okay, fine. But the matches are trickling in at a much slower pace than before as well... I dunno. I think for some reason I get blocked/shadowbanned when I try using Tinder. I've gotten like 30 matches out of 700. Seems low, no?
>>17248907
You were using Steven Kelly's photos? Like - someone else's pictures?
What do you honestly expect to accomplish with that?
Maybe people just know you're full of shit
>>17248915
I would've never heard of Steven Kelly if not for 4chan. I've no idea how famous he is. I'm using his photos because he's obviously attractive and his photos are nice, and trying to see if my account is screwed or not. 30 women out of around 700 right swipes, is it normal? That's all I want to know. Like I said, I suspect my account is messed up for some reason. But when I go to the gays I get a match every second, so maybe not.
>>17248922
I'd say that's fairly normal for the easily fooled.
Use your own pictures. No selfies, no pictures with hot girls. Have like, 1 of you with a friend, 1 of you doing something you like (outdoor hobby)/you with your dog, and then one of you with a group of friends doing something that you like.
Have your description say something short and sweet - not a paragraph about your whole life.
Something like "New to [city redacted], avid cyclist and film lover. Trying to meet new people who like to have fun" or some such bullshit.
Think like, how would you introduce yourself during a small talk conversation? You wouldn't drop that you're into the goriest horror melt movies from the 1980's, you would say you like scary movies.
