Hey /adv/, this has probably been asked thousands of times before, but how do I reply to a girl I matched with on OKC?
>her: I'm starting college this year
>me: what course are you interested in taking?
>her: engineering.
how can I reply to this without sounding like i'm giving her an interview?
thanks

Say "cool" then talk about yourself and what you do a bit or make an encouraging comment about her choice ir something
She's kind of rude for not giving you a cue to continue the conversation from
>>
>>17212406
you dont. sometimes you gotta suc kit up and not be the perfect conversationalist chad thundercock. it happens. a lot. a lot of the time its cuz they dont like us and are just waiting for an excuse to delete. other times its cuz they simply aren't very good conversationalist themselves.
remember that there is no special combination that will make her like you. you arent a bad hacker for not figuring out what will make her drop trou.
if she says
>engineering
you say
>oh thats cool, I took XX myself. now i do YY and it helped cuz of ZZ. any particular sub field you're looking into for employment?
she will etiher respond with
>particular field of AA or BB
you respond with what you know about those, and also volunteer information about yourself where you can.
or she will say
>no
>not really
that means shes super not interested and you should give up.
>>
Don't say "cool" lol.. Relate to it somehow.

What does it mean if you're in college, and ask people if you can do group assignments with them, and they say no?
So, next semester we will have lots of courses where you're supposed to make group assignments. And these groups are to be formed on our own. I have no friends. So I have to do assignments alone. Which would be great if it wasn't for presentations. Am I supposed to go up in front of everyone alone?
I get the advice that I should ask people and they will say yes. But I do ask them and they say no? Or ignore me. Or say they are full or whatever. What am I doing wrong here? Cause the fault must be with me if they all get along? And the Internet tells me that I can just ask?

if they say no, ask why.
id just do it laone, its okay to present alone.

You then approach the professor who puts together all the lonely losers like you into a group.
Why don't you just fucking make friends?
>>17212401
>id just do it laone, its okay to present alone.
Lots of professors don't allow this, they make things a group presentation for a reason.

>>17212394
Look as someone who's about to graduate with a lot crappier grades than I should've because I did all assignments on my own for the first two years, just ask. People are less intimidating than you think they are and even if they're assholes, you'll never have to see them again after the assignment. And you'll graduate with better grades most likely. We even had people who sent out emails to everyone in the course asking if there was anyone who still needed a partner. Just be helpful and pleasant and you'll then get a reputation for being a good partner.

I've had pretty bad acne for the past year or so, and I can chalk it up to being one of three things (from least to most likely):
- my ADHD medicine (Adderall XR)
- humid environment
- shitty roll of the dice
Pic related, it's what I'm using now. It used to work fairly well, not 100% but I was pleased with results. Last week I moved to a new place which is ~1 and a half hours away from the previous place and my face is breaking out like hell. My shoulders and back, which are a partial problem area, are okay as far as I can see.
Can anyone reccommend some additional product I can use? I really don't want my face to be scarred to shit.
Some info that might help:
- my skin is oily. I take showers daily not just for hygiene, but because if I don't, it gets really awful and I hate the feeling of an oily face.
- My parents never had acne this bad.
- My acne seemed to only develop after I moved to this humid environment, when previously I lived in a moderately hot, dry one.

I used a Sulfacet wash that worked bretty gud. I think it is prescription though.
So I am currently 28 and child free. We want a baby and start trying but I haven't gotten a relevant job related to my degree. I graduated a year ago (I used to work as a graphic designer but then went back to college) keep going to job interviews every second week. I am a kindergarten teacher, it's not that easy to get a job in this particular area and we can't move due to my husband being a boss at this company.
Should I wait until I get a relevant job or just go for the baby? I already waited a year and I am worried that it might be harder to have a child when I get older. We can support the child, I already have worked up all rights as of this month at a call center. Though not sure If my boss would be thrilled If I got pregnant, but I have rights don't I?
Worried that I will get a job when I am pregnant, because life tends to have the worst timing. Urgh, thoughts?

You seem to be choosing the career / baby scenario.
Its your job as a woman to have bebe. Not to work in call centers instead untill your ovaries dry up.
Is it the right time? Probably. Your husband has a good job. He should be able to fit any unforseen costs.
Also, the right number of bebe is 2.1, if your only thinking of having 1 bebe you are not going to be in demographic balance. There needs to be enough bebe to replace momy and dady when they kick the bucket.

Could always adopt

Sorry, but you aren't a teacher if you aren't teaching.

I'm in a weird and most certainly peculiar situation and I have no clue what to do
My friend is regularly beaten by her father, and last night she got fucked up pretty badly as he both beat her and pulled a knife on her this time, even "accidentally" cut her, afterwards he threw her out the house
I would without a doubt take her in since I'm 18 and the people I live with would understand but she's 1.5 years younger and lives in Turkey where all of her family in unison agree that her dad fucking her up is OK because "he's the man of the house"
What could I possibly do besides just talking to her which I already do? I don't wanna lose a friend here, either her dad is gonna kill her eventually or she'll kill herself if things continue like this

Sounds like you already have a plan.
Take her in. See if the dad comes after her. You might have to confront him. Hope your ready for a fight. If not, call cops and cower under your bed.

It only takes one candle to light up a dark room but it takes a lot of darkness to hide light. In other words, you try to be that candle and give off light in a dark world.

Is it possible to not enjoy several art forms / mediums as a whole? I've watched many movies and TV shows, and played many video games, but none of them have done anything for me since I was a child.

Hey
I'm 24 and virgin, duh. I've never had sex though I did have a girlfriend sometime in the past, whatever.
Tomorrow I plan to get an escort. I'm not some depressed schmuck who thinks sex will change my life, I'm not terribly ugly but I don't feel good about myself. I don't feel adequate. I don't want to, when eventually get a girlfriend, embarrass myself by being a virgin at 24/25/whatever age. It's just not alright and I don't expect any girl to actually understand me and my life and decisions.
So I'm doing this to sorta just shove it out of my way and take my mind off at least 1 thing.
Anyone else did this? Am I in for a lifetime of self pity and crippling depression? Or am I just gonna have a chill time, get my virginity out of the way and continue living my life, feeling a little better?
If anyone wonders, Ima get me a nice, plump, petite redhead with glasses. If I'm paying for sex, I might as well get exactly the girl I dream of fucking.

>plump
>petite
pick one.
that being said, you have to remember that virgin does have some 'spiritual' aspect to it. or perhaps more of a 'cultural' aspect to it.
while you will get off, its not much different than using a fleshlight. i mean she may be active and mamke it great, but thats just a robotic fleshlight.
it doesnt prove anything and you will walk away feeling worse after awhile, cuz you felt like you lost it 'wrong'. like imagine everyone in town hunts, and you want to hunt to so you pay someone to bring out a deer they caught and hold it down while you shoot it.
imagine someone challenged you to a fight and you pay someone to beat em up for you. imagine you asked a girl on a date, she said no, and then you paid her to go on a date wtih you.
thats what that is. yes you wlil experience a penis in a vagina (though with a condom whats the fucking point?) but you will still be a virgin in any way that matters and when you do get with that girl you are waiting or, you will think You are even more pathetic than before cuz you had to pay to lose it.
im sure you are capable of getting a real girl.
>>
>>17212202
I know your feels, OP. I'm a 28 year old virgin and I consider hiring a woman all the time. Except that I'm ugly and depressed unlike you. Anyways, you should consider the risk of getting a disease when hiring an escort. Also, for me, I'm not sure how bad it would fuck me up mentally for the rest of my romantic career of I hired a whore.
Best of luck, OP. If you do go through with it I hope it is a good experience

i asked for help a couple of days ago and got some answers, want a few more opinions.
this is my first serious relationship. this is her first serious relationship. i'm 25, she's 21.
my gf started summer classes recently. i've been interning at a hospital which takes up most of the week. this is the first instance of our relationship where we can't see each other as often as we'd like. usually our schedules weren't this rigid and consuming.
she has begun doing something a tad odd and i'm trying to shake this feeling of insecurity/jealousy. over the course of roughly two weeks since she started class, she has texted me about her male classmates without any provocation. a few examples recently:
>wow, my lab group if three macho dude bros. send help
>one of the guys in chem asked if i wanted to study together and i'm going to go since i need the help and he seems to know his stuff
>i met a nice guy named jake in lecture
i was actually in the middle of typing this out when she called during her break. since our schedules don't line up well, we haven't been able to talk much on the phone either so i eagerly picked up. while we were catching up i picked up on a few things.
>she and one of her lab partners (mike) have other classes together and talk
>she and jake do homework together
>jake has her number, texts her
i think i'm overreacting. our relationship is good/healthy. i think it's just my imagination assuming the worst. i just don't like the way she compliments these guys ("macho" or "beefy" mike or the "intelligent" or "smart" jake) when i'm never asking about them. her giving her number to jake is also an issue but they're classmates and this is pretty normal. i've given my number out to plenty of lab partners and such during school.
i don't know. again, i feel like i'm fitting that cliche jealous boyfriend mould with the way i'm thinking and it has only been two weeks.

it's odd she never mentions any female classmates, hmmmm
>>
>>17212157
she hasn't mentioned any female classmates by name, no.
i don't even ask about her classmates. just how class is going and how she's handling the coursework. the way she has mentioned these guys over text are, again, without provocation.
i haven't addressed any of this. when i noticed the remark about jake texting her i didn't say anything. i didn't acknowledge the text she sent about her studying with jake. i wanted to assume she was just being honest/transparent with me.
>>
>>17212186
since she never mentions female classmates she isn't interested in study with them and likely they guys are all over her and using the old study together to be together. I think she's telling you to get a reaction to see how far she can go. I'd just ask her if she has any female classmates or study partners you never mention any.

What would you do if you knew someone liked you, and you liked them, but you knew there was no hope for it in the long term?
I think me and this girl could have like an amazing year or two dating, but at the point of getting serious it would fall apart. Shes to in to god and having a big family, im a science minded agnostic and want maybe one kid. We debate big topics and keep it civil, both of us seem to enjoy having our views challenged. Honestly we would be a good fit for each other, but we just want different things.
Is it such a horrible idea to date someone when you know there's an expiration date? What if you haven't had a date in 4 years?

Those two differences are the two biggest differences that make or break a relationship. They're incredibly serious, fundamental differences.
That being said, people change. You have no idea what you will want or who you will be in 5 years, let alone 10. Around that 8-10 year mark is when you should start thinking of ANY kids, multiple or just one. So chill. You might change your mind. She might change hers.
As for religion, if she doesn't give a shit that you're not religious and doesn't ask you to participate, then whatever. That's fine. My mom is not religious, my dad is hardcore Catholic. They do their own thing.
You're trying to plot out every step of a process that takes years to go anywhere. Stop it. Take it day by day. Have fun, love one another, see where it goes. If it ends in disaster, who cares? You tried. You enjoyed it while it lasted. No one is meant to leap and commit fully to the first person to come along in a long time. Date without goals. You'll be happier that way. After a few years, then it's time to set some goals for your relationship.

>>17212131
been there it doesn't work and one of you have to be the adult and call it what it is. It's sad. What about agreeing to be just friends?
>>
>>17212131
id date her. are you really at a point where you want your next girfriend to be your last?
I'm losing motivation for entering the job market. The whole process of selling yourself, networking, building your resume, interviewing, and then getting rejected for a job anyone could do... The whole thing is starting to annoy me.

I no longer enjoy my life.
I lived through midschool and highschool thinking that being adult is way more fun and then things will get interesting.
I'm an oversensitive 18yo virgin, who hates all his friends. I literally can't stand saying "hi" and pretending to be happy about it anymore. I don't fucking care about the music they listen to nor football. And I think that getting drunk isn't the best way to spend time together.
I hate my country, full of nationalistic shits who beat people on the streets for having curly hair.
I've been looking for a hobby since primary school and never got into anything. I just can't enjoy shit. Sports, books, games, movies, shows, collecting stuff, even extreme sports. This shit just isn't fun.
And the only reason why I haven't killed myself is that I'm worried about what would they think about it. "wow, what a faggot, he killed himself because he was weak!" or shit like that.
What do I do

people already think that, and anyone who is going to your funeral wont think that, and anyone who DOESNT isnt worth worryingg about in death.
im not saying kill yourself, cuz obviously you dont want to. just pointing out how stupid an excuse that is and even you know that. you are no better than those assholes who are like 'I DEFINITELLY REALLY DO ACTUALLY WANT TO DIE BUT I CANT BECAUSE THERE ARE NO TALL BUILDINGS TO JUMP OFF OF NEAR ME AND GOING 20 MILES TO THE NEIGHBORING TOWN WOULD COST TOO MUCH GAS XD'

HOW DO I UNDERSTAND THIS GIRL, /ADV/?
>be me, kv in college
>fall hard for girl from camping trip
>seems she's into me she always comes out of nowhere with random hugs and grabs my hair and made a joke about how I'll probably have a bunch of girls following me around
>eventually ask her out (by text unfortunately I'm sorry but I never saw her around campus at that time)
>"Hey so nice to hear from you again sorry I'm busy that day"
>figure that is a nice way of rejecting me (even had a thread on /adv/ about it)
>try to move on
But now I'm confused because since then she has not changed how she acts towards me at all.
Every time she sees me she still just jumps in with a hug
What is with her, /adv/?
Was she actually just busy but never proposed another time???
Is she just physical and huggy with everyone??
Can she detect my beta-ness (only really happens around her) and therefore views me as like a 'gay best friend' or something (I have a bit of a feminine personality)
I'm afraid it's the last one because other times girls give me random hugs out of nowhere too and I doubt it's because they're into me lol

I hate eating vag. I just can't stand it, regardless of how clean it is and I did force myself to do it to keep my girlfriend happy several times but I decided to tell her I'm not a fan of it and how it's not at all her fault. She said she didn't want me to do anything I don't want to do and felt really bad that I was doing something I didn't want to do (this is why I love her, isn't that the nicest?) But she said she's gonna really miss it.
How do I get myself to tolerate it? She was so sweet about it and I don't want to deprive her. It wouldn't be so bad but she likes me going at it for 20-40 minutes before we have any other sex. If it was just 5-10 minutes It wouldn't be so bad but she has had trouble getting off her while life and needs extra time.

Do it in 69 and it's much more fun and erotic.
Just eating it is pretty boring and uninspiring no matter how well you do it, unless it's a quickie to get saliva to get things moving.

That's long enough to get tired of any single sexual activity/position.
