How feasible is it to be able to pay off most of your expenses and then live decently working 30 hours a week or less?
>being a wage slave
A smart man told me that no one ever gets rich off a salary, you need to do better things with your money besides spend it on things that don't last, buy assets that you can make additional money off of ie: land, stocks&bonds, even gambling to some extent. So ya, its feasible, but not preferred if you have dreams of living a luxurious life style

>30 hours or less a week
Dream on
I get paid about 1200 a month in a 40 hour week
It's not much but it's not nothing either
Spending 60% Saving 40%
Planning on going into trading later
Most higher paying jobs won't let you work part time, so you're looking at a life of poverty- only you can decide if that's what you're willing to echange for more time off.
hi i'm a noob how do i study effectively and consistently for university with 5 course load like university of toronto? i'm dying here
5 course load? pleb
I have 9 courses, I'm lazy as fuck and still I manage
Besides, you wouldn't go through with any advice given so you might as well leave
The exact same as high school you stupid shit. The only difference is that the professors will fail your ass now if you don't do the work.

Does this mean you're taking 5 or 9 units or 5 or 9 classes?
There are classes to help you study more effectively, simple small weekend classes that will help with stuff like time management.
Study in a different room than you do everything else in. I go to my schools study rooms and get a majority of my work done, so when I get into the room I have nothing else to do. No distractions or people, etc.
If you are taking too many classes drop some - it's better to do really well in a few classes than complete shit in a lot of classes.
>You aren't saving anymore time if you have to retake classes and struggle in the future cause you did shit work
my girlfriend thinks that sex is just sex, and that its the mans job to do everything.
i think that sex is playtime and there isnt a job to be done, but to have fun.
overall, i get 'the job' done, and i do it well. but i want her to play more, and to be silly and just fool around. how can i get her to play, rather than just have sex? its really starting to kill my arousal. im not bored, i just feel like shes expecting me to fuck her and there is nothing else i can do. for instance, she has no idea how to use her body. i tell her to rotate her hips upward so her vagina is aimed up higher, and she does the exact opposite. she doesnt know that simply touching the penis isnt what is sexy and gets me hard. i just showed her that rubbing her tits on my chest gets me hard, and shes baffled by the fact that i like to suck on her nipples.
i know im not the weird one for wanting to do something so outrageous like suck on nipples, and im not the only one that gets off on having boobs rubbed on me. thats normal, right? im starting to think one of us has autism...or maybe both.
>>17181754
Does she like sex?
>>17181756
she loves my dick. literally cant get enough. i try to tell her that if she does more in bed it will increase her pleasure,,subtly of course.

Subtly? Dude, give it to her straight.

Hi all,
I've come here because I don't know where else to turn about this.
My father is on a knife edge 24/7. Me and my mother have to tip toe around him. If you don't act the "right" way, he lashes out emotionally, for example storming out, slamming doors, and then being in a mood. This will continue until an apology is given.
Its quite disturbing when you are in the right, and have been hard done to, but are expected to be the one to "make up" and apologize.
I could provide examples if anyone is interested.
Has anyone else been in this situation?

Alright, allow me to be more specific.
My brother had a breakdown and had to move back in with my parents, where I live also. He is an ex-gambler and puts a strain on my dads already short fuse. My dad tends to get angry at things he doesn't understand, and if he feels inadequate, he will lash out. He is the kind of person who also needs to vent throughout the day about things people have said or done to annoy him, as most things seem to anger him. He is a book snob but incredibly inpractical and is very insecure about this fact: the last argument with had before this one was because he couldn't change the batteries on the remote and I should have known this and done it for him. Rather than simply asking me to do the batteries for him (I wouldn't mind at all), he lashes out and calls me selfish and other words. It is always my fault.
I tend to stay out of his way because I have learned how to handle him and I don't like shouting. I am careful with what I say, if I am not courteous enough, or don't say or do the right thing, he will become enraged.
However, my brother really flips my Dads switches more than normal, for some reason. The latest argument was because he was angry at something my brother had done and needed to vent and I wasn't in the perfectly receptive state he wanted. He never vents to my brother, it is always me that picks up the slack. My brother is a drain on him. This must have been bubbling under the surface and I said I didn't want to listen to my brothers problems. This sent him into a rage and he slammed the door. I followed him and apologized but it was too late. He shouted as he walked down the stairs and made a "no" wave with his finger and said Shhhh. Shhhh. Then slammed the bottom door.
I went downstairs to try and fix the issue, maybe I should have stayed in my room, no doubt he would have been in a mood if I had left it in limbo. I wanted to make it clear I didn't mind listening... (cont)
>>17181281
(cont) to his problems, I just didn't want to specifically listen to problems about my brother. I gave him the advice to be straight with my brother and say all this stuff to him in a calm manner rather than penting it up inside. All this time my mother is distraught. She always wants me to be the mediator, she agrees with everything I say about him, but she says "he's the one with the problem" and "I just want everybody to get along" (this means it's me that always has to do the patching up after his rages).
Perhaps I could have acted better. I am human. I made a mistake. I wasn't in the mood for it. I didn't want to hear about my brother's problems, how he is dragging my parents down with his selfishness (he has nowhere else to go because he stole money from the family to fuel his gambling a few years ago). And now it's a whole huge issue with my dad and his short fuse. He said a few nasty things to me when I went downstairs, more allgeations of selfishness, how "he knows what I'm like now when he needed me", how "he's not going to let me cause an argument" and then he put his hands over his ears saying "I can't handle this" and stormed out, slamming more doors. My mother and I went in again to try and calm him down and he ended up getting more enraged when I tried to calmly explain why I had acted how I did, and he ended up saying "leave US alone" (it was me and my mum who went in there to speak to him though?), and then "I just want you to leave me alone, I'm not going to give you the fight you want".
At this point me and mum left him and went for a drive and this is where she said to me he was abused and it's not his fault and I need to go and apologize otherwise it will never be resolved. This cycle is very draining and extremely stressful as it's always on me as the bad guy. I wouldn't mind the outbursts if he apologized. It is a huge mental weight to carry around with me and I worry I will start to internalize some of the things he is saying.
I feel like a social pariah at all times. I used to just be slightly depressed, but now I'm actually convinced that there is something seriously wrong with my brain. Also no gf, since I can't bring myself to strike up a conversation without feeling like a creep.
I have a job and hobbies that keep me busy, but it doesn't change that I'm barley faking being well adjusted in public.
I need advice on how to fix my brain.

It's something in the air.
So there's this new girl at work, and she's very pretty and just generally my kind of girl. She seems to be into me, too. There's just one problem: she's 16 years old. What do I do?
Don't do anything. If you ever have sex and she regrets it she will fuck you over.
>>17180519
How old are you?
what style of girls are you attracted to ("jersey shore", preppy, alternative, hipster, goth, etc.), and describe yourself as a person?
>>17179804
I like females who are kind, classy and caring, me being attracted to them physically, emotionally. I keep my mind open in terms of 'style'.
>>17179821
there isn't a type of fashion that you prefer more over than the others?
and what are you like?
attracted to hot women. I'm not hot.
Why do girls always walk with their arms crossed? Girls, are you really perpetually on guard?
>>17179032
yes.
>>17179032
I sometimes walk with my arms crossed because I'm not wearing a bra and don't want them to bounce too much.
I'd imagine it's more because they're perpetually cold (which if you ask any girl, they usually are)...

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>

Why are girls so flaky
Don't even pretend that guys flake as much
>>17178993
>How do I become a ladies man
Step 1. Gain confidence
Step 2 Apply confidence
Step 3 ???
Step 4 Profit
For real though, the more foolproof method is to work on yourself til you have something worth being proud about, and the women (and people in general) will follow.
>>17178996
>Why are girls so flaky
>Don't even pretend that guys flake as much
1.) Yes they do... I have a friend in particular who's notorious for just not ever showing up to the point where you know if you ask him about anything and he says he's coming, there's only an at most 30% chance he might show up
2.) If you're taking about online dating, because safety/fear
3.) Some girls are coddled, just like some guys are too. For girls they get more flaky, for guys they get more arrogant and filled with entitlement.
I was complaining to my FWB that no guy has ever liked me in a romantic way and he's like "I like you" and "yeah we're not in love but it's not just shagging"
I replied by saying that was interesting.
I'm not attracted to him physically or mentally I just close my eyes and pretend he's someone else

I'll be going to college this year (I'm 18), so I don't know whether this stuff will be too overwhelming. I'm going to a basic state college if it means anything.
>Intended Major
Biochemistry
>Classes
Biology 2, Chemistry, Calculus 1, English 2, and maybe Intro Mandarin Chinese
I can drop English 2 since I don't need to take it my first semester
>>17182575
For the first semester you should start with three classes, I almost screwed myself by taking on five.
>>17182587
Yeah, that's what I did. Took Calculus, Chemistry, and a writing class.
Do both Biology and Chemistry have labs? If so, you should drop another course. Two labs is doable, but not when you have five classes.
Okay so I'm 23 and was de-virgined at the end of last year. It's all going pretty well aside from the fact that I'm full-on terrified to go down on him. He's very understanding and hasn't been pressuring me about it at all, but I'm crazy about him and want to do this for him, and do it well.
What the fuck do I do? How do I keep my goddamn teeth out of the way, my mouth is small and my teeth are big. His dick is pretty big too, about 7.5 inches and pretty generous girth. I'm just terrified of going full cheese grater on his Johnson.
TLDR: How do zuck da benis
Practice with a banana or some shit.
>>17182442
Practice on a banana.
Step one: recognize he should never pressure you. That isn't normal.
Tell him to back the fuck off because pressuring you won't make you want to do the thing. Pressure doesn't quell fear or anxiety
