There were a lot of people out today and I found a baby beaver crossing the road. All the cars stopped and wouldn't even go around it even though it was so small they could just drive over it. I crossed about 5 feet away from it and other people saw it, they were all giggling and laughing. I just walked by and I heard people get annoyed so one girl (still smiling with delight) ran to pick it up and moved it to the nearest forest (assuming that's where the beaver wanted to go). I know they must feel very righteous but I know they only helped it because it was a cute little thing. I care for the ugly and mistreated, would they have helped it if instead of an adorable "likeable" baby it was a disgusting, repulsive vermin? Would they have pitied it then? Would they not treat it like a pest and hope the worst for it? They looked down on me for not helping the animal, probably thinking they're good people but I know 99% of people would've helped the baby if they could - I didn't do it because I knew it was safe, even the cars stopped for it, and I was also angry that so many people cared for the well being of that animal. Hypocrites that they are, they ignore the drug addicts and homeless and other unfortunate lives, they enjoy their lives, they don't volunteer and only work when it earns them money - but they happily help a cute creature, not even their own species who they argue, belittle, mock and hate, but a cute animal makes them become like angels, willing to do anything for it. Not everyone is lucky enough to be wealthy, the poor people are those without money, beauty, creativity or any attractive features. In other words, I'm upset that these people (most people) would not realize their terrible hypocrisy and feel good about themselves for doing something that gave them pleasure, helping an adorable thing. If it were a pest they would be annoyed that it's alive, repulsed by it.

In other words, what i'm saying is:
>Homeless person begging for food
absolutely nobody helps this person, they avoid even looking at him. They have money but don't give any
>cute rodent crossing the road
Everyone stops, nobody can continue with their day until this tiny furry creature's life is saved.

I live in NYC and the homeless here are homeless by choice. Begging for your change is their job and you aren't doing them a kindness by paying them to to their job.

You miss the point of the post
Fellow guys, how do you get over the fact that dating is such a rigged game?
Women from 16-30 have guys throwing themselves at them 24/7 irl/online, men do literally all the work...you're one of 20 guys that asked her out that year or even hundreds if she has dating websites. You dial this work and then at anytime she can just drop you and move on.
How do you keep doing it?

Because sometimes there is a mutual attraction, and I don't think so little of myself that I deny the possibility
>>
>>17174449
You just described online dating, and it's rigged because it's the last resort for men who are socially inept and women desperate enough to sort through them.
>>
>>17174458
Not just online dating dude and you know it. Even in irl the guy approaches, has to impress the girl, set the date, etc. literally do all the work just to get told no. And she can get a bf at the snap of her fingers.
I'm in love with my best friend for several months. We have that special bond, we can spend countless hours together and it never gets weird or boring.
The sad part for me is that she has a boyfriend, but she never talks about him. It's a long distance relationship and they rarely see each other.
She has already told me several times that she really liked me but what does it say? Is she trying to leave a backdoor open, just in case?
We text everyday and I have to think about her everyday.
Should I confess to her?
It could get weird because we see each other at university quite often.
But I don't really want to keep living like this. I tried to date somebody else but it just didn't work out, still had to think about her.
So should I try it and move on if it doesn't work or am I too selfish if she is already in a relationship? What are the chances she also has feelings for me?

Goddammit, OP are you me?
I have to tell you that I am in an absolutely identical situation except we both already graduated Uni.
I confessed my feelings for her and she said she loved me back, but she didn't know how to break up with her boyfriend without hurting him and she's scared of us breaking up and not being friends.
If you can surmount those obstacles, you're doing better than me.
Cute pic, by the way.

I think I'm in love with one of my friends. He's single, and has been for nearly 8 years now (Since he was in 9th grade from what I understand) because he spends all of his free time with his best friend, a blood cancer patient.
He has never directly said it, but I'm pretty sure that he has chosen to be alone so he can be there for his friend. He's the best person I know, and I know that he's always going to put his friend before himself. It's because of that that I worry about asking him out. I want to be there for him, and I'm ok with him not having a lot of time for me, but I really have to wonder if he would even give us a chance.
Please, if you have any thoughts, I could really use some advice.

It's always hard to say with friends. Emotions can be confused or misinterpreted pretty easily just because the nature of friendship.
Personally I don't think he's been alone this long because he wants to be there for his friend. I'm sure he's caring and wants to give his friend a lot of his attention during this difficult time, but I just don't think that level of needless self sacrifice exists in reality. He still eats food, clothes himself, goes to school/work, and lives life, there's always room for romance. Do you think he's interested in you at all?
>>
>>17174300
I think he is. He doesn't literally spend every second he can with his friend, we've spent time together and he does have his own life, but we're both college students and we both have jobs, so the only time he has more than an hour or two off at a time is on the weekends, and he always goes to see his friend every weekend.
Truthfully, I don't think it's a matter of time or availability. I think his friend getting diagnosed with cancer when he was a kid emotionally wrecked him. I've known him for a few years now, and he's one of those guys that can make just about anyone laugh, but he keeps everyone at arms length. I'm no psychologist so I really have no idea what the real reason is, but I think he avoids getting close to people to avoid the pain of having to watch a 13 year old kid deal with cancer ever again.
To answer your question, I do think he's interested, I just don't think he'd ever act on it.

I started talking to her on facebok 2days ago and last night i invited her for a coffe and a walk. We stayed until late and i really like her. When i took her home she didnt give me that look that was a sign for a kiss and she just kissed my cheek and said she wants to see me again.
Does she want me just as a friend?

Yes. Everyone just kisses their friends of the other gender on the cheek. Also gives them nippletwisters.

Just apply to state schools and you'll be fine
>>
>>17174136
You sound like a very subpar student. You should not be considering out of state schools. They're vastly more expensive than in-state schools, and considering your track record of uninvolvement with your studies and outside activities, an expensive school is not worth the money. You need to find an in-state public school. Expensive schools are for kids who want to achieve, and make the cost worth it.

I wanna go out of state for social reasons,
That being said i am looking at Rutgers as an in state option but I don't think I can get in due to my transcript

Welp, here goes:
I'm married. My marriage isn't great; we're not in love with each other, but we are a good team and we've been together for many years. We're heading towards divorce, of that I'm certain.
Recently, I connected with my best friend. We've known each other for 5 years, and spend a lot of time together. Previously, it was platonic, but there was always something special about it. She would always come to me with her problems, and open up to me in ways she wouldn't open up to other people. In that regard, it wasn't mutual; I tended to keep my cool and was a set of ears to comfort her. We have had a lot of fun over the years, but recently, it became more. I felt compelled to open up to her, and we connected...deeply. Over the course of a month in a half we fell deeply in love. We were skeptical at first; she's married as well, and is no longer in love with her husband. Maybe this was to be some fling for two dissatisfied spouses. However, the bond only grows stronger. When we're together, everything is perfect. Things I had taken for granted in the past, with my wife, or girlfriends before her, are so meaningful with my friend. Holding hands, cuddling, holding each other, going for walks...all of these things give me some happiness and peace, to the extent that I have never known. We crossed the line and have had sex several times. I thought that after sex, the magic would fizzle, as it often does with the quick-onset "love" people experience. Strangely, it only intensified our longing for each other.
I dare say we're soul mates, because when we're with each other our worries seem to melt and everything about the world feels right. We have the same goals for our lives, including building a home and a family with similar values and tastes. Our interests are very similar, and we love trying new things together. And, as I suggested to earlier, the sex is incredible. I've been with many women, and this is an entirely new experience for me...

...it's sublimely passionate, intense, emotional, and satisfying. She recently confessed that she always viewed sex as a chore, as a means to please a man. With me, she says, she feels intense love and connection when we share a bed, and that she doesn't want to go back to sex as it used to be, for her. So yes, we want similar things, like similar things, want to explore the world and the experiences it has to offer together, and we're at peace, and truly happy in each others' presence. I have never felt this level of attraction and connection to someone, and I've been "in love" many times, or so I've thought.
At this point, I want to be with her, as much as I can, for as long as I can. While my marriage is unraveling, especially since my wife and I have been more honest about no longer being in love, and not seeing a bright future, my friend's marriage is not at that point yet. She was considering divorce, for her own reasons, before all of this started, but that will not happen immediately. Waiting is no obstacle to me, and I would gladly be patient for the chance to be with her.
The trouble, of course, is that it isn't so simple. Our jobs will have us relatively far from one another, starting in 1 month...for what is likely to be 3 or 4 years. There is a chance I could be able to relocate closer to where she'll be, but there is a high probability that we'll be apart. The distance isn't terrible; it's a 7-8 hour drive, and a 1.5 hour flight (direct flight, inexpensive). It would be easy to see her several times a month during that time.
My question to myself, and to you guys, is...do I bite the bullet here? This is the kind of person, the match, the soul mate, that I gave up on finding a long time ago. Now she's figuratively here, and I can't let go of that. This is my chance to have the partner I've always wanted for myself. A true partner.
>>
you're both cheaters then?
enjoy being right back here in a few years when it fades again and you cheat on each other again.
>>
>>17174045
I've considered that, and so has she. Statistics show that can very likely happen. I don't have a response to you to negate that, other than that the real cheating would be turning my back on something so beautiful.
Been dating this girl who is educated and intelligent and successful. She's able to discuss deep issues that most girls her age don't give a damn about with depth even those that do don't. I really like being around her.
Yet the other night she acted like an absolute child when she didn't get her way. Then stormed out (I did not chase after her).
It's not something you'd expect from a young STEM woman who manages large groups, holds respect from her peers, and could probably be a high-ranking executive of some major tech company within the next decade.
What's up with this? Women who have their shit together acting like children?
Anyway, she apologized via text, but I've decided to just ignore her for the next few days at least so she understands this behavior isn't acceptable with me and that she's replaceable even if I like her. I think that's fair, but tell me if it isn't.

you can't. you learn things by studying to some degree, but you gotta actually apply it. you actually do math. you discuss history. you make art.
gotta take the instructions and go play with others.
>>17172295
this helps. what you got to remember is that when you leave a situation your life is literally no different than it was before you went, and none of these people will remember you in ten minutes unless you made a good impression and made plans to meet again

Dear mom,
I still have a hard time dealing with the fact that you ditched me and dad to start a family of your own.
I do however keep tabs as I have found my siblings Facebooks, watching how oldest two of the five are making stop motion videos with castles made from cardboard and teddybears breaks my heart. They will manage in life, and for that I am happy.
Maybe one day we can get back in touch, I miss you and the rest of my siblings.
>>
R, I hope you don't hate me for clinging to you everyday. I can't stand anyone else around me. I only like to be around you. Everyone else around me acts exetremely immature. It's boring. You're interesting, so I like to hang around you the most.
Whenever we hang out though, it feels like you're trying to push me away sometimes. Like, some days you'll be super happy and giddy to be around me. Other days you'll act cold and push me away. Hell, you do complete 180s in minutes.
I just want you to like me, R. Or love. Whatever.
Also when are we gonna fuck and get married?

I'm planning an escapade with some chick I've known for 5+ years now to a beach city that's like two hours away.
We both work and are responsible, so I'm not waking up with just one kidney left.
Do you guys have any advice? We're staying at a hotel, what days would be cheaper?
Should I rent a car or buy bus tickets?
Just general advice would be appreciated

Why would you rent a car if you're only 2 hours away?
Camping at the beach > beach hotel
Eat sandwhiches and shit during the day and go out to restaurants for dinner.

Idk, so we can move freely around the city, instead of taking a cab.
It's a pretty commercial city, there are barely any public beaches. That's why hotel is a must.
The food thing is solid advice tho

>that fucking bush
Guys, I'm at work. I can't be fapping on the job.
Hello /adv/
I have been lurking quietly here for some while already, and I can see you guys are pretty clever and experienced in some things.
I did like to take your advice about me having a bad time with my girlfriend.
It feels really unconforatble and it's not just her acting different, it's actually me.
So, my situation is quiet complicated, you'd have to be aware of many points in our lives to kind understand why silly things are being taking so much stress.
But, here goes a long story short.
>move to new city to study university
>university is good
>cool professors
>nice classmates
>meet this girl
>cute, smart, defends herself
>I like her
>but I am not the guy that filtrs so I just try to be his friend
>I become his friend
>always together
>walk her home
>we sometimes go to eat somewhere (rarely)
>we had very few moments were we both felt "love in the air?"
>still didn't do a move
>it's been only 4 months
>have to know her better
>I start to get pressure from classmates
>"tell her already or you will lose her"
>I am like "nah"
>later that day
>by a glance saw that she still chats with her ex bf
>sends her hearts
>"oh shit"
>time to act
>invite her on a date, never done that with her
>accepts
>confess her that day moments before I get her home

Firstly i dont know who the fuck that anime character is.
Secondly it's taken you 4 months to ask her out? There are guys who'd ask her within the same day of meeting her. Anyway it's still salvageable aslong as you stop being a weeboo cuck.
If you really want this girl, you need to practice flirting/talking to other girls and gain confidence in yourself. Once you feel like you're pretty good at that, then try flirting with the girl you like and proceed to woo her.
You need to get some muscle, talk to chicks and grow up.

Me and qt matched on tinder and we went out the other day, had lots of fun, went to her place, fucked, it was great, we even cuddled after but I had to go cause I'm 18 and still live with family and shit
We used to text every day before, now we go days without response from her. I asked her if she still wants to see me again like she said and she's like "yeah definitely I had a great time" then stopped responding again.
Is she trying to see if I'm not clingy or whatever? What do you reckon she's thinking? I'm not anxious about it but I am curious
