If it's because you're getting caught or if you have a GF then stop doing to so obviously. Or just wear sunglasses.

How can you be "that" guy, that attracts almost anyone and everyone wants to know? What kind of hobbies/mindset to have? I just want to be the cool guy that everyone wants to hang around with and take pictures, go to events etc...

Be the kindest person you know. Cultivate empathy and understand others more.

After that, learn as much as possible, and have a future outlook for your life.

Then when you at the party, you will be the person everyone wants to talk to because 1. You are a literal saint and 2. You have vast stores of knowledge to have interesting conversations about.

Be interesting.

A women who lived in the same area as me died a few days ago, it was her funeral today and i never went. my family think it was disrespectful that i never turned up. I never spoke to her or her family. If one of my family member died, it would make no difference to me if someone who i never spoke to didnt turn up. obviously i think its sad but i dont think it would make a difference if i went. was it really disrespectful? thanks

When you say area what exactly do you mean? Is this some small-town hick thing? Because in cities you'll be going to funerals every day if you went whenever someone died in your area. If you never knew them, never interacted with them, what purpose would you serve at the funeral?

Started reading "Learned Optimism: How to Change your Mind and Your Life" by Martin Seligman today. I am about of a quarter of the way through and can already say I'd recommend it to anyone, regardless of if you are happy or not. Other books I'd recommend are "How to Win Friends and Influence People", and "How to be a Man (and other illusions)" by Duff McMahan.

Anyone have any books that improved their life or helped them through a rough time?

I have many. Here are my top picks, they are mostly informative so you'll have to actually apply the mechanics to get a happier life.

>Thinking Fast & Slow by Daniel Kahneman
A short pop-psy book that talks about Systems I & II - the architecture of our minds and how we think. It's very simple and every freshman in college should read this. If not for the mind modeling then for all the information on cognitive biases. Knowing this stuff will help you make objectively correct decisions in life and spot errors in others' thinking.

>Book of Pook
Free pdf, just google it. I didn't read it all but it's a quick and forward take on social dynamics. Just read the lessons and skim some chapters. The book is a great introduction to understanding the opposite sex and can help you build confidence in interacting with them.

>Way of Men by Jack Donovan
Meme /pol/ book that's pretty good. The Pook one talks about understanding women, this one talks about understanding men. The chapter on the bonobos stood out the most for me.

>Sleight of Mouth by Robert Dilts
Still reading this one. It's pretty heavy and abstract with the concepts, but can help you create mental models of human discourse. Understanding social interactions and thought patterns can help you understand why other people do the things they do. By breaking down interaction, you can plan this stuff out or practice improving it - or go above and beyond and do social engineering stuff.

2/2

>Actualized videos on YT
This bald guy knows his shit. It's worth listening to him even though the advice is very basic, almost elementary. I like the piece on meditation the most. Worth downloading the audio and listening to that whilst driving.

>Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz
Takes like 2 weeks to build habits. Habits/systems are objectively better than pursuing goals.

>Mastery: The Keys to Success
Same thing as above, but shorter. tl;dr Maintaining systems is better than working "towards" a goal.

>Men's Fitness Bible
Or any workout book really. Conflicting views on which workout book is good/bad exist, but pick one and stick with it. Pretty much the idea is to get /fit/. Depends on how much you know of this stuff already, so read accordingly in this domain. Start with the /fit/ sticky. Exercise is very important and everyone should do it.

>Meditations by Julius Evola
Another meme /pol/ book. The guy has an insane writing style and I'm sure he's right on half the stuff he talks about. It's a hard read, but the take away is to meditate. This helps you overcome emotion and become more Stoic. Stoicism is a pretty good life philosophy imo.

If you wanna smash that pussy again, you'd better not. Just fuck her on the dl and find other chicks. But do NOT under any circumstances think she is more than a quick fuck for when you're horny. Also - feel free to cum inside her without contraception. What's she gonna do? Admit to being a whore?

i like the thought of smashing her pussy and then she goes and sees this little manlet with a tiny dick. i wanna show her I can fuck other girls but I can't seem to find anyone else really

A married guy I used to work with just texted me a picture of his erect dick.

I sent him back a "?" a few minutes later and he texted me back "SORRY SORRY MEANT THAT FOR (his wife)."

His wife and I do share the same first name. Is that plausible or did he just want me to see his wiener?

I'm also probably at least 15 years older than him if that makes any difference.

It's possible that it was a mistake since you and his wife share the same name.

Has he ever showed any sexual interest in you?
>>
You're an idiot.

It plausable...
But it is also sexual harassment.

Keep it as leverage over him at work.
If he starts getting out of line goto hr.

>work more hours than manager
>get paid less
>he doesnt come in at all on Saturdays
>Im the only employee that works here besides him

Ive told him time and time again he has to bring another person in but he just wont do it.

I work 6 days a week. It was only supposed to be part time but they have me on full time hours.

I can barely get one day off in advance yet he took 2 vacations in the last 2 months, leaving me at the store by myself for a week.

The owner is not the manager. That being said, i am very close to the owner of the store, and Ive already told him about all these problems. He said he told the manager what to do and how to fix but still nothing has come of it.

My job is not very expendable. It takes you multiple months to understand what to do, and about 6-8 months before you can run the store without asking for help. That being said Id like to get another day off at least, and hopefully try to convince management to bring in another person.

Ive done so already but no action has been taken.

If I were to leave, the store would be fucked since its starting to get busy and there would be no time to train someone to prepare them.

I just dont know what to do famalams.

Excuse the gif i used. Cancerous but catches the eye. I only found out 3 hours ago where it was from. a good reaction pic sadly stuck in shit show.

Well we've been togehter for three years and are still in the honeymoon fase. We don't have as much sex but thats only because i have a medical condition under treatment for the last year so we arent allowed. I guess if you're having a great relationship it's just great

>how long did the honeymoon phase last with your bf/gf?

3 monthish

>was there a reason it ended or did it just fade?

We spent too much time together, i fell in love too young and with a girl that really didn't know what she wanted, me myself included.

>do you wish it back or do you love what you got instead more?

Nope don't want it back.

>was there something you could have done to prolonge that phase?

Just stay real solid and not let silly love cloud my judgment and make me stupid. I realize respect comes first.

>what over and when was your first argument?

7 months in, i got real upset about a text from a guy, i confronted her and she didn't respond for an hour so i looked like a nagging bitch.

>has sex declined after the honeymoon phase?

not really.

A lot of women have no idea what they want, so don't fall into the love trap. You have to be willing to walk away from your girlfriend at anytime and hold her to strict/high expectations in order to keep you around. You are the prize.
>>
I've known her for 6 months and we've only just talked out our feelings and planned out first date two days ago. We've fought over the dumbest shit numerous times already as friends. I'm still in some sort of honeymoon phase and it's weird. Past relationships - didn't really like the girls so never really gave half a shit. First girlfriend I had there was like a month of honeymoon phase before we broke up and I cried myself to sleep for a week.

Is it ok to cheat and steal to get results?

I'm a business major and many of my classes very much allude to the ends justifying the means. There's also talk of taking advantage to better your business. The other day we discussed ways we can utilize a failing supplier and/or a failing competitor. It's not necessarily evil or anything, but it does seem very compatible.

Define "OK". Whether or not it's ethically permissible depends on your ethics. If you're in business, you should mainly care about what is legal though.
>>
>>17173827
A couple terms ago I had an ethics in business course that only talked about legality, so I get what you're saying.

OK in the sense that it's legal. No comment on it being morally ethical.

Hey guys, I was hoping some of you anons on disability could help give me some tips for securing it. I have a plethora of health issues, both physical and mental, but you know how it goes. Got denied once already and gave up. I have a couple of questions:

Can I hire a lawyer before re-applying (It's been nearly a year since last time)?

and how long did it take you to get it?

Anything else to add would be very much appreciated! The whole process makes me very anxious. :(
