Hi /adv/.

I'm feeling very lost. How can I meet people who like video games and anime without, who aren't also complete pieces of shit?

People who keep up with the bleeding edge of the internet and technology.

I'm so tired of expending effort on befriending people who are, for lack of a term that isn't cringeworthy, "normies." Yeah, I can easily put on an act to meet some Reddit clones, but that makes me sad. I want authentic friends.

I feel like the only chance for a fulfilling social life I'll ever have is online.

People like the people on 4chan are very rare to find in person. When I do find them, they're usually shit. Meme obsessed. No substance. Or otherwise neurotic to the point where talking to them is a chore.

Another obstacle I face is being desperate. When I meet someone I really like -- someone I would be proud to call my friend -- I smother them. This is probably because I'm socially starved.

What should I do? For the first time in my life, suicide is actually starting to sound like a good idea. The amount of loneliness I face is torture.

Generally speaking I'm a very unemotional person. I very rarely have emotions like anger, fun or sadness.
However, I have never loved somebody. I once asked out a girl back when I was a Chad. I thought love would come naturally if I spend a lot of time with her. It didn't happen.

Is there something wrong with me, or is love a meme. Do we start relationships only to overcome lonelyness?

Recently I realized something.

I have no ambitions or achievable dreams.

I just feel uncomfortable with what I'm doing, but if someone told me "well, do only what you want to do!" I would be confused.

I just don't feel any drive inside to do stuff any stuff. I don't have any hobbies, I just want people to think "wow, anon is so smart, handsome and funny!".

I lost my virginity only because I don't want to be seen as a loser. And I go to clubs almost everyday to get laid and be able to say "well, I fucked a lot of women in my life".

The thing that motivates me the most is seeing someone "cool". For example watching a movie with a big masculine dude as the protagonist or watching a harem anime.

My biggest dream is being famous. I'd literally become a Hitler of the 21st century to be a historical character.

Hey /adv/,

My girlfriend is trans and is currently not receiving hormones or scheduled to. She is a British citizen and intends to go to England to study as well as do her transition.

England is known for having retarded wait times for trans patients however and apparently many people opt to go through a private clinic for their treatment. She doesn't have access to many resources so what I'm wondering is how much do private clinics usually cost?

Also, I live in Canada and apparently the healthcare here for trans people is better than it is in Britain. Being a British citizen, are there any perks of privileges that come with that that would possibly enable her to come live here and study while keeping costs to a minimum? I've done some research but couldn't find much in the way of what I was looking for.

She just desperately wants to start her transition as soon as possible while being able to go to school to get on with her life.

What do you think the best course of action in this case would be?
>Inb4 suicide or man up

Pic unrelated.

I am a 24 year old woman. I'm a 24 year old MAD woman. Everywhere I look (nexflix, tv, facebook, 9gag, intergram) women are portrayed as this FASHION-MAKEUP-CONSTANT DIET doll. Am i the only one getting worked up about this? Am i simply looking all the wrong places? is there such a place in social media where u can actually witness women as more than simply these one trick ponies? SOOO TIRED. young girls need someone to look up to. Someone that pops up in their dayly life at least half as much as the kardashians.

Where can I find decent women in the 18-21 demographic who would be interested in some sort of committed relationship?

I go to a tiny satellite campus to study mechanical engineering and it's all guys here, so meeting people at school is out of the question. I've tried Tinder, and even had a couple relationships from the app, but in the end they all turn out to be cheap skanks. Where do I look? I'm in the Seattle area, by the way.

Any short men "5' 8" and below here who have any sort of advice at trying to meet women and date the ones you like as a short guy?

How much of a "problem" has your height been? How do you react when women challenge you or reject you because of your height? Are dating sites good or bad if you're a short guy yourself?

Little about me:
>5' 6" 120lbs
>some lean muscle and fat, look thin overall
>have OK facial aesthetics
>make a reasonable amount of money for someone my age, have a nice clean car and my own apartment
>seem to have a large enough circle of friends that appreciate my time and company that I must be doing something right when I interact with people in general

And yet, I have been told by people I know, both men and women, that my height is *definitely* a factor when it comes to how often I get rejected. I figured I'd state that now because I know there's going to be people who insist it's not my height, but my attitude that puts women off. Honestly, I wish I could fix my attitude and become as attractive as tall guys, but I know it's not like that at all.

Before you post a question, check here to see if it's already been answered
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'm trying to ask my girlfriend about who she snaps. I don't want to break her privacy and go through her phone, and personally, I think I'm being a bit of a baby here.

I can tell she either receives or sends them, and today I know she's sent some. It's just shit I've extrapolated from her snapscore. Since it's there, I have a hard time looking away, but I think that's just me justifying my own insecurity.

Anyways, I'm really drawing a blank trying to think of a way to ask who she still snaps with. I figure it's probably a few of her old friends, but she doesn't know a lot of people anymore.

Fuck, I'm definitely being a moron here. It's really nothing to worry about and I hate that I can't help but feel this way. I've been with her for a hella long time and through some really rough patches in the past. She's never given up on me or been unfaithful. I'm a big baby.
