- I'm moving to a new city. I do not have a job secured but I have had interviews for full time positions and am confident I could get an IT job
- I despise work. I despise the amount of time it takes out of my life, I hate IT and I'm socially awkward as fuck
- I have about £26,000. £10k is in an index fund ETF, paying a little dividend quaterly, £10k is in Crypto, which is now worth £13k and I have about £2k cash. I understand this puts me ahead of a lot of people and I don't want to appear like I'm unappreciative of what I have
Is it possible / a good idea to get a crappy part time job rather than a full time position? I hate IT and I don't want to spend all my waking hours around a job that I hate, but I also do want to increase my wealth. I was thinking of changing careers but I really can't find any careers that I would enjoy

You seem to have enough to live by comfortably, nothing too extravagant, but it's good.
How old are you now? If you're still in 20s, I'd suggest to go into full time job with main intention to get familiar with corporate worlds and its inner workings while trying to build meaningful business networks.
Then after all of above things secured, assumed you're richer and not being broke, you'd better off trying to figure to build a business in your early 30. You still young enough to be admired as "brave" or "inspirational" by people and still got energy to do lots of heavy shit.
Focus finding what works for you and build your own business with it, don't start running before you can walk though, it's a downfall often for most.

A big problem for me growing up was I didn't understand what made people attractive. You can call that aspergers poor social acuity whatever you want but it REALLY made things hard for me. All I done in my teens was sit around drinking and smoking weed with my friends and I thought things would just work themselves out. I'm lucky enough to live in a country that has a strong emphasis on government subsidized education and thankfully I'll be able to start an Econ degree this September as a mature student (23).
My theory is this if you want to be successful in life you MUST excel at at least one of the following things
1. Eduction/Work: If you live in a country that has scholarships, schemes or your parents have the means to send you to college work your ass off, get your degree and get a great job. If you can't go to college start in a entry level position work your way up to management and and then corporate.
2. Sports/Fitness: Join a club or society in high school put in the work and hope for the best or join a gym take working out and nutrition seriously and look incredible maybe become a PT or coach.
3. Creative: Anything from conventional art to graphic design to music. If you pick the right discipline and put in enough work you can make a good respectable living even if you don't become world famous in your craft.
This might sound like common sense to alot of you but I feel if you don't work your ass off in one of these areas you will never be successful. You will never have a comfortable income, beautiful wife and a nice house. I don't feel success necessarily means happiness but I feel it's a pretty big part of it.

False. Garbage disposal employees have a great income. Finding the hot wife is more about them that their job. So yeah, no need to excel at anything to have a decent life.

>>18614873
I think all of those things you mentioned could also be aggregated into marketing skill, as you need to sell yourself (the product), put yourself in a market(field/interest).
>>
>>18614876
>So yeah, no need to excel at anything to have a decent life.
Not OP, but if you lack social skills 1. is incredibly important. People can't ignore you if you have an important skill/trade.
3. is something that some social retards will have a hard time coming to grips with, in the sense that you CAN'T do it for money and attention, otherwise it's obvious. You have to do it cos you enjoy it. (Sometimes you get suspicious and wonder why anyone is interested in your crap.)
Dated a girl for 2 months. We broke up 4 months ago, and she's still on my mind 24/7.
We didn't even date that long. Why is she still on my mind so often? Isn't 4 months enough for a relationship like that?
What do I do?

Any vocal artists here? I want to start getting into voice over work. Not necesarily things like animations but smaller like radio tags, product promotions, snippets for podcasts etc. Is it really just a matter of recording myself reading things and listening to it over and over? I have one of those Blue Yeti mics which I can use to record with

Fiverr. Make yourself cheap and start getting experience.
There are professional meetups and conventions for vocal talent. Go if you can afford it. Then ask a pro. Not faggots online.
Also Yeti mics are gay

Be crazy aggressive with your presence. Voice actors are a dime a dozen, so even if you have crazy talent and/or a unique voice it won't mean shit unless you get out there and shove your reels under people's faces.

Yeah yeti isnt the best but im not gonna drop $200 on something that might not pay off. Ive had someone else also recommend Fiverr as well so ill look into it

Thats true, so im hoping to start locally, maybe find some groups that run podcasts or trying to get some commercials for their business in my town and see if they need someone
sup adv
for the past week or two i've been experiencing very itchy thighs/butt, and minor peeling on just the head of my dick. there's also small red dots spread out across my thighs, about 4 or 5 red bumps that resemble mosquito bites on the bottom of my butt, and small clear blisters filled with liquid on the sides of my fingers and feet although I'm not sure if they're related, they showed up at the same time as the itching.
at first i thought it might've been a fungal infection so i put some athlete's foot creme on it, which does soothe the itching somewhat but hasn't seemed to help beyond that. haven't had any sex recently, so it's not an STD.
any ideas what his might be and how to get rid of it? after some googling i guess it could be contact dermatitis, i'm going to rewash all my bedding without the soap i used last time and see if it goes away.

You idiot, in many cases STD's don't show symptoms for a while because they're busy infecting your body. Go see your primary care physician.

Dear /adv/,
---
TLDR: Is there any country you would especially recommend to live in to somebody?
---
I'm currently wound up with the permanent thought of emigrating to the eastern countries (China, Japan, maybe Russia), however I believe that this is no small task to accomplish. Being in education for computer science PHD, I still have some time to think & talk about it with people.
I'd like to hear some opinions of others regarding on the following:
* Is it safe to assume that these countries do not degenerate under some political idea nor are heading towards that direction? -- F.Ex.: Black Lives Matter-Raids in the US [Couple months ago], Feminism- & Islam-uplifting [General EU], Leftist Anarchy [Mostly Germany], General Failure of the State, etc.
* Are there any other countries you would advise to someone?
* Rather for people living in said countries: How is the taxation versus use of Taxation for the population? Do you think that most taxes are put to good use? More so: How is the quality of education for kids? What about the level of healthcare?
All in all, I'm discontent with the EU in it's current situation. While I love my home country, it's frustrating to even look at the daily newspapers.
Lastly, I'd like to thank you for your time & for any answers provided.
Ps.: I wasn't sure if this goes to /adv/ or /trv/, as this is not really about travel but migration. If it does however, I'd like to apologize.

Don't be a cuck which wants to flee like a girl and spread his inheret degeneracy in the east. POlitical mentalities are genetical. Whereever you move you still will end up voting to your own liking and favour destroying someones national homogenity. Be a man and fight or die with your fellow men.

If you don't mind fucking shitskins, move to literally any sub-Saharan country with $100,000 US and live like a king for the next 30 years.

When I was younger people would often say they wanted to be a marine biologist. I always thought of it as one of those things that everyone wants to do but there's no jobs for. My parents are both scientists themselves and always complain about the lack of funding, all the grants they have to apply for and how little they earn.
I got tricked into doing an accounting degree - it was my best subject in school and everyone kind of expected me to do it. When it came to deciding what course I wanted to do I still didn't know so I just went with it. I almost felt like people would be disappointed if I didn't.
Having graduated I've now realised how important confidence and communication/interpersonal skills are in business. Basically I'm socially retarded and so I feel I have little chance of success in the field. I've felt very depressed about it for the past year or more. I rarely make the effort to apply for jobs these days and if I do I've either chickened out of the interview or made a mess of it.
I'm often thinking if there's anything else I could do instead. Marine biology came to mind, and I'm now wondering how feasible it actually is. Are there actual jobs around or are you relegated to teacher or burger flipper?
I've always thought Manta Rays are cool, and swimming with them is high on my bucket list. Researching them or being involved with them in some way in my imagination sounds like a top job. And either way being able to travel and swim in the ocean for work sounds like a pretty good deal.

You most likely would have to go to grad school for marine biology, if not at least a bio undergrad. Most real science careers require grad school too btw.
>>
>>18614738
Grad school is just like postgrad right? Yeah I assumed that would be the case
>>
>>18614726
The jobs range from management, scientist, technician to crew. So it depends on your ability just where you fit in that arrangement. But you are quite correct, there are very few jobs in the field and the scientist jobs are very competitive.
You would get more Manta Ray time by working in accounting and taking long holidays in the Carribean.

I think I am relapsing hard. I cut contact with a woman 5 months ago. I am thinking about texting her again. I deleted her number but I know it by heart and I can't forget it.
I need help. Basically what happened was she told me she wanted to take things slow dating wise(what the fuck does that even mean) and I said okay. She then ghosted me. I cut contact.
Now I am feeling weird because I miss her very badly. She was everything I could have wanted in a woman. I have tried dating other women and none of them compare. I go to sleep thinking of her and wake up thinking of her.
Why me? Why does this kind of shit happen? I become strangely engrossed with things. A part of me really wants to be free of her. I don't want to kill her myself but I wouldn't mind seeing her get accidentally hit by a car or some shot. Essentially, I don't want to kill her. But I would walk a long way to see her die.
I hate her because she haunts my mind. I love her because we went so well together.
Help me.

No matter how great you thought she was man, she's not the right one for you. This is a big big ocean. Plenty of fish.
I had a similar situation of you'd like me to explain..
>>
>>18614785
Sure.
Also, there aren't plenty of fish. I hate that saying. Sure there are fish. But how many are women your age, that live near you, have similar interests and mind set? So yeah, there are plenty of fish. But not enough fish that would suit you.
I have had my eyes open too. But go ahead. Explain your story.

Guys I know this sounds defeatist but I just don't think I can get a girlfriend.
Secondly, I just want you guys to know that I don't browse boards like /r9k/, /pol/, nor /b/.
I just can't connect/relate to women, maybe they don't like me because they might think of me as a nice guy.
I never know what to say, how to act, etc.
My friends tell me (all the time) that getting a gf is easy:
>Just be cool and confident.
Seriously sick of hearing this crap.
Being cool and confident just means that you're sure of yourself and you don't let other people's words and actions bother you.
I'm a confident guy, because I'm okay with myself and don't let other people bother me.
Maybe (just maybe) women don't like me, because I might be ugly.
This is one of the reasons why I've been going to the gym on and off.
I've also realized that women don't go for nice (polite) guys.
I see women hooking up and falling for macho guys, douchebags, chiseled men and assholes almost every day.
I think I will have a much better chance with women if I become one of those guys.
Lastly, I also think that if I get physically fit (at least "otter mode") then I'm sure that quite a few women will like me.
What do you guys think of this ?
I'd really appreciate your advice.

Yeah it's pretty fucking clear that being a good person is not a trait that attracts women. If women find a guy attractive and he's also nice? Great, that's a bonus but not essential. As a standalone trait it's pretty much worthless. An interesting asshole is much more attractive than a boring but decent guy.

You're such a nice guy. I don't know why you don't have a girlfriend.

Just from a basic, simple level, you can't say ALL women feel the same way about anything. Some women date stoners with no jobs that drain their money, some expect you to own a car at 22 or they won't date you. So there are crazy bitches on both extremes.
But women are just people, dude. If you can't see them as people and individuals, then of course they won't date you.

Been with my GF for 13 months. I love her. Both 22. She is my first everything. She is v attractive, and I am 5'3 chubby boi, so I got super lucky and can't just get a new gf if I want.
We have sex MAX once a week and i think and tell her thats not enough. She just apologizes and nothing gets done. What is the breakin point /adv/, would you break up with someone you love because of sexual discompatibilty? How long is too long?

If you arent sexually compatible, either learn how to fap or find new partner. Or cuddle without sex. If you ever marry her, the sex will get only rarer in the future. So like once per two years or on your birthday only.
>apologizes and nothing gets done
She
>is on birth controll

>uses sex as bait or tool of manipulation
>never had orgasm (do you do oral sex? magic wand?)
>doesnt find you attractive

>or simply sex never was fun thing for her
Either way, prepare for sexless mariage. Happens a lot. I would break up, but i am not you.
>cant get a new gf
You can. Everybody can. It isnt easy, but still possible. Your lack of self confidence will be as self fullfilling prediction.
Break up or buy onahole.

So basically when we started dating my girlfriend told me how hard it is to turn her on, apparently her ex was only able to turn her on a little bit like 3 times in 4 months, so this posed as a challenge and not really a set back.
It's been a month since we started dating, and I've managed to turn her on pretty much 9 times outta 10, only time she isn't into it is when she's in a mood cause of drama shit.
Anyway, when doing erotic stuff together she always tells me that I turn her on quite a bit but not to the maximum, and I get super close to it. She doesn't have any specific fetishes, so it's basically up to me with what I do to get her going.
I've found out that she's into being dominated, and thrown around when things get frisky, she loves biting and roleplay sorta shit. So I try to be creative with that but I feel like there's a lot more I could do.
Basically today I mentioned to her that I wanna try turning her on to the max, she was up to do it but we only got quarter way till her Dad got here.
We're continuing tomorrow when she comes to my place, now my question to you guys is:
Do you guys have any suggestions on what I could do to turn this girl on with the type of shit she likes in mind? I can't fuck her yet cause she's not up for that (tells me we gotta wait a year) but things like fingering and shit are all good.
Thanks boiis

The idea that turn-on can be rated in a linear fashion from 0 to 10 is fascinating.
I always thought it was more open ended, like the Richter scale for earthquakes, so that there is no such thing as maximum turn-on. Ideas?

I've lost my mojo. I used to have no problem flirting etc, now i'm like some kind spastic who cant swim. I'm not ugly, I've had girls call me gorgeous, i even had one of the most attractive girls at my school tell me to msg her if i ever wanted to get together and fuck, but she had a boyfriend and that's not how i roll. Everyone always asks me why i'm single or why i'm not out picking up girls and i don't know what to say. I'm 21 this is my prime and i'm a little worried i'm broken or something. My standards are not ridiculously high, trust me there are times when i'm so horny that i would go for an ugly overweight girl and i have tried on tinder, even then it doesn't work out, they always end up ghosting. I don't really have any opportunities to meet any girls either, my friends don't want to go out clubbing and i don't feel like going solo, and my work is a sausage fest and all our customers are old people.
The only thing i can think of as the cause is years ago when i was still fairly young a girl broke my heart, we split up then days later she slept with her ex. Ever since this moment i have lost my mojo with girls. I'm not sure if this event is the cause but for some reason ever since then i have been at a complete loss with girls.

i feel a similar feel, anon, at the age of 30. the difference is, i don't really try anymore. i have a small circle of friends and i just associate with the the people that they know. other than that, i don't go out of my way to talk to girls, the only time i have conversations is if they approach me first.

Ok guys, I'm 21/m and have been getting to know a girl who is 3 months away from turning 18. I'm not comfortable asking her out yet, even though its been acknowleged that there are mutual feelings due to her age. We're also both less than 6 months removed from toxic relationships (for different reasons but we've bonded a bit over it). Do I pursue her when she's 18, let her live her young adult life and maybe come back to it down the track, or completely let it be?

I'm also 21 and just fucked a 17yr old two days ago. Trying to find something serious with an 18yr old doesn't seem prudent. Have fun and enjoy her but know what you're getting into. If you really do want something serious express this but even if she agrees, proceed with caution.
