How do I convince my parents that university is a waste of time and money

they're afraid I won't get a job without a degree

Land a job.

>>17051687
Consider community college or some sort of vocational school if you don't already have some programming job or a full college scholarship lined up. It'll be hard finding a job with just a high school degree.
>>
>Self taught

Do you have any projects actually finished and published? Otherwise, it'll be very hard to convince others that your skills compare to someone who has done four years of university.

You also should make sure you're fairly active in the open source community. Good companies often look at Github contributions to evaluate programmers, especially those without a college degree.

Except he knew that sort of thing was going to happen back then.
We were not officially dating.
He didn't tell me that he objected to it and that I shouldn't do it. So at the time, it was very VERY grey.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do now.

I am super close friends with a group of 3 boys at my college. These boys love hanging out with me and think that I am physically attractive- but they don't "come on" to me.
In a way this has been great because I've been able to get to know them all very closely, but I think they're worried that if any of them make a move, they'll ruin the awesome dynamic we have going on.

Atleast- that's what I THINK is going on. None of these boys have had any sexual experience, so they're in that kinda awkward middle-school-y state where any intimacy is kinda scary to them.

What are some things I can do to test the waters without being too obvious? I have a crush on one of the boys and I want to end up in a relationship with him eventually. We've done certain borderline things like sharing a blanket while we watch a movie together, me bringing him food I know he likes when I go out, him offering to give me his jacket when I'm cold- but those are things I've also done platonically with my other guy friends.
What is the next step to making it subtlety less platonic?

You're going to ruin the friendship between them on some level possibly. Being a guy who has never had experience with woman, he's going to be new to love, always hang out with you, have to learn a ton of lessons and.. Man.. Ah whatever lol, I've seen it happen too many times
>>
>>17050240
Simple as it seems, the next logical step would be building physical intimacy. As a female you have leeway to do certain things guys can't generally do, like put your hand on his thigh when sitting and avidly talking, or grabbing his hand or the like. That's what I say would be the next logical step. All it takes is you holding their hand and looking them in the eye and in 5 seconds he'll be thinking about you for the next five hours.


And in the event he's too anxious to ever show signs of desire, which you're worried about, you'll have to be obnoxiously blatant and blunt, social skills are just that, skills, and their lack of experience especially in flirting will have to be accommodated for, by your extra effort.
>>
>>17050240
Options are as follows
A: pursue romantic relationship with
B: maintain friend status

Note: if you want romance and hold back, the friend option will wither and die anyway as you force eachother apart

A is likely best option, realize one way or another, shy of marriage: you're doomed to eventually stop talking to him

Recently my mom and I have been getting into arguments over something very petty; a poster. In my bedroom I have a poster or two featuring some lolicon. Today she told me I should take it down, and when I didn't want to it borke down into her crying and yelling at me. She went on about how it "makes her uncomfortable" and shes "worried for my mental health. Also she went about how I should be able to hide the posters once for our cousins coming over so I can seem nomal. That pissed me off....so apprently I'm the fuck up child or something ? Besides it my room, not her's.

The Prophet's first wife was much older than him and not a virgin, though she gave him nothing but love and devoted support when he thought he had gone insane after first receiving divine inspiration.

FAQ:

Avoid asking these common questions:
>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?
Think positive, and 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.

>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. Stop overthinking it.
Alternative answer: we don't fucking know.

>XYZ happened. Did I fuck it up with this guy/girl?
Maybe, maybe not. We're not in their head, we don't 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>

>That one guy who keeps asking about cuddling in platonic friendships.
No one wants to cuddle you. Stop asking.

Nope.

There's no age limit on the V Card. We have cultural expectations that push us toward a specific age, but you're living your own life. Don't let it be dictated by some inane schedule of life accomplishments.
>>
Can't? Yes. Don't? No.

>>17042733
I can vouch for this. I didn't really start appreciating all that I have done and all that I have been through until very recently. And I don't regret having spent so much time absorbed in my passions and my future, that I haven't been in any meaningful relationship for many years now. I don't think I will die alone and unloved, but I have a better understanding of what I want, so "settling" on the first pretty girl hasn't been a real option for me. Cheesy as it sounds, I'm one of those fuckers who waits around for the right girl. She does not have to be a soul mate, but I have to feel a meaningful connection with her, which no woman I've met has been able to maintain. I know men are pressured to do all the heavy lifting in a relationship, but I've stood my ground and refused to share myself with women who don't actually respect or care about me. If I die a virgin because of that, then so be it.

Why is this so looked down on?

I have a mediocre career. I got my education, i work, i love doing my job and there are a lot of ways to go even further with this (i work in special needs education and care, you can go up with that pretty far and earn very good money).

But i realize that the thing i love most about my job is looking after the kids. All my life, what i really wanted is devote my heart to having a family, provide them with a loving and nurturing home.
I really dig traditional gender roles. But i feel like people think that it's a bad choice to just be a "housewife and mom". That it's the sign of a lazy girl with no ambitions and goals in life. One who seeks an easy way out, just to sit on her husbands pockets for the rest of her life. Why is this? Why is it not "good enough" to be a mom and wife? I mean, obviously i would go the extra mile since this is my JOB.
I will still do it, no matter what everyone thinks of me, but i would really like to know why this is not acceptable anymore?

what advice are you looking for exactly?
>>
Because a lot of stay at home wifes are garbage, in that they stay at home all day, barely take care of the household, and are honestly glorified neets.

That's not to say you can't be a quality housewife that stays productive, but its kind of hard to take seriously unless you guys already have some young children. Then once they get older into their teens you start slipping back into glorified neet territory.

If you're willing to go the extra mile, hey more power to you. A lot of them if not most don't however.
>>
>>17046570
I'd like advice on how to avoid being a lazy airheaded housewife.

>>17046571
I've never seen it that way, but it makes absolute sense. Glorified neets...
Ofc, i would still work until there are kids! And i think i would take it up again when they are older again. Good thing about my job is that there is a whole lot of part time working and it doesn't matter too much if you have a few years away from it.

What would that "extra mile" consist of for you?

For me it would include stuff like actually doing activities with the kids, making sure that the house is spotless, that errands are run and bills are paid, that there's good food on the table every day, that i use the time i have to look after myself and not, yknow "get fat and ugly". Basically, i'd do everything i can so my husband would be able to focus on his work/career and be able to come home to a beautiful home, filled with happy kids, yummy food and a lovely wife. If the kids get older and i find that i can't use all my time in an usefull and productive way i'd take up work again or do some volunteering for a good cause.

Reposting this since I didn't realize the old thread hit the bump limit. Just giving an update on the girl I met at the Smash 4 tournament.

So update on this. We're talking and things are going well. One of my friends is helping me out. She didn't respond for an hour and he told me to wait the same time so I don't look desperate or like I was waiting for her to respond. I think this is going well. Later on, I'm going to ask her to hang out.

Reposting from previous thread since it hit bump limit.

Girl I'm currently with is pretty bad when it comes to responding to messages.

If she's currently online or waiting for a text from me (for example when we're going out that day), then she answers very fast. If neither case is true, then shepretty much doesn't answer at all, no matter how much time passes, until I write her when she's online. This makes me kind of angry, because when I do, I feel like one of those needy creeps who double- or triple-text when girls don't answer them.

How do I tell her about my concerns without sounding needy?

This is a bit of an odd situation.
Ive been in love with my best friend for like 7 years strong and nothings really changed there. The thing about a year ago I started hearing rumors of her sexual experimentation from her roomies. Hearing about the woman you love being a slut is devastating. So I killed all emotions I had for her and distanced myself from her.
About 3 months ago she started hinting that she wanted to spend more time together and has been throwing signs that maybe there was something between us. Then shit blew up and she basically begged me to go out with her and I didnt know what to say. So I just said Im not sure we are compatible and awkwardly ran away.
My feeling for this girl hasnt really changed. But its kinda like the girl I loved and her arent the same. The one I loved was pure and this one is more of a used goods impression I get from her. I know the girl I love doesnt exist, but this girl is awfully similar except I hate her past.
How do others deal with this.

Honestly, think about it this way. If you slept around with a bunch of girls and then fell in love with an old friend and then found out that they don't like you back because you're a 'slut' and 'used food's, how would you feel about it? You can't change shit bout the past, dude, and you can't give people second chances if the past is all you think about

And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when men revile you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be very glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in this manner they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

I have christianity's morals but not it's beliefs.
I understand the bible and the theory behind it. For example,. atheists always ask: "If god really loved you, why would he send you to hell?"
The answer is that he doesn't, you put yourself there by being an awful person, which is parenting on his part.

But the more I understand and the more I digested the theory that made sense, the stupider I realized this had become.
Full atheist now.

Christians don't bother me unless they're trying to fuck around with the political landscape. Which they are. Moderate christians almost never seem to admit this.
Christians and Evangelicals do their part to reduce our civil rights and try to get rid of the 1st amendment by connecting the US government to religion.

A cute christian girl who I loved very much hurt me very badly and I still cry over it.
Where was your god during that?

Adam was a man born in perfect circumstances

Adam was supernaturally created and fashioned by God

Adam walked with God, he talked with God

Yet in spite of all of this, Adam disobeyed God, and was cast out of the Garden

In the beginning, all of mankind knew God. Yet they still chose to sin

Overtime, mankind devolved into sin and grew further away from God

Adam wasn't the first to sin, it was Satan. The devil and a third of the angels were cast out of the third heaven and they now reside in the second heaven where they will be until judgment

God rejected Cain's half-hearted sacrifice and as a result Cain's countenance fell, The LORD said to Cain, "If you do well, shall you not be accepted? But if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. It desires to dominate you, but you must rule over it" (Genesis 4:7). Yet Cain still chose to disobey God and slew his brother Abel out of jealousy and hatred

I am sorry to hear what the girl did to you. However, the Bible says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). This includes Christians. Nobody is perfect. In fact, many so-called christians are worse off than non-believers due to the heavy spiritual attack they face from the devil. Forgiveness is an important part of denying yourself, picking up the cross, and following Jesus

Pseudo girlfriend pseudo cheated on me. Roommates had to be kicked out, Lost my job, got a shitter job and lost that too. Despaired for like two months.
Tried to kill myself and failed.
Tried to kill myself again and got interrupted and then decided to work on myself and it seems to be slowly coming together. Therapists and social workers just depress me further. Maybe next week will be the week things get better for me or maybe I'm further punishing myself and need to die sooner then later. Can't quite make up my mind.

Men of /adv/,

In your personal experience how important is having a crew/squad/tribe?

I'm not talking about just friends, people you hang it with, I'm talking about men who you're actively doing things with. Like frequently working on projects together, going to the gym, etc.

I feel that this dynamic is largely absent in 2016 America, but it would be hugely beneficial for self-development.

Thoughts?

I got a crew of about 7 friends, 2 of which Im really close with.

I would say it's extremely important and beneficial. It boosts your self confidence. Allows you to see your own faults and deal with them. Gives you a sense of belonging. Not to mention it gives you funny stories to tell.
>>
it's important. you just have to be able to find that balance where you don't let them distract you from being successful, or better yet, elevate each other to be better.

my childhood crew disbanded, and my college crew lives too far away to actually be a crew anymore.

now i don't have a crew and feel worse off desu.
>>
>>17045043
your question is confusing? your mates who you hang with and talk shit with ARE your crew... no not all of you will want to do the same thing together. and or some of your friends may not like hanging with each other. but thats cool, and its not just lacking in america: its everywhere. blame your feminist movement and the rise of the SJW females. there is no male empowerment anywhere. if you want male empowerment go join the big buddy programme and mentor a kid who has no father and has no one to hang with.

I'm going to kill myself tonight. How can I get charcoal burning (probably in a disposable bbq) in an enclosed space while minimizing the risk of it setting the surroundings on fire?

I'm not sure how likely it is to scorch the ceiling, etc, but as long as the building doesn't burn down it should be fine. And once the flames have died down, will it be safe to place it in an even more enclosed space so long as there are no flammable fabrics, etc?

Pic related, can't afford or wait for one.
