A few months ago I bragged to a few people at a bar about being an amateur photographer, I showed them some pretty basic pictures I took recently and they were impressed (these were basically point and shoots). Over the past week we've chatted a bit and they want me to do a photo shoot tomorrow with them. Truth is I am extremely amateur photographer, as in I know only the very very basics of photography, I've never done a photoshoot before. I don't really know shit about photography beyond how the rule of thirds and some other elementary things. Well fuck. What should I do. Just continue the con and take the pictures tomorrow, let them know I am not as skilled as they are assuming. Any tips, technics to seem like a professional photographer?
>>17005778
do some things to stand out i guess, do some abstract photographs something original
If you use a tripod and set up a light or two, you'll seem like a pro. Most people don't know shit, and it's not exactly rocket science even at a more professional level
>>17005792
We're not going to be doing anything too abstract from the sounds of it. The plan is to do the photoshoot at the beach.
I fell in love with and asked out this feminist girl who apparently has a boyfriend now, that is as sweet as I am. I got the help of the internet that doesn't know my situation and if I would have just been myself she would've said yes or at least talked with me more. It's been 3 months of no contact (which I suspect she is avoiding me) and she always looks away when I am around her.
Once again, I fell IN LOVE with her. I can't stop thinking of her. AND IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS. I'm fucking graduating soon and if I can't stop thinking of her this will go on for a long time, and I really want to fucking fix this issue, because really, I'm not myself anymore.
Key points:
>That's why I asked you what your name was in the first place haha
>Oh alright. Bummer. See ya!
The fuck is wrong with you. What are you even talking about.
>>17005770
I asked her out in a way that may be considered offensive before I discovered she is supports feminism, so there's a possibility that she thinks i'm just a fat slob that's just trying to 'get in'. If I didn't use the internets advice on something and saying something THROUGH A SCRIPT, I would've had a much better experience, without the regret.
I just want to hear what other people have to say because I want to move on
Can you return something opened to Amazon for a full refund? Anyone do this?
I checked their policy and I can't find any information saying you can't (within 30 days) unless you're buying from a seller which doesn't allow it.
I just want to buy a mic and use it for 2 weeks then return it, but it seems too easy. Anyone have experience with this?
>>17005748
its easier to keep it and say your package never came, and most of the time if you're lucky they will refund you
>>17005748
Yes, you can do that. Especially if it's an amazon seller. Their customer service is really great. They know that if they take a loss on this and help you out, you're more likely to buy more from them in the long run.
Also, the way the return works is they process the payment as soon as the tracking label they send you is scanned. So, you put the return label on the package, UPS scans it and they send the money back to you before the package gets to their warehouse. I've sent shit back in terrible condition and said it was defective, and they've never asked questions or done anything. One time I got them to refund me for something I got to keep. I ordered a paddle for a trip, and I paid for faster shipping and it got lost and it wasn't there in time for the trip, so I got them to refund it to me before it got to me, and then I just kept it. They never contacted me back. I basically buy everything expect for groceries on amazon, so they've done me a few solids.

It was a kayak paddle before anyone gets weird
So how do I get over my breakup? A little backstory, the last two years of my life had been hell. I hated myself, thought of killing myself everyday, and accomplished nothing and basically stayed in bed everyday. Then a friend of my introduced me to one of her friends, around October. We hit it off and started to do things together. I felt happy, I started getting out of bed, doing things I said I was going to do a year ago, and started to live my life. Then out of the blue she broke up with me. This was three weeks ago. The day she did I tried to OD on my antidepressants. Nothing much happened, except my pupils expanded to shit and my heart rate increased. I told my gf about it and she took pity on me and explained a few more things about why she broke up. She explained that she wasn't happy with how things were going and there was nothing I can do to fix it. She felt stressed out. Her mom died a year ago, so I assume that contributed to it. I talked to her again last night, asking if there is any possible way we could fix things. She said no. For the past three weeks I've sat in bed, and done nothing. I don't have anyone to confide in or make me happy. The only other person who did was the friend who introduced us, but she has brain cancer and is going through extensive chemo. Anytime I try to go outside, and try to find something else, I think of my gf and how we'll never be together and how she'll find someone else, and I crawl back into bed. What do I do to get over this, or should I take a bath with a toaster?
you entered into a relationship at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons. bad idea.
you should be happy being alone before dating someone. otherwise, they will just fill your void and if they go, you are back to square 1. or even worse, as you now have to deal with everything associated with a breakup.
so your options are either live your life continually seeking relationships that might not be the best for you, but they make your life bearable. or you can try and learn to be alone. find new friends, get a hobby, meditate, bla bla bla
look, the productive guy who got out of bed and got shit done is still you. being with another person shouldnt define who you are.
>>17005803
But I can't find anything that makes me happy. The only thing I haven't done is meditating.
>>17005741
You need to learn how to be alone, man. Fuck. I can't imagine living like this, being completely lost without a partner.
Why are men so shitty???
We just had a baby and things have been busier. He comes home today and is grumpy and goes straight to bed and says he is exhausted and just wants to sleep. Then he tells me, "something is missing in our relationship. I don't feel like we have enough time to be attracted to each other."
Are men just incapable of growing up and dealing with life?
>>17005737
Someone will fall for this b8
>>17005737
He has a point, but he shouldn't have had a kid.
Was the kid planned? Was the kid a mistake?
This is the reason I don't want to have a kid. Everyone I know is depressed, tired, and besides showing off occasional pictures of the kid, has nothing enriching in their life or any other interests anymore besides catching reruns of cartoons or Yo Gabba Gabba.
It sounds like you two need to work better on splitting time with the baby and yourselves so he's not as tired or grumpy, and accept that "just growing up and dealing with life" isn't an answer to it. It takes work on both sides.
>>17005737
Maybe you guys had a baby a bit too soon in the relationship? How long were you guys together before you had the child?
hi anons. im 23 now travelling south america and I have a terrible case of social anxiety. it got to the point im really difficult having conversations even with dudes, not talking about them girls. do you anons have any good advice for me to overcome this problem? tnx.
Just be yourself
>>17005676
just remember that no matter what happens here, you are going to leave in X amount of time and literally no one will remember you one day later. its like most of life, except at the end you will be in a completely different country so you literally have no reason to be scared of being socially awkward, assuming you arent dealing with cartel.
>>17005676
Remind yourself that you will probably never see any of these people ever again, that you have no need to impress them, and that you are only using them (as they are using you) for the moment's company.
That won't be wholly true, but it is fairly close to the truth, and realizing that will take some of the self-imposed pressure off.
My gf won't let me have a threesome. Even though I do everything else that bitch wants. What to do?
>>17005643
Dump
>>17005643
Offer to have a mmf threesome (if you aren't willing you can just fuck off because you're a hypocrite) and if she's okay with that and does it, then push the ffm threesome I suspect you want.
>>17005660
Bitch won't let me have any. She's asexual as fuck.
My ex cheated on me when she was drunk and kept apologizing and saying she would understand if I wanted to break up, and I was so mad that I did. Now I'm wondering if I should've given her a second chance because I still care for her a lot. What do?
she cheated on you. I don't think I would be able to get around that.
Nope, if you gave her another chance you'd just be falling further into cuckery
no trust left in the relationship
drunk isn't much of an excuse; not like she'll never be drunk again.
There's a girl in my class that I'm considering asking out.
the good
>She's cute and thin
>dresses like pic related (most girls in my uni wear sweats and north face)
>funny and smart
>very polite
the bad
>has green hair
>has 2 visible tattoos, a mouse and a coffee cup on her arm
What do you say? I don't want to get involved with a crazy girl. She seems cool but I don't know how big red flags those are.
Green hair is a big one
Are the tattoos good quality?
>>17005562
Oh let alone this crazy chick for others who can handle her dude. She's out of your league. Back to those "the north face" gal. And good luck.
not worth it bro.
So /adv/ I'm still a virgin and I don't meet any girl because I'm let's say not a sociable person but I'm not bad looking and go gym n that, just my personality must suck so what do? And I mean I don't wanna bang some ugly girl, I have the attributes for a not bad looking in shape girl lol but yeah what do
>>17005475
Go to social events/gatherings. They don't even have to be super social. I met my first girlfriend trough a book club.
Try not typing like a fucking 16 year old for starters.
Also the fact that you haven't gotten an attractive girl yet means you're overestimating yourself. My advice? Stop giving a shit about being a virgin and getting laid, that shit oozes off people like a fucking perfume
>>17005486
You know I didn't give a shit until everyone kept making it look like a bad thing so much, let's just say I have a small form of aspergers and im 18, so if it don't matter people then why does everyone make it look so bad
Should i be worried about this thing?
It's showed up on my body like 2 weeks already. It's itchy and a bit swollen. I had some more on my breast. One right on my boobs. Should i go to the doctor for a scan check?
No you should definitely just sit on it and ask an image board for medical advice
>>17005452
Hmm, need to see the ones on your boobs, just to be extra thorough
It doesn't really LOOK like anything serious. But if they all developed around the same time, and this is an unusual problem for you, then it can't be a bad idea to get it checked out
I'm a 20-something year old shitter whos been stuck in retail ever since he graduated high school, then dropped out of university. Stuck in Alberta, Canada, I really just wanna leave this province and go work in a different part of the country.
I found an entry level job listing for a position that's not asking for any previous experience in the field that I'd love to work in, but I'm worried about not excelling, and ending up jobless on a lease in Montreal, and its making me second guess the whole thing.
Should I go through with it? Are there any precautions I could take in just that scenario?
You want it don't you? Go and get it
Job market is shit in Canada. Go to Africa you have a chance there.
Don't self-sabotage. Go through with it. You have nothing to lose except for your old, shitty life.
Is it a red flag if a car's been on Craigslist for three weeks and hasn't been sold yet? The price seems pretty reasonable.
I drove it three weeks ago but decided not to buy it because the interior was so shit. Drove seemingly fine. I see that it's still not sold.
>>17005448
What difference does it make to you, you're not going to buy it anyway
Get a PPI. They're $100 max
>>17005476
It's one of my dream cars, and I didn't know I could find it at this price ($1500). But I wonder if there's something so horribly wrong with it that it's A) priced low and B) people still haven't bought it
I'M DONE I EITHER KILL MYSELF OR START MY LIFE FROM THIS POINT LIKE I SHOULD HAVE DONE LONG AGO. I DON'T WANT TO KILL MYSELF, TELL ME HOW TO PROCEED.
All I want to do is drink or get high whenever I'm not working. life is so dull, but it's the bed I've made so I'm not going to kill myself. Why do you feel they way you do?
What's wrong OP?
>>17005433
Therapy just go
I'm a 27 yr old dude, 6 months from 28. My last relationship was about 1 year ago.
I'm kind of losing confidence in finding someone to marry, have kids with.. I enjoy being alone, don't really enjoy going out. I feel it's too "late" now to experience the benefits of marriage. I want to know someone for at least 3+ years and I feel like time is running out.
I do most of my dating online, my hobbies simply don't yield prospects, friends are all married and barely do anything with me anymore. I find online dating isn't as dramatically bad as people portray it and have met some great women, but no one I would want to spend my life with.
I guess all I'm asking is, is there still hope in my 30's? I feel women in this age range are used up, with massive baggage with kids.
When I find someone, will everything just kind of work out? It seems as soon as the fights and nagging come into my relationship, they all are doomed to fail.
>>17005414
I wouldn't say the,woman are used up but most of them are probably going to have kids or just don't want them.
>>17005414
wheres the pic from? thats so scary
