There's no aspect of broadcast journalism that interests you? Like directing, or writing, or something technical like editing or camera work?

I love to write. Right now I work for a small gaming website writing up articles if I get some free time. Working for a place like IGN or GameSpot or writing for men's health would be my dream jobs, but I imagine the possibility of that to be pretty small. Making videos is enjoyable too, but, at least according to my main professor I'm god awful at it. I might be letting this professor get to me a bit because he harasses me constantly and tell a me I'll never find work, but all the same. I think I like to write and make videos about stuff I like, but standard news beats feel dreadful to me. I guess I'm asking for advice on work prospects (if any) for a person with a broadcast journo degree outside of broadcast journalism

If you hate it so much, why not change majors?

Our aniversery is next Thursday and is still haven't gotten anything yet rip

If his response is "buy me memes" you got a neat little bag of options to pick from.

A) He doesn't actually care what you give him, if you end up giving him anything.
B) He's a meme-spouting chucklefuck, who wants homemade captions and whatnot.
C) He's a hot blend of A and B.

Considering your question is all the context I have (and, quite frankly, all I need aswell), I'm guessing he's a prime time shitposter, who really just want to spend time with his SO.

Get him some dumb captions that reminds him of the good parts of your relationship, even if it ends up getting cringe inducing. It shows you care.

>>16982428
he obviously wants you to cuck him.
So, time to get some well doted african american to help you in the process.

>wanting to stop

Do you want to stop being a man as well?

>>16982183
No, just cutting it down as I said in the OP. I literally jerked off so brutally(and many times) once that I ripped the skin on my cock.

>>16982181
In the same boat, I feel you. I think having a girl would definitely help, ofc that's easier said than done

>>16982153
Some earbuds don't fit in my ears.

>>16982159
So?

>>16982153
From my experience, yeah, people can hear what you're listening to with earbuds. Since there's no seal between your ear canal and the speaker, the sound just leaks out, but since the in ears form a batter seal, less sound escapes.

Cont.

We walked up a floor and then another. I said "isn't your class on the last floor?" And she just said yes and kept walking. When we got to the top floor, she started telling me how she felt. She regrets starting a thing with my friend because she still likes me and likes me more every day (so same situation as me) and she said she doesn't know what to do. I kinda consoled her and she wrapped her arms around me and I just held her. We started to get really close and looked into each other's eyes a lot, at this point I knew what was gonna happen. We started making out, and then I pulled away. Both our hearts are racing at this point. She says she should go to class but she also says she's waited so long to kiss me. I told her we should talk so we moved to a backroom where we could be alone. As we walked I started to tell her I wanted to talk but we stared at each other's eyes again and just began kissing again. I knew it was wrong but it felt so right (cliché, right?) we heard someone and stopped, and at that point she said I really have to go and walked away quickly. My heart was still racing. I texted her and we agreed not to say a word to anyone about it.
I should add that my best friend hasn't been all that great as of late, he's developed an ego and isn't the person I once knew. This is also his first girlfriend so that doesn't help.


So now I need advice. I really, really like this girl and the past couple of months I've been miserable, especially seeing them together. But I've stayed passive until now. At the same time, despite how my friend has been acting and the fact that he pretty much dicked me by starting a thing with her right after me, I feel like he's still my bro and I can't do this to him. I don't want to cheat but I want her to break up with him so we can be together, essentially doing what he did to me, but putting him in the position I've been in which I know obviously isn't fun. Idk what to do, never been on /adv/ before. Any input?

>>16982115
>>16982122
Faggot. You already broke the bro code. Just Fuck her if you want. Just know that you are the sun of the planet and never deserve a close friend.

>>16982122
talk to you friend like an adult. find out how he feels. if he says leave it, then you leave it. if he says you can have her, then have her.

you could have said all that without the crappy erotica.

i've been there, and i think some girls like to work there way through groups. they get off on this shit. she might just drop you for another guy.

Shit forgot the subject!

Random hot girl bump.

You're 28, dude.

I'd expect this shit from some edgy 18 y/o but come the fuck on.

Hey, future me. How are you doing?

I never understood the point of saving porn once I get off to it I never care for it again or go back to it stop watching porn get a real girl only reason to save porn really is if youre going have no internet access for a long time

>saving porn on your computer

What is this? The early 2000s.

I'd say no, I have like 15GB of porn and I still keep looking for more most of the time because I don't want to watch the same videos. If you find some amazing vid/pic that always makes you cum though you might as well save it.

>how do i handle being lonely

the bobcat teaches us to be alone without being lonely.

>i see beautiful women
>it hurts not being able to look at them

you CAN look at them. you literally do.

>i wouldnt even consider myself unattractive
>I HEAR IM A 7/10

said literally every single OP of this exact thread. post a picture of yourself and lets see what you are working with. if you dont post it there is nothing we can do to help you.

>i cant function properly becuase im single

or perhaps you are single beacuse you can't function properly. as in, by living a normal cofortable and enjoyable life while being single. do this and you will likely find a special lady.

>what should i do to not be lonely?

do the things you love. have creative hobbies that take up your spare time, but also make an effort to go out of the house at least twice a week to socialize. you can do this by purusing hobby shops, or even attending events form those hobby shops, or going to meetup.com and finding groups that line up with your interests.

no matter how introverted you claim your hobby is, there are always people who at least want to sit around and talk about it.

you are unfortunately a funny looking guy. you will never be rolling in the pussy. but that doesnt mean you cant have a fairly regular dating life.

meet alfred enoch, your new role model. he is the star of 'how to get away with murder' and the 'oddly cute for a skinny black guy' guy.

that hairstyle is the hairstyle you need. you now wear button ups, and a tie, and a vest if you can work it. your casual wear should be thick stripes as well.

never let your hair get longer than that. no weird fades, no shaving certain parts. just this. keep it close.

do work out, and mayb e if you get to 'jacked' you can start to switch that up, but for now, close cropped and form fitting nice clothes will do you the most jutsice in terms of dating potential.

>lifting

good hobby as above, but that takes up an hour a day at max.

im talking a creative outlet to keep you busy in the evenings so you dont feel life is meaningless after school or work.

do you read comics? start drawing them. just a six issue series. nothing fancy, nothing big, doesnt havfe to be good. do it for fun, post it anonymously, and enjoy what little conversation it stirrs. when you finish all six issues reward yourself by goign to createspace and ordering a printed copy.

like video games? download rpgmaker and design one. then a better software. then a better one.

like movies? film a little one. like books? write one. like chairs? build one.

you get the idea. do something that has little rewards of a finished product.

people get bored doodling cuz theres no reason to doodle. a comic is its own reason to finish.

Bump 3

As long as you are not kn a relationship it is fine

Don't you think it's important where you from? I mean this isn't a international social rule, isn't it?

there's no decent girls in any age group

Fuck you onnabout?

>>16981677

>are there any decent single girls left in my age group

yes

>or is my life over

nope.

>>16981727
what the fuck are you, gay?

Have you tried considering the idea that humans are more complicated than you're giving them credit for and that the way people perceive you cannot be summed up by an ideology as thin, generic, and black & white as the 'pills' you're describing?

Nah what am I saying, you're posting frogs.

>>16981669
Iron pill == looks matter + confidence matters == exercise more

>>16981685
Yes, humans are complicated, but you can draw conclusion from most humans seeing their behaviour. Statistics about people generally show a gaussian distribution, not uniform.

I don't like frogs at all, just thought this one suited the thread well.
>>16981700
Do you think a jacked 5 can really compete with a skinny natural 7.5?

>>16981662
How many application did you submited? The job market is very tight right now, so it's not unusual to have to sent around more than 200 a month to have a chance. You also have to be very mobile and ready to drive one hour every morning, and not only apply to firms in a close radius.

It's very hard to know what's wrong if you don't have a lot of data. At the first look, your resume is okay so you might do blunder on the interview. Are you dressing well? Are you able to talk about yourself and emphaze your qualities?

Anyway, don't give up and send more application. One will get through, it's statistical.

>>16981684
13+. I right down who I sent apps to, that way when I am done with as many apps as I can possibly send, Ill give them a call. Plus I am still applying to alot of places so the number will be bigger.

I do not have a car so I have to apply to places that are like within a 5 mile radius, although recently my friends assured me that if I need a ride they're more than happy to do so until my car is fixed so there is that.

As far as dressing for interviews, I would put on somethings that's a little above casual. Nothing over the top like tuxedos but something like nice looking jeans and a collared shirt. Gray or black collared shirt.

See a therapist?

This may help, as well: http://www.adaa.org/tips-manage-anxiety-and-stress

The simple answer is find the root of your anxiety and resolve it. The hard part is resolving it.

>>16981631
I heard that some social anxiety therapy can be uncomfortable in the sense of making you talk with a group of people. I don't know if I could do this.

OP, you probably said something during the date that put her off.
Doesnt mean you aren't attractive, just means you said too much.

I replied in the other thread but I'll paste it here.

It happens. Just because it didn't work out doesn't mean your personality sucks of whatever. Just you guys didn't click. There was a guy who I found incredibly attractive and funny but once I talked to him one on one I realized we had nothing in common interest wise. I think he's still a really amazing person but sometimes the chemistry is just not there.

>be 18
>go on date with guy who's 28
>he's the most gorgeous thing in the universe
>he's full of interesting stories
>i can't stop talking about high school because i had literally just graduated
>establish some kind of awkward younger sibling vibe
>uncomfortable side hugs galore
>never text him again

Yeah, it just happens.

Self pity

im gonna say what i said in another thread.


i hate lasagna. its the worst. my mom makes what most people claim to be 'the best lasagna ever'. despite this i hate it. but my mom doesnt stop and think 'oh i must be a horrible cook' just cuz i dont like lasagna. she just serves it to people who actually like it.

you are lasagna OP.
go be the best lasagna you can be.


this is even more applicable to you because you are a faggot in a small town.

come visit hollywood and we'll cuddle.

>>16981601
I have been pitying myself for 22 years and it has not helped a bit.
