Hey /adv/ help me weigh some pros and cons.

I had the old director of my college plays call me and offer me a job. She wants me to come with her and her husband to drive the service car while he runs across America. I'd be gone from April to September while he runs to San Francisco from Delaware. I'd get to see the country. I'd have all expenses payed for me and even earn $100 a week.

However this would mean leaving my job for that time, (I work at Gamestop as a 3rd keyholder,) but more importantly I'd also be leaving my band for that time. They're my best friends, and honestly the only people I care about in my social life. (inb4 I'm not promoting the group.) We just finished our EP and are opening for a national act in May. We have several other gigs to play soon too. I'd be welcomed back undoubtedly, but the time away would be hard.

I've also had a lot of signs that maybe this would be good for me. My ex-fiance recently started dating an old acquaintance of mine, and she always talked about leaving our town. Admittedly it's been weighing on my heart lately, and I was very close to leaving initially when we separated.
It's my birthday today too, I'm 22 now, and I find it strange that I'd receive that call on the eve of it. When I first tried out for the play that they were directing I didn't want to do it because it was out of my comfort zone, but I did it, and I really enjoyed it. Now I face this and wonder if leaving for a while might not be so bad. Also, here lately I've been on this kick saying "When faced with a decision: go with the one that will give you the best story to tell." This is a pretty good story to go back and tell.

I'm torn. What do you guys think?

100buxa week is dogshit dude. Also kinds sounds like you'll be "working" all day since you can't leave the car basically? Idk might be a cool experience to see the country but you better think about that at the reward and not the cash.
>>
>>16890171
You'd meet some cool people and maybe get laid, the band might replace you and it wouldn't be fair to kick the new guy out unless you specifically make sure they look for a replacement temporarily.

Think about all the lonely nights in cheap motels though. Maybe even just in the car? or sharing a room?
>>
It wouldn't be for money by any means. This couple are in their 60's, so more than likely they'll be taking care of themselves pretty well. My main job would be to drive. I'll rest when they rest, and eat when they eat. I don't see them not taking care of themselves.

Iike feel like the personality of woman is borring, I know its not some homogenistic group but still.

What do?
3 posts and 1 images submitted.

>>16890169

expose yourself to more women, specifically in interests groups. and when i mean expose i mean go meet, not flash your penisu.

also, figure out what aspect of the personality is boring and seek out a place where you might specifically find the antithesis (or at least a deviation) of that.
>>
>>16890169
If you see women as generally boring and you didn`t meet anyone interesting, then you`re either in a boring place or you`re the problem.

I've been thinking it over for almost a year now. How do I come out as trans? For starters, I'm a male that could never pass as a woman. I'm worried about what my friends and family might think. Just posting it here is nearly causing me an anxiety attack. Please help.

What makes you think you're trans
>>
>>16890159

the big question is, do you want to live a trans lifestyle? I'm gay, but i dont really enjoy the gay life style. so im closeted. and thats okay. you're friends and family do not need to know the details of your sex life.

if i ever met someone worth introducing to them, i would come out. but until then, why bother?

so in your case, you mention you dont pass. do you need to live as a woman in womans clothing and raising your voice (essentially faking everythign about yourself?) or can you pull a neo-chris-crocker and just continue your life as is but accept inside yourself that you are a woman, but that has nothing to do with you aesthetically?

if you feel you NEED to be out, test the waters first. dress up at home or whatever. go to a strange city over night and be trans there. see how you feel about it. is this what you want your whole life to be? lesser of two evils? etc.

then start with a friend and go from there.

but frankly i think most trans people aren't trans so much as they have a harder to explain disorder.

a not so pretty woman realizes shes not so pretty and kind of lets it end there. but trans mtf seem to be obsessed with being the prettiest most passing women of them all.

I just like the idea of being a girl. I don't enjoy being a stereotypical man. I'm never really comfortable around other men, and don't really feel like I can be myself. I've always felt great in the company of women; not really in a sexual sense, but like I can be myself and say what's on my mind. I like women's clothing, and I would love it if I could wear women's clothing every day out in the open.

I just feel like I'm living a lie. It's almost like I put on a mask every morning. I don't enjoy it.

Tomorrow I will be picking up one of these machines to deal with sleep apnea. My diagnosis is mild, but my lack of energy has been grinding on me for years and I'm really hoping this thing helps. I don't even care if it looks retarded, I just want results.

Anyone else here use one of these? What are your experiences with it? Did it work for you? How long did it take to start feeling better?

Same as others. Health>fashion. It helped my father a lot with insomnia. It also got to a point where he almost choked every night and this machine completely fixed that problem.
Clean it.

Before you post a question, check here to see if it's already been answered
Keep your questions short and sweet for more answers.
And please no derailing arguments.

Avoid asking these common questions:

>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
Some do, some don't. Our answers are not going to help you.

>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Think positive, and get over it by practising and exposing yourself to it.

>I like someone. What do I do?
Ask them out.

>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out.

>Where do I meet girls/guys?
Anywhere outside. Or online.

>Is my body part big/small enough?
>Am I short/tall enough?
Most likely

>Shaven, trimmed or full jungle?
Trimmed. Shaven is for fags, pornstars and faggy pornstars. Full jungle is for gorillas and 80s pornstars. When the shaver hits the hairs just right, the balls sing.

>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.

I suck at online dating. I've gotten a few dates and my standards aren't very high and I'm not ugly but beyond just the problem of not getting any replies at all, most girls who will talk to me quickly lose interest in the conversation and stop replying. How do I stop sucking at this

Women are shit at conversation. You need to pop little interesting tidbits into almost everything you say. A joke here, a question there, etc. It's fucking stupid. But that's what you gotta do to keep them on the line. Push to what you want to do pretty fast. If that's a date or whatever then get comfortable and ask.

Why do people ever get married?

I seriously doubt they magically change at any point.

>>16890033
Women get a billion messages a day on dating sites. Unless you have the body of a god and the life of a partying billionaire, you should just accept the fact that most women are not going to reply to you. Give your best shot with an opening message and move on to the next one, that's all you can do.

I've grown apart with my best friend. I used to be really lonely and she was my only one, but I've broadened my social circle and have more now. I've started spending less time with her, and I think it makes her feel bad since she doesn't have many others. I find her boring. What do I do?

>>16890030
OP, while I understand you can find your friend boring, you can just make up stuff you can talk about. If you're not the type who wants to do that, then you shouldn't be friends in the first place.

You sucking all you can get from her and then finding her boring is just cruel. Explain to her you want more content, and if she tries but can't tell you anything you'd like to hear, try asking questions yourself. "how was your day?"/"tell me about your day" can be a good start.

>>16890071
I have a hard time trying to understand friendship. Social construct to make it okay to depend on people from outside your family? Social construct used to establish status in a given hierarchy? Relationship between two people who can confide to one another? Something based on trust?

It's incredibly complex and I won't say someone is wrong by looking for people to satiate their boredom and calling them friends until they're no longer of use.

Best/most effective ways to get rid of facial, chest and back acne?
Mine is somewhat like the picture, but a bit worse. It's mostly the typical late-teens acne that a lot of people my age get, if that helps. What worked for you?
5 posts and 1 images submitted.

>>16889988
for primarily inflammatory acne (like pic related)
OTC: try benzoyl peroxide or salycylic acid first
prescip: erythromycin or doxycycline, if youre a girl birth control will be very effective
>>
drink more water and eat less sugar and carbs

moisturize after you clean your face. your body overcompensates with the oil when acne soaps dry it out.
>>
I used to have bacne and chest acne and all that. Honestly just take a shower every day, or atleast every other day. It seems like a hassle, because I used to just take one like once a week if that. Honestly it really helps, and get a basic body wash. There all pretty much the same thing. Also get a towel and you can only use the towel for 3 uses then you have to wash it again. You won't see good results untill about a month later, but it's worth it. Good luck OP

Comb out your pubes into a middle parting and draw a pair of eyes on the shaft with a sharpie. Name your dick and balls in a trio (ie: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids)
>>
You don't need to shave, but trim at least. Most chicks don't enjoy traversing a jungle to find a snake.

Get in shape, if even a bit. A fupa can hide inches of you dick. Also it blocks you from maximizing your piercing potential.

If you trim, try to shave your shaft, it makes giving bjs easier.

If you're uncut, wash under the skin. It only takes 39 secs to ensure you don't pack on the smegma. A cleaner dick is a more inviting dick. "Welcome to the curving tower of Piza" over "come, smell my fresh fromunda". Unless you're into that.

Very simple, likely you'd heard of them already. Cock maintenance is not very complex or hard.

Just started college. My grades could be better but my real issue is how I should be acting around others, given my age

I'm almost 26. I don't look it though and people have already assumed that I'm fresh out of high school. I've just gone with it.

Dating-wise, there are some girls I'm friendly with but they're just almost 19. I guess I find them attractive but I'm not sure if I should try.

Still live with family, stocking shelves at IGA and don't even have a driver's license.

It's not really a secret but I'm just not sure how to handle it once people know

well... IDK what's on your mind. Think, why do I do what you do. Do my family and friend are responsible of how I feel? Are they mean or they just don't know how they make me feel? It's all my fault? Do I have a way back to feel better?

I have two older brothers and a twin. The two older ones are both fuck ups who failed their gcses (one of which is 24 and never had a job) and my dad is an alcoholic. I really don't want to let down my mom and twin though which is why I don't want to drop out but I'm miserable here.
>>
>>16889954
So, the only ones whom worth the fight are your mother and twin. Do they support you?. Do you liked at first time your career? If you do what you do because of them, what's your real goal? take them far away where you can live happy? anything else? Keep in your mind what you are going to do, not just I wanna help my mother.

So, you have to analyse your thoughts and keep away from any adictive habit or substance, at least in your worst times. And a good therapy could be help homless or orphan, or something like that. It's not a answer for your problems, but a way to feel better, if you do well, people feel wel, if people feel well you feel well. We are social animals, so we need a good environment. You should keep in contact with a proffesional or if you don't have money, seek for a confidence worthy person, pastor, rabbi or just a kind person. If you want to feel better you have to be with the correct people. Asholes are not a good company

Hi, /adv/.

I'm a senior in college and have a part-time job working at a front desk of a non-profit arts center.

I just got an invitation to serve in the Peace Corps, leaving in July. I just sent in my stuff to get medically and legally cleared.

I work at my job for $9.75 an hour, usually 3 days a week. I've been there now for a couple of years, and it's not that bad -- but I really need the time to work on school. I can't work on homework there because somebody always comes up to talk to me or ask me questions about something. There's only like 5 of us on staff, so if something happens, they're the one I call. I rarely ever see my boss since I only really work on weekends, but whenever she is there, she is the most passive-aggressive and mean person I've ever met. I'm glad I don't have to deal with her that much, and generally like my co-workers.
I just generally waste my weekends, however, at this job sitting down and interacting with people I really don't care to interact with.

I have to write my senior thesis this semester, and I'm so fucking behind. I'm behind in all of my other classes, too. My professors know I'm juggling my job, their classes, volunteering and preparing to go to another country for 2 years. But I still feel really bad. I came into class today totally unprepared, and I feel like I'm just slacking off.

I've been thinking about just quitting my job so I can focus on getting this semester over with. I need to learn at least basic French before I leave to the country I'm going to serve in, and I need to brush up on agricultural skills.

I have money saved up and I am financially able to quit my job. I've listed out the pros and cons of quitting, and the only con of me quitting this job is if something happened where I couldn't serve in the Peace Corps.

Does anyone have any advice for this sort of situation? Or just better ways to manage my time or something?
