How do I 'be myself' when talking to girls?

This is the advice people always give me but I have no idea how to follow through with it.

I'm 26, tall, average build, pretty good looking face. I make good money and I'm funny- that's the attribute I typically lean on.

For years there's been a running joke among friends, acquaintances and coworkers, that I date the lowest on the totem pole. I won't lie, I think I find a wider chunk of the population more adorable than most. There's very few men that I find unfuckabley unattractive, and even that's malleable if I spend enough time around them. If they're douchey though, that kills whatever chance they may have had.

I was watching Always Sunny and said I wish Charlie was real, and my best friend said "Jesus, you even like the most pathetic FICTIONAL characters." And it's true! The sadsacks, and the chubby boys, the retarded and well-meaning, the broke, the balding. I remember one of my boyfriend's buddies pulled me aside when we first started dating and said "you're... really dating him? You really DO like him right? Like you're not fuckin around?"

All the jokes don't bother me. But my question- is it really THAT uncommon/weird??

Suppose, hypothetically, as a small thought experiment, that you were in fact a sadist. Not in the way that the BDSM community actually means, but that your sexuality hinges largely upon causing harm to others and that there is nothing safe, sane, nor consensual about it because ssn doesn't quite tickle your fancy. It is, to you, akin to playing house instead of being a home owner. Suppose further that as a consequence of this sadism clashing with your superego you opted to live in near celibacy, save short and controlled dalliances with your preferred sexual partners, but that you found these to be unsatisfying because they lacked your, ah, preferred flavor palate of sexual enjoyment. So you return to a sort of enforced celibacy which, in retrospect, probably did a great deal to contribute to the sort of repressive habits that created your unusual characteristic in the first place.

Now you're an adult and have a problem: you can't stave off your own sexuality forever. Nor do you particularly wish to. It's simply gotten to the point where you wish to have fun, but you also want to retain your humanity. How does one strike a balance between the satisfaction of one's own bestial nature and one's need to live decently? How does one find that razor's edge upon which to perch and remain there? On the one side is self-righteous suicide, and the other monstrosity, and in the middle is perhaps civilization.

So while I ask of you a specific question, perhaps the line of query can be asked more broadly: how does one find internal balance?

Someone posted a bad thing on /int/, you can probably guess what. I opened it before realizing what it was in Chrome. I didn't download it, you know on vanilla 4chan you click the image and it blows up full scale?

How do I make sure any trace of it is gone? I don't want to go to jail.

My girlfriend broke up with me a few hours ago, now I feel like complete utter garbage. I honestly feel like dying. She saw that I still texted my ex, but I can't help it. My ex is the mother of my child so I talk to her to keep in touch with my daughter. Now I don't know what to do. Any thoughts?

I'm in my second term of my programming course and I'm already starting to struggle. First term we just learned basic stuff on Java and that was easy. However, this term, while we're still learning Java and it's still really easy, we also starting learning c/c++ and I'm struggling so much more with it.

I know it's supposed to be a harder language to learn, but it seems like every assignment we get I get stuck and need help like ten billion times. I feel like I'm not picking the content up as quickly as I should be and it has be really scared because what if I just... don't get it.

This has got me feeling really anxious about my program, and about my future in general. Please help.

Matched with a girl on tinder... I never match with anyone this hot... I'm scared that she's fake. It says she is 1182km away but she says she's in Tokyo (where I am)... I jokingly asked if she wants to go for a drink. She said 7pm would be good for her tonight... I don't know if this is actually catfish or not...

Pic related, it's the girl

>there's a woman where I work
>we cross paths regularly whenever I have to turn in paperwork
>we make small chit-chat occasionally and she seems really polite
>today she asks why I don't have a girlfriend
>I tell her because all the women my age are single mothers
>she nods and goes back to her computer
>about an hour later I realize that she is a single mother

How can I apologize to her without taking back what I said? I really do find single mothers absolutely repulsive and I would never date one, but I do feel kind of sorry that I burned her. Is there even a way I can apologize to her or should I just start ignoring her forever now?

Are there any single mothers here who can tell me how they'd want an apology to sound like?

Would like to talk to and hear from someone who has experiences dating loners, preferably girls not guys.

Story
Im 19 and there's this mexican guy (he's Americanized tho and doesn't know spanish) that comes to my job (grocery store) who's 25. Every time i see him he looks sad and mad and has a serious expression all the time he's walking around the store shopping. He shops frequently (usually 3 times a week). First time i talked to him he seemed to not want to talk but eventually we've actually had good conversations when he's relaxed and he's really cute and dorky and i wouldn't say he's funny but he says things that make me laugh. For the last 3 months Iv always tried flirting with him to show him im interested but he hasn't replied back until recently. Yesterday he's asked what my race was because he was curious (i just said im white and dont know) and it ended up with him complimenting me saying i had blue eyes and saying i had cute light skin. I thought the "light skin" part was weird but i was blushing from the blue eye part, he then said i was skinny like a model and could probably do runway if i wanted

That part i thought was weird and he picked up on it and got embarrassed and shy and started apologizing. I kinda liked him and i thought it was a good opportunity since so i asked him out for some coffee together since i dont think he'd ever ask me out and i know he likes me. He got really nervous and started blushing and he was even shaking when i gave him my number.


But the thing is iv never dated a loner like him before, all my co-workers think he's a serial killer because he's always mad "i saw him almost get into a fight with another customer who tried pick pocketing him". So i does anyone have any experiences dating a loner, id like to know what to expect as well as some advice if i end up liking this guy and things get serious.

I bought a pretty nice webcam the other day for reasons. Later that day I tried jerking off in front of it on Omegle just for the sake of trying and I fucking loved it. I literally spent 5 hours or so on Omegle.

I'm worried of this, tho. I mean, we all do something beyond the line once and then but I have my webcam with me all day.

Am I a weirdo for doing this?

The neighbours might find out, I have my pc next to a window. Should I just stop?

Is this negative to my dick? I've never been with my dick up 5 hours...

What are the best sites other than Omegle and Chatroulette and best programs to frap everything?

So usually I don't resort to posting on /adv/ and wallowing on self-pity, but I'm sick and tired of everything happening to me. Lately, I haven't spent a week without something happening to me. I partially tore and retore my ankle ligaments twice, got extremly sick and now I've this weird sensation going on in my eye. I do not believe in coincedences, but the fact that everything seems to happen to me is quite honestly terrifying. On top of that, I've had a myriad of health issues in the past couple of years. I tore my ACL+meniscus, had Bell's Palsy, a mild concussion, etc. I am a decent person, for IN have never done anything to anyone nor wished said person bad. The fact that I'm getting sick on a weekly basis is being incredibly disruptive towards my studies, for I've had to miss quite a lot of lectures/seminars has made me painfully aware of the situation I'm in. I just want to curl in a ball and cry.

Should I try to date an ugly girl? Hi 21 yrs old virgin, I am already looking for a very long time for a girlfriend but my standards are very high and girls I tried to hit on didnt like me in the end but at the same time I know that less perfect girls would have dated me. Anons who did chose that path is it good? Lowering your standards dramatically?
