Are accelerated high school programs, and online classes and all that shit worth it/legit as fuck, or would it be better to just get a GED?

No man, do not get a GED they are useless now. Don't take my word for it guide that shit, employers have enough people looking for work that GEDs go into the trash right worth the dropouts.
It's fucked but the GED program is outdated shit. It used to be enough to get into a trade but now you'd just be a certified dropout.
And fur fuck sake don't listen to any middle aged tradesmen who went the GED route in the 90's or earlier, it's a totally different world now. Cliche though it sounds fucking stay in school man, unless you want to be pushing grocery carts it mowing lawns the rest of your life.
>>
It depends on where you want to go in life.
4 more years of homework, and you'll be set to go get a degree at college which if used properly can get you far.
Or
GED, grit your teeth through shitty jobs for 10 years, get a modest paying good job, and still dream about better things but too old to pursue.
>>
So assuming I don't go with GED stuff, at that point would it be better to straight up go back, or is all the online and fast shit viable?

RIght now I am in a situation where I don't really want to hang with a female friend anymore (im a guy). I guess in the beginning of the school year I thought she was pretty so I talked to her and got to know her.
But then after the first month I found her to be a very weak woman (emotionally) and idk if i am being selfish or what but I felt her to be using me for what I had to offer.
Ex. I had 50% off student meal plans and she ate every meal with me for almost one month and just walked off after each meal, only contacting me during the meal times.
Ex. always asking me for music theory help). I find our relationship not really offering me anything but just taking from me, (no pussy from her either)
Now I want her to leave me alone but she msgs me and I feel like a dick when trying to ignoring her asking "hey when are you coming back?! I havent seen you for long!"
Then she sends me a sad emoji and I feel like absolute shit for making her feel bad.
I just want her to leave me alone and not bother me with her woman bullshit and waste my time in which I get nothing in return. But when I return to school I will have to see her from classes and i really dont know what to say if she asks "why are you ignoring me?" without being rude.
What should I do guys?
Thanks

It seems like she has some issues with herself. I get the feeling that she is like this because she has a weak self-respect (I know some girls that are the same way and this is true for).
Maybe this is a stage where you have to make a choice to either stop trying for a relationship or to care for her so much that she'll change. Thing is she probably has no good friends that are supportive and give her strength and advice, only party animals or shit talkers.
You could be her true friend, but you'll have to honestly care for her. If she's manipulative after (and if) you try, then leave her

I'm a complete loser with women. My one and only ever relationship ended 2 years ago and I am just about now at the point where my sanity is finally returning. I am a cliche example of a Beta guy raised by a single woman, female teachers, grandmothers etc and have always had women up on a pedestal and am riddled with rejection/attachment issues. I am trying to change and feel a shift in my thinking. From what I can gather from my extensive research, and very limited experience, the following are the rules to live by concerning women:
1) Confidence, bordering on arrogance, and a genuine Don't. Give. A. Fuck attitude (total outcome independence) are what women are most attracted to (not withstanding genetic factors and financial status of course)
2) Never listen to a word a woman says, judge her by her actions
3) Nothing is more of a turn off to a woman than submissiveness. Being dominant is fundamental to attraction.
4) NEVER get emotional around a woman or reveal to them any weakness or personal problems, regardless of how incessantly they may encourage you to do so.
5) Given the right man, and the right circumstances, a woman will ALWAYS cheat and then rationalise it later.
6) Women are very often consciously unaware of what it is they actually want from a man and a relationship.
7) In a completely objective sense, women are pathological liars and manipulators by nature
8) Bitchiness, rudeness and other unacceptable behaviour is generally a test to see if you are dominant enough to have sex with her and is not always reflective of her true personality
9) Women want to be sexually dominated in a wild and rough manner, without exception
10) Money and "stability" are more important than sex and excitement once a woman decides she wants to settle down and have kids and married/settled women put out far less often than before.
What am I missing and what else can I learn about this strange breed?

Women are human beans just like you. Just treat them like men. Lieterally delude yourself into believing they have dicks and broad shoulders. It will do you a world of good. Those "rules" are only sending you deeper into the Labyrinth
>>
i think theory is good
but we have to keep in mind theory is just that, it will work in some situations and in some it won't
if you plan on getting as many womans as you can, then following these rules might be a good idea
but if you want a genuine relationship based on honesty, then the old cliche "be yourself" might be the best option
>>
>>16633758
Nice little worldview you constructed yourself there. Feel better yet? No? Well, maybe it's because this shit is neither correct nor helping.
Some of your points are indeed very valid, but you could easily replace 'women' with 'most people'. Making these statements about women in general is not just stupid, it is also wrong. There simply are not that many actual genetic gender differences between men and women, men differ more from men and women more from women than men differ from women.
Of course, our societies shape us and there are some typical patterns of behavior that you can find quite a lot in women (from my experience points 1, 8, 10). But even these don't apply to everyone, and if they do, they do so to a different extent for each person.
You can become a PUA dick and play games and exploit and have the shallow satisfaction of fucking stupid and crazy bitches, but why not focus on yourself and be happy with your life, and eventually run into a wonderful woman that will make you realize how mistaken you were?

I tried to get off of the antidepressants; I weened down like you are supposed to for three months, then went off them. One month was absolute hell from withdrawals. The next six months were absolutely horrible. I would leave work in the middle of the day and cry in my car and then come back. At one point I nearly killed myself.
The doctor told me I would be on these antidepressants for the rest of my life because my brain can no longer regular serotonin without the medicine, due to the long exposure since childhood. So I had to go back onto the meds.
Is it possible to erase a feeling?
I keep feeling lonely and I can't fathom these people who are just like "lol I have no interest in dating" because simply deciding to not care for love makes just as much sense to me as just spontaneously deciding to quit food and never feeling hungry again.
How do you stop wanting a goddamn hug?

That's a pretty good comparison actually.
You know how when you're doing something, and you're really into it, like really in the zone, and then you realize "shit, I've been so busy I haven't eaten in X hours"?
Same principle, just keep being busy with yourself.

Ok.
Anyway, depends on what you mean by "shit to do". I'm not talking about mundane tasks you do because they're your responsibility, I'm talking about something you can really dedicate yourself to. This kind of stuff won't draw you deeper into >tfw no gf, because you'll actually have your mind busy. Improving at something I was obsessed with was absolutely the best thing I could ever do for feeling better with myself, and that's what it's really all about.

I'm engaged. Wedding is in a few months.
I was the one who proposed and organised the entire thing. I love my partner, just don't really have a spark with them anymore.
Suddenly want to fuck someone else.
Fiance is relatively relaxed and realistic, not overly emotional, have discussed (somewhat jokingly) the idea of fucking other people before and it didn't cause an argument.
Question is - do I share this information with them and try and come to some agreement? Do I cancel the wedding? Do I fuck this other person and just keep it to myself? Help me.

So I have been through a lot as a child and I thought I was cured but now my Neurodermitis came back in a different form as my doctor told me. I have been trying out special creams that my doctor gave me and my diet has changed already since those days were it first appeared but in the last week it is only getting worse. Does anyone have experience with this, or does anyone know how to cure it?

I have this, psoriasis, it's on my scalp even. My hands I just try to keep lotioned a lot and I avoid washing them too often or dishes. I carry antibacterial around. Cold weather is usually when my hands get the worst. The only thing that ever cleared my hands was getting cortisone shots. A lot of them. And they burn! But over night my hands cleared. Ask your dermatologist if you want but it did come back. Count yourself lucky if that's it. I hate that my skin is so awful. And I'm a girl so I'm expected to have soft nice skin. It's autoimmune so really working with a doctor is your best bet. I'm hoping to start otezla this month.
Picture is my hands after the little bumps pop. Try gloves when you sleep and cortisone cream?
>>
>I have been trying out special creams that my doctor gave me
Found your problem.
Do a full organic/natural detox, diet and environment. In addition to the usual stuff, you definitely need to switch to castile soaps for hair and body, free and clear/sensitive skin/gentle or plant-based laundry detergent, and natural-base skin creams/lotions
Buy some lanolin to cover the worse parts as they heal. That looks painful.
>>
>>16633619
You people are actually the worst. You know what they call alternative treatments that actually work? Medicine.
Anybody whose first suggestion is 'go organic' shouldn't be taken seriously, OP.

We've been friends for over 5 years at least. We go way back to high school. Things started to get really sexual in the last year or so, but from his texts you could see that he did care about me...like asking me about what books I was reading, movies, shows, just life in general.
Last night he finally answered why he was distancing himself from me and why he was avoiding me. He told me that he liked my body a lot and that his main focus when he would talk to me was trying to get some. He said that I shouldn't talk to him or try to be friends with him because then he would just use me.
I feel so weird about this. Like wow, I'm hot enough for someone to want me like that, but at the same time, 5 years of friendship and the possibility of a relationship gone down the drain. And I don't even care if I ever have a romantic relationship with him. I do love him, but a friendship would be enough. But he's throwing that out entirely because he can't control his dick.
Any advice? What should I do? I don't want to lost him as a friend...but if he's saying these things...then I don't know.

It's gonna be tough, but I say drop him. I mean, he gets a few points for being real with you and taking himself out of the equation before anything happened, but still, you deserve better.

Yeah, I guess I have to. But still, five years of friendship just gone...just like that. It's depressing.

Sounds like he sees himself in the friendzone.
The only way for him to get over it is to have little to do with you until he moves on.
Its shit but its always going to happen when guys and girls are friends.

Is it appropriate to make a move before the end of a date?
Like, say you agreed to meet up in the afternoon and watch a movie in the evening or something, what would it be like if you made a move after an hour or two?
I'm asking because I don't want things to escalate to sex (yet), so I kind of want to keep it slow, but I really don't want to wait for the goodbye kiss either, since I fucked up on that on previous occasions.
It's not a first date btw. Sorry if I seem autistic, I'm inexperienced.

Well, I did fuck it up before, so I'm kind of trying not to rely on my shitty instincts too much here.
I'm confident she likes me, though.
Have accidentally fallen hard for a guy who is emotionally stunted, a liability and essentially 4chan personified. Though, I think he is simply wonderful. We have extremely different lives but have a good connection and have known each other for a considerable amount of time.
I don't want to fix him, I just want to try and be with him. But how do I deal with the fact that we clearly have very different values and priorities?
I am very affectionate, social, have a very settled and "grown up" life. He is very reserved, quite indifferent at times and lives somewhat of a chaotic lifestyle. Will sometimes just block himself off for a while and we won't talk, which causes me to doubt things a bit.
I don't really want to embark on this if it's doomed from the start but I've waited so long for this that I'm reluctant to walk away.
Any advice would be appreciated, I'm a bit tired of going over it in my head because it's making me feel incredibly pathetic.

Go for it' do not let him become a phantom pain to forever and always torment you.
Go, whatever happens, I'm sure he's a good and decent man in the end.
The world needs more good and decent men to take care of all the lonely and frightened women.
Love is an inferno, and we are by fire made cinders and ashes in the end.

Yesterday my girlfriend and I lost our virginity to eachother. I had difficulties getting hard but I managed to and even if it hurt a bit for her, we had a great time.
We used a condom and everything, and she finished me blowing me, spilling some semen at bed. The thing is that I touched it, and after some time I fingered her with the same hand, so she texted me worried about being pregnant because of it last night. I would say my hand was dry when I fingered her, but I cant be sure. She immediately bought and took a morning-after pill I offered to pay for (in case she decided to take it).
I guess its highly unlikely that she's pregnant, but honestly it worries me more that I could loose her. I love her, I really do, and I think she loves me too... But she's now scared and mad at me, and her texts are brief and curt, as I expected she didnt send me a morning message today, so I did and got a dry "Good morning" back (also as expected I guess).
She's understanding and empathetic, but I dont know how to act now.

Have been in a relationship with this girl for 4 years. We have had our ups and downs, separated multiple times and got together. Last time we separated, she messaged me out of nowhere after 4 months saying that she misses me. In fact, one could argue that she is the one who always got us back together, again. But despite that, I feel like I am the one who is more invested in our relationship.
I am more affectionate, I always try to make her come first for everything and all that. Back when we got back together she was all lovey-dovey and I felt great, she acted like the girlfriends of some of my friends. However, that stopped real fast and now she was at her parent's house over the holidays and didn't even send me a message for NYE.
We live a few hours apart, so naturally we phone/IM a lot. She always gets angry for never initiating a talk/chat with her but when we talk, she's always rather passive and I feel forced to keep the conversation going. When I just remain passive as well, she goes "Don't be silent"
I don't want this kind of girlfriend. The sex is good but I have had good sex with previous girlfriends as well. I want more. However, I can't bring myself to actually break-up with her. I'm obviously emotionally invested in her and in our past (sunk cost fallacy). She's the only girl who repeatedly came back to me, which makes me think that she might actually feel strongly for me.
I told her that if she likes me as much as she claims she does, then I want her to be more affectionate. She tried for a bit but it didn't last long. As I said, she left to be with family over the holidays and ever since then it's been dead silence.
I spent NYE with friends and their girlfriends were all super cute and affectionate, the ones that didn't bring their girlfriend to this event we went were bombarded with caring (but angry) texts, were called and cared for. I got teary eyed and felt worse than being single...
Can this be fixed? Should I tell her to fuck off?

You deserve someone who loves you and cares about you. If someone loves you and cares, they show it. It is natural. You just can't hide it.
Let her go and find someone who treats you well.

>>16633425
How do you explain the fact that she's always coming back for more? Is she just being an attention whore and wanting someone who's all into her?
Last time we got back together she said that she went on two dates with a different guy each and didn't like them one bit. That she realized that I was "awesome" and that she doesn't want someone else.
I gotta admit, when she said those things I felt so damn happy and I almost believed that things would be different and that she'd be affectionate but nada.

I see it as being pointless and a waste of the person's GPA.
>Being a vet has a lower status and income
>The number of years of studying in grad school is the same though
>Job security is somewhat lower than being a doctor
>You memorise the same shit about anatomy so it's not like vet school is easier
>Both are just as stressful as you need to perform operations and that is gruesome
>Vet school may as well be harder as you need to deal with so many species of animals

Because they like it more. Because they don't want to see a human being in pain. Because they are more interested in animals than in human anatomy. Because they don't want to deal with patients.
Being a doctor means that you have someone else's life in your own hands, it's not a job for everyone. That's it.
>>
>>16633260
I'd think it'd be obvious to assume that the reason behind it would be that the person simply likes it better to deal with animals than humans.
Hell, I believe I would have been able to endure studying mechanical engineering or math, those areas interest me, yet here I am studying graphic design (its got some programing and other computer science-y stuff to it, so landing a job won't be hard, I imagine) which, at the end of the day, I like better.
or maybe what >>16633269 said. Seems reasonable, too
>>
>>16633269
Dealing with sick animals is really the same as dealing with sick humans.
>>16633280
Really, both jobs are fundamentally the same. Why not pick the one which pays better?
My bf and I had a fight and broke up for some time. During that time he started talking with a girl and later I found out that even while we were together he wrote her stuff like "I'm sure you look cute when you blush".
Now we are back together but every time I am reminded of that girl I get so mad. I kick the pillow but it doesn't help. I am mad both at my boyfriend and at this girl.
What to do? It's been months but I don't think I can forget and it gets worse with time.
