Is Wikipedia reliable, honestl ? I was thinking about subscribing to Encyclopaedia Universalis if not, is it a good choice ?

>>16527550
as reliable as a any encyclopaedia.
>>
>>16527550
Wikipedia is written by volunteers. Some know what they're talking about, some don't and some are deliberately misleading. The editors try to control quality but can't be expert enough in everything.

It's a convenient place to start, and to get simple facts, like someone's dates. And its references might send you to other good sources.

But double check anything you find there. And don't ever use it as a source in a school paper or assignment.
>>
I only used wiki during my schooling. I wasn't stupid enough to list it as a source, what I would do is is list all the references for the article as a source.

The notes on my papers form the teacher.
>That is an impressive list of sources you found.

What makes one attracted to bigger girls?

I know people are just going to want to say "we like what we like". But why?

I've had a couple relationships with fitter girls and they just never hold my interest. On the other hand a bigger girl has always just felt "right" to me. It gets weird sometimes when I'm out with my friends and we talk about girls and I have to pretend to like what the like.

Why? WHY?

I dunno, it seems kind of unnatural thus weird. It implies that you are attracted to people that lack discipline and that probably have some issues. Maybe you feel less intimidated and judged because they aren't perfect, just like you?
>>

>implies that you are attracted to people that lack discipline and that probably have some issues

You can get that with skinnier chicks. Btw, I'm not talking about huge or even obese just slightly chubby or thick.

>>16527463
Sure. But they might appear "perfect" from a distance. Chubby girl have obvious "flaws".

I've had unprotected sex with a guy last week. It was our 3. Date and certainly not planned that way. I have an IUD, but i'm rather paranoid about getting pregnant (thus the IUD despite not being in a LTR...) Today my paranoia got the best of me and i went to my doc to check if the IUD is still where it belongs. Everythings fine. Should i tell the guy that i got it checked (maybe he's being paranoid too and it would ease his mind...). that it was a dumb idea to not use protection and that we would have to use condoms in the future? I don't want to bombard him with too many infos, but i feel like this would be a good opportunity to tell him we'll still have to use protection next time. I know, i'm overthinking again, but i'm just not good when iz comes to things like this. pls /adv/, i need your input!

Nah, just leave it. Then when you hook up with him again, subtley play it off as "I was kinda worried last time, so I wanna use a condom this time"

Its not a big deal.

Right. I tend to overcomplicate everything. Thanks anon.

Why have the IUD and ruin it with a condom?

Requesting any possible advice from oldguyfags lurking 4chains.

Come on, bros. Pass your knowledge onto millenials. Help us living a decent life.

Any subject, anything at all.

To start the conversation, I'll ask the question that worries me the most: should I chase after money (I'm 23) to try to buy myself my own apartment (without taking loans from the bank). Or should I just spend it on everything I want to do from going to guitar lessons to travelling? Mind you, I spend all my free time on 3 different jobs, trying to maintain sanity.
But what's ultimately better? I already have like 8000$ in my savings after 5 months of work. But I am exhausted. And my flat is nowhere near in sight. I'll need years and years for it.

Firstly, let me start off by saying nice dubs. Life is about happiness. It's not about how many things you have, materialism is a man-made idea. For all you know, you could die tomorrow & on the verge of death you don't want to vehemently regret the decisions you made prior to your departure. Take a vacation, treat yourself to a new guitar, go buy some whiskey & fucking drown yourself in it OP. This world is for men who act and not those who plan. More than half of the time nothing goes as planned because even the most minuscule detail can cause volatility. Focus on your happiness and not your materialistic bullshit, you fucking capitalist. Anyways, cheers lad & may your decisions be the best ones.
>>
You're 23 on a regular full-time job, you can't be exhausted.

First comes the work, then comes the fun.

>>16527349
>Life is about happines

Also don't listen to the hedonists and faggots who come to this board exactly because they only see short-term gratification (who are those people again? oh right, MILLENIALS)

Challenge yourself, work, save money, have fun, rebuild yourself.

I'm 25 and just started a bridging at uni. I caught up with my neighbour whos 52 and started saying its too late and that I should just join the army. He says he doesn't understand why I have a girlfriend, says im a loser and that I'm a failure and to just join the army. Said I need to live in the now and that Im unemployable.

1. Is it weird, if I have an exam in the same room with a girl, to take it, wait on a bench outside for her to come out, and ask her out?

2. Is it weird to have a mental script before hand? It's nothing complex, but I figure it would be good to have my words nailed down. Will it be obvious I planned my words exactly?

I don't interact with women often.

>>16527208
Yes, it's weird, and no, it's probably not a great idea. A better idea would be to rehearse ahead of time, several times if need be, but not commit the words to memory or write them down. If you do you'll sound like a robot.

And pick a different setting. Her mind will be way elsewhere, and she won't be in the best mood. Also it's just weird.
>>
That's not the best idea. But ofcourse we don't know how you know this person or anything if you two are relatively friendly already it might be ok. Just take mental step back and really think about your aproach.

Having a script is very handy from my own experience. Keep it short and simple and don't overly explain yourself, be brief and to the point.
>>
>>16527208
It's not weirder or more awkward than any other cold approach. Keep it casual, talk to her like anyone else.

Mental scripts aren't a bad idea but don't get too detailed- you've got to learn to ad lib

So yesterday or two days ago I made a post about my boyfriends phone. Apparently one of my friends saw him messaging this girl who flirts with him in class

I asked him today if I could go through his phone but he said no and defended his response with the classic "you're invading my privacy" and "it means no trust" response.

The few people I've talked about this with said that it was a bad sign, they all advised me to dump him because it's suspicious. I just need opinions on this.. Suggestions would help too

I swear god that if a girl went through my phone without my permission I'd dump the shit out of her for starters. people need their own private space, just because he likes you doesn't mean he should bend over and take your dick up his fucking ass when it comes to everything in life.

Alright so, here's the story, and if some kind anon could advise me on what to do next, I'd be eternally grateful. I'm being general so ask me to elaborate if needed, plz


>My 4 year relationship with a girl started declining due to stress, and at one point she wanted to go on a break so she could focus on her uni work for a while.
>After a week, she says that she needs to be alone indefinitely and that we're over because she needs to "find herself".
>After a couple days or so we're texting again, and she breaks away from normal conversation and says something to the effect of "I miss you", just not worded that way.
>If I remember correctly it was like "I want to kiss you" or something.
>I never really wanted to separate so I reply with something equally flirtatious but never went past that message, the conversation returns to non-romantic stuff and life goes on.
>A couple days after that, I ask to see if maybe we could go out as friends.
>It was really a ploy to get alone time with her to maybe open up about how I feel, but for the time it was just friendly because even though we see each other often we had been avoiding each other awkwardly.
>Instead, she suggests we go out as a couple one last time, says it will be more fulfilling for me.
>I accept, and after hesitant withdrawals of the offer it happens anyway out of the blue when she decides to push the envelope and make it happen one day spontaneously.
>It happens, we go out and do shit that only couples would but officially we're not together.
>No sex or anything just walking around, kissing and hugging and whatever.
>At the end of the "date" I suggest we do it again, she declines saying that it would be contradictory because she previously insisted she isn't ready to date again, but does still love me.
>She wants to stick to her word, and she kisses me goodbye.

I still can't tell if I should wait for her, if she wants me gone, or what. I'm just so damn confused and I love her guys. What now?

>"find herself".
This is the point where she started cheating on you, and where I stopped reading.

You already know what you must do, stop being a pussy.

Seriously, you were dumped because you got too beta, OP.
>>
>At the end of the "date" I suggest we do it again, she declines saying that it would be contradictory because she previously insisted she isn't ready to date again,
Actually, nevermind.

You got SO beta, wishy-washy, romantic, non-confrontational, unleader-y, that you not only killed off her attraction to you FOR GOOD, but you also made her completely repulsed of relationships AT ALL, and she'll pretty much admits she'll be a long time in the cock carousel of casual sex until she forgets what a pussy you've became in the course of your relationship.

Hope that helped.

I know it sounds that way, but I'm almost 100 percent certain it's not because of someone else for reasons I can't be assed to explain unless you actually want me to. So let's assume it's not that. Now what?

My alcoholism made me goof bad guys and I'm not sure what to do
>Be me yesterday, finish studying and start drinking because I've been feeling like trash all day.
>Underestimate how drunk I've gotten from the first few drinks so I chug two more
>Start fading in and out of awareness so I wrap myself in my blanket and decide to listen to an album one of my housemates suggested to me
>Long fade out period
>Fade back in rambling to him and his gf while they're in bed (I had woken them up) about how great the album is. At this point I realize I'm in a situation I should not be in and say I'll just tell him tomorrow and excuse myself.
>Fast forward to this morning, I'm getting ready to go to go class and see him, we chat a bit and he brings up last night (which I had mostly forgotten about) and for some reason HE apologizes TO ME about being too tired to understand what I was talking about, so I just run with that and we end up discussing the album and the artist for a bit before I have to go and he seemed pretty chill about it. Then he reminds me that I left my sweater in his room which makes me even more confused

So why do I still feel like a garbage housemate and have this urge to apologize to him and his gf? At the same time I feel like he gave me a pass to escape the incident with minimal awkwardness between us and I should just take it. I haven't seen his gf again yet but I feel like I can't just ignore what happened.

I'm not particularly close with him or any of our other housemates and sort of feel like the outsider in the group, but I think that distance has been shrinking recently and now I may have gone and fucked it all up by gaining a reputation as a drunken nuisance.

What should I do /adv/ ?

You're most likely tripping out and nothing bad happened. I get literally the same feeling after I drink - an insatiable feeling that I fucked up or embarrassed myself somehow. That's why I never get smashed in public anymore, and save it for my boys. If the dude is close enough to you he would be open and tell you something made him uncomfortable.
>>
Don't drink to shake off feelings. It will just worsen them and escalate things. Talk to a trusted person about your problems. Does alcoholism run in any of your family?
>>
>>16527157
Yes and I'm painfully aware of the road I'm walking down but its ridiculously hard to stop for more than a few weeks. I've told myself I'll drop it if it ever gets to the point where I'm skipping class to get drunk but now I'm not so sure if thats the best point to wait for.

>>16527156
It's good to know I'm not the only one who frequently gets this post-drunk anxiety. Do you think I should just pretend it never happened and move on?

I'm going to start by telling you all that I fucked up. Hard. I cheated on my girlfriend, but that's not what I need help with. We've worked past that already. What I need help with is different. One of her friends was in contact with the woman I cheated with, and obtained the only nude image that I sent her. Now her nuts friend has it and is threatening to post it to the facebook wall of all of my friends and family unless I give her $150 before 12-4-15. I have no other options. I am literally begging the 4chan community for help.

On a somewhat related note, I recently bought a PS4 protection plan that I can't actually use, so Sony is sending me a $60 refund Visa Prepaid card. I know that nobody likes doing things for free, so whoever can help me will be $60 richer if they so choose.

Please!! I don't want to lose the woman of my dreams, although I know I don't deserve her.

For personal reasons, I wont be uploading a photo of me, my girlfriend and I, or the conversation with the threat. If you do wish to know what we look like or what exactly was said, please let me know of a way to privately contact you.

>Why are people still having them other than to make their parents shut up about "muh grandchildren?
It might be hard to believe, but some people genuinely like them.

I'm in a weird situation where, if I don't have a child soon, I'll probably end up completely alone when I'm a bit older. Aside from my husband, everyone I love is dead or will die very soon. But at the same time, I know how selfish we both are, and so I try to fight the urges. I feel like I'll regret it either way.

>I'm sick of being asked when I'm going to pop some out.
Make a sad, serious face and tell them you're barren. They'll stop asking.
>>
>>16527104
I just see it as extremely rude to even ask someone if they're going to have kids. I will try the barren response, thanks.

I'm the same way with my husband. We just like how things are.
>>
When people ask me how many kids I want I say "I do not know how many does it take to create a village?". They never ask me again.

Least painful way is obliteration with an explosive device.

Best way is either handgun/shotgun or jumping headfirst off an extremely high building. Good luck with that.

Depends. If you live in western country currently accepting muslim refugees, please do the rest of us a favor and suicide bomb one of the 'asylum' centers.

You shouldn't make a giant list of the things you shouldn't say. You should just practice talking to woman like they're people.

Unless you're SO clueless when you try to talk to women you just creep them the fuck out. Then you can ask for some pointers.
>>
I have no idea what you're asking, so I'm just going to assume.

When complimenting a woman, don't use words like sexy or hot until you're actually in a relationship. Use words like pretty, gorgeous, lovely, etc. Remember, be the prince, not the bard. Unless you're just trying to fuck. Then be the bard. But for relationships be the prince.

Do ask her about her day. Do pretend to care. She says she didn't do anything today? Throw in a cute line like "Well, I was thinking about grabbing some coffee later if you wanted to come with. No pressure." If she mentions a hobby anywhere, two options. 1) If you actually share this hobby, bring it up. 2) If you do not share the hobby, do not pretend like you do because that's frustrating for everyone. Say something like "Wow, what a coincidence! I was actually thinking about getting into [hobby]."

Anything else?
