/adv/, I graduated a year ago from undergraduate studies with below a 3.0 GPA and without making any strong connections with my professors. There are many reasons why this happened but I wont bother you with a sob story.
Do I have a chance of getting into a good PhD program if I get accepted into any Masters program and do well there?
tldr; does it matter where I got my Masters when applying for a PhD?

Christ, stop looking for magical signals and just ask the girl out.
If she says no then at least you know where you stand and can act accordingly.

Sexbots might be a reality in our life time but they don't even exist yet and there are already feminists getting ready to get them banned. Why?

Ergh, I hope not. And they better make them in both genders. I really need a properly programmed male. Between flaccid dicks and flaccid brains, I am struggling to stay attracted to men.

Sex machines already exist. You just have to build them yourself if you are a poor fag.
The AI apocolypse is more likely to arrive before you get a machine to like sucking your ugly dick tho.

>been talking to this one girl a lot
>she's really nice to me; I enjoy her company
>she's stayed over twice, but no sex, just a lot of hanging out and cuddling
She was talking to me tonight and asked me if she should go hang out with another guy or not. She said she didn't want to go because he was pushy for sex.
ANYWAY, this made me realize that I hate relationships. I really like talking to her but I've gotten too close. What's the best way to break off contact with the least amount of strife possible?

Anon, I'm absolutely certain she was fishing for you to make a move and be able to admit you had feelings for her and tell her not to go. I realize that is beyond aggravating because it is subtle but don't don't absurd. Ask the damn girl out if you're interested.

>>16474407
>Ask the damn girl out if you're interested.
I'm not in a position to. And if the fishing thing was true, I already blew that anyway.

Shameless bump:
To reiterate, I'm trying to break off contact in a way that doesn't cause a lot of strife.

My boyfriend is still a student, and as a result has very little money. I've already graduated, and thus have much more money than he does. Right now we share a very small apartment with a third person.
I was thinking of getting a bigger, nicer place. I already know he wouldn't be able to really pitch in on the rent, so I'm thinking that I'd just pay it, instead of splitting stuff.
I floated this idea past a friend of mine, who warned me that it was a bad idea. Living in this kind of arrangement would make it obvious to him that he wouldn't be able to pay his share, and would eat at him. I already pay for things when we go out to eat at fancier places, though he pitches in when he can.
Should I continue to live in a smallish apartment if it means that my bf can split the rent with me, or should I go for something nicer, and just pay for it all? Is it a problem if I pay for a bunch of the stuff in our relationship? I don't mind doing it at all, but I don't want to make him feel like dead weight.
Pic not related, but good at getting attention.

I think it's wiser to stay where he can afford. hes a student so it will get better but it is going to be problematic for him to get into a situation he can't pull his weight in.

Do you want to be his mom or something? Do you have self confidence issues? How far along is this relationship?

Some guys think it's emasculating, others love to be treated. If the roles were swapped there wouldn't be nearly as much debate.
Only you know him. Ask him how the money thing feels to him.
I really feel like no one believes me, but I have like 10 girlfriends. I have a couple dudes who are really into me. None of the girls I fuck with are sluts. I mean, not any more than me. We all go hiking, we all fuck, we all have a group of close friends...I have 10 different circles at least of girls in this town. None know of eachother. I feel like the ultimate slut, but I'm a dude. I feel so conflicted. I could call them all to pick me up right now and I could cry and fall into their arms and fuck them for hours and days. At some point I'm going to get shot or something...but nothing ever happens. I'm in too deep to stop. I guess. Whatever? I'm 24. Am I really good at life or just a piece of shit?

My girlfriend recently told me that she'd be okay with me having sex with other women.
According to her, I have to approve them with her first before I have sex with them.
She has asked about details of my previous sexual partners and displayed minimal jealousy on a number of occasions.
What's going on here /adv/?

ITS A TRAP
>>
I'm this way with my boyfriend too. I just never got why people would be jealous of their significant other's sex partners. Sex isn't all that important to me, and if anything, maybe he could learn a thing or two from other women outside of our normal routine. Only possible concern would be catching an std or him seeing trashy people that might lead to trouble, so I'd want to know them and approve of them too. But he's not really into seeing other women so I never really had to deal with it in the end.
If she's like me, then she just doesn't care about that stuff. Or maybe she's into kekholding.
I suggest you ask her what's up yourself.
>>
>>16474291
Maybe I'm too autistic to understand women, but if she approves someone and I fuck them, can't I just say that she O.K'd it? Obviously I wouldn't say it that blatantly, but you get the point.

She's using you to get the girl, most likely if you do get one for her, you will end up having a shitty threesome as she will be focusing more on the girl. Ive done this a couple of times too, sorry.

/adv/, why do I feel like a fucking failure?
Why do I feel like its the norm for kids to go to universities straight out of high school, and live happily in their dorms and not have a job and go have crazy parties and have wild nights? I was never given this. Despite growing up in a wealthy family, my parents wouldn't pay for a university, only a community college. I feel like I'm fucking missing out on so much. No, I don't plan on staying in a community college. I'm hoping and praying and working my ass off for a 4.0 so I can transfer to a university. But then I'll be 20 and I'll feel like I missed so much.
Do you know how fucking hard it is to tell people I go to a community college? Like everyone assumes I go to a university so when I tell them the name of my college they haven't even heard of it. Fucking sucks. And meanwhile I look at my friends on social media and whatnot and they're getting hammered and doing crazy shit at parties. And I'm in my parents house, watching Netflix in my spare time.
Am I being a baby? Or do I legitimately have a reason to feel like shit? Community college isn't the end of the world, right?
I just feel like adulthood hasn't even started for me. I live with my parents and my school night as well be highschool again.

I'm kind of on the same boat as you, Op. Except in my case I'm in uni already and have to see all these people dorming and having an experience that I may never have. I've learned to deal with it at this point and try to just make friends that do dorm so that I can chill with them some nights and not have to go home all the time. It sucks but you just have to keep on trucking, man. Not much else you can do until then. And trust me, 20 is not old at all to be dorming. You will blend right in and no one else will really care how old you are.
>>
>>16474140
The "trucking" is just very very painful. I just want to fast forward through this boredom.

Hello /adv/, I want to buy a bracelet for my girlfriend for Christmas but I have no knowledge whatsoever about the quality of jewellery and whatnot and I have a budget of 100$ to spend on it.
I was wondering if anyone has already done this before and could give me good websites that could also ship to Canada
Just want to give her something of a bit of value that she could hold on to and appreciate 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:
>Is it normal for me to go to a club/bar by myself?
Yes. Stop overthinking this.
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
Some do, some don't.
>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Think positive, and get over it by practicing 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
>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. Stop overthinking it.
>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.
>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing
>Would you date a virgin?
As long as they aren't insecure about it. Complex's are a total turn-off.
>Someone has made it abundantly clear they're no longer interested in me. Do I still have a chance?
No
>Where do I go on a first (or subsequent) date?
Pick one or more of the following: coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, ice cream, movies, zoo, aquarium, museum, art gallery, <activity in your city>
>That one guy who keeps asking about cuddling in platonic friendships
No one wants to cuddle you. Stop asking
>Brandon or Female Brandon
Piss off.
>Frog
Also piss off.

Is it a turnoff if a guy tells you how he feels when you're casually dating? Or is it better to just let things progress?
Been seeing this girl for a while, not really dating, we've been friends for a while, we've had dates where we've seen a movie, or she's hung out at my place and we just chilled. We've also spent some time fooling around but no sex yet. This has been going on for months on and off. I went through the entire month of October without seeing her but we've seen each other every week since then in some capacity. I'm not sure where we are. It seems casual, but I really like her and I don't think she knows how I'm feeling. All I want to tell her is some variation of "I'm really into you and I look forward to everytime we hang out" in order to let her know I want something more than just casually seeing each other on the weekends. It seems like there's always a cloud of uncertainty or some sort of tension when we hang out and I can't tell if it's because we both want to take things further or if she is aware of my intentions and doesn't want it. Her vibe always seems to be different, sometimes she seems into me and others it seems like I'm just there, I'm not able to read her very well and it's making me unsure.
Bonus question! How high school is it for a 25 year old man to ask her friend how she feels? Her friend only recently found out we've been seeing each other (neither her nor me have told any of our friends, she only happens to know through a coincidence). I've known her friend a for a long time and are good friends ourselves. She seemed happy when she told me she knew about us and I figure it's a good opportunity to gain some kind of insight into how she feels about me, but it feels totally pathetic and sad to do so. Is it?
>>
>>16474114
>Is it a turnoff if a guy tells you how he feels when you're casually dating?
Only if she actually doesn't want something serious. Have you ever talked about feelings in general, like anything emotional? There are people who don't think men should generally admit to or show any emotion/feeling. There are others who realize that's stupid.
Just tell her. If she's turned off, that sucks but it'd be better for you to cut ties anyways since you want more and she doesn't. If she replies positively, well then you can talk about being "official" or whatever.
Don't involve the friend.
>>
>>16474114
Didn't read the TL;DR, but if we're just casually dating and it's not serious, then I'd probably back off if he told me about his feelings and I felt we weren't on the same page.

I went through a break up a few months back that really did a number on me and I was fucked up for a long time. Thought about suicide for the first time in my life and it took some serious doing to get myself back out to the real world.
I now have a great job and more friends than I ever had when I was with her, but I still have days every now and then where I really just don't want to live anymore and I'm sick of the world and I want to die. Keep in mind that since the break up I've hooked up with two different girls and gotten number from countless others. I'm actually texting a girl as we speak and we plan on meeting sometime this weekend for a date.
But I cannot shake this feeling that I simply don't want to go on anymore. This girl meant a lot to me and the idea that she would leave me for someone else makes me feel like I'm a worthless piece of shit and I deserve to die. I haven't cried in a while but sometimes I'll just sink into a pit of despair and I need to disappear for a while. Like right now, I legitimately wish I could die in an instant and get a do-over. I've never let someone get to me like this, so what gives?
What should I do? I really do need advice.

Been through a similar boat except after 2 years ex got in touch with me and it fucked my shit hard. You've got to learn to be happy with yourself and your friends and family around you if you constantly just feel negative and depressed about this life and opportunities will pass by that you could've taken. Don't pass up on chances to find an even better girl in the future. Cultivate your interests and hobbies go to the gym(helps a ton) make yourself into who you want to be and be happy independently of anyone else's approval. Be happy to be you, be confident and strive for excellence in all things you do and someday someone will be attracted to that and you might just find the perfect qt3.14

Hey docfags or nursefags, I was wondering, does this third degree burn look like it might be getting infected? Also, what's the best way to disinfect/clean this kind of burn wound? Do I rip off the skin that's potentially infected, then clean? Do I wrap it, or leave it out to let it 'breathe'?

Peroxide on it multiple times a day. Let it breathe but cover it if you gotta work with your hands.
>>
>>16473932
How about any antibiotics of sorts? Also, non-stick bandages should work fine, correct? And should I give the peroxide time to dry before bandaging it or should I put the bandage on there while the peroxide is still working it's foaming magic?
>>
>>16473932
Peroxide's effectiveness has been heavily called into question lately. Its supposed antibacterial properties have not lived up to their name, showing that it was usually ineffective at reducing bacteria at the site.
OP, get silver sulfadiazine cream, you should be able to find it in a decent drug store. It's used heavily to treat burns of second degree or worse. I recently had to go to a burn ward and the silver cream is what they used.
The advice about letting it breathe but covering if working is sound, though. Listen to that.
I think I legitimately might have an intellectual disability
>didn't learn proper hygiene until about 17 years old
>wasn't able to communicate very well until about 17-18 years old. could speak, just not very well. too much going on inside my head.
>needed help keeping up with homework
>had to quit my recent office job because I just couldn't do it
>don't think ahead at all and have trouble planning/getting things done
>forget to do my laundry all the time
>poor social skills, including eye contact and keeping my voice at a normal volume, inability to make lasting connections
>not in touch with the world enough to do well in school and know what the hell is going on
however, this is what makes me question that
>can write graduate-level papers while being a freshman in college
>always think of weird ways of thinking of things which makes me fail my tests because I can't memorize the shit so I overthink it to make up for my lack of concrete knowledge
>high level of abstract/imaginative thinking
>built a desktop computer from scratch in a little under two weeks (not consecutively, but that's the amount of time I dedicated to research and construction).
What the hell is wrong with me and why am I such a failure in life?
I'd never taken an administered IQ test. I've taken a few online and got 132 but those online tests are mostly bs.

You do not have an intellectyal disability if you can write graduate-level papers as a frosh. It IS possible that you might have a developmental delay of some other kind, but there is nothing wrong with your intellect.
You will need to get some psychological testing done to be sure. Fortunately, you are in college; toue campus hea;th center's psychological staff may be able to do this for you. Even if they cannot, psychology students are always looking for people to practice administering the test on.
