ITT: Ask the opposite gender anything

Is it possible for men and women to have a friendship where one doesnt feel any romantic feelings for the other?

>>17569900
I think so but a lot of people disagree.

>>17569900
possible? yes
profoundly unlikely? you bet your sweet, anonymous ass it is

How do I take things to the next level?

I met this girl about two weeks ago and we've been talking a lot and studying. How do I move on past small talk? I am honestly clueless.

I was talking to this girl for awhile then acted clingy when she would spend time with other guys than me. Now she acts distant and talks less to me and more to other people. How to fix?

>>17569900

It is possible, assuming that they don't find each other physically attractive.

Guys, what do you think about girls who aren't willing to take initiative and make the first move?

[Disclaimer: I'm not saying I'm one of those girls (I'm not), so save your personalities towards me. I just want to know your opinions on them]

>>17569962
Nothing. It's kind of expected.

>>17569962
i disregard them. ive had more than enough of the whole "coy maiden" routine.

How often do guys attempt to ask out/hit on complete strsngers? The few guys I have attracted so far have been complete strangers who I've barely spoke a sentence to right before the moment before they ask for my number. Not to mention that I haven't found or felt anything attractive about them in the slightest, though even I did, the answer would still be l the same since the thought of getting with someone I didn't even know existed til that moment is so off putting to me (along with the fact they probably wanted to hook up but I would be aiming for marriage whenever I finally actually date someone).

I'm very inexperienced and new to stuff like this, but I'm concerned that this will just keep on happening.....

>>17569900
I'm having one right now. I find her attractive but I'm being in love with someone else.

>>17570023
I never do that even if there's a possibility of mutual attraction. I find a weird comfort in knowing I will never cross path with that pretty chick again. Perhaps due to many melancholy romances I was fed at early age.

Girls

Do you prefer the P2NP or the pseudoephedrine for freebase when making speed?

>>17569962
>aren't willing to take initiative and make the first move?
even if they like someone ? well some people are meant to be twats.

I don't know what I did yesterday, what I've said over text (was pretty standard, like "talk to ya later") then this morning she called (by mistake) before I got the chance to tell her good morning (I suspect she's been reading our convo of yesterday, I asked her what's wrong)
Now she won't talk to me, won't respond to my texts only hours later. I see her coming online then going offline immediately after, won't say anything to me.

What the hell is wrong? Yesterday she said all is fine. Today she's cold as fuck, won't even bother to hide it.

What do I tell her?

>>17569900
Yes, for sure.
I think it gets much easier once you get older.

>>17569953
You don't. Move on.

>>17570038
How would we know what is wrong? Maybe she is busy or having a bad day. Maybe you said something wrong and now she detests you.

In general, if people seem uninterested in conversation, don't say Anything. Absolutely anything.

>>17569962
I don't necessarily hold it against them. Them making a first move is a plus rather than not making the first movie is a minus.

However if they never take action or initiate things after we start dating and I'm doing everything in the relationship it gets annoying fast.

>>17570023
I never ask out or hit on complete strangers. I get to know them first before I try to date them. Keep in mind, some people don't do it like this. Some guys use the first date to get to know you. Going on a date with someone doesn't mean you're together or planning to be. They thought you were attractive and decided to ask you on a date to get to know you and see if they like you or not.

>>17569917
Either verbally by asking her out, or physically by initiating physical contact.

I just talked to my ex for the first time since we broke up. It was hard to tell what their true intentions were because I think neither of us was being 100% authentic with one another (trying to act like we're okay with how things ended, etc) and I was hoping to have some light shed on the issue.

In our talk they didn't ask me how I was doing. There's obviously no way to tell why they didn't but my question is... does that strike anyone else as strange? I think I sounded as though I was fine, and given that I'm a rather emotional person I can see why they would avoid asking (for fear of triggering an emotional response) altogether. However, I wonder if maybe it's time to accept that they actually don't care how I am doing. Is that an overreaction?

>>17570032
kek

>>17570123
>they
anon pls

>>17569962
Weak as shit. Are we equals or not? If you're interested in a guy and just stand around like a retard doing nothing about it, you're just as dumb as a man who spergs the same way around girls.

I mean, cowards gonna coward, shouldn't be too hard on them for being innately weak, but I wouldn't want to date one.

>>17570023
>How often do guys attempt to ask out/hit on complete strangers?
Often enough that it's nothing you should think of as weird or outside the limits of politeness. They think you're hot, so they ask you out; that's, I wouldn't say ballsy exactly, but it takes more guts than just doing nothing about it, for sure. That's a good sign, all else equal -- of course, if you don't find them physically attractive, just tell them no. No reason to waste your time.

As >>17570106 said, a lot of guys figure that the dating part is for getting to know someone, so they just go for girls they find hot, which makes sense.

Honestly – this may be because of your inexperience – it seems like you take dates way too seriously. It's just a date, an opportunity to get to know each other and find out if you're compatible, it's no big deal. You don't have to "get with" someone just because you go on a couple of dates with them.

Anyway, nobody can force you to date, and you obviously shouldn't if it makes you uncomfortable, but yeah, I'd say you're attaching too much importance to it. If you *can* just relax and go with it I think that would be for the best.

ey femanons

if a cute guy provides weed for u to smoke and takes you to the movies on a first date, would you at least blow him?

>>17570224
No.

>>17569962
I'm fine with making the first move, so long as you're giving clear messages
like straight up grinning at me or laughing at my jokes

any man unwilling is honestly a pussy
>b-but you could... rape allegations!

>>17569900
Sure, but it has to be that way for a certain reason. I'm close friends with this one woman, but I'm just not interested in her that way. She's actually attractive, but her personality makes her a no go for me.

>>17569907
I think a large part of the reason why so many people disagree, is because it's so rare. Most of the time one of the people would definitely date the other if there was a chance at it.

>>17569962
>Guys, what do you think about girls who aren't willing to take initiative and make the first move?
Kind of annoyed, but also not very interested. I've spent a good chunk of my life wasting time on women like that, who were afraid to ever take the initiative. It's just not worth it, and people need to stop conflating submissive with not taking initiative.

What are the do's and don'ts when trying to introduce yourself on a dating site?

I assume the process roughly goes that you try to ask them some questions about stuff on their profile and make small talk, and make a date a bit later but it's not as if I have any experience.

>>17570260
Huh, I guess it really depends on the person.
Obviously the whole point is introducing yourself and asking each other questions to get to know each other.

I'll tell you what worked for me
>Punctuation and correct grammar
>No compliments
>No pick up lines
>Nothing too long or too short - a couple of lines is ideal.

As the conversation goes,
>Ask interesting questions
>Comment the replies
>Share personal/funny stories
>Do not talk shit about yourself or anybody

>>17569917
Simple. Ask her out. For dinner. Guys today think dinner is an old school option, and that girls won't think it's necessary, or cheesy.
But who doesn't love free food and good company. Plus it's exciting, they'll actually try to look semi nice for you, and all that.
And an actual dinner. Not wendys. At least olive garden grade.

>>17569953
She's clearly not interested enough.
Don't waste your time. There needs to be effort on both sides.

>>17569962
It will feel lopsided eventually. Doesn't sound like it would make for a very open relationship.

>>17570023
I did it once, but only because I thought this girl who worked at this art store and I we're having a really nice conversation about art, and I felt like we had something.
When I asked her out for coffee, she said she had a boyfriend and I just left it at that. I'd never do it just to simply hook up. And it's rare I find women like that who are strangers out in public.
So how often? Not often.

The classic question for ladies :
How small penis would be a deal breaker for you?

>>17570345
I don't know, it's not like I can point to a number and say "that's it, that's the cut off point". That's just fucking stupid, it's not like there's a noticeable difference between say, 4.9 inches and 5 inches, or 6.9 inches and 7 inches.

>>17570224
No. I wouldnt feel oblidged to do so.

>>17570347
Average one (5.5 inch) would be enough?

>>17570352
>he actually has a 5 inch dick
Oh you poor soul. Only like 1% of the population has a penis that small. I mean hell most of us on 4chan have at least a 9incher, and the chads are around a foot long

>>17570345
No size penis is a deal breaker for me. Only the worst sort of women actually care about penis size

>>17570347
well I can confirm that 5-7 inches feel the same to me.

>>17570385
Is it true that girth is more important than length?

Haven't had that many partners but I suppose their thickness are roughly the same ? or perhaps I just don't notice the difference visually. Usually when we had sex I would be very horny, and when I'm horny they all feel good. It seems my pleasure come from other connection to my partner or perhaps the guys I've been with are all good in bed.

she's always hanging around me (sits next to me in class, stands next to me in the hallway if we both get to the classroom early) but rarely/never initiates the conversation

does this mean nothing, or is she interested and just nervous around me?

>>17570452

Sounds like she likes you and is nervous. Probably waiting for you to make a move and is making her available as much as possible.

>>17570457

jokes on her i'm too beta for this

(though i was planning to ask her out to lunch next week)

>>17570464

Poor girl. Nothing worse than a guy who can't make a move and you try everything to be around him to get him to ask you out. I bet she double no triple checks everyday at the mirror looking just right. I would personally feel crushed if I spent all that time trying to look pretty to not even have my crush say anything.

Complement her anon. Her eyes, her jeans, the earing she has....something. Ugh.

Girls:

What do you think and feel about guy chatting you up on FB and later asking you for coffee or something.
Is it something you would find weird and how would you like to approached to?

Dudos:

What is your experience with this any tips for bro ?

>>17570471

I would have preferred if he called me personally. Chatting up on facebook is just lazy, same with texting. If you want to take me out somewhere, be man enough to call me up and let hear your voice ask me out.

>>17570470

i talk to her for a couple minutes as we're leaving class
the only part i'm too beta for is to go from "how's your day been?" to "you want to get lunch with me?"

>>17570470
>Poor girl. Nothing worse than a guy who can't make a move and you try everything to be around him to get him to ask you out.
Are you retarded?

Just ask *him* out, fuckmonger. As long as you're not making a move yourself you can't fucking complain.

>>17570464
>>17570470
inb4 she only thinks of him as a brother

>>17570471
It's pretty normal.
Like, pretty much the most standard thing ever.

Just say "Hey! How are you?". If we're friends on facebook we know each other.

>>17570480

>inb4 she only thinks of him as a brother

we're in alabama so that doesn't rule anything out

>>17570476

That is how I'm used on doing but now it is weird since I don't have number or anything to go on about but FB. Let say this is dude you saw around and talked a little so it is not complete stranger.

>>17570471
guy here, no need to call,just fb chat with her casually, and end your sentence with

Try a complement that you genuinely feel is worth noting anon because she will ask follow up questions. Practice in front of the mirror if you have to.

>>17570479

WHOA! Calm down. I am just giving you my insight on the situation so no need to get so aggressive.

I have approached a guy at a party and it went from I thought it looked cute to a rapey vibe from how he was looking at me.

Another guy got waaay to sexual and I had to tell him I had to leave.

So no approaching is not something all girls would like to do because we come off as too desperate which could give the guys the wrong idea.

>>17570502

Maybe she is just nervous and girls handle rejection worse than guys.

>>17570496
Stop being a pussy and just ask if she's seeing anyone and take it from there

>>17570510
>I have approached a guy at a party and it went from I thought it looked cute to a rapey vibe from how he was looking at me.
Kek, what
You approached a guy but then he seemed interested in you physically so you were wigged out and left? I'm sorry, that's just unbelievably inept, maybe you're one of those people who's meant to be alone.

>>17570504

She probably does though....I mean she is really cute. Also I can't even look her in the face without thinking of shoving my dick in her mouth. Porn really fucked me up.

>>17570511

Ya I might do that on the last weeknd and just go for it. She is hot enough that I have to talk to her.

>>17570510
>girls handle rejection worse than guys.
Jej, have you ever looked at /r9k/? You don't handle it worse at all (and rejection is effectively always softer from a guys than from girls), you just think you shouldn't have to deal with it period because it's so much nicer if guys take all the burden.

>>17570526
>Porn really fucked me up
>because I want to fuck a hot chick
Uh, I think something else fucked you up in a different way man, p. sure this is totally normal and always has been.

I messaged with girl for a three months without meeting her (she was a cashier and i found her through facebook ) irl. Was i only emotional sponge for her?

>>17570533

Did you ask her to meet irl ?

>>17570510
Holy cow. You've somehow found a way to combine almost all of the female privilege into one post. Well done.

>>17570523

The one making sexual talk with me was off putting. I thought he was cute but not hot enough where I would throw it at him. I am not a slut. You can talk to someone without thinking sex.

>>17570530

Never been to /r9k/.

Rejection is not always softer from guys to girls. My girlfriends have had awful situations where they rejected a guy and he flipped out on them. Cursing at them with all sorts of names.

>>17570538

Huh? Female privilege? What are you even talking about?

LMAO and people say women cant be funny, pls keep posting you are the funniest person ITT

this is a question for a girl out there. When a woman tells you that she wants time and space and that she'll talk to you in person when she's ready what does this mean. she left me about 24 days ago, she still wears the watch i bought her and she hasn't blocked my number.

>>17570558
She dumped you, still likes your watch tho.

>>17570558

Well it could be just that and you are playing here 50%/50% so wait and see.

Other possibility is that she think that will soften the blow and want to put you down
slowly(She just likes that watch why waste it?). But if this is the case you don't want
her anyway that is mark of a shit person.

>>17570558

Well, i never did. It was mostly because i wrote her through fb with intention to reject me because i couldnt handle the feelings and saw rejection as remedy. She didnt reject me and we ended up writing to each other for months and one day i saw that this lead nowhere and blocked her.

>>17570580

Dude that doesn't make any sense. If you wanted her to reject you then you should have asked her out. I think she was waiting for you to take another step that is how it works.

Then you proceed to block her what the actual fuck...

So I gotta question for the guys here.

My girlfriend is getting too comfortable in the relationship. She is cute and I love to bang her but something she does is pushing it. My main issue is I find her disgusting. She farts, burps, takes shits without being discreet about it and takes only one shower a day as opposed to two.

Now sure if my buddies did this I would have find humorous but a girl I sleep with? No. I find it gross and I cringe. How do I tell her to knock it off and act more like a lady?

It was on Sunday. She didn't reply to one comment on deviantart before too, although then after a week she suddenly replied. Maybe she just gets a lot of messages, I guess for the art trade I can wait patiently. But how do I get this person to become my drawfrendo without being a creeper?

>>17570592
>and takes only one shower a day as opposed to two.
whut

>>17570571
this was her last text (you will always be in my heart. right now i need some time for myself.when I'm ready to talk to you and i fix everything that needs to be fixed, ill be the one that goes to your house and talk to you. i don't want to talk when there'S anger in me and i'm hurting. I don't want to talk to you like this. i'll talk when im ready)

>>17570592
Are you retarded?
Women fart, burp and shit. If you spend a lot of time together or live together, you will hear her fart and burp and shit, and she will hear you doing the same.
It's retarded to ask your girlfriend to hide the fact that she has a functioning digestive system.
Unless she is super loud about it, really, she's just being a normal human being.

>>17570592
Farting, burping and taking shit is normal, same for taking a shower only once, unless she exercises

Tell her straight you find these things disgusting. Hopefully she breaks up with you. The part with you not minding it if it was a buddy doing it makes it even better. For a guy it's okay but for your gf it's not? What, she's not the same kind of human being as your buddies? Don't forget to tell her something like that too.

>>17570592
drop her m8, find someone prettier

I felt that she was using me and i cut everything with her. Well, she mentioned about going for a drinks indirectly but i wished her good luck ( i didnt realized back then about the actual meaning ).

How do I EXTREMELY SUBTLY hint a guy that he should ask me out?

I'm kinda introverted and shy, never speak with anyone so me randomly going to him and ask him to hang out will not only look weird, but desperate on my part since I'm foreign and I don't want to be seen "begging" guys. There's a certain stigma in this country, details, whatever.

>>17570621
Forgot to add
>>17570589

>>17570623

Smile at him, keep your arms crossed, look at him as much as possible and be near him without it looking weird. Like have an excuse as to why you are there but gravitate towards him.

>>17570623
What country? You could ask him through fb, like if he'd be interested in accompanying you or going somewhere casually.

>>17570623
Walk in front of him, turn your head, pretend to swing you hand around and touch his dick (you dont need to actually get in contact with his skin, through the clothes is ok), guys are extremely sensitive down there, they will instinctively want to date you if you touch them there.

>>17570623
Do you poo in the loo?

>>17570599

If she cares about you then she is telling the truth maybe that is not all there is to it but better that then nothing. That is all I can say without knowing full situation.

This is classic hope for the best prepare for the worst since at this moment there is nothing you can do but wait, but maybe you can become very outgoing and show her how you are a lot in presence of other girls that can help her with making decision.

My advice here is don't wait act like she broke up with you. Does she really think you are that pathetic to wait? Prove her wrong and she will come back running.

>>17570629
Dude don't act of those feelings and remember to take shots. IF you wanted to get rejected why not just asked her out, that should give you straight up answer. Unblock and try to resume...

It depends. They were crooked or british crooked tier?

>>17570748

But you felt like she is going to ghost you and she didn't then you found next worst possible out come you can think of and believed in that instead of asking the girl out. I'm impressed that she talked to you for so long which meant she was really into you. I don't know how you missed that.

Even after 3 years it still bothers you. Dude you have to let go of your pessimistic thinking.

How can you not be pessimistic when 14 year olds have more experience that you? I'm 24 KV. I think that im setting myself to failure because winning would be too much of a shock to me.

Ladies, can you explain something?

>My gf likes to "watch" and has since our college days
>Watches me ride her friend with hair pulling, slapping, and name calling
>She loved it and wanted us to do it again
>Bring same friend over
>Make sensual love to her

I cannot wrap my head around it.

>>17570809

You felt wrong that is the problem I'm talking about it, makes you jump to the conclusion without any evidence and that is fatal.

So what if they do that has no connection with you. Even if you set up your self
for failure and fail at least you get some experience out of it and that is positive.
It helps you keep moving in.

I'm 24 as well and I was just like you 3 years ago so I understand you completely.
I would straight up reject girl because I thought they don't really want me or even if they did it would be brief and I would be the one hurt.

Why not talk to someone I think you would benefit a lot from it.

Guys
So im a timid virgin getting near to ready to have sex with my boyfriend. Im extremely nervous and scared, and particularly paranoid about getting preggo. Its a completely unwarrented paranoia tho since im on the pill and use it regularly and correctly, and the only way id ever have sex was with a condom.
But i feel like thats not enough and want a third method.
Would it like, just absolutely kill all fun for him if I asked him to pull out before he came on top of it all? I know "hes your bf yadda yadda he should do whatever you feel comfortable with blah blah" i know. Im not asking if he would, i know he would if i asked, but is he gonna be thinking the whole time "this sucks ill just get it over with theres no point anymore, but ill just make her happy"
Idk if this will be something i ask of him all the time, but right now it just helps ease my virgin jitters in the slightest.

Now I have the problem that I don't know how to start a "conversation" (on fb)

>>17570890


>>17570481
This

>>17570871
For a third method, use a vaginal spermicide.

>>17570858
Neutral.

>>17570826
Let me get this straight
First time:
>rough sex, degrading, tossing friend around

Second time:
>vanilla sex, sweet and sensual, soft, gentle

Does that sound right?
The first is kinky, fetishy. It's as if you view the girl as a fuckdoll, which is hot for all parties.
The second is emotional. It's the difference between "make love" and "fuck". There's the implication that you're into it because you're emotionally attached to her.

Now this is probably not the case. But it's probably how your girlfriend is seeing it.

How you're going to get out of this is to somehow have a CALM discussion about it. You can't accuse her of being crazy and/or irrational. You've got to show that you see where she is coming from. You've got to comfort her to show that that other girl means nothing to you, and that it really was just sex.
Don't yell at her. Don't roll your eyes. Don't get frustrated.

Good luck, dude.

>>17570580
>>17570533
Sounds like she was your emotional sponge.
She could have been waiting for you to ask her out

>>17570471
I personally prefer Facebook and texting for someone asking me out. Phone calls are stressful for me.

>>17570923
How she was one?

I haven't spent any time with this girl outside of class before, but I'd like to start ASAP. What's a good way to start? I was thinking lunch, except this weekend doesn't feel like a good time to do that. What's a decent alternative (can't ask her out until Friday afternoon)?

>>17570224
I don't blow a guy on the first date.

>>17570913
I thought about it, but doesn't it burn? Or irritate everything?
Plus my concern with it is you have to insert it deep in ya. I've never inserted anything in me before, his dick will literally be the first thing to ever be actually inside me. I'm very tight and I don't think I'll be able to use it properly until I'm basically ready to go, and you gotta wait 10 minutes for it to go into effect.
Thats why I felt pulling out would be the best 3rd option. Because when you think about it, there's only actually 4 (temporary) birth control. Condoms (male or female), some sort of hormone treatment (pill, patch, shot, etc), pulling out, and spermicide. And I've already got 2 of those 4.

>>17570123
It's likely that they just didn't want to start an emotional conversation.
You're being black and white and defeatist. You're thinking it'll be easier to get over your ex if you believe that your ex hates you.

You need to move on. It doesn't matter what your ex thinks of you. You've both proved that you can be cordial to each other. That's the real purpose of the post-breakup chat. Now you both know that if you run into each other in the grocery store, the other probably won't make a scene.

Move oooonnn.

>>17569900
I'm bisexual. I never understood why people struggle with this. If this was the case, I would be predatory to all my friends.

I think some of my friends are hot, but I know we're incompatible for a relationship. I don't pine after them. I enjoy their presence as a friendship.

>>17570929
Do you have her contact? I'm assuming not since you can't do anything until you have class.
That's the first step. Get her digits, text her if she wants to hang out some time, set up from there.
And lunch is perfect, honestly. Like to all dudes out there, I'm going to explain why lunch (Especially in college) is the PERFECT first date/meeting.
>It's mid day, so therefore populated.
Eases the chicks mind that just in case by off chance you are a creepy rapist, you likely wont do anything due to the amount of witnesses.
>You can eat on campus
You don't even have to leave the safety of campus.
>Its casual
Dinner usually implies definite date. Lunch is great because it can be casual too, so if you decide you aint into him after getting to know him a bit, you don't have to feel guilty about being taken out on a nice date and you just weren't feeling it.

>>17570957
you're correct to assume that i don't have a way to contact her
i was going to ask her about lunch, and then get her number when she says yes
so you recommend not doing something this weekend, though?

Ladies

>going to hangout with girlfriend last night
>pull up to the house
>her car isn't there
>instantly get a txt that she's with her friend
>end up waiting like 5 minutes
>kind of pissed off
>she arrives, I get kind of pissy
>later found out this is her friend she was telling me about the other day
>has a chronic illness and possibly cancer, so she has very few days she's well enough to go out
>girlfriend is now worried im going to go off on the littlest shit now
>instantly feel horrible as soon as she said it was her sick friend

We talked about it last night. She said she still doesn't feel right about it and doesn't want me to get pissed off about little shit like that in the future.

This is pretty much my first real fuck up, and honestly something I feel horrible about. It wasn't right to get mad, like it was 5 minutes for fuck sake. I just want some thoughts and advice on what to do or say. Im going to see her tonight.

>>17570936
I've never used spermicide, but I doubt it burns. That'd be stupid.

Please don't have his penis be the first thing in your vagina. That's dumb. Work yourself up to it. He should finger you beforehand. That'll get you aroused and make your vagina accustomed to something inside.

Foreplay should easily take ten minutes. Stick the spermicide inside, fool around, and then stick his junk in your junk.

There's also following your period's cycle, since there are times when you are more or less fertile.

You are definitely being paranoid but I understand that you're scared.

Lots of guys are fine with pulling out, but it does definitely not feel as great.

>>17570965
did you apologize
because you really should do that

>>17570927
You used her because you wanted her to give you closure for liking her.

>>17570952

Well people only have few friends. We are not talking about people we hang out with but true friends.

It is rare to be friend with girl because if she is, that means you like her a lot where it brakes border and goes into romantic in 9/10 cases.

>>17570972
The second she said it was her sick friend I instsntly regretted getting mad and felt disgusted with myself and apologized.

>>17570960
Not exactly. Weekends are fine, but she probably has a higher chance of having previous plans. But by all means, theres no reason you can't try. Worst case scenario she says "Oh I can't this weekend, I'm going home/have a party to go to/celebrating my cats birthday", to which if she doesn't do this herself, you can follow up with "Ah, well then would you like to go sometime next week? Maybe after/before class (depending on when your class is) I can give you my number and we can set something up."

Also pro tip, sometimes it's better to just give your number rather than ask for hers. If she was interested she'd text you. If not, she doesn't have to worry about giving you her number out of politeness and then blocking you on everything/ignoring you.

>>17570979
>If she was interested she'd text you.
i mentioned her further up in this thread
she sits next to me in class/stands next to me out in the hallway every class, but won't talk to me unless i talk first
i don't feel like that would change with texting

>>17570974
So basically i tricked her into liking me just because i wanted to vent?

>>17570971
Lol ok i lied about the /first/ thing then. Just the first thing of substance. He's done a single finger in me before, but I can't handle much more. T b h, I know it's not a great idea but I know myself, and i'm just going to have to take the plunge. I know if I can't even handle 2 fingers in me having a whole dick is going to be asinine but I just get so tense and nervous. I'm just going to tell him to get it in one way or another and I'll be fine as soon as I realize "Oh, this is not a big deal at all I'm a huge fucking baby" and I'll relax.

But I guess that means I can just take the plunge with a spermicide applicator too. I just know, in my experience, if I'm the one doing it I WILL puss out. He'll have to be the one applying it, which idk if that's really a sexy foreplay or not.
>Following cycle
idk if I can do that, because I use the pill to skip my periods. Like I have maybe one, 2 max a year. Haven't had one since like, December of 15? So I'm not sure if I can accurately gauge where I am unless I can do so with accuracy just based on which pill I'm on in the month. But since I skip the week of sugar pills and just move onto the next pack I'm not sure that's accurate.

>>17570994
That doesn't sound like a good sign usually lol. But if she's the shy type then I can dig it. Then swap numbers, but if she doesn't respond to you ever don't keep spamming her with texts. Take the hint.

>>17571009

>That doesn't sound like a good sign usually

i'm hopeful because it's exactly how i "approached" girls until fairly recently

>>17570031
>>17570106
>>17570177
>>17570319
Thanks for the replies, I have more insight on now. Yeah I'm probably a bit too serious about this
since I'm inexperienced in, but it's still hard to imagine myself with someone I've barely met. If we had a good convo before they asked like >>17570319 then I'd probably be a bit more up for, but that has yet to happen so

>>17570965
Just take note of it. Next time you get pissed off, remind yourself how you looked back on this situation. Not just because it was her sick friend, but she's right, five minutes with a notification is no big deal and she shouldn't feel like she should walk on egg shells to not set you off.

There's little you can do other than keeping track of similar impatience/hotheadedness in the future and trying to curb it and learn to recognize it.

why do women not like cooking anymore? is it because it's not fashionable?

>>17570623
>How do I EXTREMELY SUBTLY hint a guy that he should ask me out?
You don't because guys have the perception of bricks. The subtler you are, the more likely it is that he'll never notice the slightest thing. What you want to have done, can't be done.

>>17570345
Average is 5.5 inch, so don't worry of your rockin somthing bigger/smaller.
Only girls who are size queens would consider it a deal breaker.

>>17571005
>I'm just going to tell him to get it in one way or another and I'll be fine as soon as I realize "Oh, this is not a big deal at all I'm a huge fucking baby" and I'll relax.
not the other poster, but this is a perfect recipe to have a bad time.
you have to be relaxed and comfortable before, or else it's going to hurt as hell.

>>17571099
It IS fashionable, but it takes a lot of practice time before really paying off. Learning how to cook isn't about being able to follow a recipe, it's about knowing how to correct mistakes, how to tell whether it's going too fast or slow, knowing when which vegetables are in season and thus tastier and how to prepare different cuts of meat.

If you're starting out cooking you will get lucky successes, but if something goes wrong you will typically have no clue what you fucked up or how you could have spotted the mistake, corrected it etc. Plus it is often time consuming because when you are starting out you don't know how to time things and multitask so you will typically do things one after the other, you don't have a routine way of cutting and so on.

It basically boils down to cooking being a high effort high reward hobby if you're still learning. Nowadays many people grow up in homes with two parents who cannot really cook well and rely heavily on microwaving etc, which means they never get as much as a steady basis to work with. This makes cooking intimidating, unclear ("what did I do wrong now??"), time consuming, and often disappointing (because it's not as good as when you had in while dining out... obviously). That isn't new in itself, but it used to be so that you just couldn't get around cooking, so you would grow up already learning stuff and having a frame of reference. Now when you CAN avoid making full homemade meals, many people do and learning how to cook from scratch seems even more daunting (and a bit unnecessary as well).

Stop coming here just to shit post and abuse people. Work on your own life, without resorting to anonymous bullying

I dont have issues asking random people for directions etc.. but when i watch a girl and she watches back i feel fear to smile, do you know of any mental trick to get over this fear?

>>17571116
thats the thing though, I never will be relaxed and comfortable. It's just not going to happen, I do it to myself all the time, work myself up over something stupid and then when it just happens I realize it's no big deal and can have fun with it from there on out.
It's going to hurt no matter what I do, I will never get to a point where I'm not absolutely terrified of the unknown. My options are have a shitty first time or no first time at all. Every time afterward will be fine, just gotta get the crap outta the way. This is just how I function, the unknown freaks me out so much I can't get around it, but once the unknown is known I'll be completely chill. I don't care about having a bad time, because the one bad time just means I can start having good times for the rest of my life.

Going to ask for the number of a classmate tomorrow. We've already introduced ourselves today and it seems we'll have a chance to talk more tomorrow. Also I'll ask if she's free this weekend, hopefully she'll want to hang out.

Anyway, whenever a chance comes up of inviting her to some plans (saying it in the "Hey I'm going to X, you should come" way), would it be weird if I straight up called her instead of texting?

I'm very bored of the texting game but it seems most people nowadays just expect texts. What if I call when she can't pick it up?

Gonna ask out a girl that I'm 95% sure is into me.
"so do we naturally get along this well as friends or should I ask you out?"
Can this work as how I do it or does it sound too cringey?

>>17571198
Cringe. Just fucking ask her out, not her permission to ask her out

Guy here
I feel like I can't respect people who dress stupid. By my standards, most women today dress really stupid. More women than men at least.
Does this make me a mysoginist?

>>Where do I meet girls/guys?
>Anywhere outside. Or online.
Take this stupid shit the fuck out of the opener. You cannot meet anyone just anywhere outside. Especially if you're a dude.

If you think this is true you haven't been paying attention, and continuing the myth like this has unobvious longterm consequences. You shouldn't be surprised that MGTOW exists with how poorly the new generation has been armed for the rapidly changing scene they're in.

I have started no less than 5 threads asking about where to meet people in public, and none of you have ANYTHING that doesn't involve drinking and/or having wingmen.

Argue if you can.
Make me feel stupid, if you can.

>>17569892
>>Someone has made it super clear they're no longer interested in me. Do I still have a chance?
>No.
Oh and this is dumb too. You can't treat this like it's always true. I assume a hamplanet wrote this.

I've heard from plenty of husbands who spoke about how often they bugged their current wife until getting that first date. I've heard "They want you to bug em" verbatim.

So as long as that ever happened, don't put this in the OP.

>>17570496
>>17570504
>>17570511
When was the last time you were in the position where you had to do this?

Coldcalling strangers in places they have to be like this is impossible.

Give better advice.

>>17571218
The trick is this.

Not good:
>"Women with bad fashion choices are usually unintelligent"
>"Women make more bad fashion choices than men because they are genetically inferior"
>"There is nothing of value in a woman who dresses poorly"

Fine:
>"I don't understand why someone would dress like that."
>"It gives off a bad impression to dress like that."
>"I am not a fan of that style of dress"

Best:
>Not spending your energy gossiping about other people's clothing choices like a teenage girl.

If someone presses you about why you're not interested in a girl, just say "She's not my type"
If they keep pressing, just shrug and say, "I don't know, I'm just not into her."
If they bring up specifically how she dresses, just say, "It's not really my style" or "Yeah, I'm not really into that look."

>>17571235
We put that up because we are tired and bored of people asking that question. Oftentimes they are from people who never leave the house and make no effort to meet new people.

Get outside, see your local events, check out local hobby classes, volunteer. Do things that make you interact with other people.

>>17571245
Also we don't want to hear people's dumb stories about being rejected. It's a case by case. We DON'T KNOW.

Everything in the OP is just stuff we're tired of answering.

However, the way you dress gives alot of insight into who you are and what your personality shifts towards (this is true for both genders).

If you dress like an idiot, people will think you are.

if you dress cleanly and look well taken care of, your image will give you more credit when you speak.

Thats just the way it works, however if you're just pointing this out to one specific gender, it could be a sign of chauvinistic behavior

literally just be apart of something, a club, hobby shop events, a friends group that goes out every so often, etc.

If you can't do that, there's not a girl on planet earth that's going to give you a second glance. They want SOCIAL guys as a base trait.

If you can't socialize and just learn to talk to people, you're screwed for life beyond just the dating world mang.

>>17571295
Good point, thanks. Well in my case I kind of hate the current fashion trends. Almost all girls my age dress the same, with tall platform shoes and black leggings and other stuff. I'm sure no one thinks they dress stupid because it's the current trend but I find it cringy. People dressed way better imo in the last decade.
I feel the same about a certain haircut that's becoming popular among guys but it's not that common.

>>17571295
By saying "However", I don't know if you're arguing with my answer or agreeing with me.

Because I agree with you.
But there's a difference between acknowledging that a style of dress gives off a certain impression, and lazily assuming that everyone with that style can be pigeon holed into a stereotype.

>>17571218
I'll also add that one reason why you might be seeing it more with girls than guys, is because girls have a wider variety of styles to wear. They have more to fuck up. They're also expected to dress more interestingly.

>>17571317
I'm curious, how old are you and where are you located? I don't really see girls like that.
This is coming from someone in their early twenties in the American Pacific Northwest.

>>17571317
Following a fashion trend means they're more of a follower than someone who thinks for themselves, so perhaps you're not into women who can't be their own person.

there's always exceptions to the rules, so risking a conversation can only help you. It'll be fairly easy to tell the idiots from the smart ones within the first 5 minutes

>>17571323
just adding on to the list you started, i agree with your statements, but i couldn't think of a way that would open up a post nicely with a good flow.

>>17571332
Argentina, I'm 23. Also there's this trend now of wearing leggings that have a cut on each knee (that naturally doesn't stay in place when they move their legs as they walk). Literally wtf.

>We put that up because we are tired and bored of people asking that question.
Well fuck you, we're tired and bored of you never answering it. You answer a question properly, it doesn't get asked again.

>Get outside, see your local events, check out local hobby classes, volunteer. Do things that make you interact with other people.
Okay if this is the answer your truly feel in your heart, why isn't THAT in the OP instead? But since this advice is garbage I'll go into why.

>local events
Suppose there aren't any. Suppose the place you live in (and will be living in for the foreseeable future) fits the definition of podunk rather snugly. And the 'event' happens once a year. Is that really the window?

>local hobby classes
>volunteer
These are not places where you'll be meeting a wide variety of people. And suppose, just suppose, all of the people there are taken. If that sounds unlikely, don't think it sounds unlikely. Never think that again. Think of that as the most likely scenario of all.

Everyone is taken. "Well now you can learn a skill." We had the internet for that already, fuck your silver-line championing.

>Do things that make you interact with other people.
Give more examples than those two things. Do it.

>>17571274
So you put up (or defend putting up) a false answer because you're sick of the question? You stupid fucking idiot?

>>17571312
I'm an artist, and there is one meetup place in this entire area code for that sort of thing. Just the one. Not a single girl there in my age range (that wasn't morbidly obese) that didn't have a ring on.

Thanks

Girls, my friend's dads are hawt, theyre so attractive they make me burn up when we have dinner or go out to games and stuff with their parents
Its just two of them, but it makes me so uncomfortable
I never do anything but stare and blush but it drives me crazy
How do I deal with this? Seriously? I thought stupid girl crushes were supposed to die as you got older, not intensify

Ladies, why does my GF touch herself when im sleeping next to her. Like I would try to initiate, but she would blow me off, then hours later shes going at it.

Its happening more and more. I confront her about it and she just deny's it and says she wouldnt do that. Then when she thinks im asleep, she goes right back to it.

As far as im aware, sex is frequent (3 - 5 times a week) and she seems satisfied after every time.

What do?

>>17571352

What is you fucking problem. It is good short answer where do you want to go and meet people is entirely up to you. I would go solo to dance club or bar and just talk to people who seem available or something. Hell I met and fucked girl when i was just walking about aimlessly.

If you want more specific answer then ask question don't be an idiot here.

For example explain where you live and what places can you go to. If you don't know how to behave in those and meet people ask that as well. Just add context to your question don't just ask question that is already answered.

You obviously haven't been around ATOGA for long.

Cause I didn't make the OP.

Well shucky darn, looks like we can't make sweeping statements about communities.

>suppose, just suppose, all of the people there are taken.
Have you tried or are you just shooting yourself in the foot before you start?
If you have, sounds like you need to get out of podunk. If someone is living in a population of 30, there is no advice we're gonna give you.

>So you put up (or defend putting up) a false answer because you're sick of the question?
Yes. Because I didn't make the OP, and because people were coming in to say, "well lemme give you aaaalll the details of my situation, maybe then you'll know!"

Sometimes it's easier to masturbate than to have sex. I can get myself off in less than five minutes. I don't have to worry about someone else's orgasm, I don't get sweaty, I don't have to move any more muscles than my wrist.
Are you satisfied by how often you're having sex?

Sounds like she's lying because she's worried that you're taking it personally. Not that that excuses lying, but that might be her motivation.

>>17571416
I agree with this anon. Sometimes it's nice to get off and only have to worry about yourself

>>17571407
>It is good short answer where do you want to go and meet people is entirely up to you.
No it isn't. People suggest libraries and bookstores, which sound good until you actually try them and then realize the person who suggested it, never did, because girls don't come alone to these places ever.
>I would go solo to dance club or bar and just talk to people who seem available or something.
No public transportation in the area. No option to drink and then legally leave these places. Also dance clubs suck (and you knew it before you suggested it.)

What advice are giving to that large chunk of people that enjoy quiet and relaxed environments and frankly loathe the opposite?

Most of the suggestions you gave after this were either contradicted by the 'no alcohol, no wingmen' thing, weren't viable for specific reasons, or didn't gel with the likes of hating loud obnoxious areas. But I'd like to respond to the particularly stupid ones so you never suggest them to anyone again.

>Tinder. etc
Girl right? You'd have to be. You can't know how awful this suggestion is until you sign up as a dude. And this, to a lesser degree, goes for all online dating. Online dating is SHIT. Girls have more power here, and they had all the power before. People are written off for the most miniscule little things. Go look some of this shit up.

>Traveling to Videogame/Anime conventions.
Now why in the BLUE FUCK would you suggest this? That involves going far away. And whoever you're meeting, likely came from far away, but also far away from YOU. Online relationships are easy to get into, and these just started offline. Why would you suggest this? It's SO STUPID.

>Going to the next town over.
>Moving away from your godawful village.
Y'know, having money would probably have cured what ails me in a very different manner. Suggesting I get money, to cure it this way, is retarded.

Guess what dude? You're fucked. We can't hitch up everyone in the world. Just because your life fucking sucks doesn't mean that advice doesn't work for people who don't live in the earth's asshole.
Honestly. We don't care if you don't get a date. It's not our job. We try to help where we can, but we're not gonna go out of our way.

Sorry. Tough luck. Enjoy being a bitter, lonely old man.

>>17571473
Don't head into giving someone advice if someone can scratch a little at your surface and find you completely hollow.

Stick to topics you actually know more about.

>>17571453
>>17571473
Wait wait.

You have to own up to your particularly bad suggestions.

Defend Tinder or the convention thing.

You have to admit those were GARBAGE suggestions. And sometimes bad advice is worse than no advice because false hope explodes in the barrel.

>>17571441

>No it isn't. People suggest libraries and bookstores, which sound good until you actually try them and then realize the person who suggested it, never did, because girls don't come alone to these places ever.

You just talk out of your ass when you have no clue what reality is. Not every library is the same it depends on your location. I manged to meet some even in library.

>No public transportation in the area. No option to drink and then legally leave these places. Also dance clubs suck (and you knew it before you suggested it.)

What advice are giving to that large chunk of people that enjoy quiet and relaxed environments and frankly loathe the opposite?

Most of the suggestions you gave after this were either contradicted by the 'no alcohol, no wingmen' thing, weren't viable for specific reasons, or didn't gel with the likes of hating loud obnoxious areas. But I'd like to respond to the particularly stupid ones so you never suggest them to anyone again.

I just said that what I like to do personally and no it doesn't suck that is like best place to meet people, every one is happy and in right state of mind which means they are open so you can't go wrong there unlike in lets say library where girls go to study and you can bother them.
Going to dance club doesn't require drugs or wing man that is myth. I went alone plenty of times to know this as a cold fact.
quite and relaxed environments is tough indeed because you can't separate people like you can in loud and hectic place.
In your place I would probably chose bars and go to multiple places constantly and become regular so you meet staff and other people.

Best way to meet is not to actively chase girls specifically but go somewhere to have fun and meet people in general and opportunity will present it self. For example go to a bar to have a nice cold beer and listen to some music in cool environment be content with that and stuff might happen.

>>17571480
>>17571475

I said internet dating to be a little more rounded on how the original answer mentioned meeting people online.

I said conventions to balance against "how to meet people with like interests" and "no alcohol or dance clubs". I met my ex at a convention. I have no idea where you live so I don't know where the closest con is.

I still stick by doing things as a way to meet people. I got into my current relationship by doing an art project with someone who I met off of /soc/.

Yeah, the suggestions don't work for you. Because I can't see into your life and see everything that would work for you. I'm throwing random ideas out.

You consider hope to be dangerous and disappointing. How sad. And lazy. Because if you don't have hope for anything, you never have to try.

>>17571488
>I managed to meet some even in library.
And what gender are you?

Regardless the answer to this question, please tell me about the encounter in some measure of detail. And don't say there's no point in describing it. I'm sick of people just exclusively covering the broad strokes.

>Best way to meet is not to actively chase girls specifically but go somewhere to have fun and meet people in general and opportunity will present it self.
Everyone says that. But me not actively chasing girls, out in public, is a complete lie. That's why I would be out in public. What helps me towards a career, takes a lot of time. And it isn't even social in the least. Art is something that you can really only hone when you're completely alone. And what I find fun are extremely solitude-heavy activities. And when bookstores and libraries don't work, well, that's about all I had. I'm annoyed people talk about them as viable. (So again, please describe the library meetings in better detail)

Also because of this complete desert of prospects for years, I have never actually talked to a girl. In regards to coldcalling a complete stranger, I mean. They have to be alone for me to see it as a prospect, and they never are. That is the first of all requirements, at least for a beginner like me, and I never see it. So when people say 'the opportunity will present itself' I really don't know what they mean.

>For example go to a bar to have a nice cold beer
You've ALREADY forgotten what I said about no public transportation in my area? I will not be able to leave the bar without breaking the law. And frankly I'm surprised more people don't talk about this.

How do I ask a girl out? More specifically, what do I say?

I don't want to go on this giant, paragraph-long rant, almost, 'cuz that seems creepy, but I don't want to ask out of nowhere, because it seems weird, creepy, and rushed.

If it helps at all, I'm a high school senior, and the girl has been a friend of mine since freshman year. We've hung out (not alone, usually with at least 1-2 other people there), worked on group projects together, and we talk somewhat often.

I'm perfectly fine with talking to girls, so it's not an issue of confidence. I'm just extremely inexperienced when it comes to asking people out (>tfw socially awkward in middle school, so I don't have any past experience to work off of). I've asked my friends and shit for their opinions, but I want to see what you lot think.

Wat do, lol? Thanks in advance.

>>17571501
>You consider hope to be dangerous and disappointing.
When everyone tells you to go to college, and to look forward to college, and then your college savings are wiped out by a recession at the exact time you were about to start..

Yeah.

You get pretty skeptical about hope. And want people to explain things better before telling you to hope. Because it's a sickening feeling to get hopes up on false legs.

>>17571404
Ask if she can include you.

My girlfriend only gets off by herself. Im the first person she can masturbate by and has helped her get off. Usually I play with her nipples and dirty talk her while she does it.

>>17571525
>Hey, you got any plans for the weekend?
>I thought about going to xyz, would you like to join me?

>>17571525
"Hey! How's it going? What are you up to these days?"
"Oh yeah? That's cool. Yeah, I'm just doing xyz."
"Hey so, do you want to meet for coffee sometime? My treat. I'd love to catch up."

do people like rough sex / light bdsm nowadays bc it's so popular, especially in porn?

I used to think I'm into being "submissive" but my current bf is not into this stuff, at first I was a bit disappointed (he didn't even want to spank me properly), but now I'm really enjoying almost no power-play in sex, it just feels so loving and intimate

which makes me think, was I really that much into rough sex before? or was I just thinking I should be bc it's hot and "edgy"

are the people I know who are doing it really into it, or they just don't know the alternative?

>>17571522

Male of course. Well it is a bit cheesy but you asked for it. I went to library to study because I had no where else that day(reasons)and I was there for good 3 hours and there were like 3 other dudes then girl in full study gear came. At first i didn't thought much since it is fucking library but then i caught here looking at me and after that we kept exchanging glances(good luck studying like that). So I approached her and said that i have trouble studying she giggles ***FLAWLESS VICTORY***

>Everyone says that. But me not actively chasing girls, out in public, is a complete lie. That's why I would be out in public. >What helps me towards a career, takes a lot of time.

Everyone says that because it is best way. Look at it this way if you go out for specific reason to meet girl and you fail you get
very disappointed and feel like you wasted your time. When you are that focused on that you miss other stuff like talking to other people and increasing circle of people you can hang out with. It is VERY important to have fun that is best time to meet girls since you radiate confidence and people see you differently(remember dance clubs).

>>17571628

>You've ALREADY forgotten what I said about no public transportation in my area? I will not be able to leave the bar without breaking the law. And frankly I'm surprised more people don't talk about this.

Then brake the LAW if you have to, i do it. Learn where to drive and stuff it should be easy enough also maybe don't drink alcohol if you are that risk averse.

>>17571649
>Then brake the LAW if you have to,
Well fuck you.

Are there any signs which shows that girl is interested in you?

>>17571628
Wait.

Was this a college library.

>>17571660

>Well fuck you.

NO fuck you If I can brake the law why are you special snow flake.

>Wait.

>Was this a college library.

Nope it was in small town where I live there is no college but people come home on weekends and stuff.

>>17571628
>Look at it this way if you go out for specific reason to meet girl and you fail you get very disappointed and feel like you wasted your time
Well that is my only reason for going out there. And I do get very disappointed and do feel like I've wasted my time, trying to like something that is out there.

The fact that I don't like going out in public doesn't change the fact that I get lonely without company.

I can't enjoy being out in public. It's not something I like doing. And I'm not satisfied hearing "Well you're fucked."

>>17571704

So you don't have any friends right ?

>>17571724
Not in real life anymore. They all moved away at the same time in my last year of high school. (Most of them were slightly older than me)

And getting new ones since then didn't really happen after that. And it just sorta stuck that way.

Plenty of online friends, but of course they can't help.

>>17571624
>do people like rough sex / light bdsm nowadays bc it's so popular, especially in porn?
>was I just thinking I should be bc it's hot and "edgy"

That's kind of a near bullseye. Part of sex is the physical pleasure you get from it, but the majority of what makes sex so pleasurable is actually the mental aspect of it.

It's the imagined scenarios, the taboos, and unrestrained fantasies that can elevate sex beyond just two people fucking to make it something transcendental and pure ecstasy.

Fetishes and sexual fantasies have existed LONG before our time and across countless cultures and time periods. People have long since viewed sex as a way to unleash their wildest desires and primal instincts, and act without any of the inhibitions and modestly our notions of civility and community have forced on us.

>are the people I know who are doing it really into it, or they just don't know the alternative?
They're partly doing it BECAUSE they think it's the alternative.

Like I hinted at earlier, sex is about chasing excitement and fantasy, and part of what excites some is to think that what they're doing is a little bit deviant from the norm and unique.

For you in your current relation, I guess in a way it could be said that you're kind of experiencing an opposite backlash, where the sub/dom stuff became the norm to you, and now that you've experienced something so intimate and novel, it's totally enrapturing you... capturing your imagination and making you fantasize in a new direction...

I've honestly seen similar reactions from some of my partners (because my default is kind of an intense and slowly intimate love making rather than violent/domineering) and so your reaction isn't something I can't understand or seems uncommon. But I've also had people not like that style before

Ultimately though, who gives a fuck. People are free to have their own preferences and fantasize as they will, and as long as no ones getting hurt, that's entirely their business.

>>17571746

Maybe you should try to find some people to hang out with this might be vital for your success. Going to public place with someone is ten fold easier when you have someone to go with.

How are you doing on FB?

>>17571775
>How are you doing on FB?
Meh. Distant friends and family.

How do I know a girl likes me? I've been talking to a girl I find cute, and while we has some good first time conversations, she hasn't responded to my texts lately and she doesn't seem incredibly thrilled to see me in person. She is single, though I haven't told her how I feel yet. Is it too late?

>>17571949
>She is single, though I haven't told her how I feel yet. Is it too late?
>told her how I feel

Unless you're in middle school, just ask her out on a coffee/dinner date or something.

Worst cast she says no (or a round about no--I.E. a non committal response along the lines of "maybe another time") and you have your answer.

>>17571235
As someone who actually wrote and revised half of the FAQ on multiple occasions.

it's the condensed responses to shit that I got tired of seeing asked over and over and over despite being answered and ad nauseam (For example, "would you date a virgin" was asked literally every week, so was "is my penis big enough" They're BOTH still asked in spite of being in the FAQ but it's less.).

The other half of it is shit that I just don't want to see asked again by certain types of individuals, because they aren't ever satisfied by any answer ever given and are just looking to create spam/take over the thread/feel less lonely/cry/whatever the fuck, and they do this REPEATEDLY.

Which is exactly why things like 'someone did something insignificant", interpret this for me, and Brandon are on there (I didn't actually add these but I reworded some and got why they're in there).

Because no matter how many different people respond, the question creator just cries that any advice given is useless and that it doesn't apply to them, and blah blah blah--often making it clear that what they ACTUALLY want is to drum up drama, NOT get advice; and on top of that, even if they were here for the advice, what they actually need isn't advice from internet strangers, but real, PROFESSIONAL help to deal with a litany of other, MUCH more serious and deep rooted issues.

Girls: do you ever get depressed days after having sex?

>>17572020
>inaccurate.

They are incredibly accurate.

If you want more PRECISE and COMPREHENSIVE answers, start another thread (which it looks like you did) and stop spamming this one.

Come to think of it, the first iterations of the FAQ actually were a lot more precise. If I had my druthers they'd be less succinct and acerbically toned (other people edit them too), but there's a character limit and as more and more things got added to the FAQ, less details could be contained. Now it's more a guidelines of what DOESN'T belong in here.

The opposite gender thread--by it's nature--is a short format back and forth Q&A deal, not a long format exhaustive discussion thread. Do those in your own threads, not in here--you will just be ignored.

Girls (and guys really):

There is this girl I met about 4 or 5 years ago. She is a singer, I play guitar, and we used to play music together when we first met. She threw herself at me one night because she wanted to break up with her boyfriend and I didn't go for it because I knew she had a boyfriend (what a fag).

Now our paths have crossed again by strange chance. She wants to start playing music together again. Seeing her now is like picking up where we left off and I still like her even though I havent thought about her in years. I'm pretty sure she feels the same, giving me eyes and laughing at stupid shit I say that isnt funny.

Problem is she has a boyfriend again. I want to make a move but I dont want to be a scumbag, also I actually do want to play music with her. She's cool and I dont think she'd make a big deal about it or be weird if she rejected me, but idk. I was thinking of telling her something like 'I know you have a boyfriend, but if you're ever single and you want to have some fun, let me know'

Good idea or no? I dont want to play games and I want to get it all out there.

If you saw an e-mail from your ex in your inbox would you read it?


I'm not sure if I should just bin it without reading. The break-up was like a month ago and quite one-sided.

If shes willing to cheat on other people she's willing to cheat on you. Enjoy your stds she won't tell you she has.
>>17571661
Theres no such thing as universal, but I'd say generally a "almost completely universal" sign is light intimate touches. She leans against you, puts her head on your shoulder, playfully swats your hand or chest, these are good signs. Honestly the only type of women I see doing these moves on people they arent interested in are just attention seeking feminist whores. They're a rare minority since they hardly leave their parents basements and tumblr though, so 9.9/10 grills who do this are genuine in the fact they dig you.
There's no reason to touch someone you don't like.

>>17572355
Relationship route- Ask her out.
Casual fuck route- Go in for the cuddle/kiss.

>>17570630
>Arms crossed
That's a universal no-no sign ya know

>>17570477
Talk to her for a couple of minutes before you get into class. 9/10 this leads to her sitting next to you in class with the conversation still flowing, which leads to leaving the class still talking to each other, which leads to sitting somewhere and talking while you wait for the next class.

I met a girl and we have been going out a lot, in the 10 days we have known each other we have gone out 5 times, we have also kissed but not made out, just a hi and bye acknowledgement

I'd like to put a label on this and just make her my gf so we can start hanging out even more and have sex with each other

how do I go about this?

>>17572612
>I'd like to put a label on this and just make her my gf so we can start hanging out even more and have sex with each other
Are you saying that people only hang out and having sex when they're officially in a relationship?

I want to have gushy passionate feelings asap though

it's weird if I'm a mush and we aren't together

Keep in mind though that after a mere 10 days and 5 meetings though, your chances of not creeping her out are slim.

idk I'll be honest with you, I've had like, 3-4 serious boyfriends before and not once was I ever asked in those words to "be his girlfriend". The title usually just came naturally after we had been "dating" for some time.
Frankly, I'd just keep hanging out with her. If you aren't already, specifically refer to your meetings as dates so there's no air of ambiguity. And then after a few official dates maybe ask to be "official". That might be a little less cringy than "b my gf plz"

>>17572701

either gender:

This is really weird. I try to go for average looking girls and they don't respond well to me. For some odd reason I get the attention of hot girls and they want me. Im insecure though, I can talk to hot girls just fine, i cant pull the trigger.

Im depressed because Im in college and never even been on a date and im graduating soon. It's really depressing I ask myself why and i just repeat to myself i dont know. Im really insecure about my looks though, I dont let anyone photograph me and argue with family when they try to.

well. i just started college and never even been on a date, but i have a bit more confidence because old friends and family tell me i've been improving a lot

i just need to loose a little bit more weight apparently i unconsciously started doing something called "intermittent fasting" and that made me lose a lot of weight without even noticing

ok i have a really little and stupid problem but it's starting to bother me

so my life is pretty good right now, im 19,i moved to a new city to study, i got my own place, i got really good friends, im doing well at school

but i have no chemistry with the girl i like, i already tried everything, i even told her my feelings, and i couldn't even get a solid reaction out of her

on top of that i don't think i like her personality, she is very indecisive and overly nice to a point where it feels fake, but a part of me still likes her because her smile makes me dumb

so i really need to move on, but my school is little and i don't like any of the other girls there

fortunately, i got 3 completely free days right now, so i can go out to wherever i want

what are some good places to meet girls outside ?

next week a friend will take me to an acting class,so i hope i can meet a nice girl there

Girl I was seeing went back to college. Shit was good before she left. We were doing great. Said we'd miss each other while she was gone (2 hour drive), but she said we'd probably see each other soon anyways. It's been a couple weeks and I haven't been able to visit her, she's been getting tons of homework apparently.

Anyways I was just texting her today and asked her how her week was, of course, she inquired the same. I answered and told her I miss her, and also asked her something else to move the conversation along. She totally ignored the "I miss you though," and answered the question.

Is it safe to say she doesn't miss me? Probably doesn't want me to visit either.

I can't believe this phrase is going to come out of my mouth, but suck it up and take the hot chicks man. Idk what the hell your issue is, wah hot chicks are showing interest in me and uggos aren't? If they're paying attention to you then they're at least somewhat interested.
Your options are get a hot chick and power through your dumb insecurity, or die alone. Your pick. Damn most people in your situation are having to suck it up just to get an average/ugly chick.

Do people actually think older kids are precious? I was at work and my coworker's kid (11 years old) came up to our little shop we have for staff and visitors. She asked me if it cost money and I said yes. She just stands there, sighing and gazing into the distance, talking about how she wishes it was free and how she wants candy, telling me she lives Snickers bars. Then I leave and someone else is by the shop and she comes back, asking if everything costs money, and then why everything costs money, then listing the candy bars she wishes she could have and how she wants them so so much. How they are her favorite, and she's so hungry.

Everyone at work was like aw, how precious! What a cutie! I told this to my parents bc we were talking about something relevant and they also had this reaction. I just found her grating, annoying and manipulative bc she was 11 not 3. Am I a cunt? Should I not have kids?

Idk mate, as an overthinker myself, you just have to be aware that you're overthinking and not vocalize it. Or you'll ruin it. Work on something else, put your gf out of your mind for a bit. Cool off period so to speak. See if that clears your head and makes you think more rationally.

Guys complaining about >nogf: Why don't you just go and ask 10,000 girls out if it bothers you that much? If you ask out 100+girls statistically you're going to get some bites provided you dont have a head shaped like a baguette

>>17572949

uh does this actually work?

I see girls I would love to date every single day on campus, but I feel like I can't just interrupt them in the middle of the day and ask for their number.

>>17572955
>uh does this actually work?
Would NOT asking them out work?

>>17572922
>What are your alltime favorite dishes?
Sushi, I love fish dishes in general.
>Dessert?
Probably brownies
>What OS are you using now?
Like my phone? Android, got dat blackberry priv.
>Do you go to church?
Nah. I wish I could be religious, I can see how it can be so comforting. But I just can't get myself to believe any of it, I kinda envy those who do though.
>What kind of wood should I use for my bookshelves?
Not a clue. Sturdy wood.
>Gym
Fit, as in muscular, isn't my aesthetic really so I avoid the gym. I keep thin by strict diet. Work off every calorie I put in, but also try to keep the muscle mass down. It's a struggle since it contradicts itself, so usually I just eat very little so I don't need much gym time. Been doing under 300 a day for about a year now, sometimes I fast a day inbetween.

>>17572945
I'll try. Thanks.

>>17572955
Just talk to every single girl that you find attractive (within reasonable means, don't just pull over on the side of the road whenever you see a hottie, and don't literally go from hottie to hottie if you see like 6 of them in close proximity)

Talk to a hot girl a day.
Then once you've gotten a bit more confidence, ASK OUT a hot girl a day.

This, I got kinda excited because this dude I used to talk to that shot me down in the past contacted me wanting to hang out again. Talked to my friend about it and she was like "Oh, yeah he sent me the exact same message. Must have just mass messaged a bunch of people"
>Felt bad man.

>>17572955
>does this work
In a few ways, not exactly the way you're thinking. But for starters, you'll gain confidence because you'll realize girls aren't this sp00ky scary thing you've made them out to be. You'll realize that hot girls are more open than the movies make them out to be because they aren't used to guys just walking up and talking to them. And lastly and most importantly, you'll be desensitized to rejection, because you'll get rejected ALOT

follow up, if you go up to a stranger and compliment her on her hair or something as an icebreaker does that work

I've always wanted to tell some of the redhead girls I see how nice their hair is.

I know. I just want to one day feel like I'm a prize to go for, not just one of the many chicks you mass messaged because you don't particularly care which one responds.
>mfw I did anyway like a cuck
Guess I'd rather be one of the masses than nothing at all. Being special to someone's just a Disney fairytale anyway.

>>17572982
People on here will tell you thats creepy. But another girl I know is dating her bf because he walked up and complimented her on her eyes.

It comes down to, go do it a bunch of times and look at their reactions. The good thing about approaching girls is when you're rejected you can take it as an experiment/intelligence gathering rather than a blow to your fragile ego.


So? Go do it, try it a few times, gauge their reactions and adjust your approach accordingly

>>17572989
Honestly I'd say it has a lot to do with phrasing too. Hardly anyone but stuck up shits get offended by a genuinely nice compliment. But there's a stark difference between "Hey baby nice tits" and "You look lovely today, have a good one!" or "I like your shirt, I love that band too" or "Your hair is such a beautiful color, I'm kinda jealous".

>>17572988
>Being special to someone's just a Disney fairytale anyway.

Well, yes and no. People DO love and care about their significant others, just not in the disney unconditional love at first sight kind of way.


You'll probably be someones prize one day, I mean MOST people do find a significant other.

>>17572995
yeah I suppose, but there are plenty of people who die alone too. Idk, I just find it hard to believe I'd ever be special to someone mass texting every girl in his phone book. But idk I'm doing it anyway because it's the only ounce of interest anyones shown in me in 5 years

>>17573002
well you probably wont be special to him unless you guys both go through a near death experience together (Don't go getting any ideas now you crazy ass)

hate to break it, you aint his special gal. And he's probably not your special guy seeing as you just admitted you only like him because hes the only person to show interest in you

>>17572961
Ive never made a fish dish before, I dont really like the beach desu

Pls dont tell me youre phonepostin haha

>Been doing under 300 a day
Calories?! What do you do as a workout?

>>17573005
True, idk I've hit that special low of desperation where I can't even tell my feelings anymore. Like I feel like I like him, but another part of me wants to question if I actually like him or if I only like him because he (supposedly) likes me.

And the shitty part about desperation is that it's only cure is to get back in the game. But we all know that the more desperate you are, the more you repel people. It's a vicious disease.

no matter how eager they are to see me, my female friends will almost never initiate hanging out

what's going on with that?

>>17573010
Fish is pretty easy. Used to grill tilapia with a little lemon butter and some pepper. Delicious.

Not at the moment lol. Guess I forgot mac was a thing though, I was like "Well what the fuck other operating system is there other than windows, so he's gotta be talking about phones."

300 calories. I either try to eat only that amount, or if I eat more I work off the difference. Preferably I'd be balancing out to zero at the end of the day but I mean I'm already doing this pretty extremely so whatever. I just use my treadmill at home because I get gym anxiety real bad. Too fat to be in there with all the other fit junkies. I've always said I don't like being fat in public.
I go to the pool and swim laps sometimes too, usually during off hours so there aren't many people there. But that's got its own downside because I don't like how the lifeguards watch me intently. There's just nobody else for them to watch over though so I don't blame em, still makes me anxious tho.

>>17572940
I've been working out, would recommend. Gives you an ass and definition looks great. If you buy a kettlebell and one of those pullup things for your door you can work every muscle at home. I do it in my underwear. On bodybuilding.com they list exercises by the tools you need, and muscle groups, you can filter them. Just gotta make sure to push yourself and buy some protein

>>17573032
Some people are initiators some arent. If it bugs you find new friends or just play chicken with them to see how important you are to them. But be prepared for the negative result, I did this too but it just ended with me having much fewer friends and realizing I was never all that important to any of them.

Girls(and dudes with experience), how can I be less anxious and shy around women my age in general?

Practice practice practice. You just gotta do it. Fail faster, then you can improve.
If you've got really shit self esteem, you can start with chicks you don't even find attractive, but aren't repulsive either. That way if you get a negative response, oh well who cares you didnt want them anyway.

>>17573038
I've decided to play chicken with the less responsive friends, but keep on as normal with the ones who seem to look most forward to hanging out. Originally was only talking about female friends but same goes for my male friends too

>>17573058
Do what though?

I go to a community college with lots of chicks if that helps.

>>17573018
Why dont you just hit the gym or something.

>>17573108
well let me point out the obvious, that you clearly cant see the obvious.

>HURR DO WHAT
>IM SURROUNDED BY GIRLS
well, talk to them you dense dense dense mother fucker

>>17573110
I don't think that would solve anything at all? I mean I'm not a dude, I'm not gonna get your testoserone rush or anything.
I'm just gonna go, get sweaty, probably judged for being too un/fit/ to step foot in their home, and leave feeling tired and like shit. And at the end of the day, I'll still be sleeping alone.

>>17573124
no you don't get it. doing cardio releases endorphin's that in turn make you more confident. You obviously lack confidence see: post on 4chan on the advice board.

It's basically r9k for girls

>>17573129
Eh, it's never done it for me before. I do what I have to to keep the whale off me but I've never once felt good or confident after running. Just a lot of wheezing, sweat, and a couple times vomiting.

>>17573114
I still have that screencap where the guy tried to pick up chicks every single day for months fresh in my mind, so I couldn't tell you weren't suggesting that.

How do I avoid being a creep though?

>>17573140
By just doing it and learning from it. The guy who failed a gazillion times obviously learned absolutely nothing. You're going to fail an insane amount, but you'll get better at handling rejection and you'll learn what not to do, and what to do. By gauging reactions

>>17573132
fair, then LONDON!?

>>17573148
I'm going to be here until mid next year and even though thousands of people go there every day it's not that big of a campus.

Worried that would be shitting where I eat

>>17573168
well two choices: Exhaust your entire selection of women, and possibly get some or get nothing.

Or don't even try and definitely get nothing.

Ive been going down the hall (dorm) to this girls room to chat a few times. I always sit in the bed, and she sits in a chair across from me.
How would I go about escalating anything? I'm at a loss. Everything seems so awkward

>>17573182
Idk given the state of the election maybe moose fucking and frostbite ain't all that bad. I mean there's always Tim's right.

>>17573189
she's purposefully sitting across you. And seeing as everything is considered rape on campus all you can do is convey your feelings verbally (even tho that might be considered rape too)

>>17573189
Escalate to what? What is your goal? If you're trying to get physical, she's not into it, or she'd be on the bed too.

>>17573190
hit up jayocaine1 on skype if you ever want to come moosefuck

>>17573173
You're kinda telling the trikey to go from 0 to 80 but I like the practice idea so I guess I could do that and make smalltalk with x number of girls. Even that makes me nervous though.

>>17573189
Maybe try sitting on the chair? Then she'll sit on the bed.
Then you can move to sit next to her. She won't move away. Because of the implication.

That's when you make your move.

>>17572955
>I feel like I can't just interrupt them in the middle of the day and ask for their number.
I want to double down on this. The few women I am friends with often complain about how guys bug them in public when they want to be left alone, so I always refrained from doing so.

my gf used to be a healthy weight but shes told me in the past she didnt like the attention, anyway shes fat now and i guess shes talked herself into it, and she eats pretty poorly even when im around, and i dont think she wants to change

is there anything i can do here?

If a girl has rejected you in the past by saying yes to your date, and later on saying she's really sorry, but she only sees you as a friend right now and you shouldn't expect much of the date since she's in a situation where her ex cheated recently and made her feel like shit, can this be taken literally or somewhat as the truth?

Like, she seemed like she was willing to go out with me still, but not really a date at that point. I told her the day before I can't and she seemed sort of disappointed.

I dunno, to hear yes and later on hear that she can't made me feel like shit, so I haven't contacted her first since May. She's messaged me a couple times, she's seen me on campus once or twice and we talked for like 15 minutes alone. She just asked me what was up, why I didn't do anything over the summer etc.

It's just, I dunno, I can't move on. I know I need to, I know I should, but I can't. I barely see her anymore, she barely texts me first and never did before this summer, but she's ALWAYS on my mind.

I wanna believe there's some "second chance" in the making and I'd be lying if I said some stuff she did seemed normal. We had a class or w/e together and she sat in front of me with her friends, and she'd turn around randomly throughout lecture, smile and laugh, and then turn back around. I fucking asked what she was doing and all she did was smile bigger and look back.

Am I being stupid in limiting contact to only her initiating? Or like should I initiate very rarely?

And I do wanna stay friends, I don't have very many and she's sadly one of the closest friends I've ever made.

I wish I wasn't such a lonely loser.

for whoever: my boyfriend likes butt stuff. i want to work up to actually fucking him but i don't really know what i'm doing on that front. how does it work?

Went out with a girl a few times, but then she essentially told me she wasn't interested.

I felt that we really hit it off the few times we went out, so I'm worried that I said or did something to fuck it up. But I'm aware that maybe we went out a few times, but she just wasn't feeling it after the last time.

Is there a way to ask if I screwed something up, or to ask why she's not interested without sounding really desperate or creepy? I won't keep pursuing her if she's not interested, but I just want to know if I did something, so in case I find someone else, I don't make the same mistake again. Or if there was something about me that turned her off, so I can try to change it.

I've been friends with my boyfriend for 9yrs, been in a relationship with him for 9 months. Things are great, we live together and make a good team

Before we began a relationship, I didnt want children and we had discussed this. He agreed, he was indifferent to having children but has vocalised several times that he isn't having them.

So...lately, because of how much I love this person, I've been thinking about how nice it would be to have children with him. This isn't something I've felt before and I still don't feel ready, but I've definitely opened up to the possibility.

Should I speak to him about this, even though I'm not sure these feels are reliable? I know it's important to make your intentions clear as early as possible but I don't necessarily want children, I'm just becoming more attracted to the idea.

>>17573277
>nything i can do
abandon ship, anon
its probably already starting to sink under her weight anyway

>>17573409
I think it's worth bringing up and discussing for sure. Has he said recently that he still doesn't want any or was that way back when you first started dating?

>>17573277
>my gf used to be a healthy weight
was she healthy at that weight? was her diet shit back then, too?
>but shes told me in the past she didnt like the attention,
what a cop out.
>anyway shes fat now and i guess shes talked herself into it, and she eats pretty poorly even when im around, and i dont think she wants to change
correct. she wants to forever get bigger. in her head she actually has planned out her future in terms of her health related to her diet. she is one of those peoples that is waiting until they HAVE to change their diet, in order to function normally. people usually decide this in their early 20s.

sure, she will want to do something about it.
so she'll try various diets- which will only fuck up her body that much more.
and she will reward herself with sweet treats at the end of a week for losing 7lbs.
then she will start using more excuses such as still having room in her for 200 calories, so she drinks a beer.
>is there anything i can do here?
jump ship

>>17573281

legit excuse. still a cop out.
>Like, she seemed like she was willing to go out with me still, but not really a date at that point. I told her the day before I can't and she seemed sort of disappointed.
if i am reading this right, you flaked first, then she flaked on you the next day?
IF this is the case: she is now playing a game.
>She's messaged me a couple times, she's seen me on campus once or twice and we talked for like 15 minutes alone. She just asked me what was up, why I didn't do anything over the summer etc.
she still has solid interest in you. she's trying to make sense of things more, she needs to gather more information so that she can confirm her knowledge is legitimate. she also has the pressure of her friends around her- how she markets herself within the group.
>It's just, I dunno, I can't move on. I know I need to, I know I should, but I can't. I barely see her anymore, she barely texts me first and never did before this summer, but she's ALWAYS on my mind.
she might be seeing other guys. you should start seeing other girls.
>randomly throughout lecture, smile and laugh, and then turn back around. I fucking asked what she was doing and all she did was smile bigger and look back.
she wants you to make more moves. she's obv comfortable around her girl friends. one on one time is still a whole nother story.
>Am I being stupid in limiting contact to only her initiating? Or like should I initiate very rarely?
i don't think so. this shows her that you are laid back and not needy in any ways.

>>17573296
dildo fuck the ass with a small dildo with lots of lube, every other day, for 30 minutes.
do this for a couple weeks or so, until he is comfortable to move up to a larger dildo you have bought. don't get anything dramatic. focus on dildos not vibrators. keep going up in size. if it can go larger than a dick, then taking dick won't be much of any pain, if that makes sense. anyways it really takes months to have Good anal.

>>17573393
don't contact her.
you are a "meh" guy, worth to her only a one night stand, at best. she associates this with [some] negativity.
also, your relationship with her isn't just your guises relationship. it's yours, hers, and allllll of her girl friends'.

Girls. I have an awkward habit of saying to people "I love you, bye" when I'm tired/half asleep and on the phone, often I can't remember doing it.

So my ex called after 3 years of silence, I can barely remember the call but remember saying I love you and bye. How awkward is this?

>>17573409
>Should I speak to him about this, even though I'm not sure these feels are reliable? I know it's important to make your intentions clear as early as possible but I don't necessarily want children, I'm just becoming more attracted to the idea..

People change their minds about things for capricious reasons all the time, and circumstances can further exacerbate that.

Your circumstances are currently different than they were before you were with him.

It's perfectly fine to re-open a subject that was once discussed, just to touch base and keep each other in the loop;

It's important to be open and communicative about major life decisions with your significant other--especially ones you have no concrete idea on--because if you can't do that with them, who else can you?

I know when we first started dating, my girlfriend and I were pretty adamant about not not seeing anyone else, and about the hypothetical borders of our relationship. A year in, we ended up talking about it again, and we ended up coming to the same conclusion--that while we weren't outright abhorred by the idea, neither of us was particularly interested in changing those lines nor certain we would be entirely comfortable with it. We had the exact same opinion basically, but it was still good to touch base and reaffirm that we were still on the same page.

And we still do this from time to time about other various things.

There is never harm in talking things out.

The only time such communications can be a bad thing is when someone sits on something for a prolonged period of time, and then drops a bombshell in the middle of a discussion. Like for example, if you kept quiet about this with him all the way thinking you didn't want children, until one day you just out of the blue suddenly bomb-shelled him with an overemotional, "I want to have a baby"

>>17573409
no. if you bring it up now you are presenting this information to him as your agenda. you want to gather more information so that you can be sure you can lean in one direction, rather balancing out both ideas/paths at the same time, figuring out which one you will drop first.

also, 9 months isn't very long in comparison to how long you've been friends with him. yours and his intentions and ideas pertaining to you two's relationship could change within just another 9 months.

do you like the idea of just having kids?
or do you also like the idea of being at home?

>>17573189
don't think nothin of it. wait it out and ignore that idea for now. you need to see her making moves.

>>17573461
dude you purposely do that to people and you are still trying to convince yourself that it is completely sub-conscious.

>>17573477
