Her previous Sex Life
1699667043194061
How do I deal with knowing that a girl I'm seeing has had a history with other men? Especially when I know how one of them looks like.
She still has him tagged deep within her Instagram story highlights, and they were hanging out for at least a year together. But something must have happened because they don't follow each other anymore.
Should I just ignore that and focus on her? Easier said than done. She kind of disgust me now, to be honest. Maybe I can keep her as a fuck-buddy? Please help

Back when Omegle was still around, I used to try to find girls on there to be my girlfriend.

Most of them would laugh at me and even call me loser cause I approached them.

Almost like they couldn't believe someone would be trying to find a date on there. And then they'd laugh.

Why would they do this?

Am thinking about going the military route but if MEPS denies me then my plan from there is to literally kill myself.

Am I valid for wanting to kms? Should I do it?

Don't give me some christian nonsense of christ will accept me, don't call me a troon, or
try to say it isn't that bad.

Pic is me, one pic I am lifting up arms somewhat so it shows better (might look asymmetrical but it's not)
None of the PE stuff is on medical record so MEPS couldn't fuck me on it.

Okay here goes: I met a girl online through a shared interest in 4chan back in 2019. Things were going great at first, felt like we had a connection and loads of shared interests which is rare to find in a girl irl. Eventually she ghosted me and reached out again a year later, but ghosted again, claiming she just wasn’t feeling it. Problem is, I’m stuck on her and getting a real gf didn’t help much either. I feel a strong connection to her which she doesn’t reciprocate and it’s gotten to the point of obsession. I still filter the archives by her flag and try to guess which poster could be her though I’m not even sure she’s on 4chan anymore. For reference, I do this multiple times every day, just to feel some semblance of closeness to her. Any tips on how to get over this?

Should I ask out girl at gym
9702A38F-BC51-4FCC-9C58-8DE2C5120947
There’s this girl who works out at my gym and she’s always there and she always seems to look over at me constantly and stands there fixed on me pulling her hair, yesterday she was on my bus back from work straight up peering at me trying to make eye contact the whole time but I was just too fucking nervous/tired from work to interact with her

She’s honestly really hot to me. A gym bunny brunette who has a very athletic figure and she’s gorgeous. I’ll be honest and say she makes me nervous because she’s so attractive but I think she likes me.

How can I approach her?

I spoke to his mother today , as he just went home, because he felt sick and we happened to travel on the same bus with his mom.I told her I was concerned about him and I hinted that I know something she might not (that there's drugs involved) .He's been on sleeping pills for the last couple of months , since one day he just said he felt like he was dying and that there was liquid in his head.
She straight up asked me whether he's on drugs, but I couldn't do it.

How do you cope with the fact that many of us will end up marrying a normie bitch or no girl at all, and not our ideal girl? Is it even worth dating with this in mind? Perhaps you could mold her to be someone worth being with, but I think it'd be a tad immoral.

My libido is too high what should I do?
name
I was on a trip with my girl for three days, and I wanted to have sex 24/7, nonstop. Rock hard erections every time she was around, in the morning, and pretty much every time. It came to a point in which she threw a highlighter at me, and I got a boner.

How can I lower my libido? It is starting to piss me off because now that I'm back from the trip, I'm masturbating 2-3 times a day so I can stay focused on other stuff.

Is it true most men view a girls race as what determines her status?
IMG_4704
White girls = high status and seen as an accomplishment to nonwhite men
Asian = not as good as white but almost. Asian girls are too plentiful and easy to be truly high status.
Latina = white ones are almost as good as white, brown ones can be fun
Black = lowest status even if she’s hot. She’s still looked down no matter what she does and she could mean a drop in status for non white men.

Is it true? Even just unconsciously?

Im not trying to bait or troll anyone.

Do I take the new job?
soupcon-cb-page-2
>Work in a restaurant
>Love the job, love the people I work with
>Great hours, we close at 2 PM
>Get paid to walk, lift heavy, and hang out with my coworkers
>Out of a staff of 20+ people, I'm #4 in seniority
However:
>I only work 25 hours/week and that's all I'm needed for
>I work pretty much every weekend
>No benefits

Now I went to an interview and got hired at a new place. Full time with benefits. Easy job. Weekends off, etc. Seems perfect, but when they showed me around, the job seemed so lonely. I would be working in a lab at my own little station. Minimal communication with others. Mostly standing there for 8 hours doing repetitive work by myself. The days are going to feel so long and empty.

I love action and working around people. That's why I love the restaurant I'm currently at. But I think I also got spoiled because I love everyone I work with and it doesn't even feel like work. Even one of the cooks said he plans on staying here until he dies. However, I do need more money so my girlfriend and I can move to a better place. (At least until my business grows, then I can do whatever I want.)

Do I take the job or stay where I'm at, and continue searching for something that's a better fit for me? Getting jobs where I live isn't the easiest task because I'm not in a major city.

Dating is so frustrating.

I could be talking to a girl, and we have so much in common. Go to the same restaurants, similar career, same taste in music, yada yada yada, but because I didn't vote for whatever, suddenly she's not interested.

Everyone on /sci/ bullies me when I post in the /med/ general thread and I really don't like it. It's totally demoralizing, they say things like I'm too dumb to get into medical school and I should give up. My GPA is pretty mid because I went through depression and difficult circumstances in undergrad. My MCAT is decent. I'm now applying to 1 year master's programs that have linkages to medical school, so if I get above a 3.3 in the program I'll get right into the medical school (my MCAT is already above their minimum so I just need the grades).
How do I cope with the uncertainty of getting accepted into medical school or the master's programs? And how do I deal with all these people on /sci/ bullying me and saying I should give up? It's so demoralizing.

Screenshot from 2024-12-25 17-40-17
This is a very strange thing that I have a hard time describing but basically I'm walking out of a lecture hall or in a hall way at uni and I swear I'm looking past a girl or whatever and just EXACTLY in the corner / after they pass , I swear I hear "fag" but they never directly say it so I don't know if I'm imagining it or what.

Now I'm short and have long hair and the dahmer aviator esque glasses - so there is a semi decent chance I genuinely do give off that energy , in which case do you guys think I should change cause I'm always going to be marked if I look like this? Or fuck the noise?

Gf said "I want to hurt you"
my-girlfriend-said-im-not-the-one-for-her
My gf just told me, boldly, "I want to hurt you". Neutral tone.
I asked her why, she said "I don't know".
She has not done anything so far. Before saying that we were good, laughing and having a good time.
I can't sleep. These words just stay on my mind.
I fear the future.
I hate the fact I love her because if she does try to hurt me I won't be able to be stoic about it. It will hurt me. But why???
I want to complain, to cry, to do something but I can't. All I can do is overthink and get angry in my head.
What the fuck should I do?
I don't understand we were good just a few moments ago. We were amazing, having a good time, just a few moments ago. She was telling me she loved me so much just a few moments ago. Now she randomly gets the desire to hurt me?
What should I do?
And how can I develop better control over my emotions so I can stop overthinking, worrying, fearing, getting angry etc...? I have to bottle up my emotions because I cannot show it to the outside but it's getting overwhelming. I am currently in a very bad situation financially. I'm stressed out, hate myself, want to suicide. And now the one woman supposed to support me, the one woman I care about other than my family, randomly swings and wants to "hurt me". Why? She says "idk". And idk either. And it's killing me. I am already under so much pressure why this unnecessary bullshit?

I'm not complaining Im just explaining the problem so you people understand my stance.

She said it's not the first time she felt that way, but that she "controlled herself".

I want three things please :
1) Why she might have said that
2) How I can actually stop giving a fuck, instead of acting like I don't give a fuck when in reality I'm hurt and bottling it up inside because I don't want to whine like a bitch. How can I have more emotional control.
3) What I should do moving forward?

voluntarily celibate or mentally ill?
IMG_5059
I feel so drained by the idea of being intimate with anyone even someone i really love and i don’t know why. I used to view sex as a form of union and enjoyment but overtime I have come to realize that it’s just carnal and in all honesty fills me with disgust with myself and deep insecurity. It isn’t necessarily that I don’t have sexual thoughts, I do just like any person my age, but the action of letting some guy touch me, even if i love him, makes me feel deep rooted shame and the physical pleasure you get from it doesn’t make the depression that comes with it go away. Having sex makes me feel like my body is being defiled. I know that a lot of men, if not most really appreciate sex in relationships even if it isn’t in a perverted weird way. I guess I can see the appeal of it, but I don’t know if I can physically get myself to do it, I’ve only ever had one partner, and I’m scared that no man will tolerate my disdain for sexual intimacy. Should I try to change that and be more open to it? If so, how can I do that without damaging myself mentally? Some of my other female friends have recommended exposure therapy and to experiment but the mere idea of doing that horrifies me. I don’t know what is wrong with me.

What benefit for me is there for me to get diagnosis for autism? I suspect I may be little bit of autist. I remember as a kid, taking a video game cartridge to school to show my cool game to kids, only to be left rejected because other were "yeah, whatever", and I've my entire life felt rejected (though it could be for other reasons than autism alone), and have very hard time connecting with people.

Hypothetically, if the autism diagnosis came positive, what help would they be able to provide that would boost my life? I feel like I would get nannied or something, so there's fear I will lose whatever little individual freedom that I have. Anyone have experience from this on themself or relatives? I'm approaching mid 30s

Dating Dilemma
IMG_2395
How do I deal with the fact that any girl I genuinely really want to date will likely like me less than I like her? Of course some of you may say just date a girl that approaches you or whatever, but as someone who has a been approached a few times, I know that these women are not worth dating, and if I did date them, I'd struggle with the fact knowing I could get someone so much better (speaking from experience).

So are my choices either end up with a girl I like but doesn't like me, or end up with a girl below my league?

me
I decided to stop being a rentoid and buy my own place. Problem is, I was renting in my countries capital because my wife wanted to be there. I have about 350k saved up and I'd need to take out 100k more to buy a newly built place about 20 minutes outside of town. My wife is now asking me to take out a bigger loan so we could get a place in the capital, all because she doesn't want to drive to town and because living outside the city is "beneath" her, even though this move would put me closer to my job and allow me to advance my career.

Am I cooked? What do I do? I'm the breadwinner in the house and I'm paying 100% for everything. Not living in town is to her basically grounds for terminating our 10 year relationship.

How to let go from the dreadful dealing with my old parents?
I love my parents even though they weren't the best one, but you can't choose your parents.
Main issue they're boomers, and keep belittle me some time publicly when I go with them doing groceries.
(They're in their 70s and need someone around to aid them poor hearing/sight)
But because they're stubborn and lack the common sense of current things I get put in embarrassing situations and get upset.
Sometimes get into heated arguments with them over nothing, in hindsight, mainly because it's so frustrating trying to explain something to them
Which make me feel bad, I'm someone sensitive and I realize they don't have much time and would like to keep and make good memories with them in the time they have.

how do i get money for new accordion

how do I find like a rich generous benefactor to buy me an accordion with helikon bass? It costs about 4 grand. These types of accordions are rare but it is the true traditional sound of authentic Alpine German music. I'm a poor full-time student and can't afford one and also even if I could I'd have to figure out how to get it, the only place I found them at is in Germany so I'd have to go to Germany (can't ship an instrument like this it would get ruined)
Please help I need to find a rich benefactor who likes preserving German folk music

how to get gf to brush her teeth
Toothbrush
She VERY rarely does i mean maybe once a week?? And it's driving me insane guys, she's the most attractive girl ever and I just wanna kiss her so bad but sometimes her breath smells so awful that I just can't, I'm honestly also kinda worried about oral sex stuff (to be fair i'm a bit of a clean freak but not that much). We both drink + smoke but I brush my teeth immediately after most of the time and she just doesn't care. Sometimes she reeks of beer for full days.
I've tried gently asking her to brush her teeth, explained to her that I honestly just wanna enjoy kissing her and not have it ruined by bad breath, and also that it's not that pleasant when she's talking close to my face (which she does a lot). I don't talk to her about it too much though cause y'know I don't wanna be annoying and rude
Once after I asked, she told me that she doesn't do it because the texture and taste bother her, and also that it made her gums bleed a lot. And while that must definitely be very annoying and uncomfortable, I also think that teeth and mouth health is a very important thing, all personal reasons asides. I'm sure there must be an easy and painless solution for her but even if it is I'm not sure she'd be willing to hear my suggestions and I don't wanna make her self-conscious... What should I do?

Therapists and councellors
Therapist-vs-Counselor[1]
>I have these problems
>no you don't. have you thought about how great everything is?
>you know that thing you mentioned, it's a sign how your situation isn't as hopeless and how positive it is

What in the utter hell is the point of therapists? Every single one of them have given me this song and dance about positive thinking. It was only later that I found out that they're hopelessly ignorant, poorly trained, and have zero medical knowledge or training.

What is the point of these people? They seem specifically designed to waste your time. I only started making improvements when I did my own research upon realizing therapists were hopelessly clueless. Like completely ignorant of every single mental disorder out there. Despite having a masters they know as much about disorders as people off the street so why bother with all that education if it's useless?

I feel like I've found some kind of conspiracy out there that no one seems to talk about: therapists are clueless by design. Psychologists and Psychiatrists seem to know what they're talking about.

Girlsss
images
I introduced myself to a girl my age (22) on facebook, she responded and only then I sent her a few photos of myself few months back and a few years back, cause I didn't have a profile pic, she basically said that she appreciates the courage and then asked what's my education, but I'm a neet with only a hs diploma from one of the best highschools in my big city.

Basically her last message is a rejection, but it's a whole 3 sentences, no resentment at all that a betacuck like me messaged a 10/10 like her, she even praised me once more for courage basically and she obviously found me attractive when I first sent the photos where I'm not trying to make myself look better

Her name day's tomorrow and I only messaged her first 6 days back, she says thanks, wtf do I follow that up with

btw, the way i asked her out, she's 100% not seeing anyone

My mom talked to me for 9 hours today...
society if women stopped talking for several moments
about my lack of ambition and future.
I just didn't stop her all day.
I listen extremely well.
However, my patience has a limit.
I didn't know how long it had been since she started talking but I had basically finished dinner when I finally told her she's "tiring me out".
I glanced at the clock and was shocked to realize it was 8:00PM and I had literally listened to her for 9 hours uninterrupted.
So I abruptly cut her off and she started making fun of me for being tired of listening to her.
As soon as I put a boundary up or end the conversation with her, she's always mad at me for it.
She comes to my door an hour later and says she's just trying to help.
Well how does this help?
If I dont have a disciplined routine or a life direction... how is listening to someone for 9 hours (uninterrupted btw, I literally cannot do constant life-changing-discovery thought exercises for 9 hours a day...) going to fix it?

The fucking strangest thing is that my mom is in just as bad of a situation than I am, work-life wise.
So she's just stolen 9 hours of my life that I can never take back and I have 0 new information that I can use to my advantage.
This day has not helped me whatsoever, it's set me completely backwards.
I feel like she's way too concerned over me, even if I'm floundering in life, because she is too.
She makes me feel like her lifeline and if I ever cut her off from me I feel like I'm supposed to be guilty.
But I honestly want to leave her alone and live by myself never to talk with her again.
I want to stop this dynamic immediately but I dont even know what it is.
Is this enmeshment?

Friend Zoned?
pepe-the-frog-1272162_640
I met a beautiful woman in late October who moved into town a few months prior and have only hung out with her at bars no more than 10 times since then, checking out music and chatting as best we could.

I fell head over heals for her but she doesn't like to talk or text over the phone, so our text communication is practically nonexistent. She was honest about being hesitant to pursue anything with me because I'm a musician (her previous two ex's were musicians and treated her poorly from what I gathered) which was fine, I tried not to get my hopes up.

We met Sunday and she was sitting very close to me, our arms touching one another, flirting, etc. We met again last night and the body language was so much different. Further away, almost annoyed. I told her in conversation over the loud music (because I haven't been able to get her to go out with me outside of a bar with music) that I have a gnarly crush on her.

She said she liked me too but that she wants to get to know me as a person and it bothers her that while she's been in the city, everyone feels fake (except for me that's why she likes me and she can tell I mean well) and every guy that talks to her is only interested in pursing her romantically or sexually. I've seen this happen in real time in front of my face. She's a stunning woman and dudes literally 5 back to back to back would interrupt us mid conversation to try to hit on her. Also happened last night too, some younger musician who I know and have known for a while basically tried to shoot his shot while I was on stage playing when it was clear as day we were there together. Bit of a tangent but just trying to illustrate just how attractive this woman is.

She mentioned last night that she didn't like the pressure men put on her when they try to pursue her, I felt bad trying to hang out with her because I am in a sense one of those men. I tried to apologize to her before she left but she didn't want to have that conversation out in the cold.

/htgwg/ How to Get Women General #281
1732321426761283
>What is /htgwg/?
How to Get Women General is by men, for men, about women, so bring all of your questions about getting and dealing with women here. Some anons on this site actually get laid, and some of those even want to help. If you're trying to meet and date women, then this is the place to ask questions, seek advice, and share experiences. We know how hard it can be. We got you bro.

>What is /htgwg/ not?
These threads are NOT for whining, moping, incels, volcels, MGTOW, hopelessness, or demoralization. We're all aware that meeting and dating women is hard these days, and even harder for some, but /htgwg/ is for men trying to overcome the challenges. IGNORE the posters who complain, have given up, or insist that there's nothing they can do. This site has other boards and threads that they can pollute. BE SMART: Spot the bait, don't reply, and DON'T WASTE TIME ARGUING WITH THEM!

>How to ask for advice
Context is important: be more specific than "This girl ghosted me, why?" We can't help if we don't know the situation, so try to provide as much (useful) info as possible ("I was at the bar, this chick was checking me out..."). What's your relationship with the girl? How long have you known her? Any conversation screenshots? Etc... Don't forget to ask an actual question.

>She told me that she is concernd for my health becaue i drank to mutch coffee (i was drinking too much coffee like 8-16 a day) and now evreytime i have a coffee in my hand i have to think at that moment and feel disgusted by the coffee.
>She told me that she likes the harry potter books and wants someone to talk to about the books and now i am in the middle of the 4th book.
>When she is in the room i am more stressed than that time i was shoot almost twice (at the same day).

The problem is i asked her out about a year ago and she told me that she only likes me as a friend to be fair i was a bout as smooth as sandpaper and as charismatic dry peace of bread.

But her behaviour doesn't really add up.
>At a party she was sitting between me and her best friend and she was leaning against me while talking with me while between her and her friend was a half meter gab.
>I overheard a conversation between her and her friend where her best friend tried to encurage her to talk to "him" and just go to "him" and tell "him" how you feel, while booth kept looking at me (i was standing alone so no mistaking that).

how do you quit hostile job?
1736385688065059
Hi just the subject, but some background(sorry for length:
I got an MBA in data analytics and looked around for business analytics jobs. right after I graduated I joined up with some AI engineering "course" run by some pompous indian dude. I did that for like a month until the "classes" suddenly halted and I was just sitting around the company (it's literally all indians kek) ms teams and joining some of their ai meetings or whatever. would basically just watch the pompous boss just yell at his workers and basically watch all of them bumble around working on some internal project or whatever.
get bored. start butting into their standup meetings asking for tasks to work on. finally, after a while, got a task to make an API that patches VMs in Azure. this was pretty easy to do actually, but i literally never worked on any cloud shit before other than big query on gcp and had to learn all this bullshit from scratch. a week later, finish the task, learn that none of these indians knew how to do this, and the boss guy was happy and put me on some other tasks but told me they "dont do remote". ok, whatever. pressured by mother to just go live with aunt since they're in the same city. decided to go. worked on some PoCs for them, did pretty well, learned pretty quickly boss guy seemed impressed. every so often i would notice he would be hopping on calls with these other laptops. also sometimes just really mean spiritedly yelling at his employees really loudly while no one said or did anything. later i'd be approached with one of these laptops and learned that the boss actually has 4 different jobs with different companies and basically just pays a bunch of interns at his office to do all the work from his jobs for him while he jumps on meetings with other indians and yells at the sales division (the only other white guy at the company was head of sales and would get yelled at by the boss as well lol its all indians kek).

Are multifaceted men that rare?
C255X3B5SBBOJLAWQEEIISENQA
I’m a straight guy, not thinking about relationships right now. Competitive, driven, I lift and I’m sharp enough (125 IQ). I'm value pragmatism and I study in stem, but I also value politics, introspection, art, spirituality, and understanding emotions. This mix seems rare. Whenever I meet guys, they are either faggy, autistic, but never the mix of both that I'm looking for. For this reason, I can’t find men that I respect and things are always tense. I'm immediately left out. I'm quick enough to understand people's emotions and schemes, but always too slow to proact accordingly. What do the guys I'm looking for do for a living? I'm deeply starved for connection. Recognition is a luxury I hesitate to even mention.

Self-medicating with alcohol

There's something wrong with my head. I spend all day on the computer, I put very small thing off forever until they explode and cause major problems, I fail to get anything done.

I'm considering trying alcohol (or any other kind of legal mind-altering chemical) to adjust the way my brain thinks to get me out of this stupor. Does this work?

Which job would you take?
1727487676328469
I just finished an interview and it went very well. It is for a trucking dispatcher position. Problem is it is my second interview for that position with another company. Based on the interview and the follow up questions I am fairly certain both are going to offer me the job. Nearly identical benefits and PTO. Both are standard 9 hr days with 1hr lunch. Both.

>Company A: 1/4th the amount of trucks to deal with, mon-fri 8-5 with some light on call over the weekend. Smaller business so upward mobility is limited. 50k
or
>Company B: 4x the trucks to deal with. Sun-Thur. Overnights. They are willing and eager to foot the bill for CDL training and licensing. Large company and all 3 interviewers who are various flavors of department heads all started in dispatch. 60k

I've never done this job before so the first would be slightly less money and kind of stuck where I'm at with normal hours and weekends off. Second would be more work but more pay and expanding my skills but I become a vampire.

Career Recommendation
FE Echoes Shadows of Valentia
I'm having quite a bit of trouble, don't have too much money (jobless) so I can't go back into college. Currently my interests lie in drawing (still bad at it), image editing, video editing, and frontend web design. Currently a 22 yo male in Canada.

Not particularly skilled in any of them, but I have a passion to continue learning. Currently using free YouTube tutorials and an Udemy course. However I still haven't pinned down a sensible career path that lines up with my interests.

Are freelance sites like Upwork a scam? Are certifications bullshit? I genuinely don't know, people say to build a portfolio and network but I'm too autistic to know what good networking entails. Don't have much in my portfolio either.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, I really would love to do some sort of media editing as a job. And would settle with web design, I desperately don't want to end up in another dead end job. Thank you for reading!

I am looking into getting a PPL/CFI credential now

Looks like certified flight instructors make like $60 an hour and it costs like $10k to become one. takes about 4 months to do.

the government might be able to cover up to $7000 of it I believe. so it would end up costing maybe $3000

No matter what my intentions are, I can't do anything right. I am so dumb that I failed a special program in HS for 3 years. I've still not graduated HS. Middle school was even worse for me because I was not able to do this program, even the teachers made my experience a nightmare, but my current teachers in HS are great at least and always have been apart from one. In 2023 I had an extremely bad period mentally and I hurt people I care about a lot (family and best friend). I've not forgiven myself, healed or improved my situation at all. It happened because I couldn't heal from previous trauma or do anything to improve my mental health at all, everything accumulated and my mental health got so bad that I ended up hurting people I care about the most. I panic to the point of vomiting and my head spinning. I often hear my family cry because of the way I turned out. I'm probably gonna be homeless for a few days because I can't afford a full week as I bought myself a gift impulsively and I messed up when I bought a gift for my former best friend, I ended up having to pay for it twice and all the fees ended up costing more than I thought. The gift was meant to cost around 50$ and I ended up spending 100$ because of how awfully incompetent I am. I just cried all night during nye because of everything holidays remind me of which is that no one even cares about me apart from people that feel obligated to (extremely close family) and other days this far have only been worse. I'm probably going to have to ask my mom for money so that I don't end up homeless. I am unable to heal from traumatic events, I'm unable to make friends, I'm unable to do basic things, I'm unable to deal with anything mentally, I can't even make food for myself, not even egg or anything beyond a sandwich. I don't know how to take even the first step to improve anything.

I was thinking about building a new gaming PC as I will need a new computer but I don't want to at the same time because I want to spend more time outside, get into /out/ hobbies, make more friends (tough at 27 though), meet girls, etc. Any advice on the matter?

I need some advice! I'm going to uni to study CS and I'll be honest, I was pretty lazy on a few programming assignments. I somehow managed to cheat my way through with chatgpt for almost an entire semester, but now in hindsight I regret it. Not because I didn't get the points, I did, but because I realized that my programming skills suck now. And I know that the assignments are going to get harder and harder from now on, so I really shouldn't rely on the AI to do it for me... So... Does anyone have any tips on how I can catch up as quickly as possible? Do a few non-uni-related programming projects on my own? Work through a “learn [language here]” book? What's the most efficient way to get myself out of this hole I've dug before it's too late?

Over seven months since I graduated with a BS in comp science, still unemployed.
sample resume
I applied to hundreds of applications, and only got four interviews, all rejected. I am currently studying for the CompTIA Network+ exam, hoping that will increase my chances of getting a tech job.

I've just lost $1,000 after missing a flight with no refund available, and I really need to earn money fast. At this rate I might have to deliver pizzas or flip burgers to make some quick cash.

Married but interested in coworker
1735566041794932
I don't even know what to do anymore. I think I love my coworker more than my wife. Today I went to lunch with her. We work in different departments, but talk all the time despite no real reason to. At our holiday party a few weeks ago we spent 3 hours sitting together talking. At other events we always talk too. One time when we went out with a bunch of people we ended up holding hands. It feels impossible to make a move in my situation, but I honestly feel like she would want me if I was single. She is very cute and some other guys blatantly hit on her when drunk and she turns them down, but I have never blatantly said anything over the line to her. At the very least we are good friends. Her girl friends at the company also talk to me a lot too and make some comments that sound suspiciously like they know she's into me like
>oh she's trying to get your attention by doing x
>she was asking about where you were when you went on vacation
Or when a bunch of people were hanging out and she was finishing some work
>anon go into the lab to get her to come out here
It sucks because this is a serious job at a serious company and I can't ruin that. And I also can't really take the chance and blow up my marriage for something that could end up not working anyways. I don't really like my wife anymore, she's become unkind, unsupportive, and manipulative in the years of our marriage. Just thinking about how my coworker may never be mine makes me feel seriously upset and affects my mood at work and home. I try to not think about it, but then I see her and have a chat and feel so good and my day turns around. I also know that some coworkers must see us talking all the time, and the way we look into each other's eyes, how we seem inseparable at events, and notice the comments from her friends. Nobody has confronted me yet, but I feel it's coming. My wife has zero clue though.

At what age should you take the hooker pill as a man?
b4096a9abd0a6386006c8db6efbef758e666f58350cee8502f8bedbbe65a5243
All my research online and street interviewing people in 5 different states have revealed to me that being a male virgin is a big ICK after 25. It's borderline ICK for like half number of girls over 20.
Most girls are likely to forgive their husband if he had a hooker AFTER marriage and they have kids and almost all don't care if he slept with hookers before. Some told me they prefer he "got some practice".

I am almost 30 and still a virgin. I can talk to women fine. But it becomes very apparent im a virgin if convo gets longer and I see when they realize it and get the ick. They will even act supportive when they ask "how many relationships you had" and when you say 0 they lie and say thats sweet or ask why. If you lie and say 2-3 they know.

>be me
>only compliments I've received all my life were being called "cute" and the like
>recently at work a customer (who was probably 3x my age) was complimenting me calling me cute
>I'm feeling somewhat emasculated from being called this
>ffw to today
>I come home after church, take off my pants and put on a nice long soft shirt, take a couple pictures of myself, start having gay thoughts

Why am I like this? Honestly, I have so much self-loathing for being like this. I don't know, it's like I was raised to think all of this is bad yet it feels so good, it feels good to be called cute by people and to wear soft things and to have soft plump skin. Everytime I shake someone's hand at church they always say things like "oh wow how are your hands so soft?" (I put lotion on after showering since I have mild eczema). I know this sounds so contradictory, I hate being emasculated, I want to be considered handsome, sexy, hot, but I feel all warm and gooey inside when people call me cute and feminine things

Be honest, do I need help?

When I was younger (from my teens to my early 20s) I had an awful temper and was generally a sullen, unpleasant person. I've mellowed out since then but sometimes I think about what a shithead I was and feel bad for family for having to put up with my crap. I wonder if my family and others who had to deal with me still think of me as that person, or if I should apologize for my past behaviors. Would it be weird to apologize to my family for the way I was 10 - 15 years ago?

how are other people my age able to live much more exciting and authentic lives?
1735860807157909
im 23, i feel like all of my peers are always doing such exciting things and living their best lives. many of them are also managing/have managed to do so during college despite their studies.
i have no clue how they have the money, time, or schedule management to do this stuff.
I'm talking frequent international or cross country travel, going to events and festivals, all while affording their own place while going to college and working? how the fuck do they do this?

outside of my peers i constantly see posts and reels of young people my age travelling, or living in a major city, or making connections and doing awesome shit. how are they making money? why dont i have any opportunities or connections like they do?

sometimes it feels like everyone else lives a much more authentic life, like the experiences i have are less meaningful and profound, and this only adds to that. is it cause im <5'7 and ugly as a man?

Guy from this thread, that day she was defending her abusive brother and considering to date him because " I cannot deny anything of what he told me in his proposal and he also has a place to live and he's 181cm(im not kidding she actually mentioned her height)" and "she didn't wanna make me feel bad but she can be objective about her man of choice" she was literally typing to me scared that her brother tried to touch her and was afraid of his harassement the next day, I told her she lied about that if shes considering it but she said "its okay I understand him he couldnt hold back!" and that "his brother is not a bad person and told me he wont force me to have children if I dont want to" most of the conversation was her pretending to feel bad and defending him so I was just very upfront and dissapointed and didnt talk to her more. It's been 2 days since that.

21M, third year undergrad student graduating 3 semesters late. Did CS for two years and switched to EE but quickly losing interest in that as well. My mind wanders way too much for me to focus on classwork but also to even get my aspirations in order, I'm constantly fantasizing about what "x" career would be like before eventually getting bored and moving on to the next exciting-sounding thing. I genuinely cannot fathom and have huge respect for how some people can go into fields like medicine where you basically have to decide from age 18 to dedicate yourself to that shit for the next 10+ years and actually succeeding. I want to be like that but my low IQ normie brain is preventing me from doing so.

I don't learn or retain anything
20250107_214236
I never retain things I read, whether it be all the trivial facts I come across online or concepts that I find interesting
For example take the gameshow problem (the 3 doors one). when the solution was explained to me in a way that I can abstract it to other probability questions I thought I'd never be able to forget it, it felt so simple and easy.
a few years later when I came across it again I misremembered the solution. The fact that i thought it made sense to me tells me I never truly learned the idea behind it otherwise the solution I misremembered wouldn't make any sense.
I find learning by heart (or things that don't have a logic to follow) much more difficult than the average person, like song lyrics
I repeat mistakes CONSTANTLY
If I'm learning to play a song on the piano, and I hit the wrong note, I'll then keep hitting that wrong note and it takes time to correct it. I need to get it right the first few times. This applies for virtually every skill, like spelling
It makes me feel like a total NPC that I can't learn things easily, people with low iqs can retain knowledge better than me somehow. Is this a soft form of learning disability or something? Why the fuck can't I retain anything?

Hello /adv/, I would like to preface this post by saying that I invite anyone who can prove me wrong to do so because I seriously hope I am wrong. And also, I may elaborate further in this post in the future but idk

I am suicidal because I don't believe I will ever find love and true intimacy at any point in my life. I'm a retarded, socially inept loser who can't articulate anything, has no friends, can't look anyone in the eye, is a khhv and my life is passing me by.

I have given up at life because of this and I believe that I have subconsciously known this since my early teen years and that's why my grades fell and never recovered. My mother did die during this time but my grades never recovered even a few years after this. I have spent half my life on social media, wasting my life away because I wanted to escape from reality.

Yh idk where I was going with this but I'm tired and I need to sleep. If this post makes no sense it's because I'm a retarded who needs kill himself and sure I'll elaborate on this post further in the future

My girlfriend told me I was lucky she knew how to ride. Should I leave her?

My girlfriend told me, "You're lucky I know how to ride." We were having a conversation on the phone about how hard we were going to fuck on Sunday, and she texted me that.

I just texted back, "I guess so," because I obviously am not; she could have learnt how to ride with me instead of the guys she fucked before.

I guess she saw I didnt feel that good about her message because she replied "but I ride you harder", and just kept it going.

What should I do?

Break up with GF or am I just a coomer
2463432342
Been with my gf for almost 2 years now, however a huge problem for me is that her sex drive is way too low for me and she literally never makes advances.

She turned me down so many times already with some lame excuse, leading to me not really wanting to make advances (but still do) but she just does not start anything. I mentioned it 3 times already now after not sleeping together for like 1-2 months each of those times and I very clearly expressed that this won't do it for me (again her coming up with excuses of her being stressed or whatever).

She has a nice personality and all but I literally cannot imagine being married to her and not having sex at LEAST once a week, just seems like legit hell on earth to me. Just thinking about getting cucked for like months and being stuck in a marriage is actual horror to me. I do go to the gym alot and have a high drive in general, also been with girls before that matched my drive or even exceeded it and I was definitely happier in that regard before.

It is also the first time I genuinely thought about hitting a strip club with some friends of mine or just to cheat while going out because I genuinely feel like I need this. It just seems to me that we are not compatible long term.
Am I just a retarded coomer for that and about to lose a nice girl ( I know how hard it is to find an actual non NPC GF) or are my worries justified?

Hi guys. I has some weird skin conditions that wouldn't go away and the doc wasn't available bc of holidays and since it began itching and hurting pretty bad I just kind of self-medicated and took a small amount of hydrocortisone for a while, but now it completely messed up my sleep. I lay around for hours in bit to get only a small amount of sleep or non at all. I'm sure its bc of the Hydrocortisone, bc it makes me feel super stressed all the time. And well, it worked for my skin condition though, it went away, and now I'm slowly reducing the amount of Hydrocortisone to stop taking them but
How the fuck do I get some sleep before that

>pursue constructive and social hobbies
>have my dream career after years of hard academic and personal work

>in great shape from gym, hiking, gardening, etc.
>supportive and growing social circle
And none of it helps. I'm still the incel I was when I was a teenager. I just have more resources that, in the end, I could do without. I keep trying the next thing and, regardless of how successful I am at that thing, it isn't rewarding. I visited somewhere I always wanted to visit since I was young. I planned the trip. I paid for it. It wasn't too labor-intensive but I was nonetheless excited. I get there. A beautiful place. And I feel nothing. I look at this scenic view and think
>too bad you have no gf to take here, retard.
And I walk around on my itinerary going through the motions. Being an incel is going to get me killed at this rate. I am running thin on copes. Where do I go from here?

7 months on nofap and on verge of relapse
canada-administrative-map-2943046908
I've been abstaining from porn/fapping for 7 months straight. I'm unemployed, no opportunity of meeting real grills where I live, and I've been feeling down for a month of so.
No drive for projects, working out on time, like I used to have etc.
I used to jack it to extreme stuff and the temptation is still here (literally one click away on /gif/). Sometimes I wanna check out that one website that had new stuff regularly and I just imagine what I've missed.

It wasn't always like that, at some point I had healthy fantasies again and even stashed a lot of images in the "Playboy" style to reeducate my dick, but now if I actually relapse I'm worried I'll go straight to the extreme stuff again.

How do I release the tension around this? It's draining me.
I know I'll feel guilty and just start a goon cycle if I relapse, all my efforts will have been for naught

How can I "care less" about my girlfriend
