I met a girl off tinder a few nights ago and we really clicked. We made out for a bit but we ended up having a lot of mutual interests and went out to breakfast the next morning. I knew she was on the sluttier side and that she was seeing other guys. I'm dating other girls as well so I wouldn't expect her to not see other people.

The day after we hung out she posted her with another guy on her snapchat story. Did she do this to make me jealous or is she just a slut? A girl I used to date sent me a picture of her cuddling with another guy and I immediately broke things off but I think she did that to fuck with my head. Is this girl doing the same thing or should I just see it for what it is?

Thanks

How did you match her?

I tried tinder when it first came out, and I could never match girls like that. I could only match with fatties. I’m average looking and /fit/ too.

Maybe location matters. Where are you from? I’m near Washington DC, USA. Most girls in this area are super liberal and expect men to be 10/10s and pay for everything

>>19026951

Wow she’s a dirty slut. Fuck that bitch

>>19026958
I'm in Arizona. I don't know how to tell you how I matched her. I just put up good pictures of myself and in my bio I wrote something funny. Funny, I've only dated liberals.
>>
>>19026962
Literally.
>>
>>19026982

Don’t do this. Avoid the STIs

Is apparently useless. What is the point of matching with someone and then being unresponsive?

Maybe I'm just being an autist, but damn. 7 words over 72 hrs.

Man don't listen to these losers. I met my girlfriend on tinder, and now my life has been fucking awesome for the last 5 months. I love her, and she isn't a whore, she was on tinder to get herself out there and date.

Incel cucks have the worst advice when it comes to women. OP don't give up, just quit sounding like a faggot when you message chicks. That's all man.
>>
>>19026117
Just because you fuck someone from tinder (don't think you were her first match either) and then find you have a lot in common doesn't mean it's primarily a hookup app.

You know fucking is pretty fucking good way of figuring out if you are compatible with another person.
>>
first rule of thumb. if shes giving you two-three word responses. drop her and move on. try to match how much thought she puts into her messages.

tldr, two rows of tabs. I want them, is it/will it ever be possible?
So, using win7/chrome, and have a problem, tabs. fucking tabs. (pic related). After a bit of googling I came across "tabs outliner" "too many tabs" Something called "tree style tabs" but seems to have 404'd. I found Tab Resize - split screen layouts which is kind of tempting, but meh. I just want two rows.
I can link all of them if you want.

I know this is /adv/ and not /wsr/ so how you anons manage tabs? Give me your advice on management. I can't be the only one with a shit ton of tabs.

Some pot in highschool, and alcohol for the past 3 years(1 skinny/day)

Posted about this in the Get It Off Your Chest Thread but I’d like to please talk about it with someone >>19026681


I work retail. There is a male coworker I know whom I used to talk to in the morning while getting the cash register tills, and that’s all I saw of him because his job was in that office. But he recently transferred to my department so I see him a lot more now.

A lot of things are lining up with my idea that he has feelings for me. He compliments me, saying I am a very beautiful young lady, or a very nice woman. Sometimes he flat out says he cares. He wants me to be safe and comfortable, and if I’m scared or in pain, he worries about me intensely, and does all he can to help me feel better. Or sometimes at work, he says “I wish everyone was as eager to learn as you”.

Those work-related compliments mean a lot to me because I receive no positive feedback at work, and I basically bust my ass to no avail, and no one really appreciates my hard work and contribution. It’s the same for him. People are rude to him and discredit that he can be a valuable team player, with valuable input and ideas. So, equally yoked as a team, me and my coworker make a great team and we can achieve a lot together.

So this is hurting me very much.
>If you really loved the first one, you wouldn’t develop feels for another one
>Those who stick by you through everything are the kind of people you want in your life

I feel so physically sick sometimes. I’m mad and sad at myself and I lose sleep over it. I’m so scared and worried. Why does this happen? People I work with are nice and caring to me, and I basically have some sort of feelings.

In actuality I did talk to my current lover about it. I did it early on because I am very honest and I hate to leave things bottled in. To leave him out of it would be very disrespectful. We talk about everything together. So no need to hide anything or bottle it up

>>19026770
All depends on the type person you are and want to be.

There will always be guys you meet and work with you get along with and perhaps develop a crush on be it this job or the next or the next. It doesn't mean you should start a relationship with all of them but it is possible one of them would be a better partner for you than your current bf.

Instead of concentrating your energy on this crush you should be evaluating your existing relationship. Not to determine if he is a better guy than the coworker but if the relationship is one you want to continue to invest in. If its not then you exit the relationship but if it is then start protecting the relationship and stop doing things that undermine it.
>>
>>19026786
While you aren't lying you are being a coward about this and throwing some of the responsibility of your decision on your current bf. You alone must decide if you want the current relationship or be free to pursue other men. Otherwise you are stringing this along as you get to know the coworker better and test him for being relationship worthy.

just make a spread sheet. spread sheet dictates how much you get and how much you spend.

>300 for food (this include any necessity like soap or haircut)
>300 for fun (this include eat out)
>100 for utilities

this leave 335 left over. i put 300 in saving and asume i lose 35 in purchases i forget to calculate / donations to the village rapist / change go into piggy bank
>>
>>19025587
Move in with your parents, dump your gf, lose all expensive habits like buying golden edition games

>>19025587
Have a budget and isolate the 500 hundred bucks in a separate account. Might even consider giving the account to a trusted relative or friend if you have a spending habit.

Nothing, it's normal for people to break up when it's not working, especially when you're still dating.

Don't overthink the social pressure you might've gotten from your circle, they'll just go "oh" and "ok" then life goes on. You won't be alienated or excommunicated. If you are, then it signs to find better friends.

The sooner you do it the better. If not it can evolve in a toxic relationship. Don't ever maintain a relationship only for sex. You will regret it in the long term.

Alright /b/ I need some advice.
My sister just got caught at a party drinking, making out with some kid. Parents go through phone and find out she’s also been skipping school and smoking. I’ve gotten caught in the past too. What should I say to her? Her mind isn’t in such a good place so I’m trying to help advice
>>
>>19025698
Did she try to help you out? What did she say to you?


If not:
>get a bottle of non-alcohol and put it in a brown paper bag and drink it around her.
>Take shots of water/apple juice around her.
>print out labels of beer and put them on soda cans(keep refilling with water instead of getting new pop if you are jewish.)
>>
Well her mind obviously isn't in a good spot if she's doing a lot of those things around the same time.

Biggest advice is to be there for her. Try to ask her in private what's going on in her life, although it may take some time for her to open up to you. Let her know that you are always available for advice or an ear.

Regardless try to see if she can start seeing a therapist. If money is an issue, look into offices with sliding scale payment options or check the psychology departments at nearby colleges (she could get free sessions with psych students).

If she tells it will make you a lesser slut which is fine.
If you ask her she'll blackmail you.
Take it on the chin like a champ.
>>
>>19025698
Most likely she won't listen to you. But if you wanna try then here is my advice.
Don't lecture. No one likes being talked down to by people who aren't their parents. You will just look like a hypocrite. Take some time and construct a narrative along the lines of explaining why when you did this you were wrong to do so. The goal is to lead her to her own conclusion that she should slow it down.

Lock every doors and windows, this is basic but can't be overstated since most people seem to forget locking one or two windows which is inviting.
Close every curtain as well, the trick of leaving one open in the room with nothing worth stealing ain't working. Only have it open when you're in the house.

Don't hid spare keys around your place (e.g pot, rug), you better have spares saved far from your home like in your cabinet or lockers in your workplaces. This would help narrow the chance of someone finding your keys under rug/pot also if shit ever happens, you could narrow the suspect since the spare keys are somewhere far away.

Get insurances. I know it didn't help making you feel safer when shit does hit the fan, but it should act as a failsafe so your day won't get worse if ever.
Invest in good CCTV system that you could access online via phones when you're working.

Cash is king, but it's very unlikely you'll need every single cent at your disposal always like Scrooge's money bin, use bank.
Consider using safe deposit boxes. Of course keep any items you use regularly, like health care etc in your house.

Adapt with your surrounding, don't flaunt your wealth or give an appearance that suggest you're richer/better than your neighbors. Words might reach someone who have ill intentions, even if it's your own neighbors.
Shut up about your income and financial situation, if you're known as well off or better, people will come into you whether you liked it or not.
Don't go trying to look "poor" it'll do the opposite. Every burglar's know when you're faking to be poorer than you are.

Jew flocks to banks, futures, financial institutions, how the fuck you have hard times going there.
If not, go to any news media offices preferably online like buzzfeed or what. Chances are they've got jewish women as staffs.

When you're in those locations, drop some shekels and look for girls that got her ears to vibrate upon hearing that drop. If she's not brown/dark enough, chance are she's a jew.

I might not be the smartest guy around but I still get hurt the same as everyone else, so why the hell do people need to point out I'm stupid?

Ok I understand your position a bit better now.

I'm similar to you when it comes to language. My minor is mandarin and when I was studying it over the summer I was clearly the worst one in the class. I would get shit on by students and the teacher because I could barely keep up despite pouring hours into the class. For these you just take it on the chin and ignore it. You can speak up if it really bothers you but in a sense I was "stupid" or slow when it came to learning the language. I won't go into why I know I'm not stupid but language is just something that doesn't click very quickly for me. If people only knew me through that class I wouldn't blame them for thinking I was obtuse.

When you mentioned that the person got frustrated when you didn't understand the simple task on Word that is your fault. Most people don't mind questions if they are insightful. However, if you ask someone for help on a simple task you can figure out yourself then it will irk them. That is something you can teach yourself by looking it up online or just spending time on the program. I would help a friend in Spanish and the only times I got aggravated helping him is when he would rely on me to answer a question he could have done himself.
>>
>>19026736
Academically it's not much. I'm a relatively normal student. It's more my actions in day-to-day life that, while not bothering me, seem to make other people think I'm stupid. In my mind, it's not a problem if I left my bank card in the ATM twice in a month. Yes, it's an annoyance but there is more to life than being worried about it. One of my friends refuses to let that go. I suppose I'm vague if anything.
>>
>>19026750
>>19026750
Actually I did look it up online but I wasn't accurate in my search so I couldn't find what I needed. But I'll take your advice on board about not letting the language thing bother me, as well as not asking questions for things I can do myself. Still it's tough putting in effort (like learning Spanish) only to be knocked back by people you would hope would be more supportive.
>>
>>19026731
...you dont sound stupid..

Impatient, and shitty at language. Thats all.

Elementary and highschool sucks like that man.

We had these country wide tests to find out where kids were at in elementary school as far as learning the material theyre supposed to. Id always score 99th percentile. As in better than 98% of all the other students.

For some reason i was labelled as very stupid by the other kids and that followed me right through highschool (just a bad impression no one would let go of). So i had the other kids treating me like a drooler while the teachers were pushing me on a hard university academic path.


Theyre just assholes mang. You fucked up your impression some way some how at some point. Not much you can do will change it.

I'm on day 1 and I feel very hurt. I keep crying without realizing it. It's insane, I wanted to break up for the past month, but I didn't think she would do it and be so cruel. I don't know what to do now but I have no friends and nobody to talk to. Hope this gives some relief to admit that I'm crushed, even if it's on an anonymous forum. I told her we could remain friends but the fact that she is leaving me for casual sex makes it really hard to imagine. She wants to keep in regular communication, I just told her I needed some time alone but if it were my choice I'd never message her again. It is my choice, I guess

Why do I not enjoy being alone? I feel like I always want to be with someone, preferably a SO, and I get sad when I am alone. That being the case, literally nothing bad comes from being alone like it only has positives as far as I can tell. How can I enjoy having free time from everyone?
>>
>literally nothing bad comes from being alone like it only has positives as far as I can tell

Lots of bad things come from being alone. Lack of forming meaningful relationships, stagnation, no networking, loss of opportunity, etc - humans are social creatures. There's a reason why solitary confinement is considered cruel and unusual in a lot of countries and why it seriously fucks people up.

That being said: do you like yourself?

You have to find the balance of being alone and social.
It sounds like you isolation issues more stem form personal issues and/or idleness. Spend time developing hobbies and activities to fill your alone time.

I realize I'm probably a huge douche for this, but is it totally wrong for me to only want to date or hang out with pretty ladies?
