Heart of Space

That sounds awesome. Man, I'd emphasize more patience though. Take care of yourself, great intellects often don't peak till old age. You have plenty of time. You know why Albert Einstein didn't innovate much beyond his younger years? He loved pussy more than physics.

@integration journey I appreciate it. I'm just blunt with a sense of humor. I do know what I'm talking about. Every area of my life that a young man dreams of is successful and I built it through a massive amount of hard work, failing first and then succeeding later.

I'd advise you to not listen to much of the advice in here. Especially don't make assumptions about what's going on in her head without direct communication. Because I see a few people mind-reading in here. Keep communication simple and brief. Lots of emoji's through text, to avoid her thinking that you're anything but gay for her. Often there can be miscommunication in text. I've ran into that problem and it's caused major arguments or issues. Call when it makes sense.

@KH2 Look, I apologize for posting something that upset you. Forgive me and perhaps I'll make it up to you.

@KH2 you're a complete fool. Seems the basic strategy of getting a degree in a lucrative field was too much for you to handle emotionally. Next.

Thanks for the proper accounting term, problem is no one here is an accountant. Investment in your future as in only use loans when necessary for your continued prosperity and survival. Better description? A house is considered an investment. It gains value over time.

Lol 80k for engineering? Try 160k plus 10% bonus, and a yearly cost of living raise around 3.5 to 4%. Not everyone will achieve this, obviously, but what the hell is wrong with an 80k minimum??? Using words like slave to describe successful educated people shows that you're angry and jaded. Probably unsuccessful. Instead of hating, maybe tell me where you struggle. I may have good advice.

Aliens are like a hammer. When everyone is curious, they look like nails.

@sholomar It is truly foolish to suggest to anyone that this is a valid way of life. Most people are going to want to live in society with all its benefits and comforts. I just provided the easiest and most obvious beeline to providing a life for yourself. The wise thing to do is to copy my strategy and then later in life you have far more options for chasing spirituality. I'm truly flabbergasted that anyone would recommend being a spiritual vagrant to anyone. Those who do that, don't need advice on it. They have some special calling for it, like Jed Mckenna. Don't recommend that way of life to anyone.

Simple answer: Excessive money into the economic system. Stimulus checks and interest rates on loans dropping making them more sexy. It's both the Democrats and the Republicans fault. Republicans: Made our economy more vulnerable to the COVID panic by overleveraging the economy. Democrats: Stimulus for the people was overcalculated. Too much. Basically, everyone thought COVID was going to be 150% as bad as it was. And trump moved our economy to a more high risk/high reward model.

Jesus Christ and the aliens both frown upon sexual promiscuity.

Here you go guys. First I'd like you to read my thread on how to be successful it's short: Step 1, Get your life together Step 2, You best not be jerking to porn that's shameful and women hate you Step 3, Be open minded to different body types, beauty is subjective, stop looking at porn (congrats your dating options just improved significantly) Step 4, After getting your life together you probably now have a personality, congratulations Step 5, Meet girl and consistently show that you like her by just being gay towards her, you don't even have to have complex interactions. Just consistently show that you like her. And most important advice after application of said steps, be patient, you'll get rejected even if you're a good partner before you find a great one. This shit ain't complicated genuinely. If you find yourself getting confused, you're overcomplicating it.

I'm having the weirdest Deja Vu

I was being a little silly. Sex is better if you limit it. A good couple will find their tempo. Not too much, not too little.

Give the girl EVERYTHING she wants. Until she asks for things that are not good for her or you. And of course help her be the best version of herself, sometimes that means being critical of her behavior. Like sometimes you must temper a woman's desire to spend money (or god forbid she wants sex too much). Just be wise.

Yea, I scrolled through your posts for a minute, you do seem like a high value partner on the surface. Just keep trying, lad, patience and perseverance through disappointment is of most importance.

Well there's hope for me yet.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I'm the least enlightened person on this forum.

The Holy Bible.

Another important good strategy. Take your absolute sweet time meandering through easy classes at your local community college, maybe work part time. Bum rent of your parents if you can as long as you can. Time often is the antidote to lack of discipline or motivation. If you wait longer until you fully commit to school, you'll likely handle better. Getting into a college at 18 and going through a difficult degree is often a huge mistake. It's okay to take a long time, or till you're even like 28 to finish a degree. Seriously, it's overrated to stress over the valedictorian strategy of graduating at 24 with a doctorate or something. Just don't compare yourself with the best, take your time, use your parents (make it up to them later in life). Just be smart and use your twenties to get a meaningful education and strategy for your life. No one is going to read this, but there's a few meaningful great pieces of advice in this thread.

Okay, maybe the engineering degree is too much for people. Understandable, a lot of mathematics. But there are a plethora of 2 year degrees out their that you can get at your local community college that are relatively easy to get and net you about 40 to 80 thousand a year. Just be wise with your money. Perhaps partner up with someone also making decent money to take a little financial pressure off you.

Yikes, sounds like you've had some bad experiences, @Roy A natural part of the dating process is filtering out the unhealthy individuals. That can be messy, but hang in there. @King Merk Are you gay though?

@Majed If you're in the US there's an option where you can put money into your retirement account, a 401K. Your employer will match your contribution up to a certain percent. Put the maximum allowable percentage as it is free money that is tax free when you can pull it out. It is just a wise move that smart fathers tell their children. People often do not do this out of greed. It is long term thinking and people want their money now. @MarkKol Engineering is just one of the most consistent and lucrative degrees you can get today. Great jobs, you're basically guaranteed a six figure income if you have a decent career strategy. Basically, I was just trying to imply to get a degree with high paying jobs in its field. Getting a degree cause you're interested in 'X' is a massively overrated idea. Trust me on that. A job is a job. Engineers jobs are not as hard as you think. If you decide to get a degree in say 'biology' because I like biology you'll find that you're not that extra passionate about the job involved. Jobs are often tedious and repetitive no matter what the field. Just go for the money. Obviously, an engineering degree is difficult to get, that's a consideration too. Ask yourself: 1) Am I smart enough and disciplined enough to get the degree? Their are other options for you if you're not capable enough to get it. I do believe with proper discipline anyone who is average and higher can get a degree like that. Are you a little less academic capable? Their are options. For example, nurses make a ton of money with travel contracts and it's a two year degree.

I want you guys to go watch gladiator and then imagine Russel Crowe's character reading your posts. How do you think he would respond? He'd probably turn off the forum and go lift heavy objects and protect his beautiful family from the coming famine. Because you guys are absolutely fucking useless, my god. To be fair, he'd think I was a bit of a pussy too though.
