What would you do in my situation? my only hope is to become a pro bb'er.
1. learn to drive 2. buy cheap beater car 3. fuck some escorts
Dylan Gomez
>1. learn to drive >2. buy cheap beater car Why would these be a priority if OP has bigger problems than that? Why are americans so obsessed with owning a car? It's not going to help OP in any way
Wyatt Watson
you need a new job friendo. job can turn all this around, socialize, money, experiences.
Joshua Miller
Tfw live with mom Tfw 25 yo Tfw no gf, ever Tfw 6ft2 215lbs Tfw shit low wage job Tfw natty Tfw roids is the only hope i have for a future Tfw sips are the only thing keeping me alive
David Brooks
I am almost in the same situation, except I can drive but I'm unemployed. All I can say is at least you have a job. Receiving an allowance from your 90 year old grandma as a 24 year old man fucking sucks.
Adam Campbell
not american but I need a car because I live in a rural area and there's almost no public transportation here.
Kayden Butler
I failed my drivers test 4 years ago but now I am trying again. It gives me something to do. I actually had a way easier time getting my bachelors than passing the driving exam. How ironic.
Carter Gutierrez
Being able to drive / owning a car is a metaphor for autonomy, agency, and adulthood. If OP gets his license and buys a car his self-esteem is going to get a huge boost.
Also, take up some kind of night schooling or group sport OP. Social gains + opportunity to meet grills.
Jaxson Foster
dumb foreigners wouldnt understand
Gabriel Williams
almost same as me, except i am 10 years older, have no job, and am a dyel
Anthony Howard
Yeah i've got problems too, but it's Halloween and you're not going to bring me down at best time of year.
>What would you do in my situation?
Go watch Rick and Morty or Ted or whatever switch-your-brain-off comedy is on TV, get a cup of tea and relax. There is literally nothing out of the ordinary about your life OP, I and a million other guys are in a similiar place.
Evan Parker
Because the US is fucking huge and unless you live in a major city you need a car.
Ian Wood
wow son what the fuck did you major in gender studies? or something more autistic like astrophysics?
No excuse. Sort yourself out. Make a plan, practice weekly, get in contact with your desires for the future and yourself and act as if that coming to be could be the most real thing.
Jordan King
What kind of job provides that though?
Samuel Edwards
you like lifting, dont like people?
work construction
way better money
Easton Wright
Woman these days are problems; not solutions. Just like everything else in this life sex isn't as great as it's made out to be. A job is a job and imagine your situation without a job. No friends means there's noone to disappoint. One would hope you don't own a car because you can't drive. Two of your biggest problems in life can be removed with a simple driving test. Fuck, if you're in America you could probably find some awesome 60s muscle car and drive that for nothing. If you're a bloke and a virgin and it's that big of a mental problem for you; simply make it up and say you have. ~If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed -Hitler

Lots of girls are stuck in low wage jobs like restaurant work when they are 25+ as well. Although they probably have an active social life, friends, bf, sex ect.
Thomas Long

Ryder Smith
Difference is girls can live a lot more comfortably on minimum wage especially since they can easily find men to help support them.
Ethan Robinson
No. The drivers test is just that hard. For some of us.
Brody Rivera
Where are you? In your situation I'd do the following: >learn to drive >get your EMT-Basic certification >this will give you social gains cause you'll be stuck in an ambulance with someone for a 12 hour shift >not a lot of money but more than 16k >use this to advance into a job in a hospital
Jacob Stewart

Carter Long
>23 >Drive own car >Finishing undergrad in STEM >Still DYEL >Never had GF >Have a single engine piston flight certificate >Work part time for a bank, help them with code
How do I rank?
Austin Rivera
Work construction or go to a trade school to get a decent physical job.
If you're mildly intelligent or have an actual passion (guessing you don't since you're in your situation) then pursue some schooling in college or something.
School is probably your best option right now. You're only 24. Get some schooling, get a decent paying job and then fix your shit from there. Being at your dad's house is probably better right now since you can save money and use that towards your future.
Don't be a faggot.
Christopher Garcia

Wrong. Getting a car is enslavement. You end up working to pay it off and maintain it, insure it etc.
I have been much freeer since I got rid of my car and moved closer to the city. I can cycle or use public transport, or rent a car if I want to go somewhere obscure for the weekend.
Also why are you suggesting night schools are you retarded? OP said he works night shifts. Also the only bullshit you learn in night school is how to make pasta potraits and dog grooming.

Got a girls number last night on the train, started with an opening of what tee should i wear to a group of 3 girls, then when two left to go to the toilet, I had a laugh at the last girl who was putting fake nails on. She called me over to sit beside her and we chatted shit and I was like well this is the point where I get your number isn't it, she was like oh are you asking, got her number, but then proceeded to get fucked up on booze and she hasn't replied?>Redpill me on texting/sc game please

i dont even know man. i just have zero hope about anything.
the social thing is bar none the worst part about life. i dont want to try to meet a girl because ive never done it before and know i wont know what im doing. then when she sees i have no life, well that sit for me with her. and honestly i dont even want to try to meet people as friends because when they see i have no life theyll drop me too. hell i dont even eat lunch with my coworkers because all i do is sit there quietly with no input since im a shut in autist
i assume that at some point im going to kill myself but i dont even think about that. i dont even have "feels' about how pathetic my life is. i literally dont even care
Thomas Taylor
Stop giving a fuck. You've nothing to lose so what does it matter if a girl laughs at you for trying to get a number or some shit. Just lift and go out with somebody to a club, just fucking anybody.
William Bennett
Then he won't have energy to lift and he'll become a DYEL possibly even fat. Oh wait he's on roids nevermind. Yeah no reason for him not to get into labor.
Ayden Foster
geez id legit kill myself. you sounds fucking pathetic dude. I felt pathetic that I didn't get my drivers license until I was 19, but jfc 24 and still? and still living with daddy? 16k is enough to find a place of your own, ive fucking done it on less and live in one of the most expensive places in the US. I think you're legit mentally retarded by the sound of it
Thomas Murphy
Dude I live in a city with a good job and lifts that probably exceed yours. I have a girlfriend so by many people's qualifiers I've "made it".
Either way you are paying off a car. Either way you are probably paying £1000 a year at least for a car; even if you buy it outright you have still saved that and have to save that in future. You then have insurance on top of that, road/car tax, fuel costs, and then maintenance as well. You are usually spending £2.5-3k pa on a car and that's not even a decent one.
Owning a car is choosing to pay a tax in order to get to work or have the illusion of freedom. If you think you need a car to have freedom and to "make it" you will never have either.
Have a car if you want but its not idiotic to not have one. I choose to put my money elsewhere.

Do people seriously drive like 45 minutes out just to participate in clubs and sports? I want to get into dance or some shit but not fuckin dedicate my life to driving back and forth.
I also want friends that I actually admire. How do I get Chad to like me?
Jayden James
Sucks. For me personally, people actually talk to me because I can act funny but I'm such a boring shut in private. I'm also embarrassed I'm still at a shit job (with a degree) while having to help out at home (obviously). I don't know what to do. I'm obviously not depressed because I work out and can still act normal every now and then, but I still have no meaningful friends.
Samuel Parker
>For me personally, people actually talk to me because I can act funny but I'm such a boring shut in private. I'm also embarrassed I'm still at a shit job (with a degree) while having to help out at home (obviously).
me as well man, i always make people laugh (have always been able to) but no one has ever wanted to turn that into friendship, probably because im just annoying
maybe people like us share traits or something
Nathaniel Perez
damn dude give the guy a break
Julian Wood
How unfortunate. I've actually been asked out multiple times, but I'm so fucking insecure I've turned them down every time. My family hasn't given up on me and that gives me hope sometimes. Damn we suck. I hate when people say l >at least you're smart and have your degree user!!! Makes me feel worse desu. To make it worse Im about to get laid off my good temporary job.
Elijah Hernandez
>Yeah you know you're just gonna wash away, slowly, a grey blip of nothing
Just more of a reason to anticipate our decay.
>There is no crash just more compromise for people like you
But there will be as more people "like me" continue to grow. There is an unprecedented amount of NEET's right now in society and they are continuing to grow. Once the bubble gets big enough and pops there will be problems. Does this mean you should just give up? No. You should always try to better yourself but others don't always have that mentality.

Americans don’t have public transport outside of big cities. If you don’t have a car you can’t even go to the fucking store, it’s ridiculous.

Chase Brown

There is nothing deep about meditations. You're going to meme yourself into a shit life because you believe simple life prose are for autists.

Wow man so deep. Did you learn that while reading prose? Why have you not married a beautiful pharaoh woman while conquering the fertile crescent?
Easton Gomez
HA >being this dedicated to being a dreg
Brandon Adams
since you dont know how to do it you start with very simple shit
when u get her number you text her something, when i got the number i would usually just write "get home safe" or "nice meeting you" something so they know its me
then i would just text ez shit like
"hi, whats up" -her reply- "cool, i want to meet up" -her reply- "see u there"
Juan Wood
...
Xavier James
I have lots of pent up aggression in regards to Meditations Next you'll be quoting Seneca
William Wilson
I am a fucking autist like. Usually I only pickup chicks when I'm drunk af, but I hold myself quite well until I just sleep. Should you wait a few days between getting number and texting her if she doesn't text first
Tyler Foster
if a girl asked for your number, would you like her to wait a few days before texting you or would you like her to text you the very next day?
Benjamin Brooks
>pent up aggression because of a book fucking soy boy
Samuel Wood
true, next day. So forget gentle convo and just straight ask out?
See i was worried about coming across as desperate
>second thoughts, don't ask number, ask out for coffee then say sure i'll get your number to arrange it
Landon Turner
if a girl texted you the next day, would you like her to keep a gentle convo or just straight ask u out?
Jackson White

work day ends around ~3 at the latest, you'll be tired but there's nothing better than hitting the gym around 6, having some dinner, and being sore and actually ready for bed by 9:30.
Ian Howard
Specifically autists quoting it yes Like I said, go conquer Gaul or someshit, LARPER
Dominic Torres
You're not free though. You said it yourself, you live in a city. Without a car in America, that's basically your only option. By not owning a car, you've signed away owning a home, yard, shed, porch, workshop, or any reasonable amount of space. If you're okay with that, fine, but just remember that you ARE major lifestyle tradeoffs to not owning a car.
Ryan Peterson
i read meditations, its pretty overrated
its basically just repeating the same thing over an over again
Bentley Roberts
I recognize this, but I aslo think its pretty shitty that American towns and cities were designed intentionally to need people to be a slave to a car
Brayden Clark
Fuck it, that's the new game plan. Keep it in person so I don't have to fuck around, just ask straight out. Any idea how to rescue one w/qt that I've fucked up by having convo?

I understand why foreigners failed to grasp the importance of vehicle ownership in the United States until I traveled to Asia and Western Europe.
Imagine that American average travel commute consists of 1.5 round trip excursions to your nearest neighboring town. Now, that may be for work, groceries, or even the gym. Please, if you will, also consider the fact that public transportation is all but nonexistent outside of major, popular metropolitan areas.
We need our cars for survival. Our country is large, our towns and cities dwarf yours by incomprehensible magbitudes due to most of them springing up after the advent of motorvehicles.
I would love to be able to walk or bus everywhere like a spoiled European, but I can't. I must drive. Consider yourself lucky.
Henry Baker
Sadly there's no real way around it. You can't have a reasonable and cost efficient public transport system in areas where everyone is spread out so thinly. American cities with garbage public transport don't really have much of an excuse though.
Lucas Evans
>referencing some third party pajeet soy boy whining about pajeets on Veeky Forums how pathetic
Dominic Martinez
Been texting a qt but like for a week on/off so I've sort of fucked that one up. Any idea how to re instigate and ask out or is it a straight up make plans sort of thing? And should I wait a few days to not look desperate because I feel like I've been blown off a bit
Oliver Ward
if you feel like you have been blown off you probably have been blown off.
Michael Robinson
Yeah it might end in 5-10 years but i would recommend using that time to better yourself and not whine about being depressed, and girls are easier than you think most of them are sluts.
