I get the feeling that most people here are 17-23 or so.
I'm 32 and I feel really shitty about it.
If you think I shouldn't feel that way, then tell me so.
Just having a hard time relating to people my age these days. All my friends from high school and college are married and have kids and "real" jobs. They certainly don't have any geeky interests, or not any compared to the sort that I do. I know there are older geeks out there but I really don't know how to connect with them outside of rather meaningless encounters on the Internet.
I'm back at college now so I'm surrounded by people aged 18-22. "Well then," you might say. "That sounds good, right? You're probably more comfortable being with people younger than you are." If only that were the case. I really don't "get" anyone here and most students here get on my nerves terribly. I mean, I'm a tremendously irritable person with depression, but man, every dude here seems like a tremendous douchebag and all the girls... well, some are nice but I can't help but feel like I have no business talking to them, being so much older than they are. They probably think I'm a creep (or a "creeper," as I guess people like to say now). There's really nothing going on at this school anyway besides fraternities and people playing drinking games. Can't say I'd be involved in those at any age, really.
20 years and counting
I'm 19
And age is just a measuring tool,
Just be cool, open, and yourself
I'm 19 like most of you. I don't have a problem meeting people. I don't dislike people in my age group usually, the same goes for people of any age.
Sometimes I'll just tackle encounters with older people in a way that's really just for the hell of it. I'm taking a class involving blacksmithing, and there's a man who is probably around 30 years old in there, among mostly earlier 20's people. He's very sociable and is super involved in the course like you wouldn't believe. Some of the things he says though, it just puts me off. As in, some of the things he says to me are creepy.
One day after class, me and him were in the shop, all others had left. . .
"You insanity and genius are closely related?"
Excuse me?, I reply. Then he started to almost immediately go into discussion on why we are going to school and the reasons why he is. Out of nowhere this guy started off on a philosophical lecture, noting to me that I should do what interests me, and to live richy, fully, deeply.
I'm almost 21.
21 and already plenty filled with social fail.
Haha I'm soo young im 14
im 15 right now...
i prolly shouldnt be on here....
but i really like reading stories about people and not trolling....
also i like to share some stories too :P
and im new to this place....

Warning: the following will kill the “magic” of love for you. Like the magician’s livelihood, it is the mystery that keeps it alive. Whether you want to leave it alone is up to you; but sometimes, that magician is a jerk and makes your wallet disappear. If you’d like to make sure that doesn’t happen, read on.

The one thing about love that makes it so difficult for us all, is the complete lack of any real rules or guidelines. We are left to make our own understanding of this vague feeling. What we’re here to do today, is to define what love is exactly. It’s very important to know at least this much; as G.I. Joe once said, “Knowing is half the battle!” Here’s what they didn’t teach you in school, kids.
>>46 There are good posts slamming the OP throughout the thread. There's really no need for detractors to establish any more credibility. Playing the age card can't be avoided with the content of the OP's posts.
This is how love is defined psychologically speaking. Take a look. It's basically describing the components of love and how love can take many different forms. Every type of love can be explained with this model. from love of a family member to love of a car, to your gf, to your baby etc...
I don't see why love has to be treated like it's science. It's this...this attempt to classify everything that has made us null to exploring our feelings and understanding what we, you, and I want out of life, love, relationship, marriage, whatever. We expect high, we get low, we run away, and we learn to appreciate what we had. That's love.
science is how men make sense of the world. it does seem unhumanistic to define love using a triangle of words, but when you think about in this format, it does explain love quite well.
Analyzing something to understand it better doesn't make it any less meaningful. Personally, I believe connecting with others is the greatest pleasure in life. It's important that we properly understand these things. Otherwise, we hurt not only ourselves, but others as well, with misled beliefs such as that fate will bring you together with "the one", or that you have to stop loving someone when you break up because you can only love one person, or that gay love is wrong. If we actually look at what love truly is, we find that there's no real reason for any of this. They're usually just arbitrary rules based on whatever we feel that love should be. Sometimes we have to detach ourselves from our feelings for a moment to find the truth.
Critical thinking makes the world a little less magical, sure; but the amount of pain and heartache it prevents is most certainly worth it.
Some people choose to love everyone and simultaneously choose to be with only one partner. Some people choose to love one person and simultaneously choose to be with multiple partners. Love can't be denied if it's love. Relationships is entirely different from love. Emotions are emotions as well. Personally, I don't care whether or not "society" has influenced me in any way. I choose to love as many people as I can while simultaneously reserving my most intimate self for one individual; the one who I have the strongest emotions for and the one who I have the strongest attraction to. It's just more comfortable to live my life that way.

My sister is going to 4th grade and she told me and our parents that her new teacher told her she has to be his girlfriend or she will get a 1 (fail grade).
Now my sister told me first and I went to talk with the teacher to ask to see my sister's grades, because one time before my sister made up a story about a friend of mine asking her to fuck him.
But this time it seems to be true, her last grade is a 1. I ask the teacher why did she get it, and he says that the story she wrote as homework had bad grammar. Now I say she told us about his demands, and will be in trouble. Then he started acting all cool, like oh it's a mistake and he mixed up the grades and it's really a 5, but I tell him he can't get away with it.
Then he says to me, he always does this to 4th graders because they are the cutest at this time, with breasts just started to bud. And that mostly he is successful and it never happened that a girl told her family. This is kind of fascinating for me, I also find 4th graders very sexy. However I never knew how to approach them.
Get naked. Cover yourself with chocolate and gummy bears. Stick a piece of paper onto your chest with "looking 4 10yo gf ive got kandy" written on it with multiple coloured markers. Walk to your local elementary school early in the morning so you don't melt and wait for school to open. Fail. Get caught and publicized in local news reports. An hero.
Just be friends. I never knew how to make friends, but I'm sure if you apply the same method of making friends to a fourth grader, she'd mimmick (in your mind) a girlfriend. But like I said, don't even bother with sexual stuff with chidren until they're atleast 12+.
Firstoff, you buy a big gorilla suit. With a slit in just the right place.
Then, you pull up to her elementary school, and just as she's getting out to get onto the school bus, get out of your car, charge at her while beating your chest, and howl "ARRRROOOOOO!!! I'M COMING TO RAPE YOU!!! AWWOOOOO HERE COMES SOME RAPE!!!" Then, consummate your relationship with her in the most savage fashion.
Be very careful though. If your sexual rage goes too far, surely you will crush her pelvis, and you will lose your chance for something really really good.
Good luck man.
I seriously hope you are only joking. Although it is a sick joke. Stay away from little girls. Pervert. The rest of you posting suggestions are just as sick and twisted as the original poster. Knock it the fuck off. Not funny@! I'm a mom of a small child and I don't find this amusing at all.
Troll or trolled, I'm not sure

I know just about nothing about Romance. So when I started liking this one girl, I tried to get closer to her, but all that happened was we became close friends. I'm not sure how to go for the romance angle now that we're such good friends, and it's the age-old cliche of "I don't want to risk losing our friendship."
All this developed only in the past month, but already we're close enough that I really don't want to lose her as a friend. Help!
Update, in case anybody cares.
We are still having great times together. I somehow feel closer now than ever before. I feel like I'm finally getting places! I keep repeating this, but it's hard to believe how much I've changed since posting >>1. At the point I'm at now, even if I somehow lose her (God forbid) I won't be completely lost. I'm no longer desperate. This relationship really started as desperation, looking back. I would have been crushed had she rejected me, I'm just really lucky she didn't. But the point is that now I am no longer weak. We love each other!
Obligatory update for the millionth time: We are still going out. I love her so much!
Thats great to hear mate. Obligatory best wishes for the millionth time. :)

I hate you and all you stand for. But continue to make bombing runs, my shelter is actually getting pretty solid now.
OP here with a 13-year-old update.
Looking back on this thread, I realize how immature and self-centered I was. I thought I was in love, when really I was just desperate to be in love (and also horny) and thus prepared to fall in love with whoever showed some interest in me. And as our relationship went on, I went from shy and awkward to dominating and demanding; both sides really stem from self-centeredness.
In retrospect she was much more emotionally and socially mature than I was. Really, she was an angel to have put up with all my bullshit for so long. Around 2009, after some time in a long distance relationship, we parted ways; although I was the one that suggested it, I secretly regretted it and went through a very embarrassing and stereotypical "crazy breakup" phase, getting angry at her for no good reason. She forgave me though, and we remained distant friends, although the rift never quite healed, and also I think she must have started to realize in hindsight what an asshole I was (as did myself). Our online chats gradually grew less frequent, and so we drifted away...
We don't talk anymore, but judging by social media she seems to be doing well for herself. As for me, I think I've grown a lot as a person. I am now happily married to a woman whom I deeply love. Honestly everything still worked out pretty great in the end. My only regret is that I wished I could have apologized to my first love back when it would have meant something, for everything I put her through. I could apologize now, but I think it would come off as inappropriate and tone deaf if I said it now.

you are right in almost everything, i was very impolite and disrespectful in my post
however, this is not a hobby, he is, like almost everyone, looking for a "girardian" scapegoat
well, i will never leave my parents' house i will not leave this house to destroy my family forever as protestant demons want so much
family has to stay close, family members are not shoes that, when your feet grow too big, you throw away so that you don't get too tight
at the very least, i will insist on buying the land next door, as my ancestors did
Become interested in the political party opposite him specifically so you can get in fights with him and have an excuse to beat him up.
Force your dad to read a fucking book instead of "learning" about "politics" via television.

Pretty shit hobby if all it involves is getting upset at things on TV that you cannot change.

If OP's father cares enough about politics to get into a fight with his own son over it then he really is the bigger faggot in this situation
I'm now convinced politics are a scourge on society. When I was young, everyone was stupid and uninformed and it was pretty great. Not people are "informed," but mostly with misinformation.
Before, no one made any assumptions about other people. Now, they make judgement calls because of their base political ideology. Bring back political apathy. People are fucking crazy now.
That's what decades of cold war propaganda does to the American population and because they're a majority on most popular platforms we've got to deal with their children-tier understanding of political theory.
Does actual love between two men exist? Am I doomed to be just having sex, without actual love, forever?
The secret of life is that the people you love and the people you want to have sex with aren't the same groups at all. Sexual attraction is antithetical to real love.

The truth about love is that nobody truly loves anyone anymore

That's gay.

Yeah, How do you expect your NAP/Peace to last without some kind of army? People are stupid, and even a small group can cause a lot of disruption if riled up enough. Also, if you're ancom, do you really expect a command economy to be able to predict the needs of billions of people, after seeing how resources in the USSR turned out? Give the workers democratic control over the means of production if you wish, I'm rooting for ya, but without a market and just enough government to keep things in check but not suffocate that socialist market you're pretty donezo.
I'm waiting for automation to turn everyone into a NEET.

Well when work is abolished the NEET label is going to stop making sense.
I know that many people have a latex fetish, but in my version of it, the latex is slowly tightening around the person's body, hugging them more closely as they are teased around the edge of orgasm. No, it isn't a breathplay thing, I would very much prefer if the person was still able to breath during this process, just the tightening. I usually either see the breathplay previously mentioned or the exact opposite(inflating the latex) and very rarely my taste on it. Are there any others on the board who share this sentiment?
latex is heinously anus
No.
So, there’s this girl I go to school with, let’s call her Rachel. We exchanged numbers and emails for a school project, and still occasionally message each other. But recently, she hasn’t been responding to my emails or texts!
Do you think Rachel is okay? Should I call her?
dicks out for Harambe
Be serious, please!
Threaten to kill her family until she responds.
Threaten to kill another gorilla until she responds.
Incidentally mine has the same name, and she had blocked me, since all she was doing was leading me on, until I was sick of it and texted her about it. These days we're on okay terms and still I try to charm her in hopes of winning her heart. She still hasn't unblocked me; she must think she has me wrapped around her finger. It's true.

Stop being such a fucking loser and get some balls, man.
At the current time, my options in girls to pursue are pretty much as follows:
1) Girl who I dated for over a year and have no intention of dating again, but would date me again in a heartbeat.
2) Girl who said she would date me if we didn't live 200 miles apart (I'm in KY, she's in AL.)
3) 15-year old mallrat with a nice personality, cute, but still, she's 15. I'm 20. Things would be difficult.
4) 16/17 year old girl who digs me, but has 0 personality.
Sigh.

unless you are abnormally small or large then in matters

I wasn't being sarcastic or anything if that's what you think. It requires a pretty small penis to fit into a toilet paper roll, and then with a sock? I've tried it!
