Western women look like shit.

Korean women are the supreme standard of beauty and elegance. They look beautiful and graceful on their own, while women in the west need to go pretty much naked, otherwise men wouldn't note their existence.

>>19953618
korean plastic surgeons are the standard, surely?

also: need a bit of a break from the chans, fellers. just gets a bit much. i'll be back, of course. i'm here forever, not that i mind.

Wrong. Korean women are the absolute best. They're the superior race.

It's crazy how 4channers hate the "normies" but jump like wojacks when a pretty normie woman on tiktok says something about preferring to date a certain race.

I am a shell. A disappointment whose family acts as nothing is wrong, but I see the disgust and boredom in their eyes while they look at me. Who are they to blame? I am but layers upon layers of facetiousness and crude emotion.

I feel shame when I sit with family and laugh and joke because otherwise I’m extremely depressed.

I was born to lose. Everything I try I fail at. I should just stop trying, it only causes me more pain.

I had a wet dream with my goth crush from college last night. Even though I haven't seen her in years, her face and shape was as crystal clear as I remembered (later today I saw a photo of her and I couldn't believe the accuracy in my dreams).

I tried to hook up with a goth girl last week, and unsurprisingly failed. Seems like my mind tries to comfort myself with the closest vignette that could satisfy my frustrated affair.

I feel so pathetic, now sort of obsessed with this typology. As if it wasn't hard enough to find someone who loves me back, now she has to be goth.

>tldr: tfw no goth gf

Why do I even try?

To learn

you guys have no idea how cringe I am

I think I suffer from sin of pride. I just cannot imagine myself being a blue collar worker without feeling regret every single day. Sure, I dont imagine myself being a top NASA scientist or very powerful politician. The cherry on top of this cake is me not knowing which career path to pick.

I'd like to encourage all of you with miserable and strange lives with the fact that most great thinkers, writers, and artists throughout history have been this way too. There are so many examples, actually, that the number of normal and well-adjusted men in this category is really very small. It doesn't always correlate with talent, but I think a lot of us have talent latent in us that we're snubbing by evaluating ourselves by the wrong standard - obsessed with being something contrary to our nature. Let's find out what we're each meant to do and go from there.

>>19957344
We’ve seen some heavy loads of it in our time. It was probably yours too, wasn’t it?

i love u

>>19957354

>>19957352
I don't necessarily post it here but yeah, I'm supa cringe and trying coming to terms with it.

>>19957351
i see your point but how does one focus when women invalidate your existence. it saps the desire to be better

>>19953618
my big issue is so many girls here these days are sneaky fat because they've been told it's okay

>>19957383
Just be like Newton and abandon women entirely for a higher purpose.

>>19953618
>>19957392
Part of reason so many koream are into facial surgery is because they tend to have passive facial features, simple ones, round, lacking characteristics, western not only is a vastly wider variety of facial styles, but yes generally can posses more angular and characterized features appearing as personalitied.

I can see the appeal and beauty of many Asian women in many levels. But at the same time they are of such a particular type. Whereas there are 100,000 western women with various Asian facial features and German and swedish and dutch and danish and finish and Italian and Russian etc.

>>19957435
That said the traditional, talented, well mannered, appreciative, quiet, hospitable, serving asian woman trope of geisha and tea house etc. Is for a man near ideal

>>19956812
I might. It’s hard to keep a routine.

>>19953266
longing for some kind of community but don't know where to start, long distance uni has really fostered my hermit tendencies lol

I woke up down and out and about that left there this right under sky above ground here is where sound smells dimly bright said Nobody the.

How do I know if a girl is interested in me?

>>19957435
I've seen some before and afters of Korean girls who got plastic surgery and honestly I think a lot of them looked better before. Even if they weren't beautiful by Korean standards, I think their old faces at least had some personality. Maybe it's just because I'm on the outside looking in, idk.

>>19957490
If she looks at your eyes for 27 seconds and does 0.75 blinks/s, then when you temporally shift sideways towards her you can taste the air a copper smell because the particles and she does the same manuever, like how animals know when to mate.

>>19953266
It feels really weird thinking I spent so many years alienated and sulking and how there is now a real future in front of me. I didn't even try to talk to women until I was 28 and now I realize it's incredibly easy. After losing 60 bs there was a handsome face hidden inside my body but there's no such discovery for the rest of me, for my mind or soul or whatever. For all the anticipation sex isn't that much better than masturbation. I have no idea what I did all of this for, or why I'm still keeping at it. There's no point to my sadness, and there's no point to my success either. I have a girlfriend, I have a job, a mortgage, a dog, and 'friends'. I don't really care for any of them. I could live without them and it'd be the same life. For the first time I really have no idea what it is I'm meant to do or be or even feel. Before at least I had some kind of grounding, a direction. Now there's nothing.

>>19957490
she'll actively engage with you, if she's passive she will look for opportunities to be around you. what is she like?

>>19957517
Shut the fuck up Nietzsche

>>19957499
Often the few times I've seen those before and afters, the before tends to appear masculine, so seems the desire to feminize. Into that man desired submissive woman role

>>19957520
wow that sounds awful

>>19957517
>you can taste the air a copper smell
whenever i kissed my ex there was a strong taste of metal in her mouth. at first i thought she must have had a tongue piercing or filling so it wasn't so. kind of weird i guess.

>>19957520
what direction did you feel before? you sound seriously depressed or possibly disillusioned. if the people in your life don't improve it then either find other people or do some introspection. the fact that your have a stable foundation now does not mean that you have to settle and be content.

I have to have my elderly cat put down soon. Thyroid, kidney, now blindness. She's seventeen years old.

She is the only family I have left.

This is the last thing tethering me to a human(e) identity, the last obligation, the last love - already something is withering, within me

>>19957490
she looks at you the way she looks at Chad (protip, she doesn't)

>>19957520
>I have a girlfriend, I have a job, a mortgage, a dog, and 'friends'. I don't really care for any of them
Many such cases.

>>19957531
I guess. Maybe I just like more 'masculine' women then.

The idea that sex (for leisure) is considered "important" in the same sense that drinking, eating, sleeping, and shelter are is literally insane to me. How did this phenomenon come to be?

>>19953266

Fucking is a fun game for Chads (10% of men) and roasties (90% of women). For the rest of us, it's a carrot on a stick, a bait to commit to wageslaving.

My mind has been bugging me recently. I’ve been having some trouble sleeping. My mind is wondering and it has a habit of worrying. It just won’t stop. Sometimes, I think to myself, ‘this will just go away eventually.’ Sometimes it works out that way, and sometimes it doesn’t. There’s this one thing though, the thing I’m worried about, that keeps coming up again and again and again and again. It’s that when I think to myself, ‘This will go away.’ If it doesn’t go away, well then that’s just life and life is like that sometimes, I guess.

It came up the other day. I was wondering if I should go and see my psychiatrist. I had an appointment lined up for a few weeks time. I’m not entirely sure what I wanted to ask him/her about. I guess I just wanted to see if I was crazy or if I was just overthinking everything. I don’t want to talk to a psychiatrist unless I’m really struggling with something. There’s this one moment when I think to myself that I’ll never leave it alone and it’ll never end, but really I’m just overthinking the whole thing.

Youtube keeps throwing me these jezebels talking about books and I can't stop watching them...

Leaving my phone in a different room helps a lot for me.

I have a real problem trusting my own feelings. I often wonder where my thoughts and attitudes come from and by what process do they evolve? If I feel one way in 2020, another way in 2021, and then back to the original feeling in 2022 which is the feeling to trust? Do I go with the older feeling because it is more authentic? But then the second feeling occurs for a reason. Hard to know.

There's been a couple of half decent threads today. Saw a lot of posts of people actually discussing literature. Feels like that's rare these days.

Schizophrenia

To the anon whose thread about porn just got deleted the fifth time:

Where do you hang out that you keep stumbling across porn? I read a lot and widely and have only come across pornographic material when I was looking for it. Maybe Europe is a little different than America. What does that mean for you as a writer in America? If you want to go the artist route, write what you like and trust that your passion will translate to the reader. If you want to go the commercial route, then maybe you should go by the market. I don't know. I have no intention of selling my soul to the devil so he can desecrate my piping hot hairless pink asshole with his thick black coal-smeared trident tail, slip it right in there.

The Stoics are wrong when they claim that the mind is independent. As an outflow of the body, the mind is dependent on the body. But this does not harm their conclusions, because, although the mind is not completely free, it is the freest thing we possess.

Wish I had a big dick. Any decent looking girl older than 18 already got dicked hard by Chad and my 6 inches can't compete against that. Maybe she'd enjoy the attention and feelings I'd provide, maybe she'd even like me as a person, but sexually she'd still be attached tothose mind-blowing cummies Chad gave her with his masculine frame a powerful cock. What's the point?

Whatever. I don't give a fuck. It works but you have to be precise and don't overdo it. There's a solution to your problem as I said. It's been done and has worked with no complications. Sick of spoonfeeding it to anons though, because everytime, despite the positive results they find something, anything to bitch about, often making shit up because they didn't read the studies. Fuck that. Fuck all of you.

It's been years and the patent is still up and gets updated sometimes, so I assume it didn't fuck up the dicks of the 10 men who tried it. The risk is not following the dosage or getting access to shitty unpure products.

I vividly remember when my dad bought us our first computer. Very early 2000s, dad suddenly decided to buy a computer from some store, no idea what compelled him to since he's a construction worker and knew absolutely nothing about them (and still doesn't). My life would have been very different had he not bought it.

I think I have a phobia of sex after years of abuse by my dad

>have a dream I'm sitting across from her on a subway
>she's actually a demon and wants to have sex with me, which will kill me
>the other passengers try to hold me down so she can have her way with me, but I managed to escape to a nearby carnival
I also had a dream the cheerleaders at my old uni were having a practice on the field and I left out at them with no clothes on and started masturbating, only for a giant piano to fall on me and kill me

Thos nice pakistani gentlemen from my dream last night sure knew how to keep the endo burning, I don't think you're allowed to smoke in a hospital though
And on another note, my friend must have shot me to death several times last night. It was one of those try (the same scenario) until you die treats of a dream.

capitalism destroys all

I'm getting mad fucking annoyed that apparently everyone is being a fucking sex-pest. I don't understand how it comes to be that almost anyone with even a little bit of fame is apparently a pedophile, a rapist, or is best friends with one. Every goddamn day there's a new "controversy" about something.

>>19959074
Does that surprise you? Men strive for money and to influence just to gain access to more exciting pussy.

I have no idea what prose is

There's a family picture I can't get over with, it always make me feel terrible. It's my brother and I with our parents, when we were young. I was already a depressed angry fuck there, so I'm making a face, so are my parents, maybe I grew on them, maybe it was just the circumstances, but my brother is there smiling and giving a thumbs up and it just crushes my heart whenever I see it. That kind of innocence is long gone. Makes me feel even more terrible that I wasn't able to appreciate it when it lasted. He had a look of genuine happiness and optimism. Maybe this is how my parents felt when they looked at me. I also had that look at his age.

>>19959085
I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm surprised. I'm fully aware that the super-successful are barely even human anymore, but I guess I expected that the ones who became so through more or less random happenstance instead of the psychopathy required to put money and fame above even basic human decency would at least be somewhat more down-to-earth.

>>19959092
prose is how something is written.

>>19959102
Most people are a bag of impulses that they are barely aware of and most definitely not in control over. We are born with an unconscious set of systems in our heads and the only thing they are pushing us towards are material comforts that they then reward us for achieving. Most people, if given the opportunity, will debase themselves for pleasure.

>>19959114
And that's a good thing. Let your primitive instincts drive you rather than cold calculating thinking or a random set of morals.

I am fucking baffled at how lacking my prose has become. I've never really been that much interesting in reading and writing but I could at least create articulate sentences in text. Nowadays everything I write and type feels robotic. This is really fucking with me because I've recently undertaken a project involving writing, and while that written word is supposed to be spoken, I still find myself adjusting what I write to be read instead of heard. It would be better if I just left all my ideas as bullet points and spoke about them naturally but what I'm doing requires my thoughts to be put in an organized manner - which can only be accomplished with the ability to change what has been written because I can not change what has been spoken.

>>19959139
It's because you spend too much time on the internet and eat trash food, but you probably know that already.

>>19959198
You're fooling no one.

Having not read much or any contemporary lit from my peers, and then reading if only a small excerpt and finding things to enjoy about it, after having given up my attempt at being a creative writer years ago, I do wonder how many enjoyable, valueable unknown creative writing peers are out there that cannot get their works in my vision.

This of course is the importance of hubs, there are likely 1000s of small unique creative experimental boundry pushing genius writers out there writing great stuff I would enjoy reading, but I'm not about to look up each press and comb through the thousands of book summerys to take my chance on choosing the book of a contemporary but historically significant author.

So maybe the smartest and coolest and noblest and most openly tasteful anons of lit can find and know each other and start an online digital press, to try to host the highest possible quality and genius of contemporary writers. To make a curated hub with the highest aim.

Maybe the books can be 5 dollar e book downloads or something, maybe ir grows they can eventually print physical copies.

It starts with a hub of proven taste, a known sphere that is worth flocking to, that one can trust it's curation, I have experienced anons of intrigue, ~genius, and taste here, so this is a hub I am attracted to.

The difficulty is how many bad books does the hub runners host and promote before the quality of the hubs tastes is declined and unattractive. There is a bemoaning claim of contemporary lack of quality, so to honor that belief one must be most viggiliant in only hosting the highest possible quality on this theorized digital press.

I want to do something, but I get scared: of failure, of ridicule, of many things I cannot name. Here the complications begin. I try to reason with my fears, I turn to philosophy, to religion... What do you think: am I successful?

I think from now on, I'll just do what I want to do and take the fall.

when ancient people called God all-loving, all-merciful and the like i imagine they said it in the same way one would laud the kindness of a tyrannical monarch or a mob boss. somewhere along the line autistic theologians took it as a fact and caused all kinds of problems and tied themselves in knots trying to explain it as a consequence

To my soul:
Are you ever going to achieve goodness? Ever going to be simple, whole, and naked - as plain to see as the body that contains you? Know what an affectionate and loving disposition would feel like? Ever be fulfilled, ever stop desiring - lusting and longing for people and things to enjoy? Or for more time to enjoy them? Or more some other place or country, 'a more temperate climate'? OR for people more easier to get along with? And instead be satisfied with what you have , and accept the present - all of it. And convince yourself that everything is the gift of God, and that things are good and always will be, whatever He decides and has in store for the preservation of that perfect entity - good and just and beautiful, creating all things, connecting and embracing them, and gathering their separated fragments to create more like them.
Will you ever be able to stand as a fellow man with God and society, blaming no one, deserving no ones censure?

Aurelius' cracks me up sometimes.
>how they act when they eat and sleep and mate and defecate and all the rest. Then when they order and exalt, or rage and thunder from on high, and yet just consider the things they submitted to a moment ago, and the reasons for it, and the things they'll submit to again before long

I am feeling a bit lost in life at the moment. I've been getting my shit together for the past few years and basically my only reason for doing so has been so that people would like me enough to be around me. Fast forward to now and I'm still feeling very empty and depressed, even though I've got most things in order in my life. It seems like the only problem I have been having ever since I was like 13, is the lack of emotional support / social contact. I grew up in an extremely sheltered family with dysfunctional parents. Both of them cut off contact with their families so I basically only had them and my siblings growing u. My mom was very overbearing and would emotionally manipulate me and scare me so that I wouldn't do things that she didn't want me to and then my dad was autistic and basically wasn't there for me at all. I feel like I have been emotionally ruined. I just cannot seem to open up to people and let my guard down, I can't be natural, I can't be myself. I don't trust anyone. I constantly try to anticipate reactions, analyze situations and try to minimize the chance of getting hurt. All I want is to be around people, to smile, to talk, to do silly things.. I don't care about any of the other things that I'm being successful in. My whole life has been a constant struggle to achieve some kind of normalcy. I don't get why people get children just like that, without considering what life will be like for them.

Possibilities:
i. To keep on living (you should be used to it by now)
ii. To end it (Wasn't your choice, after all)
iii. To die (having met your obligations)
Those are the only options. Reason for optimism.

My most beautiful ideas are lies and misunderstandings.

Why have I been able to completely get over the temptation of looking at porn, masturbation, looking at women, sex etc. but still can't really get over gluttony and the pleasures of the palate? No matter what, I still find myself (when hungry) looking forward to food, enjoying it, desiring more than I set out to eat, craving it, eating a little more than I set out to etc. How do you abolish these desires? Why did God make this so messed up?

>>19960540
Are you me?

If you know what you want, then do what it takes to achieve it, and don't put obstacles in your way, don't justify your actions, pursue your goal even if it is baseless, and do it with a cold brow and cold eyes, unreasonably if you must, irresponsibly if you must. That's what he said. He rolled the condom off of his stiff cock, towering above his lover's ass, a twink boy called Roddy, who, up until now, had managed to avoid the bug, by pure miracle, it seems, by the grace of God – but alas, all things must pass.

>>19960540
Try fasting if you haven’t already.

>>19960540
How did you beat the temptation for porn and masturbation?

>>19960540
You've got to distance yourself from a desire in order to overcome it. In this case it means fasting or changing your diet.

The analytical part of my brain works best when I let it work uncontrolled in the subconscious. The judgements bubble to the surface and are flawless (which doesn't mean they are correct) - so: banish the analysis to the subconscious, to the automatic. But what do I do with the brain capacity this frees up? I concentrate it on my emotional world and the emotional world of my fellow human beings. The world only becomes deep through feeling, through experiencing - that's what I want to bite on, this line of thinking, and become a scholar, a scholar of feeling and sensing.

big dicks will rule the world

Why do I have to have such a hard time with relationships? We need to have a conversation about the unique difficulties spergs have navigating romance. Some of them at least have the same desire for it as anyone else, but face unique hardships dealing with it. They are just as worthy of love as anybody else, and just as capable of it. If only normies took the effort to understand what makes them tick. Of course normies wouldn't find those disabilities attractive--unless they think it's cute for some idiosyncratic reason--and would prefer a more frictionless dynamic with other normies. But that's not fair because spergs need love too.

Here is a complicated question of where to draw the line between personal preference and discrimination. The difference. I believe, is the presence of stigma in the latter and its absence in the former. The stigma can be overcome by society and morally, it ought to. Alas. All is fair in love and war.

I can't fucking get myself to write this stupid 10-page paper for my political science class. I hate everything about this class. I only have 8 days left and I haven't even chosen a topic. Even doing the bare minimum of research just feels absolutely tedious.

>>19960763
The main thing I wish normies would understand is how much of a source of distress relationship difficulties can be for those on the spectrum. How much it guts them that they just don't "get it." The feeling of defectiveness and alienation as others just seem to pair up and move along in life. And they have to suffer this not because they are worse, less beautiful, or less deserving, but because of how their brains are wired. It's a special kind of hell few can understand.

Ah yeah, then that's completely fine.
By the way, your last sentence grosses me out, not because of your lack of proficiency but becase of the overly politeness of the tone (just try to imagine a redditor talking here). "Tôi" and "Bạn" is generally taught as the standard translation for "I" and "you" in english but those are very rarely use in casual conversation due to how neutral as possible it sounds. I genuinely cannot imagine a VN version of 4chan what kind of pronouns would get picked up that fits with this site's environment.

I know, I was just playing it safe. Though I could probably guess you're a male in your early to mid 20s? Also I don't think it's an ugly language at all, just phonetically very different and difficult. I still get tongue tied trying to speak it.

I have absolutely no passion or interest in anything other than reading. There are certain things I can pay attention to a while, but reading is the only thing that I have loved for a long time and which still inspires me.

I wish it wasn't so impossible to be an academic these days. I think, like many anons here, in a different generation I would have been an academic. But I don't want to be fighting over scraps barely able to find a job.

Well I might be exaggerating it a little bit, i dont dislike it that much, but generally whenever I tried to pick up a translation of some classic or philosophy work it's always so clunky and the prose is completely ruined. This is what most of my hatred for it comes from, i dont know if i should blame it on the big gap between 2 languages itself or simply the incompetent of the translator or just my own bias of the original. I wonder if other language has the same problem

As long as I don't get something absolutely terrible I'll be content with that.

The kitchen smelled of butter. Butter churned from the night before. Two plates adorned the table top. The red plate, displayed three large pancakes, while the blue plate, adorned a single large waffle. The smell of both delicacies mixed together forming an aroma of buttermilk, vanilla, and eggs. The steam from the two plates rose slowly, enticing even the most diet conscious person to break their vow and have a taste. The two plates were not alone.

"Waffles are much better than pancakes!" said the boy, swallowing his saliva.
"No way! Pancakes are much better than waffles!" replied the girl, handling a knife and fork in each of her hand.
"You're crazy! The minute the sweet drizzle of maple syrup fills each comb inside the waffle, the waffle's buttermilk flavor enhances to indescribable and unmatched taste," the boy said as he took the small jug of syrup and poured it over the blue plate holding his prized breakfast cake.
"Disgusting, waffles need so much syrup you may as well drink the syrup straight from the bottle! The soft fluffy texture of the pancake easily fills up my mouth and allows for easy swallowing unlike the ridged and tough grooves of the waffle. Just a drop of syrup is enough to bring out the flavor of the pancake. Butter does not even spread well on waffles. Each comb cuts and breaks apart the butter, leaving an uneven mess of a breakfast item. Pancakes on the other hand allow for a smooth spread that can be appreciated anywhere."
'What? If you're so confident about pancakes how about we have a bet?" cried out the boy.
"What's the bet?"
"I'm going to spread my cum onto your pancakes and you spread your cum onto my waffle, and we have a taste test! If you can still swallow your pancakes even after being drenched in cum then I will admit that pancakes are better. Deal?" challenged the boy.
"Your cum? That's disgusting! That's not even a real bet. Besides, you can't even make enough of it to cover the surface of the pancake!"
"Fine, then we'll have to ask all our friends to join in!"
"No! That will just ruin the taste! You can't have different cum on the pancake! Cum doesn't all taste the same! There's only one way to settle this then."
"How? I'm all ears."

The boy locked eyes with the girl steeling his nerves to the solution that she has in store for the two. Their cakes were cooling down from the commotion, as neither taken a single bite. The wind rattled the shutters as a tumbleweed rolled in the backyard. The clouds outside casted a shadow and shaded the two combatants ready to end the timeless conflict between pancakes and waffles.

The high school and college experiences aren't real. Hollywood lied to me

"I'm just one of those personalities, maybe" he said, "One of the many who can't stand to toil any longer in their mess. Who would trade anything for a fresh start?"

After all, in all his time on this earth he was sure he'd made feats to be proud of and stood in the graces of respected men and women.
His work had always suggested a higher caliber of experience than his appearance let on, and any subsequent bravado of character was inspired, really. In any matter, he was unapologetically human.
Yes, he had been proud. He had been ambitious and envious - ambivalent and alienating at times. He had had been loved and appreciated one day, criticized and scorned the other - at least he had been the subject of their imitation. In this sense, he had felt always somewhat revered. Even if he evoked the sentiments of a fool, he could not help but feel fulfilled by all of it, and for all of it, he had nothing left.
Still the pervasiveness of obscurity and doubt ate into his brain like maggots through a carcass.
Dogged was the spectre of the deprecating spirit.

"Yes, it must be so."

gluttony isn't enjoying food and eating a little more than you set out to. it's eating in excess to the point where it's harmful to your health and goes hand in hand with hoarding way more food than you could ever eat. God didn't make it messed up, our brains enjoy food and sex for a reason. the seven deadly sins are about excess to the point of death or serious health issues. that's why they're deadly, because it's easy to overindulge in any of them. but enjoying or performing them in moderation isn't deadly, just a slippery slope for some people.

like, feeling jealous or angry. you can entertain those emotions and let them go, as long as you don't act them out or get wrapped up in them. being a little greedy once in a while is encouraged because it makes us feel like we're doing something special for ourself, but hoarding resources to the point where you let others die or fall ill is when it becomes a deadly sin. and taking pride in your work is what makes it quality, but becoming too prideful can lead to something bad, etc.

I check his neck for a pulse, I waste a second getting squeamish about doing cpr, before doing it, I notice his head looks all deflated like a warped balloon.
