Wtf nigga, is this the same anon? Also, let me explain tinder to you, since you seem to be a well adjusted person IRL. #1, take some good photos of yourself in different nice outfits. This may be tricky. I asked my friend to do it because she has a Canon. #2 put some short tagline in your bio about how you are dedicated to X and Y activities. #3 avoid all mention / association / imagery of trump and conservatism. #4 don't be autistic, just open with a "Hello [name], how's the season treating ya?" #5 you'll want to get snap and insta because that's how a lot of girls chat these days

If you're as decent-looking as you say, you can't fuck this up. My guess is that your pics aren't good enough, or women are judging you to be boring / conservative.

She has a 10/10 body and a beautiful face. Sex was insane though, we fucked every time we had the chance and I came on her face and in her mouth as we both enjoyed.

That's bad news, medicine is for drone Normies who want to feel scientific and all doctors are technicians, not even engineers and even less scientists.

all nurses are gigawhores, full of herpes and they give handjobs to the patients who have the biggest cocks

no joke

so it is normal for coomers and whores to idolize other coomers and whores.

Same thing for women and law schools.

loved my nyc school... while my friends abroad were learning dante or quran or whatever & studying classical languages in their schools, we were watching the rocky movies & getting assigned YA books. but i learned how to be cool and play dice games so who’s to say which is better


definitely learned more about literature from hanging out with high school dropout heroin addicts and talking about milton than from school, well educated euros don’t get this
