the thing to keep in mind is that by the time a girl finally gets to see your junk, you've already done 95% of the work of getting her to think that you're attractive, funny and charming enough to let you go down on her.

She'd have to be a real bitch to just reject you at that point, The same way if a girl allowed herself to be vulnerable in front of you you'd be a cunt to refuse her if she had a weird labia or something.

The sex is workable, you'll just have to spend longer eating her out or whatever. Also, women rarely orgasm from penetrative sex alone so the small dick thing doesn't put you at a "massive" disadvantage.

wear make up and put out more, you're an 18 year old girl, the world is literally you're oyster.

But no seriously, we don't know your situation so there isn't a massive amount we can help with.

I can offer some gross generalisations though.

>I'm 18, never had a bf because I found them all a bit well, dumb, in high school. University is shaping up to be even worse

From this I gather that your expectations exceed reality. There are two possibilities:
1. You're better looking and smarter than everyone around you.
2. You smartish but don't put a massive amount of effort into your appearance, and because of this guys (who are all shallow around your age, almost no exceptions) don't bother to get to know you and allow you to get to know them.

My guess, given that you're an 18 year old girl wasting her time talking to anonymous autists on 4chan, is it's more of the latter.
You aren't going to find a prince charming, maybe ever, few of us will.

This doesn't mean that you won't find happiness. try to think of people less as objects, accessories to stick onto your laundry list of hobbies:
>I read all the time, watch art-y movies (kind of the film equivalent to literature), play some video games, but not obsessively, play several instruments, speak two languages and am learning Russian and do Karate and surfing
Accept people for what they are; shit. and maybe you'll come to experience of grace in which you can truly show that you love them.

/pol/ memes aside, this site isn't as ideologically amorphous as you'd think.

The "all women are whores" thing is sadly ironic, and intentionally so I'd for most of the people that post shit like that, at least the more self aware posters.

Do you really think that people who spend half of their lives on a computer addicted to pornography and masturbational posting on an anonymous image board aren't aware of their own failure as human beings.

Few people here think that women are whores. They're mainly bored, and a little bit resentful, and playing the part.

I am her, and while I take some of the advice, I do think it'll be a while before I find a man I'm comfortable losing it too. I'm not some puritan who wants to save it till marriage, and I don't need 'the one' to be the only man ever. I think that's silly and unrealistic and probably going to lead to dissatisfaction.

What's that supposed to mean? I'm here because /lit/ is one of the rare places where you can learn and discuss (and meme) about literature that isn't filled with limp wristed SJWs (no worries I'm no /pol/ tard).

As for 4chan itself, I'm here because it's fun to browse this place.

But really anon, I am honest with you. I am an optimist, and I struggle to remember a time in my short life where I was sad or depressed for a significant amount of time. I have a very bright outlook on life in general, and my situation is slowly improving on top of that.

You're still only 18 and your life is only starting.

Being adversarial has nothing to do with screaming. In practical terms it has to do with how you present yourself, your body language and your starting the argument with the assumption of being right.

It has to do with your not expecting to receive anything of value from the other, and it's valid for men and women. Girls in particular though have to be treated more gently, because their sensitive that way.

It's a skill that comes with time.

I don't even know where female 5-8/10 rabble get their huge egos. It's like they live in a bubble. How does a "college 7/10" not die of envy and low self esteem when confronted with pic? Why do they never learn her place until they hit the wall and even then won't exactly beg to suck off some omega and take his load on their saggy faces?

If you say it comes down to male attention, I really don't understand why women would operate this way. If a bunch of 5/10 women shower me with attention I don't feel entitled to an 8 and being treated like a prince? Wtf is this dynamic. Why are females so shit?

This also comes from feeling that nobody really cares about what I have to say, which is why I am very quiet in the real world.
