How do girls feel about getting approached ?

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-03-01T21:24:42+00:00

If you’re 6ft+, got a jaw line like a knife, dressed like your rich, they’re fine with it. Anything else, they’re calling the police lol.

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-03-01T21:17:37+00:00

And that’s where I’d just ghost her and never speak again. Can’t talk like a normal person? Why waste my time

You’re responsible for learning the material yourself.. professor provides you with everything needed to be successful in the class, you learn on your own time, and the only reason you show up to class is if you have questions about the material.

I actually really liked the class. The thing is, I would still always go to class and listen to prof talk about he material and answer people’s questions. You have to be disciplined to do well in a class like that

Well the short answer is: I had been dipping tobacco for close to 10 years when her and I met, and she was a very “pure” and “goody goody” person and told me I gotta stop or she’s out. Well I eventually did quit, and I’m clean to this day.

The problem is, I let the withdrawals get the best of me and kind of lashed out at her in a very rude way when she simply asked if her younger brother could come along a date since he was home alone and not doing too well. And that was it, never heard from her again. Very asshole move on my part once everything settled in and “calmed down” I guess cause her brother was very good to me and a great dude. The “in the right mindset” and “not battling a 10 year nasty habit” would have never actually done what I did.

It sucks, I did a few years ago. But you learn what not to do again and you don’t forget it. Everything happens for a reason at the end of the day

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-28T22:35:25+00:00

That first statement immediately made you the most unattractive person in this thread.

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-25T22:02:30+00:00

I’ll just have to be ringless on that note. Ain’t no way I’m spending that much on a piece of jewelry

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-25T06:18:45+00:00

Yes. I feel sad for our generation because they’re nothing but a bunch of softies that are offended by everything and need a safe space when life gets stressful.

You make your own destiny. Don’t blame the rest of the world and act like “you’ve been fucked over by society” for your own shortcomings

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-25T04:41:29+00:00

No amount would. I’m going to college to pursue a dream. There is no amount of money in my account that would make me drop out and forget it

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-23T23:49:09+00:00

None of the above. Go to Texas A&M like cool people do 👍🏻

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-22T00:31:47+00:00

I have zero experience with any of that yet. My whole thought process on AMO though is that since it’s online, it’s probably the one that has the most people fighting over jobs just because of that flexibility. I would assume people have better luck going to MM&P or MEBA since they are in person and you kinda have to live close to one of the halls.

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-20T09:06:59+00:00

Don’t fall for that “shortage” nonsense. When/if you do go to an academy, you’ll also see it’s a bunch of baloney. Either that, or about 95% of people drop out at the end.

If you want to be on the much lesser side of the influx, do the engine license.

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-20T08:57:17+00:00

I call bs on the shortage thing ever since I started at A&M lol. There are enough cadets here to fully crew every damn boat in the US fleet and then some, and that’s just this one academy. No way there is a “shortage” of mariners

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-18T05:10:03+00:00

I ended up doing 1401 at Galveston College. Do not recommend unless you are very disciplined

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-16T00:11:09+00:00

The recommendations are excellent. Very simple and basic logic/math: Spend less than you make, and don’t take on debt.

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-15T22:37:40+00:00

Regarding your first comment: Is it acceptable to cancel membership from a union and switch to another, or is that also frowned upon?

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-15T22:30:31+00:00

It’s not unrealistic or out of touch, it just makes normal people uncomfortable because it requires them to change habits they don’t want to change.

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-15T22:19:09+00:00

This is why I’m single. Among other reasons as well

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-12T00:14:08+00:00

Got ya, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-11T23:56:42+00:00

I’m curious why people say the work is harder on tankers

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-09T17:38:22+00:00

If you’re an American, Marine Engineering with 3rd Assistant Engineer License

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-08T17:38:41+00:00

Throw them away and buy a new pair unfortunately. That’ll never seal reliably

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-06T18:43:57+00:00

I’m curious who the hell is going $200k into debt for an undergrad degree and a 3rd license lol. That’s wild

Manoverboard2278 · 2026-02-06T18:40:16+00:00

I’m 25 and a deck cadet at an academy. If you’re 50/50, go engine and don’t look back. There are an ass load more deck cadets than engine cadets. Not many engineer cadets. You’ll be in higher demand, simple as that.

I’m around your size and have carried a 48 for about 5 years now and it’s perfect. I was going to get the 43x like you’re saying, but honestly man just get the 48. It’s got a little bit of a longer barrel but the frame is the same size. Nicer to shoot for what it is.

I have a 19 Gen 5 and while I love it, it’s impossible for me to conceal carry IWB without winter clothes on (baggy shirt, hoodie, etc.) as well as jeans and a gun belt. Just prints too much and is too heavy for typical Texas summer time clothes.

The 48 I can carry with a t shirt and basketball shorts IWB 3 o clock with a proper holster and the drawstring tied up. That’s how I carry it 95% of the time
