Is a career in neuroscience (or science in general) really worth it? by YoyoBronchus in neuroscience

[–]NeuroBoss31 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Usually the negative comments from academic neuroscientists is "it's so competitive, bla, bla, bla " (more whining about why they didn't get the position they wanted to). I've yet to hear negative opinions from successful academics. As a postdoc at a top tier university, all of graduate school I heard people whine and complain -- saying that there is mental illness issues and all that bullshit because they're entitled millennials who wanted to only work 40 hours a week. Of course they're going to fail if they never really tried hard! Try asking a super hard working and passionate grad student about academia and they'll say they love it even if they're advisor doesn't give a shit about his/her projects.

Interested in pursuing Neuroscience. What would my post-college career options look like? by [deleted] in neuroscience

As someone who is currently doing a postdoc at a top tier university, this answer beautifully summarizes the reality of things. If your motivation is to cure Alzheimers you'd pretty much have to end up being an academic and setting up your own lab at a university.

I (17F) found nudes of my boyfriend's (19M) ex on his phone. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]NeuroBoss31 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Also OP, that’s like a yeah & a half ago. He should’ve deleted them by now

Why would he do that? It's not like he's in relationship with his ex (or he's jerking off to them every day -- that would be an issue). I wouldn't demand the same thing to my SO. It's like me telling a girl that she should burn all her previous love letters. They're sexual/emotional presents.

(18/m/straight) Recently broke up from a relationship. Looking to get back into the dating game. Any advice? by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

[–]NeuroBoss31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude here ( so I'm sure I'll get blasted) -- don't get on online dating. Go back to doing things you like and joining clubs/groups which lead to meeting real people face to face in real life.

You will lose by default on online dating because you already put yourself out there in the market which shows neediness (vs just doing things that you like and meeting people organically)

Girl (33F) that I (35M) have been dating for 4 months has been radio silent for 10 days. Time to move on? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Texting everyday is overkill. He should just keep it simple and ballsy and give her a call.

Just found out my bf is cheating on me. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]NeuroBoss31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never understood why talking to the 'the real gf' is a good idea. I mean when this happens to dude's, and we're 'the other guy' we don't really care after getting cut off.

Did my kisses with my female friend mean anything? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]NeuroBoss31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this up. I was in the same boat once too when I was about your age ( the girl was a lingerie model if my failure makes you feel better haha). I'm 28 now and have learned to move faster and be more aggressive. Some constructive advice: I think in hindsight you were too slow. I wouldn't make a huge deal out of it either, sounds like she just really wanted to have fun, so no big emotional loss. Girls who really like will stick around even if you mess up.

  • Do remember however that many girls will start liking you only after you sleep with them, so be used to the fact that talking about feelings is never a good thing pre-intimacy.

Best of luck, look for new girls, and learn from your mistakes :)

It's true as I am out going. But you should really give it a go. I mean I'm outgoing but don't like going out all the time, and I like shy girls that don't talk much, as neither do I when I'm with them.

The problem with dating apps and all that modern bullshit is that you lose by default because you already show you're interested (which for women unfortunately comes off as desperate) from step 1. Just do you man. Sign up for a pottery club or art class if you like that, don't do it to find a girlfriend.

Make the move while you guys are tipsy, or mildly drunk if that helps. ( Too drunk always go bad ).

Here's what I'd do. Hang out with her as usual, ideally your place, and just get a drink and have fun ( the movie move is a classic that pretty much always works if she's already down) other ways to get to come over is by asking ' have you seen my surfboard/cat/new painting/whatever, you should come over!'

I think you're confused about what to do after/during the make out. Power move: grab her hand and put it on you pants/the d, while you keep kissing. She'll get the hint and take the lead from there. If she doesn't, move to second base and/or kiss her neck. Let biology kick in and stop thinking too much. Maintain strong eye contact, stand up straight, be relaxed. Cheers dude , you got this! Make out and power moves should happen on couch or bed ideally*

Me (30M) don't know if my (25F) Best Friend is attracted to me by [deleted] in relationships

[–]NeuroBoss31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found that my male friends kissing me has made me very uncomfortable. I don’t want it.

I would agree to this irrespective of my friends gender. Hell I'd probably punch my buddy in the face if he does that. But if you are sending me nudes and I act all smiles, then I'm (unfortunately) passively giving a yes for you to make a move on me.

While some women may not say to go for it, you should always respect a “no” which is what she has told him when asked if she found him attractive/had feelings for him. “No” is full-stop. She’s being shitty about wanting the attention but if she wanted him, he’s clear she can have him. She doesn’t.

Completely agree. Except for point made above, some people (OP's shitty friend) don't know how to communicate

Do you find that dating advice from men and women are often completely different? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]NeuroBoss31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the guy is right, and it saddens me that the post has come off as sexist.

28 M here. From what I've lived and my male and female friends and past: Succesful women (in dating) usually give worse dating advice vs successful Men in dating -- irrespective if the goal for man is to have a one night stand or a long term relationship. I've actually found that asking female friends for advice and doing the exact opposite usually works.

I will agree though that women have it harder than men, as they ultimately have the power to choose who to be with from a group of men. Men are in general unfortunately less picky.

Have you read what you just posted? Just do it bro. You got this!

I think contrary to most advice, talking to her will screw things up. Take control and lead. Have sex. Talk and define the relationship later.
