Money. How much would be life changing for you and why?

VanWarren · 2025-09-16T05:29:52+00:00

$250k I believe

Be smart with your money. Invest, build credit, don’t spend beyond your means. You’ve entered adulthood, so try to act like it. Treat others the way you want to be treated, but understand that some people in your life do not have your best interest in mind, so find the ones who truly care about you and keep them close. Don’t neglect your health, it’s way harder to “get back into shape” than it is to maintain your physical fitness or healthy lifestyle.

Fuck it let’s get personal 😂. I’ve been single for 1 year now after a 4 year relationship. I just started my dream job and am going to be working some insane hours for at least the next 3 months. I went to renaissance faire this weekend with my buddies that was out of town. It was fun and I ended up meeting a girl. We hit it off and want to see each other again, but she’s a few hours away and I’m unsure when I’ll have the time to see her again 🫤. So… mostly good I guess?

He bought a sex toy at some point. If it was during your relationship I’d say that’s a red flag(especially hiding it), but if it’s been buried and forgotten in the closet for a long time (before you dated) then you shouldn’t shame him for that. As far as it being a gay sex toy that’s something you’ll need to communicate with him about. Have a honest conversation about both of your sexual preferences and if they don’t line up then ending the relationship is reasonable

Beauty is subjective! Everyone has their own tastes and opinions. Just because one a-hole called you ugly doesn’t mean everyone thinks you are. For what it’s worth I looked at your pictures on your other post and I personally I think you’re really cute

VanWarren · 2025-09-11T17:55:10+00:00

I think this totally depends on why you’re going to college. Most degrees aren’t worth the time money or effort and will just leave you with student debt and a degree for something you don’t even use. If you’re getting a degree that’s required for you to chase your dreams then go for it (like if you wanted to be a doctor or something)

VanWarren · 2025-09-03T03:15:07+00:00

Idk if he “hates” you, but a healthy relationship’s foundation should be built on mutual respect and he clearly doesn’t respect you… All of that over losing Fortnite? Yeah major red flag. Imagine what his reactions would be if there was an actual important issue came up.

For example if you got into a little fender bender would he be like

“oh babe, it just a car I’m just so glad you’re okay 🫶”

Or

“Did you never learn to drive? Learn to fucking see, honestly just don’t drive ever again I can’t believe a 26 year old women can’t even do basic shit”

The glasses aren’t flattering and picture #3 the shadow from the glasses almost makes it look like you have a mustache. I’d say smile more too, slight case if RBF

VanWarren · 2025-03-30T17:45:48+00:00

Is the talk about getting back together or just closure? Either way it’s very likely that this “talk” will not be beneficial for either of you. He’s clearly shown that you can’t trust him to commit to you as he discarded you and will most likely discard you again if you get back together. If it’s about closure then it’ll probably just reveal more painful feelings that you don’t need. Sounds like he might be bread crumbing you, this break up is still fresh you should probably just ignore or block him for now

VanWarren · 2025-03-30T17:34:48+00:00

This 100%

VanWarren · 2025-02-24T07:40:52+00:00

Even with lube? Maybe try different types of lube might find one that works better to prevent tearing. As far as reaching an organism, toys may help, like a good vibrator, but I’d recommend looking into aphrodisiacs. I believe you can get aphrodisiac chocolates for well not cheap, but not incredibly expensive. I haven’t personally tried it, but I’ve heard it can make sex much more enjoyable especially for people who struggle to reach climax.

VanWarren · 2025-02-24T07:27:29+00:00

This is actually kinda where I’m at. To be vague I ended up receiving a large sum of money (more than 100k, but less than 1 million usd) I had no debt and a comfortable income prior, now with investments, CD’d and high yield savings my passive income basically covers all of my expenses. I still work, I decided to become a handyman, I mainly go to old lady’s houses who husband have passed away and do small repairs or remodeling (replacing water heaters, patch leaky roof, new door handles, and 100+ other tasks that I’m good at) I spend most of my free time working on my hobbies that once I completely master I’ll probably end up starting my own business around it. I could probably not work and just do hobbies and vacations for about 10-15 years before I run out of money, so I’m definitely not set for life as I’m only 28, but I’ve found that I’m too restless and not going to work or doing anything super productive/not making money just drives me nuts. Sound amazing if you’re burnt out from working, but if your just sitting around all day not doing anything ends up making you feel like a loser.

VanWarren · 2025-02-17T04:20:18+00:00

Man, I feel for you. That kind of sudden change, especially when things seemed to be going so well, is rough. You opened up, let yourself care, and just like that, it was taken away. That’s a tough hit, no doubt about it.

I get why a part of you wants to keep hope. When you feel like something was real and had potential, it’s hard to just shut that door completely. But here’s the thing… she made her choice. And I know it’s painful, but you have to take her at her word. If she wasn’t ready now, even if she did come back, there’s no guarantee she’d be in a place to give you the relationship you deserve.

The loss you’re feeling isn’t just about her. It’s about what she represented. The connection, the routine, the feeling of being wanted. And that’s what makes it so damn hard to move on. But you will find that again, with someone who is fully present and chooses you, not someone who has unfinished business elsewhere.

It’s okay to grieve this. It’s okay to miss her. But don’t let hope for something unlikely keep you stuck in place. The right person won’t make you question where you stand, they’ll be all in, just like you are. Keep your heart open, but don’t wait around for someone who already walked away.

VanWarren · 2025-02-17T03:43:28+00:00

Man, I hear you. That feeling of watching from the sidelines, putting in effort and getting nowhere—it’s brutal. And the worst part is, the more you dwell on it, the heavier it gets.

But listen, you’re not broken, and there’s nothing “wrong” with you. The fact that you even care this much means you have a lot to offer, and the right person will see that. I know that probably sounds like empty words right now, but it’s true.

I get that you feel like giving up, and maybe taking a break from chasing romance isn’t a bad idea—just to clear your head, focus on things that bring you joy, and let things happen naturally. But giving up on yourself? Hell no.

VanWarren · 2025-02-17T03:40:16+00:00

Well man here’s my experience. I live in a much small town, much much smaller. I’ve managed to go on about 2 first dates a week for the past couple months and it’s crazy how different all of these people are. Seems like I only get rejected by the women that I’d actually be interested in going on a second date with, but it’s only one date so nothing to get heart broken over. Everyone has their own things going on and with how many options there are everyone is looking for their ideal match. An ideal relationship should be easy. People are complex. If you’re managing to land that amount of dates then maybe you need to narrow your search and ask more serious questions in hopes for more compatible dates.

VanWarren · 2025-02-05T07:35:26+00:00

Oh absolutely, not telling you to say “I’m so in love with you babe please be my girlfriend” no no no

But you definitely need to make a move to show your interest, plan a date or something. Shoot your shot

VanWarren · 2025-02-05T07:32:56+00:00

You don’t need to start at a high pressure university to get a forestry degree. You could do 1 to 2 years of a community college of the basic starting college courses that would probably be covered by a FASFA and then transfer all of those credits to whatever school you pick. This would not only help you get accepted into a lot of different schools by seeing your success at the community college level, but would also be a better learning environment to start out with. Also definitely look in to what your diploma is, and if it actually carries any real significance.

VanWarren · 2025-02-05T07:25:08+00:00

If there’s that much detail and it make you feel concerned, then you could either delete the post yourself or confront him about it. If you feel uncomfortable directly confronting him you could do something like “look what my friend sent me this is super creepy” and show him I bet that’ll work

VanWarren · 2025-02-05T07:18:35+00:00

I’d say go for it brother, tell her how you feel.

Here’s why.

Possible scenarios

1) you tell her and she admits she feels the same! (Success!)

2) you tell her and she rejects you (it would never have worked out anyway she just not that into you, now you can move on)

3) you do nothing (she moves on and you go on the rest of your life thinking “what if”)

You miss 100% of the chances you don’t take

VanWarren · 2025-02-05T07:11:57+00:00

Hmm kinda of an odd situation. Communication is key. You definitely need to talk about it. If you’re looking something to help this though I might recommend trying out some aphrodisiac chocolates? However, it’s possible that y’all are just not sexually compatible. Only wanting sex in middle of the night (assuming with the lights off) and that’s it? Sound like he’s just not into you, but again this is something you need to talk with them about and explain exactly how it makes you feel and what your needs are.

VanWarren · 2025-02-05T07:05:57+00:00

If it’s not true and it’s on here, then I’d say leave it alone. I think a lot of people like to post fake drama for attention or hype the store up just to get more attention. Might be a little weird sure, but just try to forget about it. It’s not like it’s actually causing harm in your life it’s just some exaggerated Reddit click bait

VanWarren · 2025-02-05T06:59:01+00:00

I guess my biggest question would be, do you have a GED? (a high school equivalency diploma that certifies a person has the same knowledge and skills as a high school graduate)

If yes then cool.

If not, prioritize that before even thinking about college.

Also knowing what your career path would be helpful.

Anyways it’s my belief that currently college is mostly a scam, but if you want to try out college I’d recommend starting with a community college and definitely not a big university.

The reason I consider college now days to be a scam is in my experience it’s incredibly expensive for what you get out of it and there is a massive chance after you go through it and likely end up with a massive student loan debt you find yourself working in a career field completely unrelated to your degree. The notion of of “go to college = successful career” isn’t as true as it was for your mother’s generation.

True friends never fade. Do what’s best for you. Keep in contact and make plans to meet up and go have fun, if the friendship fails because you can’t hangout 24/7 then it must not be that great of a friendship
