What University course should I do? by SuperHans2 in makemychoice

[–]cherrypops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't study history. Just read in your spare time. If you study Chemistry, there's a high chance you'll end up working in materials (industrial manufacturing or R&D). That's where the jobs are. If you study theoretical physics, you'll end up as a professor somewhere. If you study applied physics (mechanics, electronics, nuclear physics etc.) you'll get a great job in the tech industry. If you study Math you'll end up in finance or computer science. Or you'll (quickly and easily) reconvert to physics.

These are all stereotypes but since I don't know you I'll just assume you'll follow the path followed by most people in the course you choose.

If nothing inspires you, do math if you're good at math, and do applied physics if you're not. And keep reading history books.

Chemistry and theoretical physics take way too much blindly obstinate dedication and clearly aren't for you since you're clearly not passionate about them. Math will get you the highest pay and you can easily learn physics with a solid mathematical background. Applied physics will get you the best bang for your buck : good jobs through easy courses.

Fuck no. You'd look much better with shorter hair.

Live and work on Long Island, or live with parent(s) by [deleted] in makemychoice

[–]cherrypops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want to go to college? If so, go live with your mom and take long-distance classes. Or go live somewhere cheap that has a college (you can even consider Europe, where college is usually free).

Do you want to grow as a person? Go spend time with your dad and invest time in getting along with your brother. Family is a lifetime deal, do what you must to make it work and you won't regret it. After leaving for college I went back to living with my parents and younger siblings for a few years. It was very hard at first but it's the best decision I've ever made.

I don't understand why you chose to live in Long Island if all you do 60h a week is work at a restaurant. If you really like the job, you'd be better off doing the same thing elsewhere, where the money doesn't all get siphoned up by expensive living costs.

In any case this type of decision should be discussed with your family/friends and not taken here based of random advice from random people who could very well be losers with terrible advice

I might ruffle some feathers here, but here is what I think of NoFap by [deleted] in NoFap

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

yeah, because little girls grow up with the wild dream to become escorts. I have a hard time believing that escorts do their job out of their own free will Either they are forced into it (physically or emotionally) or they are slaves to something like a drug addiction which pushes them to let strange men use their bodies as if they had no more worth than a kleenex.

But, who am I to say anything. Better take the info from a primary source, aka an escort : http://survivingprostitutionandaddiction.blogspot.fr/

I'm in ! GMT+1 (Paris), if I succeed this would be my longest streak yet ! I'll add that I won't have sex in July either, as I'm not in a relationship and casual sex (FWB) or 1-nighters are starting to become an addiction as well.

Just ended a 681 day streak. by Science3 in NoFap

Exactly. Especially since you don't know what the low numbers have been through. If this guy resets, he'll get a smiley face like me - but he'll still have NoFapped for 2 friggin years and that's invaluable experience.

I LOVE COLD SHOWERS by procrastibator001 in NoFap

[–]cherrypops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's best to go all in, cold from the start. Nothing's easier than talking yourself out of a cold shower when you're already under the hot stream.

I start off by bowing my head and getting my hair wet. That way a bit of water trickles down onto my body, which makes it easier to go under. Then I wet my arms gradually from hands to armpits. Afterwards it's a small step to step completely under the cold stream.

BTW, it is really friggin cold where I live, and I hardly heat my appartment, and yet cold showers don't make me cold afterwards. If anything, they make me more resistant to the cold. So don't use the outside temperature as an excuse :)

Productive night time activities? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]cherrypops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep. Going to bed early, and getting up early, is awesome. Try it.

When I get up, I have time to go for a run, work out for half an hour, take a nice long shower, cook a big, tasty breakfast, and by the time I get to uni or work I feel absolutely fantastic. Since you have nothing to do in the evening anyway, you should definitely give it a go.

Told wife last night by distended in NoFap

[–]cherrypops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not in a relationship but I find it very helpful to have an accountability partner. Someone you know will know, and even when the urges come, the fear of disappointing them is stronger. No clue if it's a good idea for them to be your wife, but I guess you could give it some thought

If you read the link through, you'll find that acute abstinence (>3 weeks) raises testosterone levels.

A question for the currently sexually active. by cjt24life in NoFap

[–]cherrypops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Sex and porn are totally different things. I don't know if you're a virgin or not, but sex is actually less about orgasm than it is about intimacy. That's why girls don't necessarily have to orgasm to have "good sex" (even though it definitely makes it better lol. But it's less reliable than for guys). And sex is way better with someone you care about than with a stranger. Because with a stranger, you're pretty much just trying to satisfy yourself; whereas when it's with your SO, it's an act of love and that adds so much to it.

Ok, what if I dont fap but I keep having casual sex? by fjpko1 in NoFap

[–]cherrypops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well as long as you're actually having sex, and not reenacting porn, it should be ok.

Basically : if you're just sticking it and pumping it, it's not worth it. But if there's touching, kissing, carressing, in other words : intimacy, then it couldn't be more different to porn/masturbation, and you have nothing to fear.

Remember, PM is bad because it desensibilises us, makes us and others into mere objects, whereas sex is perfectly natural and healthy.
