This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

First off: dating is fucking expensive, and unfortunately standard gender roles means the dude foots the bill most of the time.

Not an excuse for most Lemmy users. Most American Lemmy users make far more than the average American. I have seen Lemmy users legit bitch that they only make $80K a year. That's more than I ever made a year in my entire working life. And I never had a problem dating.

It's a personality issue, not a money issue.

I'm doing my part in dragging down the average, but tech salaries are quite good

Yeah, I definitely wish I would have went that route when I was younger. I'm retired now, so I can't complain, but I could have a lot more cool shit if I would have made more money! lol
