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.

Whenever I see things like this I think the man making the comment really has no idea how much unwanted attention young, single women get from random men. Especially if you're pretty and nice, men just take that as an invitation. For every genuinely polite person trying to be charming you have dozens of creeps just being weird.

I feel like a lot of the online discourse, and a few isolated in-person interactions, wants to frame this sort of stuff as evidenciary of how miserable and oppressive it is to be men in the modern world.

I don't believe it; frankly, I think it's a ploy to instill division by exploiting young men's lack of emotional intelligence (not necessarily their fault) but even if it were true, I don't buy the response being that society has it out to get men and we need to accommodate people who refuse to learn how deal with their own emotions.

All it takes is hearing stories or knowing someone personally who just gets flooded with creeps and you realize this isn't an overreaction. One of my not super close friends changed their name on Facebook because of weirdos trying to do """"light"""" stalking constantly. It seems super weird and antisocial of women until you get the full story.

In his defence, the first use of female was correct, "those who are young single and female" as an adjective. I'd say that the second one is wrong, but they did use women above too so I'd attribute it to having written female just above and typical 4chan brainrot. I'd keep an eye on this one but not crucify yet

The only friends requests I get on Facebook is rando gay men that want to bang so yes, it is because they assume you are a rando that wants to bang.

I don't get rando gay men who want to bang add me. :/

Me either. Maybe i should make an account.

Doesn't matter what they think of you personally.

You're just one request between the hundreds that are trying to hit on them.
