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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Its always confounded me that, somewhere along the line, Simping:Spending time and money to let a stranger on the internet know you think she's pretty and you likely see romance as transactional, got conflated with "Simping": having the guts and sincerity to compliment a woman in-person, without reservation or expectation of reward.
Like, what? How did that become a thing?
Oh "why do good girls like bad guys" is one of those questions of the ages. It exists for many reasons, but the short list is:
there's a fine line between confidence and assholery solution: may you have the strength to change the things you can, the patience to endure the things you can't, and the wisdom to know the difference. Once you trust your judgment in such things, act confidently on them, or at least try to look it.
there's a bunch of emotions that are neurochemically identical and that can often be misattributed as each other and "scared" and "horny" share most of the same neurotransmitters. Solution: go see a scary movie, go to a rollercoaster park, or do a physical activity together that involves cardio.
daddy issues and other psychosocial toxicity that you probably don't want anything to do with anyway. Solution: don't put your dick in (or your vagina on) crazy.
Men are animals. Women are also animals. They usually get along better overall when they're both trying to be mindful of that, both for their own sake and that of the other person.
