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.

Yeah it's not women per se, though most guys have had bad experiences. It's also bad economics, loss of third spaces, loss of communities, excess screens, and the shifting cultural expectations that follow from these material changes.

It is hard to create real human intimacy when you interact with people primarily through profiles and media.

So much this. Between the loss of local community and third spaces, society is taking a beating.
