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.

A lot of people here are saying that the more genetically similar you are to somebody, the more attractive they are (so long as you don't grow up with them). I'm here to tell you that those guys are completely wrong
Studies have shown that (in other animals unfortunately, not in humans) that the more genetically dissimilar two individuals are, the more attracted they are, so long as they can produce viable offspring (aka they can have kids)
This study would also be done on humans, but that would be slightly morally questionable
This is an evolutionary trait in order to incentivise us to increase the gene pool when possible. You can imagine what would happen if we only rucked our cousins (look at the royals)

Oh man we did the Hapsburgs in my genetics class and it's so fucking gross how closely related those incestuous fucks were. First cousins as closely related on a genetic level as siblings.
Edit: LOOK AT THIS UGLY FUCKER! Even better - these genetic monstrosities still have money.
I'm not comfortable condemning them for their crippling genetic disabilities (except where they perpetuate it), but they did do the majority of leading countries involved in WWI. And not only do these fucks still have money, they fund modern fascist movements and hateful propaganda as well as still being politically influential. The head of the family is an ambassador for the country his family took from superpower to "I could've sworn you were the kangaroo country"
I have zero sympathy for these folks - their genetic problems are wholly self induced and they are a literal cancer on this species.
Fuck 'em.
Nobody chooses the circumstances of their birth
And?
And despite the fact that they can renounce a large portion of their excessive wealth at any point, it's not their fault that they're rich? Something something?
Yeah you often strive for maximum compatible difference. There's no instinct to create a family ladder
If that's true then why do a lot of people only date the same race as them
