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.

Expanding your pool of potential mates increases the chance of finding a mate.

That only works if you would consider the kind of person who likes to spend time at bars as a potential mate though.

Dating is all about going places you don't like to meet people so also don't want to be there, which makes literally any other option more appealing.

My SO and I met at a dance. I didn't want to be there, and my SO thought it was tacky, so we had something immediately in common when I walked over to talk.

It's a weird, unspoken cultural thing. If I go somewhere to have fun, I'm not interested in meeting new people, I'm interested in the activity.
