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.

Disclaimer: I'm not 18-25.

I have a ton of women friends (more than men ATM) and have solid evidence that I am a significantly attractive man. I'm also bi so my options are a tad more broad than average.

Even with this I can say that dating is unpleasant and I have never asked for one and barely do them (women are rarely bold enough to be the initiator). It feels like a socially awkward job interview where I have to spend money I don't have and I fucking hate job interviews.

Admittedly, I also am autistic, socially anxious, and sexually repressed (American sex culture sucks).

I am just a regular 62 year old dude and I have not had a date in 12 years and the one I had 12 years ago was a fucking nightmare. I do not miss it.

Same here. That's the 21st century everyman.

Same, I guess? Mildly autistic according to psychologist and general practitioner, whatever that means. Taking sipralexa for my overactive amygdala.

Getting into relationships was easy as fuck. Never asked a person out in my life. Just talked to them and then basically went over the barrier of bf/gf naturally. Then she'd ask if we're together and I'd say of course lol

I'd say it's because of my looks cuz I've been training my physique since age 18. But honestly my core strength is that I love analysing/understanding people, and girls love it when a guy is that interested in them.

Which I think explains a LOT of Lemmy users. Even more so than Reddit users.
