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.

All of them are the product of mental illness or severe immaturity. Or both. To believe that a greentext is not the expression of, or desire to proliferate, negative character qualities is naive. Which is to say, this isn’t unusually manipulative. Also asking people out is ok
It's ok but it's like this idea that they should be ashamed for not thinking to do it, like it's their obligation as a man or something
Most every person has that moment where they realize that someone was flirting with them, but they were unaware. It’s your obligation as a sexual being to recognize it, not to accept their advances. The implication that they didn’t understand the woman’s meaning is the joke. They’re free to reject it, but they didn’t. They just didn’t notice. So we poke fun.

til i'm not fulfilling my obligations as a sexual being...?
When I was young, insecure about my sexual inexperience, convinced I was worth less than others, and on 4chan all the time, there were some levels on which I really did not understand that, which led to some uncomfortable situations, and could easily have led to worse ones. Flirting isn't really something you analyze and make decisions about anyway, if someone isn't responding to it, maybe that says something about how they are feeling and should be respected regardless of if they understand on a conscious level what is going on.
