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:

Did 4 Chan just accidentally use the term "autistic" correctly?

This is too real, holy shit.

Edit: Wait a minute, this doesn't necessarily have to mean they want to do something with you.

Come now anon, no permanent harm. Go ask somebody out today to make up for it.

Shots you didn’t take then; Shots you don’t take now.

So what would you say?

I would assume it was bait. I'd respond something like, "Schrödinger's cat is both alive and dead until you look in the box."

No one has ever turned me down for a date. You?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good for you. Definitely had rejections. Sometimes we didn't match, sometimes I was the asshole (realised after), sometimes they were.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

I just post my dick pic on GROWLER and the dudes invite themselves over.

Sucks that hetero apps don't work for the str8s.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Bait for what? Perhaps I am simply old, but why is it so unthinkable that a girl would think you are cute?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

In high school I would have people ask me out. If you say yes, what a fucking loser you thought I was serious? If you say no, then you're gay and you should kill yourself. It's funny because you can see the divide in this thread between people fucked up by high school and people who find getting fucked up by high school unthinkable

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would also assume it was bait, some people are assholes and I'd be insecure in a moment like that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

There have been times in my life when I would be insecure as well, but with some hindsight I realize that if someone really was going to be an asshole to me in a moment like that, it says a lot more about them than it does me. I lose more by being guarded than by being open. I do remember those times, and my heart hurts for anyone who's going through the same thing.

The question was rhetorical. You're a catch. It's okay to be shy but allowing yourself to be vulnerable is how you find the people who are worth your time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Bait for embarrassing the person. It depends on the person and context. I was often teased like this by people in school because I was quite susceptible to emotional manipulation. The note is not asking the person out. The note is asking for a reaction to a hypothetical situation without any commitment to actually asking. The intelligent reply is an equally indecisive hypothetical response saying "if you're uncommitted, so am I, try again" while also protecting from the potential for a trap. Plus if the person does not have the depth to understand the volley, the answer is a solid no.

This is not a mere greentext.

I feel actual evil. Just why.

user is typing a message

And this continues for a whole week as I start writing something then delete it and start over.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I had multiple women tell me they want to fuck in high school and I was so dumb to not get the message. One was basically jumping on my dick. I masturbated to some of these ladies for years until I eventually lost my virginity when I was 24. I hated myself for many years for not getting the message. 😂

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"If"? What kind of question is that? You either want to go out or you don't.

I think you dodged a bullet there.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's just a way of preventing direct rejection. If I ask you out and you say no, you're rejecting me and I feel bad. If I ask a hypothetical and you say no, you rejected the hypothetical, not me.

It's stupid, but sometimes that helps people work up the courage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

it's not stupid, it is a shield for the person, it never hurts to have protection.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I really wish liberals would try and find a way to reach out to these people. I know we just got some random post, but it looks like he is taking responsibility for his stupidity and not blaming the girl in question. There is self awareness there.
