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.

I hate when people say "female"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 47 minutes ago

People who work in biology say it naturally. Women is a very weird word for them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

Do you also go to the zoo and complain that the monkeys are throwing shit? :P

[–] [email protected] 23 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

That’s because it’s an adjective. It’s like saying “I was talking to a black.” It’s icky and devalues people.

Ever notice how the same people the say “female” don’t also say “male”?

(Yes, I know female can be a noun, but in those cases, it’s typically in relation to live stock or in science.)

>talking to a female human

>I like her

>show her my favorite song

>she doesn't like it

Calling a woman "female". I have this suspicion anon is going to be a permavirgin.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That's why I only use "femoid"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

That's why I use the more modern term, "foid" /s

I'm not trying to be some moral authority, I'm just saying anon is unlikely to find a gf like that.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 23 hours ago

Makes you wonder if it was a human female.

Well, goes for anon too I guess.

> Talking to a woman
> I like her
> Share with her my favorite song
> She saves it to her playlist

I wonder if it's still there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Of course it is. No woman can resist the sounds of The Three of Us by Streetlight Manifesto.

While OP is obviously made up, and definitively loves others of the same gender, that is not a bad metric for compatibility.

If it's your favorite song, ever. Something that just brings you great joy, and the prospective partner isn't at least able to jam with it, the chances of being on the same wavelength about other things get smaller.

I don't really have a favorite song because how the fuck am I going to pick just one. But let's pretend that I managed to and it was Master of Puppets (which would be on the final list no matter how that list got decided). If my lady can't at least smile and throw the horns in solidarity, how the fuck we gonna handle that big a gap in tastes? Not saying it has to be her favorite too, but there's gotta be at least a friendly neutrality or it means our tastes in music are radically different.

If tastes in music are far apart, chances are that other things like movies, tv, books, are almost guaranteed to be similarly apart. That wipes out big chunks of conversation and leisure time. And, how the fuck you gonna handle road trips? Stuck in a car with music you can't at least tap a foot along with isn't gonna be fun. It's going to be stressful as fuck after an hour or so. Trust me on that one, I've been stuck in a vehicle for work purposes for long trips without realizing exactly how horrible the people I was with were. And I'm one of those people that doesn't entirely reject any actual genre. Even the stuff I avoid, it isn't because of the genre, it's tangential stuff.

But after two hours of shitty contemporary christian bullshit I was ready to strangle someone.

Imagine that, but you hate Taylor Swift, and the date you're with is a swifty. Or, imagine your poor date just can't tolerate death metal, and you're blasting some Behemoth. The fuck? You're doomed. And that's what long term relationships bring: hours in the same place frequently. You gotta be able to find common ground.

So, anon up there making the right choice for the wrong reasons, what with the fictional nature of their same sex lifestyle

I hate the "what's your favorite song/game/etc" because like.. even though I have literally 9,000 hours of gaming on steam and probably 15000 total and have like devoted my entire life to it because I'm antisocial
I STILL CANT CHOOSE 😭 I LOVE ALL MY BABIES

edit: holy shit I'm at 9,995 hours now. I should make a cake or something when I get to 10,000

Dude, everyone at the company owes you head at that point. 10k hours = head, that's just the way it is.

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

Damn man I only have 8700 hours on steam. I gotta get them numbers up, that's rookie numbers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

My favorite song is probably Compost Yuppie Scum. I'm pretty sure if someone doesn't like that song, it just means they have better mental health than me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

With a title like that, anyone that doesn't like it is probably yuppie scum, and needs composting

[–] [email protected] 11 points 21 hours ago

Music tastes can evolve. When I started dating my boyfriend, our music tastes seemed worlds apart. He's a rap guy, and I'm a rock girl. There wasn't much we could agree on when we put on the radio, yet we're on the same wavelength for pretty much everything else.

But he still came with me to an Eagles/Steely Dan concert, and he said he liked it. Lately he discovered funk music for the first time, which is a genre I grew up listening to. Now we sing and dance together to funk while cooking dinner.

I think the bigger problem isn't having the different tastes, but being closed-minded about trying new things.

Damn, you wrote a whole dissertation on this topic.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (13 children)

everytime ive shown a girlfriend björk not only did they not like her, they HATED her with a passion

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I like Björk, but I also can see (hear?) why people might not like her music.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago

me too. but i just dont understand how i keep dating girls who have genuine passionate hatred for her. not even just disliking the music, just pure rage

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Man, imagine being all those women who've dodged *this particular bullet... 😋 (Jk, no -real, anyway- offense intended! )

I once had a GF who not only didn't like Evil Dead, but she couldn't understand why I loved it, no matter how many arguments I delivered. She didn't have to agree with me, of course, but her refusal to even acknowledge my point of view was a real no-go. And the movie was just one example. What can I say? Overall, the relationship didn't last long.
