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.

This sounds pretty typical to me.
They like each others looks, and start talking a bit. She realizes just how many red flags anon is raising, and starts to backpedal.
Fuck women impossible to understand amirite.
Edit: nothing is black and white, especially when it come to people. I was just pointing out one of the likely scenario that hadn't been pointed out when I posted.
I don't really think it's that simple.
I think it's about that weird thing people (not women) do that makes them attracted to strangers but not friends. I find it mentioned everywhere, both online and offline.
I think that's what anon is experiencing too.
I really don't understand why people just lose all attraction as soon as mysteriousness is no longer a factor. And I've seen it happen with my own damn eyes, to me AND others.
I don't get it.
It's as if as soon as I become readily available to anyone, I suddenly become much more worthless and disposable too... Suddenly every other aspect of theif life takes priority and I'm number last. I guess because other things are only available conditionally whereas I'm pretty much always available? Idk.
Also if I'm not interested in someone, that someone always wants to interact. It's as if life constantly works to spite me.
Edit: I'm so glad I didn't get downvoted to oblivion...I feel so validated. Thanks y'all...
they lose attraction because they were never attracted to the person. they are attracted to the fantasy of the person.
and once you become too 'real' you destroy the fantasy and they have no more interest.
Why do you think romance books are SO HOT right now? because they are pure fantasy and lots of ladies want nothing but a fantasy romance and they are addicted to daydreaming, and they compare the real world romance to and it and angry it doesn't 'live up' to the storybooks they read.
it's like if a a guy was very angry and mad that he didn't have superpowers after watching a bunch of Marvel movies or comic books... it's absurd... people would mock and laugh at him.
but you if you tell women that they will just claim you are a misogynist.
