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.

Does a good job and tries to be nice.
AYCE McRubber: "shi into me?"

I think people are so lost because the primary filter for relationships is having your own place. You know, like having your shit sorted to that minimum is kinda the threshold for most activities in general. It is certainly not some requirement, but it makes a major difference for anything serious, especially when you're over 25.

Like if you really want to meet someone, just shift your interests around. Pottery, art, kinesiology; any of those will change your exposure to cis relations. Get a job at Michael's. You won't last 3 months single.

Pottery, art, kinesiology

I admit that I have a double standard because I want a woman who is interested in my nerd hobbies but I have zero interest in that girly stuff. What the hell is a kinesiology?

(At least my nerd hobbies pay well. It must suck to be born with a passion for pottery rather than programming.)

kinesiology is the scientific study of human body movement

So science yoga. You could skip the science part if you want but it’s easy to come off as a creep, as yoga classes are classic creep bait.

I had lots of success with picking up ladies at public semi-sporting activities like ice skating sessions and rock climbing.

Stuff where you can talk and help someone new learn without judgement while also building a bit of trust.

Helps if you’re fit but just doing this stuff regularly sorts that out.

if yoga isn't your thing, tai chi does similar things for the human body
