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.

Anon's got problems, and somehow that's everyone else's fault. Classic 4chan

Anyway meanwhile in normal human land, the presence of pornography does not decrease the dating pool.

It has decreased my dating pool by exactly 1. My ex started doing porn and I decided I couldn't go back.

Best thing to ever happen to me. No drunk texts and no forgetting why we split up.

No hate on people who date others in porn. It's just not for me.

I think my point really is that the number of people who are available to date hasn't really gone down because the industry exists. Now you may not want to date someone in the industry, and that's totally fine, but anon doesn't even have anyone yet and is complaining about a purely theoretical problem as if it's a real one.

No, they have bigger issues.

I know. However, you said something that made my train of thought pull into a particular station. So you got a useless story because that's what I do.

And I agree with everything you said.

I see that as a win win

But the unstable relationships and alcohol abuse worked for ya. Got it. Good for her.

wtf did I just read?

I'm not siding with the crazy person posting the green text, just explaining their point. They are saying that the simps made it so profitable to be a virtual girlfriend that all women have become one, and there are no girls left that will date him because they've learned they can profit off of sex. When you really read it, op is an incel and believes the only thing keeping women from prostitution is the guaranteed paycheck. Op believes that once they realize the money will come in, every girl in the world will become a professional sex worker.

Completely ignoring the laws of supply and demand in the process.

Exactly right; sex work has always existed (relative to the existence of currency/bartering tribute and some semblance of homo sapien societies) and will always exist in some form. There have always been those who are willing to be in relationships with sex workers and those that won’t. The landscape has changed, but the world’s oldest profession remains.
