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.

This is the beauty of the human condition, so many shared experiences even across all boundaries.

Also as a guy: Unless he's an 11/10 nearly every guy is going to be stoked about a girl being attracted to their looks even if they aren't romantically interested.

I have been told exactly twice that I looked handsome by women outside my family in my entire long life, and have also been reassured by many people that I know and trust the judgment of, that I was a solid 7/10 in my college days.

Stupid me had zero clue, interpreted their stares as mockery and just basically kept to myself from frosh to graduation.

Please don't make the same mistake I did and just let the decades slip by. Take that risk, ask the guy/girl because you don't want to be like me pushing 50 with 3 short and unsatisfying relationships to show for it.

Yes it's scary, yes it's risky, but a safe life of no risks will leave you pretty hollow towards the end of it.
