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.

For anyone legitimately confused, there's potentially two different things going on here:

There is a very small chance that she is now more attracted to him, since he's been "screened" by someone else as an acceptable boyfriend.

What's infinitely more likely is that now she's more comfortable interacting with him because she feels he's not as likely to take friendly interaction as anything more, now that he has a girlfriend.

Lmfao. “Very small chance” my fucking ass. This is incredibly common.

Whole-heartedly agree. Sometimes this site makes me feel like I'm dealing with a bunch of fat, young virgins. Yes, you've been screened.

My wife is mad jealous, of every woman. (Her only fault, I can deal.) Wants me to wear my ring more often.

"You know that'll only get me more attraction?"

It's funny getting middle aged and how the calculus has really changed for me. I get compliments from random women all the time due to facial hair, being bald, and dropping weight. My wife laughs her ass off but does get a tiny bit jealous. That grey in the beard does things.

Feels good, man.
