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.

Haven't used the apps in years. But never really thought of them as a conversation tool.

I only used them for meeting, quick chat, and then setting up a date.

Every time I've tried to have a quick chat and set up a date, I'm called creepy for wanting to meet in person right away. Guess I'm not good looking enough.

Hey now, it could just be your social skills.

Remember boys and girls: It’s only creepy if you’re ugly.

Things may have changed, I'm older now. By quick chat, I mean back-forth over like maybe a week give or take. Get a date the next week.

One thing, most miss about these apps, is like IRL it is about volume to some degree. Meet as many people as you can. If you get dates from 20-30% of your interactions you're doing really good...
