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.

Putting on big muscles is for the boys, real girls don't actually like it.

Same with beards. You'll get a lot of attention with a nice beard, but not many girls perse

I will say as a trans chick who used to have a denial beard, women did love it, but that's because I conditioned it. I got so many comments about how they wished more beards were that soft.

Mind you, I also followed rules 1 and 2

That was also my experience, I grew my beard a couple of time, just to see how long it goes and also laziness. I never cared with specific beard products or trimming it and stuff. I washed it with the same head&shoulders I use for my hair. In my country is normal to greet with a kiss in the cheeks so it was a somewhat common occurrence that a woman would feel and comment how soft it was. But that was it, they are impressed by the softness not the looks of how long it was, this was only guys, guys were impressed by the size of the bears and all. That is not to say that woman necessarily prefer shaved face, in my experience mostly (in my country that is) prefer a trimmed beard. I guess it is more mature or mainly. My now wife certainly preferred me to just trim down the beard instead of shaving it.

That's fair. And the fact that I was following rules 1&2 probably explains the rest, because wow you would not believe how blatantly people can hit on you without you noticing when you hate your appearance

[–] coriza 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

What is the rules 1&2 ?

But yeah, that tracks, I guess is the opposite end of confident people that will think that others are into them why would they not be? When we don't think much of ourselves we more likely assume that a compliment or even someone hitting on you is just someone being nice, they "obviously" would not be into me.

Plus of course if you don't put on stupid amounts of muscle you retain the ability to scratch your own nose. Seriously some of the guys at the gym, watching them try their names is a site to behold. The ideal body shape is not the Hulk

I don't know what real means anymore

[–] [email protected] 22 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

In this case real means not emotionally stunted.

[–] Thcdenton 6 points 15 hours ago

How depressing

[–] [email protected] 9 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Amen, same with watches and motorcycles and revving your car

This seems like something they should probably see a therapist about? That doesn't seem like the behavior of a healthy mind.

At some point a single male spider started dancing for their lives. Don't diss innovation.

If her reaction to seeing someone suffer is: "leave", then anon is better off without her.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool 4 points 13 hours ago

Yes I remember the Buddhist saying “weight lifting is suffering”

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 59 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

If someone’s coughing up blood in front of me I’m leaving too.

You might like playing in stranger’s bodily fluids but that’s not my bag, baby.

tbh I'd probably leave but notify someone who works there so they can call an ambulance or do first aid or something. and even if the cougher wipes the blood up, the floor there should be disinfected.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Yea, I'm not dealing with whatever contagion they may be spreading with that. GL to them though.

No wonder he developed the atomic bomb after that.

Honestly a powerful litmus test. You’re not going to hook many, but by god will they be empathetic.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 18 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Can't keep doing it in the same place though. Word gets around and suddenly you're Blood Cough Guy and... wait a second, this has got to be a bit from IASIP right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 22 hours ago

Like all greentexts, its premise was plagiarized, yes. The well has always been poisoned (by my constituents)
