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.

Which is, like, pretty much anything. It's a wide world out there, and online dating is a really sad corner of it.

The apps literally lose money if you get a date and start a relationship in them

Would you define a long distance relationship that's lasted for multiple years with daily video chats as online dating?

That's not really up to me, but no. I dated my wife for over a year online before we got married, and we've been together for a long time now.

I'm more talking about dating apps and the relatively shallow hookups that come with that.
