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.

Maybe anon has more luck flirting outside of his household?

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That, or try breaking his arms.

Yup, more than one way to skin a cat. (BTW, I heard this term as a construction term, as in operating a Caterpillar machine).

Furiously peels the vinyl off the tractor seat.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

slowly peels vinyl off the tractor seat Yup. More than one way.

[–] don@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

I don’t think anon’s mom loves him that much. Anon is anon, after all.

[–] lulztard@lemmy.world 117 points 3 months ago

This could also be a great textbook example of social conditioning. Women and men self-perpetuating gender stereotypes and acting weirded out when they're being violated.

$100 bucks says Anon is ugly and/or overweight.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 63 points 3 months ago

Only if the person that made up the fictional character writes it that way.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 49 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Or just gives off massive fake and gay energy

$100 says the green text is an artistic work of falsehood

[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

tf? green text is always true, anon never makes shit up.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

100¢ says anon is a bad flirt.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Naw, that still assumes anon is a real person, telling a real story.

As a rule, anything posted to /b/ is an artistic work of fiction or falshood, and only a fool would believe otherwise

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that exact quote posted on the top of every page on /b/? Wouldn't that make that rule itself an artistic work of fiction?

"All those women feeding him"

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago

Well, it's probably because he's the leper king of Jerusalem, judging by that mask

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 38 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If your mom is nice to you she simply protects her assets. Her behaviour towards you is in no way an indicator on how attractive you are for potential partners from outside your family.

Her behaviour towards you however may be an indicator on how attractive you are for potential partners inside your family.

Idk if this is solace for someone or not but as a lesbian I never had it any easier than this hypothetical chap

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

I gave up and found a boyfriend. I'm not even kidding. I'm like...90% lesbian though.

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That's called being bi my fellow gril

As for myself, I found a long distance lesbo partner by being an uber mega nerd about am old free visual novel

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Isn't this situation how the term incel was coined? Like, it was a lesbian who could not get a girlfriend, and eventually started saying she was involuntarily celibate, which got shortened to incel?

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Fair, but I really don't consider myself bi. I like women and I like my boyfriend haha.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's funny - the bi women I know have a much better understanding of how difficult it is to date women than the straight women do. "But why don't you just do online dating? I had a lot of success meeting men through online dating!"

(Before anyone says anything: yeah, straight women have their own problems.)

Lesbians aren't toys to play with when you're bored.

I'm a lesbian. I've had times where I'm hella single and don't go to dudes because I'm bored or lonely. If I did, I would consider myself pan/bi.

You're bi, just say you're bi. You can't be a certain percentage of something like that.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Nah, I think I'll identify how I please.

Lesbians aren’t toys to play with when you’re bored.

I'm fully aware of this, having been the one toyed with before.

[–] GottaKnowYourCHKN@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What bothers me, is that this creates this idea for some men that they can "change" or convince lesbians. If you're like "Oh I'm a lesbian, but I have a boyfriend." You're going to make some men think they just have to ask enough and that lesbians just "need a good d" to turn straight again.

Why lesbian over bi, if I may ask? Do you find yourself moving between the two labels when it's convenient or would be awkward to say? Like, if you meet his family-- do you tell them you're actually a lesbian?

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No, I totally get that, and I hate that I "prove" that idea in any form, because it's horseshit. I hear that shit all the time and frankly, it's disgusting.

I identify more with lesbian, because quite frankly I'm not physically attracted to guys like...at all. I just happen to really be attached to this one guy in particular. Outside of him, I've never had a guy as a romantic partner, and should we break up at some point, I don't see myself doing it again.

Regarding his family, I probably wouldn't say anything at all about my sexuality haha

Problem: Anon keeps trying to date his mom

Solution: Anon needs to try using a dating service or app

Or his sisters. Anon has options.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Being raised by women doesn’t make you a pussy magnet anon.

Time for reform

[–] bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago (3 children)

What no male role models does to a mf.

[–] SitD@lemy.lol 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm kind of surprised what gets downvoted these days.. do people actually not know that humans are imitation learners in almost every social and scientific aspect? 😨

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

In the same vein I'm shocked how little reading comprehension people have these days (such as this comment) and how people and how quickly people jump to align any information with their worldview. The post even said "majority" with no indication that the father wasn't around. For example someone that has two siblings, both sisters would fit that category.

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

I think you misinterpreted some or most of the downvotes. The problem seems to be the role model that they did find.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

op had no male role models because the entire scenario is completely made up for attention on the internet
