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.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but:

Do not take dating advice from people who never dated.

Do not take relationship advice from people who never had a relationship.

Do not take sex advice from people who never fucked.

And especially do none of these things on 4chan.

Seriously, I have been in a relationship for a decade and a half and some of the relationship advice I have seen men give other men on the internet the past several years tells me that they have never been in stable relationships themselves.

It also tells me that most of them have no clue what women want.

You know what a woman really wants?

Have meaningful conversations, clean up a little bit, eat puss, sometimes cook food.

This isn't rocket surgery.

It's almost like women are people who want the same things everyone wants or something.

Quick video about what body type women think is attractive vs what men thought women think is attractive.

Spoiler alert: Most men think they have to be ripped like a Marvel superhero while most women thought that shit looked scary and wanted the slightly toned body or the dad bod.

Please don't starve/dehydrate yourself, take steroids, and stay at the gym for 5 hours everyday. Exercise and be healthy because it's good for you and that you love yourself. Be as normal as you can be. Take a shower, clean your room, do hobbies and activities, including outdoor ones.

That's why I only give advice to people trying to break up.

Only take the advice of people you want to end up like. It's such a simple concept that so many people don't heed

Marriage advice from priests? Hell no.

Depends on the religion

A better way to say this is "don't take dating advice from the Internet" because it's not just 4chan where you'll find shit designed to make you feel bad about yourself and how you look to try to sell you something- whether that's a product or an ideology. It's everywhere.
