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.

What I never get about this is…does not your very existence refute this argument? If you’re a 20-something male and convinced that your genetics just doom you forever to celibacy…how exactly do you explain your own existence? Unless you are the result of a rape, you, by definition, have the genes necessary to attract a partner. After all, everyone in your family line prior to you managed to do it.

Yep that's a good point and basically should be the 'white pill' to cure inceldom. I imagine people believe dating has crashed in contemporary times, departing from the established conventions and regressing to a tech-fueled version of the primative default humans worked with prior to civilisation beginning.

As such, they chalk their recent-most ancestors' genetic success down to people 'playing by the rules' of dating, but that everything prior to that is down to this animalistic default mode they support.
