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.

Reminds me of the summer I was dating this waitress who worked at the place i was cooking at. After work her and I and another waitress and my buddy were all going to a big beach party. The other waitress took some E and talked my buddy into driving separately.

When we arrived my buddy said the girl he drove kept saying she wanted to just stay home, skipping the party. So he took her back and dropped her off. He apparently miss the part where she wanted him to skip it too.

Took him another decade to lose his v-card.

This guy is a lucky bastard and the funny part is he doesn't even know.

It's like the kid who's excited to work some day and get the fuck out of school. I just smile and nod, maybe pat them on the shoulder and say "you're a good kid"

I misread "sister" without the friend part and I momentarily heard Sweet Home Alabama in my head, just for a moment.

He drew pepe like that one shot of Mello from death note lol

You have a keen eye.

Saying no because you don't feel like it and/or you're being asked on a date in a demeaning way shouldn't be trumped by the feeling that you might not get another chance and you're pathetic for being a virgin.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

can't wait until they stop being a virgin and find out they are still as pathetic and gay as they were as a virgin.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I mean my mental health and confidence improved significantly once I got the stigma of being a virgin off my back. I lost it to a girl that actually liked me and wanted to sleep with me though and we did it again a lot more times. I'm not sure a pity fuck would have had the same effect.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

a pity fuck would have fucked you up more.

but people dying of thirst will drink salt water and die faster because of it too.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I actually got more pathetic and gay after losing my virginity

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

congratulations!

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

Yep and that's the key flaw in 4chan's (and now the internet at large's) collective attitude to love and dating. Can't get away from it now, everyone has profound emotional immaturity.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 85 points 1 day ago

fake: no no, this happened

gay: self-evident

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 75 points 1 day ago (3 children)

One time when I was in my early teens, I was teasing my sister and her friend and that friend suddenly lunged at me and bit me on the arm, hard. I had tooth marks and a funny feeling for the next few hours - a girl had touched me, with her mouth!

Seriously though, even as an adult I don't know if I did or not. Why did she do that?

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did it affect your taste in women?

[–] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

No no, the woman tasted him

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (9 children)

For anyone who might feel similarly to anon - no. No it would not have been a turning point.

Why? Because dating is a matchmaking problem. Whether you are looking to hook up or get hitched, you need to sort out the partners who are a good match for you from those which aren't. So if all anon wanted was any girl to be romantic with him for the rest of his life, and if this girl happened to be his perfect match, then sure, maybe his life would be different. But if anything goes wrong in this plan - which it almost certainly will - then even if this girl kisses him, blows him, fucks his brains out, or dates him for a while, once she peaces, he is right back where he started. No bitches, and no idea how to get them.

The turning point in anon's life can't be when someone else just hands him what he wants by sheer chance. A real turning point can only happen if anon makes the choice to change his life of his own accord. Because when anon makes a choice to do something - like learn to dress better, or go to therapy, or politely introduce himself to an attractive stranger - then he is creating a repeatable strategy for improving his life.

[–] regdog@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

The turning point in anons life is not the realization that he could have turned his life around at an earlier point. But if anon believed that in the past they the had the power to turn their life around, then that is true for the present as well.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Everything is temporary - some relationships last longer than others but they all end, at least from old age. If there can't be worth in a temporary relationship, there can't be worth in any relationship.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Certainly anon could hypothetically value any temporary relationship he had. But he won't. We can tell because of the way he told this story - not as a story of proof that he is desireable and worthy of love, but instead as a story of how he missed an opportunity that will never again come in his life.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 29 points 1 day ago

He would learn, get experience, be less afraid and maybe unfuck himself.

But nope, he choose videogames in typical anoncel fashion.

[–] CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Nerds ignoring confidence.

In my experience, 25 year old virgin usually means they'll typically start to embrace that desperate/needy persona.

Events can turn that shit around.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 0 points 53 minutes ago (1 children)

I mean, we can imagine a counterfactual where the girl was even more insistant.

"No, anon, you're taking me on a date! I won't take no for an answer"

And then they go on a date. Anon is very awkward and has no idea what to do. But at the end of the date, she gives him a bj. Now what?

Well from her perspective, maybe, she did a good deed. She gave him some experience and confidence and set him on his way - hooray!

But from anon's perspective - being anon - he is in the same position, only worse. After all, for some reason he can't possibly understand, a girl went on a date with him and blew him, practically handed herself to him on a silver platter, and yet he still managed to fuck it up and didn't lose his virginity. What a hopeless loser he is (he thinks to himself) - even if he is just given the perfect chance, he must be so repulsive and terrible at sex that no woman will want to touch him once they get close enough.

I mean, I’m a 40-year-old virgin, but being asexual and sex-repulsed means I’m not desperate and needy.

However, the asexuality sadly disqualifies me for the wizard powers.

[–] CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Sure, I'm dragging a wide net.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

how can you feel bad about not having sex if you don't want to have sex?

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The world puts an unbelievable amount of emphasis on having sex as a mandatory aspiration. Most advertising is coded for either sex or hunger or fear. Most people are sexual people who frame things sexually, even subtly. Douglas Adams even once wrote that the basis of literally every construction and technology and artistic work on the planet was to impress someone of the opposite sex.

Needless to say, it’s hard to keep from internalizing some of this in some way. If you’d look at r/asexuality and the Lemmy asexual communities, you’d see a lot of people realizing “oh shit, I’m not broken!” after spending whole-ass years thinking they were.

There is still a small voice inside me that says I’m an idiot for not chasing sex. I can’t help it. Society is pervasive.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 0 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

A lot of girls won't fuck me because I don't drive a 7 row luxury SUV and ask me if I'm homosexual or mentally ill for not doing so.

I mostly laugh at them. Are they 'society' or just stupid twats projecting their insecurity about vehicle size onto others?

That Douglas Adams fellow was a right twat. Just because he wants to fuck buildings doesn't mean the rest of us do. I'm content fucking my 10 year old hatchback. It has a dual exhaust... and it never once impressed a lady. It mostly impresses Suburu drivers who are all lesbians or aspiring lesbians.

Chasing sex can be fun. For a lot of dummies the chase is the point and the sex is the annoying dumb part.

Rolling the dice exactly once has more chance of getting double crits(I'm assuming he has disadvantage) than never rolling at all

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

so basically you want anon to become gay?

then he can be the one who the girls want, and he rejects them.

truly based. all virgin incels must become beautiful desirable homosexuals to own the womens.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 1 day ago

I thought the point is that anon realized they were the one who was turning opportunities down, and accepting an opportunity where success seemed to be likely would have been the turning point.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

One of the things that stops people making changes and choices of their own accord is fear.

Fear of the unknown, the uncertainty. Anon had a choice to make, they made it.

If they'd made a different choice, their life would have been different. Maybe better maybe not, certainly different.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Tldr: Anon is doomed

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Anon has priorities.

Why are greentexts always about guys' first romantic experiences

[–] chooglers@midwest.social 41 points 1 day ago

this one isn't

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

because it's funny
