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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It feels like you are speaking from the perspective of somebody who is sought instead of those who have to initiate relationships.
I think the people we are talking about here want any date they can get, and they feel like they have done the things necessary to meet someone, but they dont. Which is what makes them so crazy.
Eh, idk about being sought, but the dating experience did fundamentally change after I felt confident enough to be more worried about what a potential match brought to the table than whether or not I'd get a date. The pool of applicants wasn't big, but I was happier being solo than with the wrong person.
For the record, I didn't down vote you.
Eventually people have to settle.
There is no person who will check all the boxes, and limiting your options too much does mean you will be alone forever.
These people look at it mathematically, and from that perspective they aren't wrong.
