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 remember back in 2015-ish a guy I knew at work claimed he couldn't get traction on dates because he didn't have social media. I was like, I'm confident that is not the primary problem here.
But yeah, today there's a bigger backlash against big social media. There's more than just weirdos who don't have Facebook et el
I've been judged negatively for not having social media but never by anyone I was actually interested in dating. Being obsessed with social media is a big turn off for me.
It definitely helps to weed out people. I work in a kitchen so it's pretty social and I've had people tell me they can't find me on insta or whatever and then ask what I even do in my free time which lends itself to more organic conversation instead of just judging how I run a social media profile or something. I also don't take pictures like it never crosses my mind unless it's my cats being funny so if I did have a social media I think it'd actually make me look less interesting
