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.

Does he think women don't have similar struggles getting men as well? Or that straight women simps exists?

Well, yea, but I'm fishing for a comment that will bring up statistics or give some insightful commentary or deep personal experience.

They struggle with finding a good/the right man to keep long term, but simply getting a date takes half an hour on tinder while they can choose between 50+ guys in their immediate neighbourhood.

And this isn't even purely my imagination, it's annecdotal from things my sister pulled off.

Getting a date might be easy.

Is getting a date with someone who wants to do more than have sex with them a time or two?

The problem with Tinder is that most women will use it to date wildly out of their league. If you’re in the top 10% of guys (good looks, money, etc.) you can choose between 10 women to go on a date with every single night, so of course there’s no reason for them to ever commit. Meanwhile, all of those women who are dating them are hoping they can get them to commit if they have sex, which of course doesn’t work, because why settle for one dish if you can have a buffet every day?

But after having had a taste of the top shelf, it’s difficult to go back to average, so now these women’s standards are totally overinflated. They think because they’ve slept with a top dog, it must be possible to marry him too, and so they won’t settle for someone in their own league, kinda like once you’ve had a steak at a $100 per plate restaurant, it’s difficult to go back to Outback or Sizzler.

So many of them end up wasting their best years chasing the alphas, and by the time they realize it’s not gonna happen, they’re in their mid-30s, have gained 50 pounds from all the post-breakup ice cream they ate, and all the guys who would have married them in their 20s have either settled for someone else, or developed a massive depression, mental illness, alcoholism, or killed themselves.

What the fuck are you on about?

When you talk about leagues and alphas I wonder why the text isn't green. And talking about women like an observable specimen in an Attenborough documentary - while using 90s romcom cliches like post break up icecream?

You're fucking gross.

Blind dating for women can be easy, but it also can be mortal.
