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.

I don’t think I can blame Anon. “Should we try it out?” isn’t exactly stirring my passions, either.
Under the circumstances, it sounds like “you’re my least terrible option left, so maybe I can settle for you. On a trial basis, of course.” Uh, no thanks.
Bold of you to think anons story is real and straight
It’s more fun to play along, and unless I’m missing something, I kept it gender neutral.
Anon is on the internet. No girls there.
Anon had a girl interested in fucking him: fake.
Anon turned down a girl that wanted to fuck him: gay.
If by "straight" you mean heterosexual and you're doubting the story is heterosexual, read it again. There are pronouns in there. This is a heterosexual story.
Still gay though.
Is this your first green text?
NOOOOOOOOO!!! I NEED IT TO FIT IN THE PREDETERMINED BOX I HAVE SETUP FOR THIS GREENTEXT!!! IT HAS TO BE GAY BECAUSE I SAID SOOO!!!!!!!
I had no problem taking this innocent heartfelt greentext post at face value, but would you agree, the comments have been aneurysm-inducing.
Maybe. Idk, I mostly read the comments just to get some perspective from other people so I can enrich myself and be a better person.
It does get annoying though when that is interrupted by the fake/gay joke comments tho.
This is a pretty niche community (Lemmy) without a whole lot of variety. If you're trying to get some other perspectives, there are a lot of better options in real life.
I'm glad you deleted your comment because I can still see it in my inbox and I was about to come here and rip you a new one 😆
Yeah, def overlooked a word or two.
#ImmediateRegret Glad I double checked the OP before "keeping" it there
Yep. I’ve run out of ideas, I’ll try settling with a heavy “maybe”. That’ll really make you feel like a potential partner values you.
I think it's more like "oh shit, lots of men are suddenly turning right-wing, and i'm getting afraid of them now, so please anon, protect me. i'm not actually into you, of course (who could be into you?) but at least you're harmless."
Sadly possible, but also a huge insult.
Most women's social circles will not see men make any significant rightward shift in political opinion. Most peoples' political opinions are fairly stable over time, and change slowly. Most people naturally spend time with people with similar political opinions. And if someone finds that they have significantly different political opinions than their peers, they will almost certainly keep it to themselves.
Right wing political spaces have a negative corrolation with female participation. The farther right a space is, the fewer women we expect to see there. And to the extent that there is a large rightward shift in men's political positions, it is driven primarily by men who already leaned right. More left-leaning men, if they move right at all, would move right very minimally. The aggregate of minimal moves to the right across the bell curve would be noticeable at a statistical level, but would not be noticeable in most people's actual social lives. Significant moves to the right would only be seen on the right wing side of the bell curve.
So if we accept your hypothesis, then we could also conclude that OP's love interest is already involved in significanly right-wing spaces.
But the alternative conclusion, assuming your hypothesis is correct, is that OP's love interest if more moderate/left wing (most women), but is chronically online and hears about men becoming more right wing.
Dating apps mix the social circles pretty significantly so it can also easily be a case of going on dates with randoms and seeing the shift that way.
yeah, that's an interesting observation, which makes you wonder what is cause and what is consequence.
Yeah, that's a likely outcome i guess. Girl falls for "strong" men in the past, suddenly realizes they're all right-wing and potentially dangerous, suddenly tries to find a non-dangerous partner, or sth like that.
