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.

Now we know why she’s single

I assumed they laughed at her because she actually IS that desperate but in denial about it.

The amount of people that assume laughter is directed at them in a scenario like this instead of the friend or even just a reaction to something uncomfortable is too high.

I've always enjoyed that my interest is seen as insulting. Never understood why, so now I don't show interest.

Worst she can do is say "no"

[–] ivanovsky@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

The picture made me assume anon was a girl, so I was thinking that if you, a girl, hear another girl say she wants a man, and you offer your womanly services, it shouldn't come as a big shock to be rejected and laughed out of the room... Then I read the comments and thought "oh. Yeah. That makes more sense."

Assumptions ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Dude, why are you upset? You dodged a delusional bullet right there. Her response to explained everything about why she is alone. The proper comeback would have been, "Well, if THAT'S your response to a perfectly reasonable offer, then I'm not desperate either." Shuck it off, brother.

You won't die alone, she will. Or better yet, she'll marry the first dope that proposes, no matter how unsuitable they are, and have a miserable life.

You could meet someone tomorrow, and be in a fun relationship by the end of the year, but you have to keep trying. It's a numbers game, keep taking your turns at bat, you'll get lots of strikes, but you'll get on base a few times, too.

I'm proud of you, brother. You took a HUGE swing with that attempt, and struck out, but at least you didn't go down watching the ball speed past you. That's far more than most guys would ever do. I guarantee that we were all reading your story, and pulling for you, and when you got shot down, so did we. If we'd been there, we'd all be buying you beers, and celebrating your courage, and you wouldn't have been crying in the parking lot.

Get back in the game, nobody ever scored from the bench.

"Oh, sorry, you seemed so desperately moaning about being alone, I was feeling charitable. Have a GREAT life with that lol...."
