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'm not saying anything about right or wrong or societies roles, but I don't even think it's hyperbole to say my wife has been complimented thousands of times more then I have in our lives. It's incredibly rare for me to get a compliment from a stranger, and even then it's usually from other guys saying they like some item I'm wearing. It really does feel fucking incredible when it happens because it's so insanely rare. And not to toot my own horn too much, but I'm not that bad looking, so I can't imagine what it's like for people with less fortune than I have in their appearance.

Same. I still think about the older gentleman who randomly told me my glasses had a cool icon on them. Made me glow for days.
