These types of posts always get so spicy, and not in a fun way.

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.

Disclaimer: I'm not 18-25.
I have a ton of women friends (more than men ATM) and have solid evidence that I am a significantly attractive man. I'm also bi so my options are a tad more broad than average.
Even with this I can say that dating is unpleasant and I have never asked for one and barely do them (women are rarely bold enough to be the initiator). It feels like a socially awkward job interview where I have to spend money I don't have and I fucking hate job interviews.
Admittedly, I also am autistic, socially anxious, and sexually repressed (American sex culture sucks).

Same here. That's the 21st century everyman.
Same, I guess? Mildly autistic according to psychologist and general practitioner, whatever that means. Taking sipralexa for my overactive amygdala.
Getting into relationships was easy as fuck. Never asked a person out in my life. Just talked to them and then basically went over the barrier of bf/gf naturally. Then she'd ask if we're together and I'd say of course lol
I'd say it's because of my looks cuz I've been training my physique since age 18. But honestly my core strength is that I love analysing/understanding people, and girls love it when a guy is that interested in them.

I don't really see a good time in dating strangers, so bars and speed dating are unappealing. Same for dating apps. I'd rather have an outing with someone who I am familiar with and already jive with as a friend.
I don't think that these stats really matter that much because I already know that I'm not represented in these stats. That's obviously a biased view, but I don't think it's necessarily a incorrect for being biased.
Every stranger is a friend you haven't met yet
Not true - the vast majority of people you meet, you will not end up connecting with meaningfully. On top of that, you're risking you and the other party's social comfort. I've already had plenty of cases of people I find obnoxious and unbearable try to force themselves into my social spaces, and I would not wish that on anyone else, nor would I want to be that person.
If people give off the right vibe or are maybe talking about the right thing when I pass by, I might chime in momentarily, but I'm not bothering strangers when there's no indication of a connection.
