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.

We all make this mistake when we’re young and stupid. It’s how we grow up. Looks aren’t everything. They’re temporary at best.

I was in high school, she was a chubby amd adorable native american girl with waist length black hair. I left her for someone more conventially pretty. I'm a dumbass.

Yet another "problem" polyamory solves

snaps fingers

Just like that

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's a bit reductive isn't it? I'm all for consensual and open polyamory, but what problem, exactly, is solved in this by polyamory? If either party wants monogamy, which is a fairly safe assumption in the world today, then the polyamory just becomes lying, and that doesn't help anyone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you assume lying is involved, then that's not polyamory, it's cheating.

The important thing to understand here is that monogamy is a human construct, encouraged by people with self-serving agendas. It had to be learned. It can be unlearned.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Right. The reductive part is assuming this problem would be solved by polygamy, when realistically there's nothing at all showing that's the case, except that there's a guy who wants multiple women for different reasons. We only know that he wants that, but nothing of the motives and desires of the others, and thus it's reductive to say "polygamy fixes this".

Your change in verbiage from polyamory to polygamy demonstrates you have no interest in critical inquiry, you just want to argue.

And your complete dismissal over a simple typographic error demonstrates that you never intended to have an actual discussion. I had actually edited my post to polygamy because I had, inaccurately, recalled you using that word. At the end of the day, polyamory and polygamy, yes they're distinct. It doesn't change my statement regardless of which is used, however.

One of my favorite things about polyamorous people is how they can never fucking shut their goddamn mouths and trying to insert their bullshit everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's like they're always trying to convince everyone as well as themselves.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They're are two types of polyamorous people, and they're both mentally unwell.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Much like the.... lovely lady or gentleman above, that's a bit reductive. There's no one true style of relationship, and tossing out polyamory as bad and wrong, or monogamy as antithetical to humans base drives both miss out on the fundamental truth that no one solution works for everyone. The worst of both camps are those who try to say they're right and the other cannot work.

Disrespecting your partners and only seeing what they can do for you is not fixed by polyamory

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Polyamory is wrong! It's either polyphilia or multiamory, you never mix Greek and Latin.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I'm sure the Greeks wouldn't mind mixing with the Romans in a big polyamorous puddle

Is he sure he wasn’t dating his mom?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

The order of his priorities us also interesting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Fundamentally, this is a problem that has to do with rating women, and that too purely based on their external appearance.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Whenever someone rates people like that on these green texts, often than not, they're the problem. Also did the OP just want someone to take care of him like a child? 2.5/10 too whiny

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Everyone just wants their bangmaid

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Well yeah, but the rest of the post is just him elaborating on how he was the problem

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Often times the chubby girl was the big titty goth girl you were always looking for.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Well yeah, were people expecting big titty goth gfs to be skinny?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

The real big titty goth girlfriend is the friends we made along the way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is big chubby girl propaganda

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Both sides are the problem. Go gay instead.
