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.

Tbf it's been one day and OP thinks they got ghosted, when in reality there might be tons of different reasons why he hasn't got a reply yet

Yeah, but just before new years? They were wanting new years plans, and they probably made some.

How about saying what you want then?

Women think men hate women taking the lead because a lot of men hate women taking the lead.

Why though¿? I understand preferring to take the lead but why do men actually hate it when women take the lead¿?

The same reason cave men didn't try to eat the gazelle that was lying right next to their cave for 2 days. All the ones who did eat it, died. When things feel too easy, it sets off alarms that suggest it might not be as good as it seems. Men don't actually hate it, it just tends to set off their inborn defenses. If you want to take the lead on a man, try to show him that he's done something to earn your affection. Probably most applicable to strangers.

Those men are terrible, and ruin things for the rest of us.

My now-wife sent the first message, and I'm so glad she did. It was super rare even close to a decade ago.

Including whatever it was he said just before she stopped replying.
