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 think if a woman you like making a hard pass at you makes you want to pass on her, you have something internal to resolve if you're thinking you still want to be in an intimate relationship with another human being.

I mean dating at 40 has to be hard anyway. Your body does not look the same. It does not work the same. And making friends when you're older is hard. If you're religious you can try joining the church. At the stage thing did you go up and tell a story?

Whoa whoa, not everyone at 40 is a washed up wreck. Especially with no kids. Physical maintenance and nutrition has come a long way. We aren't the 40+ of the 80s and 90s who looked rundown af.

Was not trying to say 40-somethings are washed up, but if you think it's like 20-something I have some herbal brain supplements to sell you.

Also that message may have been public but it wasn't aimed at you. I don't know really but from what you said I'm sure you're doing great. You're maybe taking it from a perspective of someone who is in a different place from OP.
