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.

This is some really disgusting co-option of LGBT identities to justify incel logic. Being gay is an intrinsic thing about someone. Judging someone for their number of past partners isn't. One is innate, the other is cultural. You can instantly tell if you have an attraction to someone just by looking at them. A gay man looking at another man will instantly feel attraction if he's his type. But number of partners? That's something you can only learn by talking to someone. And there's nothing innate about a person with more partners that makes them physically less attractive. Unless they have an STD, their body isn't changed in any way.

People aren't born with judgmental incel beliefs about the number of sexual partners other people have. Those are cultural practices, not innate aspects of a person's physical being, like being gay or trans is. We have no evidence of such judgments existing among wild animals, while we have numerous examples of same-sex attraction in nature.

Are you saying that physical attraction is the only valid type of attraction?

You're confusing lust with attraction.
