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've no difficulty understanding lads being thirsty and attracted by a lovely lady who appears to be into gaming and hey, you can even interact and try to get her attention!

Now, explain to me lads getting super invested in some lads running around a field chasing a ball. Like, literally having their lives revolve around it, their identity entirely centered on it. Now that's a complete mystery to me.

Each to their own pal. I’m sure there are things you do that others find a mystery.

Hey, no hate on people loving sports!

My point was it's super clear why a teenager wants to thirst on a pretty woman playing vidya.

Now, my irish mates all having their club and being all very serious about it, when they'll curse the English in the same sentence has always been hilarious to me.
And I'm talking people from fecking Donegal, who lived through the Troubles and shit. Never understood that one.

Why?

Their mad at the English government, not the English people. An English football club is entirely separate from the English government.
