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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

With the amount of random attention from men women get, the rate doesn't have to be very high for it to be regular, particularly when you add selection bias that people who react like that are probably more likely to approach someone in the first place.
And while I would agree it's probably higher than 1%, 1% really sounds lower than it is - that would be 40 million people globally. If it's 5% it's 200 million and there are still almost 4 billion that are completely normal.
The sad reality is that it just doesn't take high numbers for that kind of experience to be a regular occurence.
