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.

at the end of the day my right shoulder smells of women's perfume

That's gotta count for something right?

If you have to ask this question, you know it doesn't count.

Also, I think you'd be better trying to flirt with the Salsa ladies than sniffing for their perfume on your shoulder

And many of the salsa ladies hate this as they just want to dance and not navigate the minefield of various men trying to hit on or grope them.

Maybe I got this wrong but doesn't flirting imply consent because it's a bidirectional thing?

Good question! It made me challenge some of my assumptions.

Merriam Webster defines flirting as "to behave amorously without serious intent". Flirting, at its core, is a less direct, less intense way of letting someone know you're interested in them romantically and/or sexually.One can flirt with another person without it being reciprocal.

I made my previous comment as I used to dance and my ex is a dance instructor. Men attending dance lessons or going out to dance with solely amorous intent are the bane of many dance scenes.

Are they big guys?

Dammit, it took me a full minute to get the joke.
