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 feel like the idea that women are otherworldly creatures instead of people and seeing someone being nice to their partner as "the man having tamed a female and convinced her to treat him well" has a lot to do with his problem.

I hate how much that is preserved socially, there's no good reason why that hasn't gone away at least a decade or two ago.

Totally agree. I've been in a relationship for 5 years now, and it most definitely didnt involve me trying to tame her ๐Ÿคฃ

It was just luck to meet. We both liked each other. That's literally it.

The important feat is making yourself into a person that the other person would like to have in their life and makes their life better.

Yeah, seeing them as a person seems like a crucial part in that equation.
