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.

Bruh just find a group activity - fuck I don't know, instead of paying $30 for a beer, take a painting class or something..
Just did a class and I was the only guy in it.
It was a welding class.
... Maybe choose floristry next time?
Studied electronic engineering for two years - the group I went in was like 111 dudes and 7 girls. Some dudes enrolled in electives from faculties like nursery or dentistry because the boys/girls ratio there was inversely proportional as in our faculty.
Do electrical engineer with renewable or environmental focus and you'll have a more even ratio.
When I was growing up, my dad gave me a hard time because I wasn't very manly. The funny thing is that all the stuff I like is as manly as things get, in the sense that very few women have any interest in it. Too bad I'm not gay. It's not PC to say this, but I think I would have been happier if I was.
... Have you gone to a painting class? It's only couples
I'm not your mother, be creative and come up with a better idea 🤝
Get a part time job at Hobby Lobby or Michele's. Those places ooze dating-type single woman vibes. There were many things I needed for various projects that have only been locally available from these stores. I get a ton of looks going in there, and I'm like the most oblivious of dudes for that kind of attention.
Skip Hobby Lobby since their health care doesn't include abortions.
Or even birth control
Manager: "Why do you want to work here?"
Dude: "Trying to bang a co-worker."
Manager: "At least you're not just here for the paycheck. Welcome aboard!"
Single experienced woman who can take their teeth out 😏
Who doesn’t like a good gummie?
The local city reddit/discord is gonna have regular hangouts if your city is big enough. That's been my go-to starting point everytime I move.
I managed to get an in-person DND group going by visiting the local game store. There's also the other card / roleplay games available too.
Depending on your age, there's also the local college groups. You could join a cycling group, or a running geoup. Hell, the queer group in my town has a first Sunday coffee meetup.
It's easy to shut down any suggestions but damn, if all you ever do is naysay shit, then you're never gonna get anywhere. Do you want to find friends and romantic partners, or do you want to spend your time crapping on online dating?
The problem with that is you're going to meet reddit/discord people that way.
I went to a Reddit meet up in 2012 and never went back. Was way too nerdy for me. I presume that’s changed though as the site grew so much since then. But I still wouldn’t go cuz fuck Reddit
For what it's worth, r/Bogota has never had those - and if it had, it would be just incels living with their mommy who barely know their own neighborhood. It's ridiculous how they're so detached from the reality of our city and country.
Hey, my wife and I noticed you from across the canvas and just really like your vibe.
Goals
You can pick whatever you want. It's almost like everyone likes something different and there's no one answer for finding a romantic partner.

Bingo works, but it's an older crowd.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Bro, I’m sure one of them want a third.
Church events work fine, too. My buddy and me went to one in a damp basement and it was about 30 people. 100% women. Average age about 22 I guess. All were dancing. They all immediately started staring at us as if we were edible. Within the hour, my buddy met what would soon become his GF, and I was approached by this amazing girl. I then went on a string of remarkable dates with her.
The kicker: It was a Christian event, but the girls we hooked up with weren't Christians at all.
ikr a lot of people go to Church events for "safer" socializing, even if they only attend the services on Christmas and Easter if that. If you're Catholic or Orthodox, it's more like a cultural thing. (this may vary by area. Also it's not really safer, but your grandmother will say it is.)
