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.

... 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!"

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.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Bro, I’m sure one of them want a third.
