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.

well deserved for watching pick up artist shit. Imagine trying to desperately manipulate your date/aquaintances

Thanks for translating, I could only read "pole up ass."

I mean, a lot of PUA advice is basic bitch "wash your ass", "dress nice", "engage in interesting conversation", "don't get hung up on a single person forever" tips that get glazed in new age pop psychology.

And if you go to the OG Bible of the PUAs (and get all the way to the end of the book) Neil Strauss makes all the same critiques of PUAs in the book that's supposed to laud them.

The mistake people make is in reading the material like a How To Plumber's Guide to fixing your dick drain instead of a life experience that informs a moment in history. You can learn from the mistakes of other people without becoming an asshole. Or you can learn to be an asshole by blindly replicating other people's mistakes.

I think hisnheart is in the right place I mean he did work on himself. The issue is no one else is really talking to these guys.
