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.

Tbh I would probably try speed dating if I was looking for someone these days. I don't think I would have at 18-25 though.
The older you get, the more you value your time and energy (mental, emotional, physical, etc.) At least it seems that way for me and people in my age range. I did actually meet a woman recently and actually enjoy every minute spent together so I'm gonna take that fork in the road and see where it leads. Another part of aging, I no longer have high hopes so I just go with the flow. If it works out, great, if not, totally fine, life goes on.
"I have low hopes."
There is definitely a balance between self worth and pragmatism in that comment, but being self aware enough to recognize it pushes me toward believing its pragmatism. Maybe that's just a reflection of my own self though.
This person also has low hopes
Touché.
Strangely enough, things tend to work out better without having expectations and letting the chips fall where they may. YMMV.
These hopes are copes.
There aren't even speed dating events for people under 25 in my area.
