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 think you're still just seeing the noisy few and those people are not the norm. The most vocal people are not necessarily the majority. I think most people on both sides or all sides are just looking for someone they're compatible with

So either myself and all other other single men I talk to about this all have terrible luck or there is some sort of shift that's happened in the last ~10 years and it's finally getting so bad that others are picking up on it.

I was in a relationship or dating in one form or another from the age of like 14 until I was ~27. Only in the last 6-7 years did it get really bad.

I think it's a combination of a lot of things but ultimately it's become a numbers game and most guys just don't want to put up with the bullshit anymore. Especially in this economy many dudes are just checking out. Not only from dating but basically everything.
