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.

Bruh, who the fuck is being rejected "hundreds, if not thousands" times? Maybe some people are, but thats such a red flag that I would argue then maybe they should change their approach in the first place.

Maybe you are exaggerating (it just makes you sound a bit like an incel, apologies), and I probably would argue men do get rejected more then woman, because men are still (mostly) expected to make the first move, but like you don't need experience handling rejection to not have a violent rage fit.

Edit: I have read another one of your replies down the chain, and uh yeah you definitely do sound a lot like an incel.

Yea... I'm well into middle age and I've been rejected like a dozen or so times maybe. I'm not sure how you get rejected 100s or 1000s unless you're just swinging at everyone in your vicinity that happens to have a vagina. Maybe try talking to them first and see if there's some chemistry there before going for a date..

I'm in my 30s and probably at over 100 rejections like, total in my life. I've never been looking for long term relationships so I do try with a larger number of women than most men. But like...hundreds of rejections between success? That's absurd. You'd run out of women.
