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.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I have a feeling this is a very american thing. Random encounters with the other sex were the norm in Germany (at least before tinder and the likes, no idea how it's nowadays). Being confident got you a long way. Not always, mind you. But often enough. Most women actually like being spoken to, as long as it's a friendly encounter. I believe it might be different in America because everyone there is trying to one up each other (often resulting in loud and annoying behavior). I wouldn't want to be chatted up by the cliche american guy either.
Well I'm not American and it felt pretty spot on, so idk.
Still does here in America. But as this thread proves, lots of people on Lemmy lack it.
I've never been handsome, and I've never had a problem dating. Even when i was in high school and was awkward as fuck.
I grew up on a small town, and everyone talked to everyone. So i never had an issue.
Lemmy seems to have more social outcasts than even Reddit.
