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've also dated women taller than me and had no issue, my issue is simply that I find it funny how bodyshaming is only ok when you do it to men (no hair, fat gut, small peepee, short, etc) but any other time it's bad and you should feel bad. How come "manlet" still gets a pass but we've deprecated "whale?"

Frankly I bet no shortage of those incels are fat or short guys with small weewees and bad hair and that the bodyshaming helps cement them in their misanthropic position, "why even try, I can't grow taller or afford hair/dick surgery, yadda yadda.." Sure the fat can be worked on, but do we tell fat women that are lonely to slim down? Not anymore, that used to be true but now it's bodyshaming and you're the asshole for doing it, so why shouldn't fat men love their bodies too? Body positivity isn't only for women.

I guess what I'm trying to say is "Yeah, do not thou be afraid, but some of this shit needs to be talked about because it seems incongruous with reason, and honestly it may contribute to the problem."
